Ok, I have some friends that want to play Shadowrun. I've always been a player and never a GM for Shadowrun, so this concept is new to me.
I just wanted some advice (some of my general ideas are from the botched and fun games i've played, taking what i learned from those GMs and using or ignoring things) Couple questions: -As for the players' characters, do you think its better to have the players meet ahead of time to discuss their characters? or find making up a random run around what they show up with would be more fun? -Do you think starting the characters off knowing each other and running a while makes it easier than pulling them all together for the first time ever and having a room full of paranoid players? those are the only real questions i can think of right now, but any tips any seasoned GMs would have to pass on would be GREAT. *breaks out notepad for note taking* |
