go here, play 3rd edition shadowrun, boggle at the complexity of typing in a direction or "put katana in duffelbag" and then actually wonder how the fuck you got lost in a world made ENTIRELY OF TEXT.

really don't know fuck about shadowrun
not that that would have been a problem if I had not rolled a magic user
How complicated could it be? It only uses one sort of dice!
On the other hand, I seem to be paralyzed...
Compared to something simple like Call of Cthulhu, it is all sorts of unnecessarily complicated. I would even argue that it makes D&D 4th edition look simple.
You didn't just fucking say this.

Now that i am no longer a kid I somehow want to try D&D and MUDs and stuff.

d&d 4th is pretty simple dude
4th edition d&d was specifically designed to not be complicated at all
If you find 4e complicated, this may be more your speed. It's pretty much the same, just not so many big words. It's even got similar artwork!
oh you're one of those guys
we call them silly gooses around these parts
So many things were dropped when they made 4th ed shadowrun. A lot of them unnecessarily. Like making summoning the same for all traditions, took out some cool variety that made different magicians actually play differently.

while I don't disagree, I'll just say this

I am so glad I really don't want to play a decker anymore or I was insane enough to in the first place
I bought the PHB, my group tried it and we reached a consensus that, if we're gonna play D&D, we're gonna play 3.5. That would have been the end of it, but the fucking neckbearded man-children will not leave us the fuck alone about it. It's put an even worse taste in my mouth about the whole thing.
That, and the fact that I'm really jealous that Dark Sun didn't get a 3.5 makeover.
good work there
Man, I'm not saying they are man children because they play 4e. I actually know a few pretty cool guys that play it.
But the two 4e groups that haunt our FLGS are a confederacy of deadbeats, morons and pedophiles. Whenever 4e comes up, the memory of Fred's intimidating odor wafts through my minds nose.
If I wanted to stir up bullshit about this, I would have posted in the various RP mega threads that I've seen here. But I just want to let bygones be bygones.
But don't pretend it's not simplistic. Maybe you like that about it, sure, I can dig it. But the game is Easy Mode all the way through. It's not that I like doing math, but I want a bit more control over who my character is and what they do.
Maybe I've just been spoiled by WoD.
It's the language that the game center of my brain speaks in. Whenever I'm learning a new game, I try to equate the parts of the new system to parts of 3.5. Because of this, 4e feels... hollow to me. It's not as rich or complex as the 3.5 system. I don't like the way gameplay feels, I don't like the setting, I don't like how bare it feels. And don't get me started on alignment.
I gave up when it told me to train my skills.
I ain't having with no fancy readin'.
