You're a mage. You have the power to summon spirits, view, and VISIT, the astral, and can unleash spells from your fingertips. You're a rare commodity, in demand by every megacorporation, regular corp, and, heck, just about any other type of business to one degree or another. You could kick back, have a cushy life, with excellent pay, benefits, and relative safety.

But you, instead, choose to be a Shadowrunner, living from day to day, staying one step ahead of the law, being shot at (And hit!), dealing with sanity-destroying creatures and soul-destroying corruption on a regular basis.

Why?
