I said 'I'. I, as in Andre' (and in character) have never,
currently am not and hopefully shall never play a magically
orientated character. ie I am not the GM. I am one of those players
that am not suited to playing magically based characters in shadowrun.
I generally play (and have played nothing else for the last 6 odd
years) a rather magicophobic, vampiophobic and partially insane dwarf
(with a stereotypical love of weapons esp. greandes).
I (Andre' also refered to as Odd occationally) also write down and
keep all our houserules, timelines etc.
Btw in case anyone tries to read into this I do not (in sotto voco)
hate,loathe,dispise mages and or magic in any way. In fact in our
system is extremely magic heavy (our GM loves the concept of Magic)
If you wanted to play Shadowrun without magic try Cyberpunk (Yuk!;)
