My runners are extreemyl violent, nasty, but they have their own code
of honour (thou shalt not frag with a member of the party, lest their
next character take a suspicious dislike to you ;-) )
Read the back of the game, Shadowrunners are corporate mercs, the
job description ought to say "heroe's don't apply". unfortunately,
most of the SR runs are hero-types only, so you tend to get this
fuzzy image of the heroic shadowrunner. Uh-Uh, they do it for the money.
Mind you, that doesn;t mean they have to do stupid things like
launch HER's into urban area's, ethat's just asking for a SWAT
head shot or a paassing yellowjacket to return fire from well
outside man-portable missile range.
Being out and out _evil_ is bad for your business and reputation,
if the playders continue to do it, then start a session by asking
them what they do! No one wants to hire them any more, so they
hjave to make their own jobs, or get their rep back. If nothing else,
it'll be a good test of you improvisation skills (heck, half of my
games are impro'd on the fly, the players just take these wierd angles
at things ;-)).
If they persist, take no prisoners ;-)
Mind you, that;s not to say that being a good-guy is not bad for your
bank-balance, it is.... there just has to be a middle ground.
