I sm starting a game soon, and I am going to GM Shadowrun. None of the other players have ever played SR before, thay hadn't even heard of it, besides seeing the SR Duels figures. After I explained it to them, they begged me to run it, so we had a character-making session Friday. It was a hoot!

We have.....
A japanese phys-ad ninja. A Real Ultimate Power type. Black PJ's and all. Except his prefered MA is Judo, 'cause that's what his player knows.

A super-pretty elven "Social Assasin" with 6 one-shot pistols that he pulls and drops, pulls and drops. I talked him out of the Soul Caliber chainsword thingy. I couldn't convice him that a small multi-shot weapon was more acceptable for an assasin, so I let it be.

A street Samurai with a one shot-missile laincher in each of his Cyberarms. loaded with white phosphorous, of course. I had to make rules for these guys, but the player is REALLY excited. He also carries an autocannon and lacks any other offensive skills whatsoever.

I had to bend alot of rules to let this motley group function, be they were genuinly having such a good time that I let them run with it. The characters are over the top, but not overpowered.

I think the first adventure will be a Resident Evil style slash-fest. These guys will dig it. After a few sessions, I will let them remake their guys and start over. I bet it will be fun, or at least funny.
