"R U TRIGGERED" and all its subvariants were radioactive toxic waste and turned a valid and important psychological concept into bullying vector that for a time had nearly universal acceptance.

I still see vestiges of "le epic bacon" out there but it's mostly confined to aging :grillman: types and some :up-yours-woke-moralists: cultists and a few contrarian carninist edgelords that want to "trigger the vegans." Yes I know all of the above have a lot of overlap.

    Yeah that was 1e and it still took my whole life pool to pull it off.

    I miss shadow run but I don't miss adding all those dice. Do new additions make it easier? I'm sure it would be easy on VTT but I don't think any of them have great support for it.

      I always just used chummer's built in dice roller or a discord bot. I think roll20 has full shadowrun 5e integration but I hate its interface so much that I stopped using it and would just use a discord channel with occasionally posted reference material instead.

      New editions are so poorly written that most people who are fans of Shadowrun don't recommend playing them. I haven't checked out 6e, but 5e's layout was abysmal. Stuff like sections of rules that frequently reference other rules that were 30+ pages apart for no reason, and lots of links to the index were wrong.

      When I ran Shadowrun for around 1-2 years a while ago, we gradually built up a houserule document that ended up being over 30 pages long.
