Hey all. Tossing something to you all to get your ideas and possible
solutions.
The group I'm currently running has finally got a decker. We're having
fun getting into the new rules, and making sure everyone understands
enough that they can all participate in some way so they don't get bored
while we do Matrix sequences during game time. Unfortunately, I'm seeing
a disturbing trend in which the majority of the group doesn't want the
decker to come with them on-site when they have to access an independant
system. They instead have the habit of ripping out servers and
mainframes and carrying them out (3 characters with 7+ strength) for the
decker to go over later. Now where's the fun in that? ;-)
How much do we know about Shadowrun mainframes, and what can be damaged
when someone pulls the plug abruptly and rips the bugger out of it's
cubby hole? I want to have a reason for them not to be ripping them out
every run, and I'm thinking that having a chance to lose that
all-important information they came for is reason enough. Anyone come
across similar circumstances?
