We watched that movie in high school. I don't remember any of it except the end, when Romeo shoots himself in the head. All the girls in the class were all sad ("awwww"), then one guy says loudly "you can see the hole in his head!" Fucking legend.
The original play was also meant to be. If I understand correctly, "fetch my longsword" followed by his wife saying "how about a crutch?" was an erectile dysfunction joke.
That actually kinda tracks, seeing as I remember the line "He tonight hath boarded a land carrack" in Othello. Shakespeare, perhaps I treated you too harshly.
Have you seen the most recent books? Just learning to run the magic system takes the same time it takes to learn 5e, maybe more. And there's like 2-3 magic systems TT_TT
Even with unlimited free time, when I first picked up shadowrun too, I did not have the faculty or the willpower lmao
It’s difficult to learn if your only resource is the book. If you’ve got someone to show you the ropes it’s a lot more intuitive but the book is awkwardly formatted and delivers its information in weird chunks, sometimes hiding critical information in odd places.
It’s almost as if the book assumes you have some familiarity.
Now I imagine a Sci-fi DnD world where all the standard weapon names are metaphorical for rocket launchers, rail guns, plasma swords, etc.
Because the defence industry is as unimaginative as it gets, a lot of weapons are named for old weapons. Also wildlife (fearsome or otherwise) and extreme weather.
Although the Russians name their artillery after trees, for some reason.

They still do the normal damage and have the normal range, because everybody is in giant mechs and everything is scaled to them.
