Every group is unique, and the current group I GM for... We've done about 7 sessions so far, and it's gone really well. The guys all like it, and they seem to be following the rules and not meta-gaming. But the problem I do have is that they always stop to loot the corpses for spare nuyen, clips, and guns. They take EVERYTHING that isn't bolted down. I've tried to remind them that they're Shadowrunners, not common thieves, but they don't seem to hear me. They just duffel bag everything (usually a couple bags worth), throw it in the back of their van, and return to base with it and start calling Fixers and Contacts to pawn it off or add it to their own stash. I keep thinking (and hinting to them) that this will come back to bite them. But I am unsure of how to go about doing this, or whether it'd just be cheap of me and I should let them do this?

I mean, they'll loot weapons from anyone. Not just the random ganger on the street or at their own safehouse, which I don't mind because they're go-gangers. But when it comes to looting an SMG from a Fuchi Security Officer... I have to think to myself "are you SURE you want to do that?". I'd loot clips and nuyen and grenades... But NEVER the firearm. Short of a Panther Assault Cannon, anyway.

Also, as a side note, long time no see everybody. I see my last big batch of posting here was around end of year 2003... So it's been awhile!

In fact, an entire edition of Shadowrun. Though my group is currently still running SR3.
