Ok, I'm starting in a few weeks, max 2 month, a runners group of 4 to 6 players that never played Shadowrun. I'm going with 3rd edition because that's the one I know and love most.

My question now : In many RPG, the way it goes is with a campaign, something grandiose with fireworks and dragon killing at the end. In Shadowrun, it's mostly run, job, etc. So, I'm asking GM or even players here. In your Shadowrun game, do you play only mission to mission or the missions are all part of a bigger campaign, running into the background and culminating at tne end of like 2-3 years of gameplay ?

I ask that because I'm not sure the way to go. Shadowrun tend to be mostly about the run, but I think creating a campaign is very possible and very intriguing with the fluff Shadow is all about. At the same time, the fluff is a 'obstacle because of is complexity ...

So, how do you play Shadowrun ?
