    I haven’t played a lot of other RPGs, but GURPS is one of my faves - I didn’t realize the turns went quickly compared to other systems!

    Shadowrun can drag though - I felt guilty as a rigger unleashing my drones, didn’t realize when I set them up I’d be monopolizing combat time the way I did…

        Horror RPGs in general have very succinct combat. Prolonged battles don’t really fit the vibes. It’s pretty much either you die quickly, kill the monster quickly, or run away.

        Completely agree on both counts, though I can’t speak to 6th edition.

        Some of the community likes a Blades in the Dark conversion for Shadowrun, though.
