So I recently started running a shadowrun game for the first time and I thought I would pick your brains on how to make a game challenging for all types of players. Currently I have a hacker, magician, adept, and samurai gun psycho. I'm finding that when I make things challenging for one, the others kind of sit there and watch. Just looking for ideas.
