I've been GMing in general for a while but shadowhaven was my first experience with shadowrun. I fell in love with the setting quickly (despite its NUMEROUS flaws) and here we are.

			Shadowruns to me are building a puzzle. You set up all the little pieces and the moving parts, all the NPCs and potential characters interactions and all the bad people with guns and magic and you roll em all together and make a nice puzzle. Then you hand the puzzle to the players and let them go nuts.

			Generally, I think my runs are more light-hearted across the board. Shadowrun can be very goofy at times. It has some inherent silliness to a lot of the lore and even some of the mechanics. I like that stuff a lot. You can have some fun, light-hearted times in the setting that I naturally end up embracing.

			However, the setting also has a whole lot more than that. Intrigue and secrets, horror and mayhem all sifts throughout the setting and deserves respect. As much as I love pink mohawk silliness, I love those realms just as much.

			Essentially, stuff can be multiple things. Shadowrun juggles a lot of different themes and tones and I try to be open to all of them as a GM. Otherwise, I wouldn't be doing my job, would I?

If the runners go completely against the fold and twist the entire situation on its head, I'm still all for it.

You~~ can ~~have some fun, light-hearted times in the setting that I try~~ to ~~embrace~~.		I really like shadowrun's setting. From the eldritch horrors to the cyberhands and from the Null Node to the Stuffer Shacks. There's a lot of moving pieces and a lot of hooks you can use to dig into players.

	~~However~~, the ~~setting also has a whole lot~~ more ~~than~~ that. ~~Intrigue and secrets~~, ~~horror and mayhem all sifts throughout~~ the ~~setting~~ and ~~deserves respect~~. ~~As much as I love pink mohawk silliness~~, ~~I love those realms~~ just ~~as much~~.		One of the most interesting things to me about the world, though, is the more mundane aspects. In world with dragons that rule over half the globe and spiritual entities from other realms, it's hard being an average Joe. Hell, even the matrix, the upscaled internet we built to make out lives easier is now filled with "resonance" and "proto-sapients". Seeing how the realms of normal life, one thats not too dissimilar from today in a lot of ways, intersects with the fantastical in interesting and sometimes tragic ways is just gold to me.

	One of the more interesting things about shadowrun is that enemies play with similar hands. Going in hot without a plan? You might pull it off but people have seen you there and will be wary next time, if you can pull it off at all. Failure comes hand in hand with success, without the risk being present the victories aren't won. The 6th world is a dangerous ~~threat~~ and going in unaware and without a plan can lead to the odds quickly being stacked against you. That being said, I never go into anything with the idea that the players should fail. I'm here to provide a good time, sometimes a challenging one, not kill you and your dog.

	While this is a bit of an un-popular view of the world of shadowrun, I think my favorite aspect of shadowrun is its inherent ridiculousness. This view is only exacerbated by the fact I live in Seattle in its current dystopian existence. And let's face it, Shadowrun can be ~~a little~~ goofy at times. ~~Those are my favorite times. I generally prefer more lighthearted runs with~~ a ~~more casual tone and an emphasis on the parts~~ of the ~~world~~ I ~~enjoy~~. ~~Expect trolls. However~~, ~~THIS IS NOT A GOLDEN RULE. While my standard is~~ light-hearted, I also ~~enjoy DMing intrigue~~ and horror, ~~though less often~~. I try ~~not~~ to be a ~~one trick pony~~. ~~The runs with vastly different tones~~ I ~~will mark as such so no one gets confused.~~		Shadowrun can be very goofy at times.
