Yes, I know, but those guys are fun :)

Somehow I seem to recognize the name.. ;)

I'm pretty divided into a hardcore style and a more easy going, relaxed
running. I'd like to enforce the first one, but, after 5 hours of playing,
everyone is in tears for too much laughing, it's difficult to stop. I could
play Paranoia, but Shadowrun is better in mechanics and background.

After all, when a female player told me that she couldn't sleep the night
after one hardcore session (scare the players! SCARE the players!)...
uhm... I felt proud of myself. :)
