having a guiding hand would allow them to get right into the run without any of the lengthy setup stuff but i don't want to deprive them of agency
but do they even want that agency?
it would also make runs a lot easier to prep because we'd basically be in medias res for the start of every run

actually now i'm thinking about how you could adapt frozen synapse to shadowrun...

i suppose one of the bigger issues is that when it goes to combat players die real quick
the game is less about outgun than out manuver
but that requires pretty well constructed encounters
which is
not something I'm good at

death in shadowrun would be more tolerable if character creation wasn't a four hour slog

and not in a good way like traveller or fate

see i tend to pull pretty heavily for rules light systems and campaigns
and yet one of our best campaigns has been d&d with straight combat all the way through with custom artifacts and bosses
and the setting of shadowrun is so cool
i really want to make it work

theres so many weird little systems i want to try too but getting people for those is impossible
