Editing Hc Svnt Dracones (section)

==TLDR==
If, for some reason, you want to play a furry RPG, play ''[[Ironclaw]]'' instead. Or ''[[Albedo]]'', which is way more OG.

If, for some reason, you ''also'' want to play a sci-fi game set in the burnt out remnants of the solar system with megacorps running everything into the ground, or one of your players is a furry and keeps insisting on ''HSD'', just tell them they can be a furry in  ''[[Eclipse Phase]]''. Or, you know, any other sci-fi RPG. Fuck, ''[[Starfinder]]'' could possibly scratch their itch. 

If you don't heed our advice and play something else, and you desperately, ''desperately'' want to play in this setting, with its constant unstable rules and half the missing content saved for the second edition, be prepared for the following:
* Shitty Player builds that will trivialize everything you could throw at them. Seriously, a semi-optimized (not even minmaxed) Lateral with a semi-basic melee weapon will eviscerate the shit out of basic mooks on Lvl 1. And something like Slagcoil will wreck the balance even further with how it deals more damage the more enemies are armored (aside from living armor, which can eat enemies on its own instead).
* Players being more than capable to Party-wipe by using the stupid psychic system in the game (Literally worse than [[psykers]]). Gets a bit better in 2E, when it's no longer a fucking Vortex Grenade equivalent and, even in the case of worst outcome, Peril-affected can choose, whom to drag into hell with them (no more than 10 total). However, a possibility of [[RAPE|Whisper Event]] happening instead makes up for that little improvement.
* Stupid grenade rules.
* Stupid map-layouts, since it's hex-mapped.
* Tons of reused art from previous rulebooks and supplements.
* Wacky page layout in the 2E core book, with invisible text sections duped from other pages (at least, in the PDF). God have mercy on you if you decide to play raw 1E. However, keeping the 1E books nearby might make sense even if you play 2E, because Mastered expansion still assumes you have all the lorebits either present in previously-bought books or memorized.
* Mastered expansion releasing with ton of bought-out art (some of which looks like stock drawings) and '''still''' no weapons for tanks and APCs. Also, no rules for Ra's agents, despite bioship failure table's "True Nature Revealed" result implying there should be some actual rulebits. Oh, and author's Mary Sue snake character present as a "Noteworthy Population of Sol".
* And finally, what a [[Communism|Socialist]] thinks a future run by [[Shadowrun|corporations]] will look like.
