I have been playing SR since first edition. I learned way back then that i hated dealing with deckers. You basicly have to write a whole seperate adventure for the one decker, and on top of that you have to stop the entire group's fun and focus on just that one character off in virtua-land for about 15 minutes of every hour. I always just NPC the Decker and it has been fine up till now.
I have a player that REALLY wants to be a hacker. I tried to dissuade him, but he insisted. Seeing as it's our first game, and we are gaming at his place, I felt I couldn't come out and say no. Anyone have some tips for running the matrix? ick. |
