- aetherson 2y agoNo. I don't know what your parent poster is talking about. D&D chargen is not in any edition of the game terribly complex. It's not wildly simple, either -- D&D is squarely "rules medium" and there are plenty of RPGs with simpler chargen. But it's not notably hard for its space. 20 years ago there was more manual calculation of numbers on a character sheet, that now is likely to be handled by a digital sheet
- entropie 2y agoYeah you right; I meant DSA and edited my comment accordingly.
- entropie 2y agoAh my mistake, I meant DSA and not D&D. In my opinion, character creation in shadowrun is relatively simple, if a little time-consuming. In WoD character creation takes 10 to 30 minutes max, even for a complete beginner.
