Ya know TC, that whole attitude is a bit strange, but then again we are
talking about the differences in GM approach I think. Sometimes, especially
when the group is really flexible, the ex-Wildcat, the ex-Seal and mage from
Tir getting together can be a really shit-kicking game in and unto itself.
Oh, and by the way, I don't know what kind of stats your examples would
have, but they are -MOST- definitely not the average shadowrunner according
to the examples you've given.
