Shadowrun

You dont actually play with elves, magic, and dragons, do you?

Just started Shadowrun with friends and we couldn't believe they tried to fit that garbage into a cyberpunk game. Completely banned it at character creation, and it's been fantastic.

    It's never been to my taste, but Shadowrun always had more interesting mechanics than Cyberpunk.

    This is some of the weakest bait imaginable. This board is dying.

      This is such weak bait that it twists around again to good bait because of how outraged I am by your pathetic fricking laziness. It's a mobius strip of shit.

        Then why bother playing Shadowrun when you could just play Cyberpunk and have all that stuff already removed?
        This is assuming that this isn't just 100% bait and you don't even play games.

      /tg/ has been losing posters at a rapid pace and shit like this thread is exactly why. The fact there's some moron even pretending this isn't bait tells you all you need to know.

        Yeah. Gone are the generals, talking about actual games, actual real play and real suggestions and ideas. Instead, we get AI Slop, antis frothing about ANOTHER THING I HATE and really low tier, boring, worthless bait from posters who, if they aren't too young to use this site, are mentally moronic to the age of a 13 year old.

      Turn it around. Make it into a good cyberpunk thread.

    Let's assume this was an honest non-bait thread for a moment. Why bother redacting 50% of the system and putting in all this work to ignore core elements of it if you can just so the same shit with a different system minus all the mental gymnastics. Just play CP2020 or Android or whatever.

      To be fair, he genuinely might not be baiting. Shadowrun is a much better system than Cyberpunk, and it still works just fine even if you take out the magic.

        I've never played Cyberpunk, but either it must be extremely shit for one to make such a statement or the person stating it must be extremely full of shit.

    Yes I do, but I also play it as cyberpunk Earthdawn as it was and always should be.

      GURPS cyberpunk is almost embarrassingly bad and has been coasting off of the Secret Service having an oopsie for like thirty years now.

      I prefered Kromosome, the AMAZING Engine Biopunk game from the 90's. Beautifully creative, but boy, she needed some modifications to get into a functional state. RAW, there was no reason given you couldn't strap a silencer onto a rocket launcher.

    Why wouldn't you?

    It's not like the actual game is good, or ever had solid, enjoyable mechanics. You play it for the setting

    I never liked how they made cybernetics and magic so opposed to each other. Has anyone come across a decent fix for that, either in terms of lore or mechanics?

      To be fair, it’s more a balance thing than anything else. I do think it would be cool to play a Magic Cyborg but I get why you can’t.

      There is already a way, paying more. Mages can get better ware and mundanes can buy alchemical bullcrap and quickened spells, anyone can adopt a dual natured critter too. The more out there options are cybermancy and spirit pacts, there probably exist artifacts that can awaken you too.
