New GM, New to SR4, SR4 GM DocWagon Campaign Options

[tr0n]

So, I'm new to SR4, though I'm very familiar with SR3 and beyond. I've never ran Shadowrun of any version and have put myself out there to my group to pull off a great SR4 game. I'm taking my time in development and reading all that I can absorb from the books, the Sixth World Wiki, Dumpshock, and various other sites.

I'm aiming for a DocWagon campaign to start and ease everyone into the game, as well as develop characters that aren't cardboard cutouts. Any thoughts on that would be greatly appreciated.

I've also generated a few house rules for character creation I'd like some thoughts on:

• Build Point limits have been removed from Attributes, Nuyen, & Qualities.
• Only 1 Technomancer/Hacker type allowed.
• Only 1 Magician and 1 Adept allowed.
• All characters must have a SIN, criminal is ok with GM clearance.
• Max Availability is 8. (F) is not allowed, ® is ok with permits, criminal SINners cannot have ®.
• A minimum of 1/4 of allocated BP for skills must be spent on non-combat related skills. 2(4) Medicine/First Aid/Paramedic is highly encouraged.

Thoughts?
