Greetings,
I've played SR on and off for more years than I care to recall. I always had a big problem with Deckers. I understand how important decking is to the SR universe and to shadowrunning in general, but I really hate the way a decker is essentially one character playing a solo campaign in the midst of my regular campaign. Decking stops the entire flow while 1 person plays and everyone else stares up at the ceiling, with every "oh and I wanna..." I can hear the rest of the players teeth slowly grinding. As such I've always used the following rule. No deckers or all deckers. I always use NPC deckers as decking is essentially an information source and an invaluable assistance when running in general. How does everyone else handle this? I'm curious. Sunday |
