GM Style Sheet
I've seen Shadowrun described as Grim-goof. My runs tend to be lighthearted and silly at times, with a goof take on the dark setting. It's a dark world gone mad here. Expect some amount of goofy shenanigans going on at my table.
I generally expect players at my table to:
- Not walk away from the job at the meet. I will try not to pick characters who might walk at the meet, and will try to make warnings about it, but if your character can not accept the job it creates a serious complication for the entire run.
- Not try and screw over the rest of the team, or seriously disrupt the run.
- Be okay with serious and dark themes. The 6th world is not a pretty place and sometimes bad things happen.
- Accept consequences and respect my decisions. I don't want to argue at my table, and will eject someone from a game if I have to.

GMP
I made a sexy spreadsheet to track all my GMP. It used to be kinda boring but then User:Sulsaries had to go and make a really nice one and I can't let myself be outdone, so I added some bells and whistles and made it really pretty.
|
Calendar
I try and maintain a Google Calendar to keep track of runs in local time so I know if I can actually make them. It occurs to me that anyone viewing the calendar will see it in their local time. You can use it if you like. Heck, subscribe to the thing if you want I don't mind.

Wiki Accomplishments
- Went back through the entirety of Category:Runs to ensure all old AARs had proper SemanticWiki tags.
- Did the above so Template:RunHistory would work for everyone. This template now also adds characters to Category:Active Runners if they have had a run in the past 6 months.
- Got really annoyed at the bloat on contact pages showing unapproved and inactive characters or just not listing active characters, and created Template:ContactPlayerConnections to address that. This template checks Category:Active Runners to automatically include runners who have the contact and had a run in the past 6 months in the list. Yay!
- To make the above work, Template:ContactTable and the nested Template:HasContact were created to ensure everything is tagged properly. With those combined, redundant entries of information were eliminated and I was significantly less irritated by them.
- Created Template:ContactDicepools which is an annoying hack of a solution to the problem but I can't be bothered to make it less ridiculous and hey, it works.
- Created Template:AspectTable and associated templates Template:PositiveAspect and Template:NegativeAspect. These tag aspects properly and display them in a nice standardized table.
- Created Template:GroupContactTable and associated Template:GroupContact to do to group contacts what I did to other contacts.
- Made Template:CategoryTemplate specifically so we can tag Template:Run AAR and Template:Player Character in Category:Templates without the risk of people accidentally adding themselves to Category:Templates when copying the page.
- Speaking of that, cleaned up Category:Templates of cases where that exact thing happened. There were many.
- Stupidly pleased about Property:ActivePlayerContacts. No really, it makes me really happy that this is a thing now and I really can't explain why.
- Just sort of makes generally needlessly pretty pages. Like all this unnecessarily fancy stuff with curved borders and filled background. I also ended up making a thick border gray table my sort of signature in a lot of places.
- I'm really happy with how Shadowhaven Combat Tournament ended up looking.
- Created Template:CDP to help lazy people track their CDP without worrying about forgetting to note it down on any given run.
- Created Template:Age just because I was mildly annoyed that some contacts have been 27 for the past 3 years since they were created. Now we can make them tick up a year automatically every year. Oh, and it works for PC pages, too. So, that's actually useful.
After another wiki frenzy, we ended up with Template:SearchTable, Template:LocationRuns, Template:Location, Template:LocationInfobox, Template:ContactInfobox]], and prolly a few others.
- Basically I hijacked the entire wiki and claimed it as my domain so I could change all the things that were annoying me and nobody stopped me, so I kinda got away with it.
- Well, I got away with it for a while, but then as punishment I was made Editor-at-Large for the Wiki.
- It doesn't really change much, I still do all the same things as before only this time it's expected of me and I also have the official authority to do all the things I previously didn't bother asking permission to do. Which I guess is one way to resolve that.
- Incidentally, if you like the stuff I've done or at the very least find it easy to make use of, please let me know. I can not tell you how much it means to me when someone appreciates this stuff.
- Likewise, I'm always interested in feedback or any way to improve things. I want to help make the wiki easier for everyone to use, and support the creation of helpful tools within the wiki we can make use of.
