Shadowrun

Hey folks, one of these days I'd like to run a shadowrun campaign, and was wondering how roll20 handles the game and if you've had any luck finding players.
SR games seem to do okay here.  I'm in one, in the process of hopefully joining another.  As far as Roll20 handling it, so far the game I'm in uses Chummer to handle the character sheet end of things and we roll the dice manually in Roll20.  So, if your dicepool is 8, then /roll 8d6>5 will roll and give you the number of successes.  I'm not sure how well or if the built-in character sheet works. 
Hey there guys.  The platform handles Shadowrun pretty well.  I played a short Shadowrun game here back some time ago, and we used Chummer to create the characters, and I believe one of the sheets allows you to import the JSON data into the sheet and it autopopulates.  You may have to tweak the data after importing a bit, but for the most part, it works pretty well.  That sheet/those sheets should still be active if I recall.  Hope that helps
In addition to the above, I would like to point out that they are likely referring to SR 5th edition.There are no functional pre-generated sheets for prior editions, as far as I know.
Thanks for the feedback - I went and bought a copy of 5th edition shadowrun and will try to get convince some of my D&D players to join.
