There would undoubtedly be a number of "unwritten rules" regarding the Do's and Don'ts of Shadowrunning, particularly among the runners themselves, or even client/operative relations. I am curious as to the thoughts of this forum. Basically, like a thieves or pirates code. Basically the stuff that separates the posers from the professionals. If the unwritten rules of Shadowrunning Etiquette were to be written, what would they be?
Just a couple that we use in our campaign that might or might not be used in most campaigns, just to throw a couple of examples out, might be: * Runners don't take hits out on other Runners. * Runners don't take jobs and then offer the package to other interested parties for more money. Naturally, even these rules could be debated, depending on the nature of the gaming group. |
