Main / ShadowRun
John Anstett's thoghts on Shadowrun
I loved the mixture of future tech and fantasy elements in the story line of Shadowrun, but most of all I loved the rule system, especial for mages. The game uses d6's and the higher the skill the more dice you get to roll. The difficulty is the number you need to roll and the number of dice that meet or beat it are the number of successes. The more successes the better you do.
With magic, the rules treat spells more like skills that take energy. You can cast more if you can resist the drain, not just a limited number of spells, and you you can cast at lower levels if you do not want the strain.
I will post more details later.
