1. One more question about Genesys and its Shadowrun hack: there is this official Android setting for Genesys. Apart from lack of magic: how good is for cyberpunk settings? Does it provide the right amount of mentioned here granularity ? Did anyone here used this book?
2. Researching the subject some more: I have found some nice videos about Shadowrun 3rd edition. And many people call it as their favorite edition. And it really seem having some neat aspects: dice pools seems not to grow to ridiculous sizes, it's rules seem to be quite simple, but still have enough granularity with its changing TN and some "effort" aspects in the form of Action Pool for each fight round.
And from 4th edition the authors seem to go into direction of overcomplicating things. But yet again: it is also mentioned as favorite edition of many.
And all of this: are only my impressions from watching quite a few tutorial videos:D
And... I love those old-school Art! :)
That's way I'm asking the veterans/practicians: what do they think about 3rd edition? Maybe they could correct the book, to make it a better read. Streamline a little the rules and go evolution way from that point? Could it be the best edition to start with Shadowrun?
Right now I would be really excited to try 3e - indeed! Any experiences with it?
