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.

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.) |

(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.) |
