I've got a new bunch of runners two of which have never even role-played
before this. The first time they made characters it was two SINs and two
SINless. It was everyone's, except for one other person (and myself),
playing SR so I didn't really bring it up. This time however I'm being a
little more realistic...and I got again two SINs and two SINless. One of
the SINners is a rigger/decker. And he really likes to screw people
over...so he latched onto some data I told everyone would be after and he
started playing around. I had people just showing up at his doorstep and I
still don't think he's got it yet. The mess was really bad and he
basically got protection from a corp...even though it was unasked for and
he lost out on a little bit of cash but I was way easy on him. He doesn't
even have a fake id...so I write down every where he goes in his pride and
joy Ford Canadian Bison and write down any place that he might leave behind
physical evidence. They've pretty much stuck to the barrens for now,
making them work their way up, so he's not in trouble yet. But tomorrow
night they'll be heading for a corp in Bellevue that has a Lone Star
contract...so unless he leaves his registered vehicle at home...fat
chance...he might just be seeing lone star officer on his doorstep next time.
