	2. Character approval is by Player and GM Committee. Per the game setup of Serenity, where in characters must be a viable "crew" with a useful smattering of skills. I'm going to use this because Shadowrunners are hired for their variable skills and abilities, based on what is useful in their jobs and to create working team that, hopefully, won't get killed. It will, also, help represent the Fixer arranging a team that they think should be able to accomplish the task at hand. ~~rthe~~ GM and players are allowed to veto another players character no questions asked. If someone says it goes, it goes.		2. Character approval is by Player and GM Committee. Per the game setup of Serenity, where in characters must be a viable "crew" with a useful smattering of skills.

	3. If you have the ability to, please pregen a couple of characters. If not, at least have a couple ideas in mind. Making characters for this game can take all night, if not longer. So, if you have a book, please have something to show for it before the game. This also helps me get a sense of your play style, makes rule #2 go more smoothly, and allows you to build a character who lacks any serious holes from last minute builds.		3.

			" The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.

	Shadowrun is a setting where the well prepared and adaptable get paid and maybe retire, and the impatient and rash just get retired. So you've got to excercise a little healthy caution backed by an ability to keep an eye on the prize and a just the right amount of bravado. An ace in the hole is always good, too. So, in order to put together a working group that's going to get the job done, and protect their fixer's good name, I implement the following "house rules":		Shadowrun is a setting where the well prepared and adaptable get paid and maybe retire, and the impatient and rash just get retired.

	~~was Halley's. Most minor SURGE's are accepted as "normal" these days, but Changelings do bear the brunt~~ of ~~most racist hate, along with orks and trolls. If you want to be a Changeling, just ask and I'll see what I can do. And keep it minor, most SURGE is pretty low key~~.)
