I tend to keep mages down to a bare minimum, since I don't tend to
run very magic oriented games, and get slightly annoyed when the mage
tends to kick way too much arse for my tastes. However, I wonder why
you keep out deckers. I like 'em myself. As Adam once said,
"Information is Power" (or something to that effect, anyway). Course, I
might've just answered my own question. I agree on keeping the riggers
down, though.

My game tends to be more magic intensive. Out of 5-7 players, 4-5 of
them are magicians: 1-2 Phys adepts, 1-2 shaman, the rest are mages. I
guess my group finds them more fun to play. (Although metahumans are
surprisingly rare for my PCs.) The thing is, most of their runs lately
have been finding and stopping large trucks (read Bergens) and
destroying their cargo. Mage vs. Bergen? Who do you think usually
wins? (Keep in mind that the Bergens are usually carrying magical
backup in the form of at least one grade 1-2 initiate.)

Back to lurking,
Zeb
