Well I tend ta stick high quality personel in my games, but you can just
divide my numbers by some number (say 2 or 3) to get a rate you find more
suitable. at say 3-4 karma per run and 2 or 3 runs a month an average
runner would get 72 to 144 karma per year ... the security guard's /
mage's karma earnings don't seem *that* bad ...maybe 1/2 that would be
more apropriate, but no less (IMO), like I said it was OTOMH (Off The Top
Of My Head [Ok, so I left off a 'T'] )
