As most posters here can guess, I run a small group of fellow Australians through the gritty, steaming, acid-rain etched cities of the UCAS not just because of the in-depth colour and splatbooks, but because I dislike having them reroll new characters each session.

And as I'm a dinosaur (and think rolling 24 dice is NOT streamlining a system) I'll be using SR3, probably set, oh, 2050.

What I would like, apart from the rather flavourless "guard an outpost from paracritters and angry natives" stuff, are some brief examples of other Oz runs that didn't involve Antivehicular Lasers and/or railguns, no TPK's, easy on the cheese, not too mirrorshade and above all, sensitively nuanced to the discerning bullshit detector we seem to drag along with our cultural cringe.

If anyone has something resembling the plea for help above, do tell:)

Thank you,
-Tir
