Im considering hacking Into the Odd to rebuild Shadowrun without all the... nonsense. Anyone got advice?I can't comment on Into The Odd, but I would consider either [The Sprawl](https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/171286/the-sprawl-midnight) or [Runners In The Shadows](https://markcleveland.itch.io/runners-in-the-shadows). The former is a general purpose cyberpunk system built on Apocalypse World and the latter is a Shadowrun hack of Blades in the Dark. And I guess I'd be remiss if I didn't also mention that I've built my own system for my Shadowrun campaigns, called [Straylight](https://discord.gg/ncv75d2g4F). I'm in private playtesting right now, and I plan to have the first public playtest draft up very shortly (weeks or days, depending on how things go).

I think [Runners in the Shadows](https://markcleveland.itch.io/runners-in-the-shadows) has been out for a while

Look at older editions. 6th is hot garbage published with criminally low quality material and he didn't pay the freelance writers that contributed to the game.

Goddammit another game to go on my wishlist apparently. Goodbye, moneyLike others have said, the rules are... bad. Especially the latest edition. A couple of the older editions are "favorites," but still mixed bags, and lots of people just take the setting and use it in another system entirely. There's a Shadowrun actual play podcast called NeoScum that I loved (now concluded), and it began with "It's like D&D mixed with Bladerunner!" and ended with "Fuck this, fuck Shadowrun, the universe rearranges itself so we can play a different game." They even had a goofy recurring bit they would do whenever they had to stop play to look up rules or calculate something, which happened *constantly*. It's also not a player issue, since they've switched to Call of Cthulhu for another story (Gutter) and just don't have that problem.

I like the Anarchy version the most. The cover is v4 and v5 is better but it stays too crunchy for me. If anybody understanding French wants to start Shadowrun, look at [Anarchy](https://shop.black-book-editions.fr/produit/6543/0/shadowrun-anarchy/shadowrun-anarchy-vf) and [Anarchiste](https://shop.black-book-editions.fr/produit/63741/0/shadowrun-anarchy/shadowrun-anarchy-anarchistes). The second one is the best presentation of the universe of Shadowrun over all versions (over all languages between French and English).

Did anybody tried [:Otherscape](https://sonofoak.com/pages/otherscape)? I understand it's a clone of Shadowrun. Talking about other games, I love Blades in the Dark and [CBR+PNK](https://emanoelmelo.itch.io/cbrpnk-core) is really great.

Others have given alternatives, but no one has offered Savage Worlds. It'd probably work great in a cyberpunk setting with magic, and it plays super easy. You could just run it straight out of the box with the SWADE rulebook, but there're published books (and free homebrews) that go for that feeling as well (like Sprawlrunners).kind of curious to how you think SWADE could be good.
