After the cool memories people have brought up in my other thread, I wondered what people's worst moments (in terms of gaming quality) were in SR.

For me, Prime Runners was an abberation I wish I'd never bought. The two South African characters (Jonty Geldenhuys and Kepler Malan) were named after cricketers with really obscure names in South Africa, but obviously the writer thought they were typical. McBean was Howling Coyote without the gravitas. Tyrell Gates was silly.

And then Year of the Comet. It's hard enough persuading some roleplayers to play a sci-fi game with elves and orcs. Throw in SURGE and you've gone OTT. I like the idea of Halley's Comet doing weird stuff, but not that weird.
