"Gonna be playing Shadowrun this weekend."
I'm not into pen and paper rpgs (though i'm curios about them), but if you need a bunch of dice, why not use an app?
If I was going to rob myself of rolling thousand dice, I'd just play video games.
In a nutshell: rolling cool looking dice in a groovy dice tower is just absolutely pleasant.
I can't swim through an app like Scrooge McDuck in his vault.
RPGs for me are a great way to not look any devices or screens for a few hours. Paper character sheet, physical dice, books and a pencil.

God i wanna get into shadowrun, but I don't want to learn shadowrun
Having learned it: I totally feel you. The books are laid out like shit.
worst part is i'd absolutely be the DM. having read a little of the book i feel like i could just learn whatever role i want to take pretty easily (lets go decker), but keeping everything in my head at once as a dm? a lot less simple
Lol. Decker is probably the most complicated, confusing thing in the game because of how cyberspace mechanics work, and how it splits between two different combat scenarios when you have other characters in meat space while the decker is in cyberspace. Not just for the players, but especially the DM.
I actually still play 3rd edition, as the introduction of the wireless world in 4th makes this stuff even more confusing.
