@jpacker had some fun with 4, but 5th is where I mostly love it, even if I haven't gotten to play it much. I was actually a part of the first public play test for 5th, and it was amazing.

@carver I almost bought the hard cover but the production was so bad that both copies were falling apart under their own weight on the shelves.

how did people take to the sometimes preposterous always-on wireless on devices?

@jpacker hmm. Never had a problem with my book. And it was part of the first shipments. Ben thinking of trying to join an online game for some system. I really miss the creative outlet.

@carver Maybe a bad batch - one was had the cover cracked away and tore a little, the other where the binding was solid, but the pages were aligned with the bottom edge of the cover instead of centered like it should have been.

@jpacker yeah that is definitely weird. I just like 5th because it's got that old school vibe. I also like that it is easier to die. Makes me have to think about my actions more, than just "I run blindly around the corner!"

@carver I won't lie, the limits on net hits works for me. The return of decks and deckers is great.

But the always-on wireless thing is breaking my heart. And the addiction rules are a hot mess.

Still trying to grok the matrix rules, actually.

@jpacker "still trying to grok the matrix rules" seems like half of the reviews for Shadowrun I've ever seen, any edition. Heh
