Wanted to talk about the ways that runners can make side money, since the runs themselves often barely pay for themself.

Ways I can think of offhand:
1. The oricalchum :nuyen: printing press.
2. Harvesting organs/cyberware from people you kill along the way.
3. Taking what you can carry along the way (things like unrelated paydata on matrix runs, gear from people you knock out/kill, looting buildings you break into)


So, what are some other ways of getting extra cash that players can use, and what do GM's think about these ways. (Don't bring up the survival knife thing, pls pls pls)
