Hoi,

Ive got a problem within my group. Mudane players feel disadvantaged by their magic teammates that can earn money thru enchating reagents and selling em for good money. This doenst happen so often, but imagine a hacker and a streetsam that have to watch how their colleagues from time to time between the runs make more money then in the runs.

The point is that I am not sure how to let the mudane players make some money between the runs. I found a solution for the streetsam, he developed thru his career some nice connections and is now selling/buying weapons. He does it on minimal base, so that he can miss for a few days to be part of a shadowrun, but engage his gunrunner role from time to time.

The problem is my hacker, he wants to create stuff like fake IDs and sell em, or plunder something in the matrix. Does their a char exist, or some rules what a hacker can do inbetween without big Gamemaster interaction? Have to mention that we handle almoste all stuff between the runs on our local forum, that way it cant run out of controll.

Regards.
