Well at the time we where sort of grungy punk and goth uni students so we felt at home in Shadowrun more than we did in D&D and to some degree I like it a lot better than the D20 stuff.Overall you'll find that magic and tech seem to be better compliments for individual archtypes and there isnt a real disparity between them that you have in games like D&D.D&D is a nice and easy way to get into roleplaying, its pretty much beer and skittles heroic adventure, however there are a multitude of systems out there that are better and do things differently so dont be put off by learning a new one.Best of all.- No levels, the system hangs together for as long as you want to keep playing the characters. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I had characters, mages, sams, ordinary humans with no tech or magic run for literally years and they where all just as good as each other, none of this turning into 'gods' crap of high level games. Its pretty bulletproof.I think some people made the mention that Astral and Decking take too long, this is true sometimes but if youre careful you can do both quick and dirty. Lets face it, neither is very healthy if your doing it alone so its not good to stay there for any length of time.Its relatively easy to learn, the setting is one of the best and you can have a lot of fun as being career criminals and general lowlifes.</blockquote>
