This is such a fantastic run down. I’m a huge fan of the SR games on Steam and the cyberpunk genre in general. I looked into The Sprawl, which is clearly a labor of love, but it feels a little thin on rules where it needs to be tighter (advancing trust relationships) and tight where it needs loosening up (mission clock). Still an awesome idea but the TTRPG version of Shadowrun looks like a more developed system. Think I’ll have to take the plunge 😄

I have to present a counter to your arguement that people who dont like shadowrun 6e are just more fond of older editions. I started d&d with 5e and I hate 5e. I later found other versions of d&d or derivative games of d&d that I like better. I don't have nostalgia, I just dislike d&d 5e. At all. So when I hear people say they don't like shadowrun 6e like it's the bad edition or the mistep, I appreciate that sentiment.

I always use matte varnish on my game models no matter of the material because people "help" clean up the table by putting all your miniatures in their hand where they rub together. One time I loaned out some figures I had just painted, but hadn't varnished yet to a friend to run demos during a con and after two days of playing all the paint on their heads or helmets were rubbed down to the bare plastic. While they insist they use no mold release compound, the resin weeps sometimes, even after it's cured and even if it's bone dry, for some reason water or alchohol based primers (like brush on primers or through an airbrush) beads up, they get better results with a rattlecan primer for some reason. I guess the enamel paint coats better?

I'm sorry buddy but it's happening, those people you guys want to keep away from the hobby GamesWorkshop & the Shareholders wants them to try out their IPs because they want to go mainstream, and that simply can't happen without change. Just like when the Comic Industry added the first Female Superhero back during in 1940 and the first Black Superhero in 1947, yeah I'm sure people back in the day didn't like this but that's how change works in the world. And right now GamesWorkshop is attempting to diversify their franchises, and don't want to cater to a specific group of people anymore and we will see if they fail or succeed. But not everyone likes "change" especially when something feels like it won't belong to you anymore. But hopefully Female Custodes won't prevent you from enjoying the hobby anymore.
@normalguygames3 ай бұрын
It's not going to stop my hobby time, but I feel as if GW could have handled it better. I'm not against female custodes but what I am against is the way they treat their customers and the way they decided to make the change. I also feel like a lot of the people that are the loudest are just tourists that aren't actually going to buy the models or play the game. GW attempted female space marines before and they flopped because no one wanted them. I don't know, we'll see how this plays out. I am not against someone coming into the hobby, I want new blood in the hobby. I am against people stomping in and saying everything is 'problematic' and all that then making a stink about changes. Those are the people that don't respect the hobby.

It's interesting when you mention that so many stick with 3rd edition. In what I've seen in discussions and other videos on KZfaq, I was under the impression that most stuck with 4th edition as the best version of the system overall. Could you speak more to that?
@normalguygames4 ай бұрын
In my musings and internet travels I've seen way more people tout 3rd edition as the best. A lot of people didn't like the change to the core dice rolls and target numbers and a lot of people felt like it made the system a lot less versatile. However, that being said it was balanced better in my opinion. 4th becomes problematic the more powerful the characters get though, which makes the game kind of putter out the longer you play. The Matrix got changed as well, I don't remember a lot about it but I know it went to an augmented VR kind of deal and the time dilation no longer exists, it works on the same time frame as real time. That's honestly all I can remember off hand.
