82. You make your GM commit suicide and thus have no game to play in.

83. You make your gaming group commit suicide and thus have no one to play with.

84. You make the company who owns the IP voluntarily sell it to you for a song and thus your character is now the one god above all others.

Actually, that's started to become a running trope of my group's quotes.

"I don't always Shadowrun, but when I do, it's SoyKaff."

Reminds me of the Ask Ancient History thread. You should make an Ask Mungo thread. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Being hired by your own employees sounds like a great way to launder money. Being hired to run against your own companies, though... Well, that could be awkward. If you check to see if you own that company, turn the Run down, and then show up to foil the other team when they come, sooner or later people are going to start working out that you're connected to those companies. On the other hand, if you take the run and just do nothing or fake a failure, your rep will suffer.

For best results, I suggest completing the Run, but doing so in a way which will minimize harm and disruption to your own operations.

It is quite useful actually. You can now take measures to screw over the Johnson who screws you over. You will know which exec is hiring runners for a run that is for the good of your company and hiring runners for a run for his own ends and using the company as a cover. And you can withhold funding, I assume, as the boss, you'd be the one who approves the budget.

And you don't have to actually show up to foil the other team. You can let the other team succeed but now you know for whom and what they have done.

yup, your company just hires you to steal the flow diagnostics from the arcology sewer system, and the poop-2-pee ratios for the last two decades.

anyways back on track

89. DocWagon just pay you to stay home, due to the amount of Delta ware and prototypes you are packing, they can't afford your maintenance costs

I was playing Old Man Jones, a 250-ish karma optimized mage. At a table with mostly newbie players. I did not want to overwhem the new folks with Jones's massive dice pools, so he stayed behind on the safari bus sipping drinks with the Johnson while his "personal assistant" ally spirit went with the group to do the run.

The other players had fun, I got to get a feel for the spirit's capabilities (it was fairly new), Old Man Jones got to have his nap, everyone won. Except the poor blokes the team murdered horribly to earn their paychecks.

92. When your team magician makes a breakthrough in new magical theory that revolutionizes the wizarding world.
93. When one of your dependents is hired to do a run and begins making their own mythical status.
94. When your group runs into another group during a run and the other group recognizes your character "by appearance alone" and declares "thought you retired, ya know, for being a Prime and all." (Happened other night actually, beware infamy).
95. Someone in the group decides that Hestaby needs money and tries to offer her a position as team Mage ... And is only stopped because the rest of group,doesn't want to tap their getaway fund or kids college funds.

96. Hestaby decides that out of all the ways she could make money, offering her services to your team, voluntarily, on a straight cut-of-the-loot basis, is the best and most satisfying way she can earn.

99. You're getting too old for this shit.
100. You have to purchase more dice just to roll for your character.
101. The GM's smiling.
102. You start "boasting" before a run to the Johnson. Trying to bet them extra money that you can complete the run while nude or do it without any weapons, drones, or magic.
