When I say "RPG material," I mean things like statblocks, classes, etc.

It is an unfortunate fact that Shadowrun tends to suffocate under its own density.

    I love Shadowrun as a setting and a game aesthetic; but fuck do I hate the sheer bookkeeping of just standing a character up, never mind the density of the actual play.

    I have never played Shadowrun online. I wonder if a lot of the tedium of the dice would be eliminated by character sheet math?

    Oh nah when I say "online" in this case, I'm talking "getting out of character creation and into gameplay". Only found one good program that made Shadowrun chums, but it was a for-cost program that locked the purchase code to one machine. And I lost that code; so I'm just... Never making a sheet again, 'cause I'm not going back to the days of meticulously tabbing out how much nuyen I spent on what during character creation in a notepad file again.

    (And honestly, roll20 play as far as Shadowrun goes is just as dense from what I remember.)
