I refuse to believe you all would really let your players bully you into running only d&d (ttrpg.network)

If they don't want to play it, running it isn't gonna be that fun. That's why I haven't ran the Shadowrun campaign I made for my group. Nobody other than my sister wants to play SR. :/

I like SR way more than D&D, personally.

SR lore is so good and the system has so much potential.

We've switched from D&D to SR4 and BOY does that rulebook have a lot of holes. So many contradictions and omissions, so often things are very unclear. Top that with the insane decision to have the group play basically three separate space-time lines with the real world, the spirit world and the matrix. Let's all wait around the table for an hour while our decker does matrix that takes a second of in-game time and then our shaman projects into the astral plane and that's not as fast as the matrix but still a lot faster and takes another hour but it's only a minute in-game.

We stopped after like 6 months. And it's a shame because the world is so fun.

SR6 is way better now. There's also another system (Anarchy) is you want.

And.since a year or two, there are metaplans.

We shopped around for a bit, read reviews and talked to some SR veteran players and most pointed to SR4 being the one to go with.

But Anarchy sounds like a thing I should look into, thanks!
