I've heard some discussions about whether Deckers are better, or Sammy's
are better.... The truth is that the GM should make a fun game for EVERY
player, and if the GM does his homework, every type of character will
feel like he/she has something to offer... The GM should sit back, and
think:
"If this were a movie, how would I make these characters look cool."

This is a 2 sided process, because the GM should also talk to the
players, and realize their dreams in his own head. Not everyone has to
be a killing machine to be an interesting and fun character. Plus, I
don't see any way of saying that someone armed to the teeth is a *good*
Shadowrunner. I would think that by now, most people would realize that
such characters should not worry about paying for a LIFEstyle. Perhaps
paying for an appropriate coffin type would be more fitting (no pun
intended).

'nuff said, and get back to sleep. ;)
