I'm always on the verge of running Shadowrun 2e to traumatize my crunch-phobic friends, but so far, the Matrix subsystems and some nonsensical rules* have prevented us from experiencing 2e's full glory.
*Just HOW can 7 be a higher difficulty than 6, when ANY reroll will get you to 7 at the minimum?
Help me, I woke up and remembered the rules for Shadowrun 2E, one of the very first RPGs I ever played.
Lord forgive me for what I am about to do.

Jan 21, 2026 09:02I recently found this Reddit post re: Shadowrun 2e while looking for tips on running it, and it got me SO much closer to actually pulling the trigger.
May President Dunkelzahn have mercy on my poor friends.
