I'm new to this site, but have been playing Shadowrun since it came out way back when. Now after all these years with numerous characters and campaigns under my belt I figured I'd played it all. But then I found this forum...

Reading through these posts I have read about characters of such power levels that I can not really comprehend how they even qualify as being part of the "Shadowrun" universe, let alone what type of Shadowrun adventures they would undertake. Magic of 20? Double digit initiation? Flying across the pacific (by magic)? breaking the sound barrier? Etc...

But you know, to each his own, if everybodys having fun then that's great, but I do have a question for those of you that are playing or have played these types of high powered games in the past.

What do you do? What are your adventures like? Do you even do missions any more? or do you just do what you want? What's the "biggest" things you've done? Killed any Great Dragons? Travel through time? Gone to Mars?

Stories, examples, etc... Would be greatly welcome.
