Since everyone is sending in their favorite last words, I thought
that I would share the best ways to screw-up a Shadowrun. All have
been thouroughly playtested by our Shadowrun team.
Top Ten Ways to Remain (In)conspicuous on a Shadowrun.--
"Hey, Wolvie, what does 'inconspicuous' mean?"
--Troll Phys Ad
"It means more than conspicous."
--Wolvie, Street Samurai
10. Assault kitchen crew during restaurant survailence.
9. Attemp to buy drugs while reconnoitering target area.
8. Have above drug dealer detonate exploding briefcase.
7. Steal cars outside of target building.
6. Threaten taxi driver with pistol while screaming "I don't need a
doctor."
5. Drop flaming helicopter on target site.
4. Buy rocket launcher and use on cops (and later SWAT team) that
attempt to give you speeding ticket.
3. Have a whole bunch of well armed guys follow you into the target area.
2. Turn entire recon area into a full blown war zone.
1. Schedule impromptu nuclear test for recon area.
Memebers of our party have managed to do all of these except for
number one in the past three missions. (And I'm sure they will get
around to number one, before the year is out.) Subtle these guys are
not.

10) Shoot down a passing Yellowjacket during security work.
9) Sneak around a suburban household with machine guns in full heavy armour.
Then, set off 10kg of C-12 explosives during the resulting disturbance.
8) Torture a completely innocent squatter with a blender until he "confesses"
that he has been spying on them for a corporation.
7) Steal a Jackrabbit and cut off the roof so the troll can fit in. Then
play T-ball with passing pedestrian's heads.
6) Try to steal an NightRaven attack helicopter from a military base to get
to the target area on time.
5) Try to bring a Panther assault cannon through airport security.
4) Attack a police car, then shoot at the panzer that shows up as
backup for the now dead cops.
3) Assassinate the king of England.
2) Use an assault cannon to blow open an unlocked door.
1) Rail-gun a major city district from orbit.
All of these events occurred in the various Shadowrun games that I have played
and GMed in (although the last one was done to the players, not by them).

I have been there for all for all of these happenings. The rules are
right. You can't predict what the PC's are going to do.

Hmm...let's see; it's been a while since I played Shadowrun, but I remember a fe
w
big ones....
*) Drop troop-carrying helicopters (in the middle of a battle) by casting Sleep
on the pilot.
*) Do the same to a cop car, making it crash into the front of a jeweler's
shop. A minute or so later, while the cops are dead/unconscious/dazed and
the shop is being looted by a half-dozen bums, blow up the whole thing with
x amount of C-12. As a FLIRT.
*) Tie your EMPLOYER to a chair, threatening with torture if he won't tell the
whole story. Then, when he resists, break his fingers one by one. Then heal
them with magic. Then break them again. Repeat until he breaks down. And
this was before we were even paid....
*) Dump a prisoner into a bathtub, applying mild electric shocks, and urinating
and defecating in the water. Then casting Petrify (or whatever) on him,
smashing him into little bits, and flushing him down the toilet.
*) Getting attacked at one of the PCs' home, we found that the house was
surrounded by over 20 NPCs with automatic weapons and explosives. This was
when our DECKER got in a lucky shot and blew up all of the NPCs' explosive
missiles, killing most NPCs and ruining the house in the process. We all
survived, and the PC whose house got shredded later moved to a bunker.
Can't seem to remember any more really interesting incidents....but hot damn, we
sure did have a wild time!

The group that I run with has done alot of stupid things like that befor
e. We decided to name the group STOMPING ELEPHANTS INC. it fits our group per
fectly.
On one run we got into the building through the roof. We payed special c
are to all the security outside. We got to the roof without being seen, but o
nce we got inside we completely forgot about things like cameras. Just let me
you it was not a nice run.
Although we did survive the run.
