What are the over all population demographics of shadowrun America? I got the idea that you had a few mega cities and lots of wilderness and maybe farms The SR writers had no clue about population distribution/demographics in North America and cared less. So it makes no sense. The FASA internal mot...

I think Data Trails (the Matrix splat book) will clarify a bunch of things, for the better. Right now the RAW is very confusing, and we can only deduce the RAI. You really think so? I think this is being written by the same crew that wrote the last 4 increasingly crappy rule versions (SR4, unwired,...

If most people think 6 or 8 or 10 is sufficient, a martial artist could accidentally show up with like, 15+ with even trivial expenditure of points and never miss his or her opponents, which is obvious problematic. Hero is a game where you could have a viable character whose thing was that they nev...

This is in itself the main problem with licensed property RPGs; you need to present at least as much material as the actual source material, or you're falling down on the job, but if you don't go beyond that, you're not actually providing anything new - you're just repackaging the same old shit. Th...

Yeah, the car stealing argument dont make sense. Any car you rob would fence for a fraction of its cost, and then you would have to deal with this market establishd players - local gangs, mafia, even police. I see a team succeeding at it once or twice, but more than that they would be in trouble. S...

i hazily remember there having been a thread either here or on dumpshock where somebody actually went and posted a completely RAW step by step hacking attempt . . not sure if it was still SR4 or SR5 rules, but i think it was the latter . . and it was a long posting with many steps. The developer po...

It's like the people writing these rules never playtest them. Or even think critically about them. But that's OK, because it seems like most of the people who claim to be playing SR5, like Silva here, are not actually using the SR5 rules. They are using some weird hybrid of the rules in the SR5 book...

The 3rd answer for drop out is to not care. Hackers are along to solve particular issues involving equipment and essentially their skills are add-ons to another character concept. A hackers weapons in a firefight are guns and grenades, hence they should have some skills in that direction. Frank does...

Apropos of nothing, is there a gameplay reason why damage can't come in hard codes like pre-SR4? That is, it's impossible to actually do three damage in one attack. Everything has a universally static number of health boxes and you can do 1, 2, 4, 10, or instant-kill/destroy damage. Because people ...
