I'm going to run a Shadowrun game come this December. However, I have a problem. I've never ran a shadowrun game before and I've never been in one either. I've been in and ran other games such as GURPS, D&D and the D20 systems but my lack of experience is going to hit me unless I do my homework. And since I'm going back to school and work full time in two months I want to have a good portion of it prepared due to lack of time until the appointed time in December when I do the GM'ing thing.
So GM's, players, I need your help. Do you have anything to tell me that I could benefit from, no matter how big or small? A certain way to run a game, how to generate characters quickly, things I should be aware of while running the game, etc. Anything really. I'm great at writing, but the system is just a bit new and foreign to me. Thanks in advance. |
