I imagine it's more that you can't minmax quite as well, for better or worse. You really have to prioritize.

Serious talk, is 5e playable? I'm in the mood to run SR again since it was the first system I cut my DMing teeth on and I like the sound of the changes (in particular the character gen). I feel like running something in St. Petersburg, where the runners are on retainer by the Red Vory and spend their days loving with Maersk and S-K, helping out the Vikings with grunt work and trying not to get shivved by gopniks.

Would there be any interest in an IRC for talking Shadowrun, similar to what #acolyte does for warhams roleplayers?

Have technos ever not been subpar deckers? I remember that in 4th they were very lackluster as well, at least out of the gate.

I'd say running silent should generate Overwatch; you have nothing to fear if you've nothing to hide.

I'd be tempted to say yes purely because technos are very meh in 5e so far.

Basically gently caress the mirrorshades approach, if I want a troll that dual-wields Krime Cannons that's my right.

ProfessorCirno posted:So, has anyone tried to make a new version of Mr Lucky - a human focused first and foremost on Edge, and probably with high attributes and skills, but no magic and little to no edge? I remember it being a very niche thing in SR4, but with Edge being better, I'm wondering how it works now. Did you mean skills here?

Gobbeldygook posted:Stop right there. Sprites have a device rating but they are are not devices. oh no it's the fun police If I as a GM want it to work that way it does, and it's not like technos need the implied nerf of going full RAW (which is a dumb concept because people aren't robits).

To be fair, as a GM I'd use one of those hyper-optimised murdersams as a prime runner. Like, essentially an Eversor Assassin from warhams, where he's not really an employee so much as a biological weapon that you pump full of K-10 and shove into the nearest conflict zone until everything is dead.

Check out Feral Cities, it might have more info. That said from what I remember in most wild cities there's still some connectivity (if nothing else than from satlinks) and there'd almost certainly be street docs to hock ware.

Poil posted:Is there any reason to use gel rounds instead of stick-n-shock, at all? Unless you happen know that the enemy is going to be wearing decent rating non-conductive armor of course. They deal the same damage but one has a sweet secondary effect and the other doesn't. Take Sharpshooter, Strive For Perfection, be a pistol adept. Gel rounds let you use the ricochet shot called shot, which combined with the previous turns you into Revolver Ocelot.
