I've run over half the missions for SR4 by now. I've had great groups to run through,and we've always had fun. But there are always those little things about missions.

Boxed Text:
- Had a team of runners with no vehicle, and boxed text kept persistently talking about "You drive up."
- I don't mind the opening scene starting with the runners at the meet, but later on you get things like "You knock on the door" of the next place they are going to. No sending astral scouts, no surveillance drones, no listening first?
- I don't know how may times the scene is described and it's only half way in that you get that the team is approaching a a two story building.
- Text always telling runners how poor they are, how desperately they need money, and how they feel about driving around in Aurora.

Runners instantly breaking the mission
- Tunnel Vision, runners can send astral and drone scouts pretty much directly to the final encounter.
- Once of Prevention, the TM sends in a crack sprite and takes over the entire system.
- Twist and Insult, runners split up and half do each path, very entertaining to figure out the encounters.

So what fun things have you had to deal with and adjust on the fly with missions?
