Other RPGs / Shadowrun 3e and 4e - Share your experiences
« on: April 11, 2014, 10:01:01 PM »
A number of friends of mine (no I swear they're actually friends! In real life and everything!) were contemplating getting together for a tabletop experience, as all but one were interested but had no previous experience. The one was interested, but had very little experience, mostly with 4e dnd which didn't strike him. So after a bit of time, one mentioned he'd heard good things about Shadowrun, and as I was the resident tabletop geek of the party, it was decided I should grab the core books or so, digest the rules, and start a game.
So this is fine, as I dont mind being shanghai'd into DMing, but I have never played shadowrun before. It looks pretty simple, and could be easy to just quickly set up characters for and get going, but I wanted to see if anyone here had any experience with shadowrun, or knew if mythweavers or gitp or somesuch active place were the place to go for tips and reviews.
Anything I should be pre-warned about? Anything good to know for someone jumping in? Just a general information grab here, thanks in advance for anything and everything.
