Declining Runs
It goes without saying but I'd ultimately like people to go on the runs I post. I try to both select characters and format the run post to prevent characters from turning down the job. However, sometimes a character just doesn't fit. In those situations, I try to let the player swap out for a character that does fit or walk away in a way that makes sense for the context.
Derailing A Run
While I will almost always avoid players and characters who enter a run with the intention of causing chaos and derailing it, if the players seek to go about the run in a bizarre way or even backstab the Johnson then I'm all for it. There's no set way to do a certain thing and I go in knowing something I'd never expect will probably happen. Just be patient, if things get too crazy I may need to call a break to go over rules or set up an un-exptected combat. And remember, actions have consequences.
Consequence and Failure
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 place 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.
The Sixth World
Shadowrun can be very goofy at times. It has some inherent silliness to a lot of the lore. I like that stuff a lot. You can have some fun, light-hearted times in the setting that I try to embrace.
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?
