GM Style

My focus is on a good story, roleplay, and giving your characters room to present themselves and act. I like to keep OOC to a minimum so we can maintain strong immersion.

That said, I tend to run things in a Black Trenchcoat style. I don’t actively limit shadowrunners in how they approach a situation. However, there are some boundaries regarding what we play out and what will simply be stated. This includes torture, over-the-top drug and sex scenes.

Runners are Badass

Even when doing Black Trenchcoat, Runners are badass and most NPCs aren't. You want to take out the gang? Sure, any decent sam can take them. Your rigger thinks parking his car right in the entrance of that bank? Sure. Good or fun ideas are always welcome. On the other hand, the runners are not on the top of the food chain. There are some people you don't mess with or better not get caught doing so. I try to make sure, what you are getting into.

Picking the Team

I try to pick a team that has the ability with the skills at hand to resolve the situation in multiple playstyles. I favor characters which are roleplay wise fun and add flavor. I also prefer mundane characters because of the rarity of magic in the world. Usually at least one magic specialist and a face will be picked.

Declining the job

Don't. If you sign up, you want to join for the run.

Derailing the Run

If the group has the wish that the run will develope into another direction, I'm fine with that. But everyone needs to agree, otherwise we will need to step back and talk about it.

Assumed Competence

Runners are professionals - so they know a lot of not appearing on the radar. That's said, you cannot have assumed competence in skills you don't have. Your runner will always handle his commlink right when it comes to your SIN for example, but without a point in Computers he won't rebooting his commlink all the time because of marks.
