Hi, I am a fairly new to GMing the world to shadowrun. However somehow, things don't feel quite right. We started with 2 players, it was pretty good. Then 2 new players wished to join. Ok sounds good so far. I give him the book and the excel spreadsheet from this wonderful forum, I tell themselves to knock themselves out. The next week the 2 chars arrive, I give them the run to infiltrate a facility retrieve, a weaken cyberzombie. They inflitrate the facility, using mostly kill anything that moves but stealthily tactic. Now for the part where things get ugly, they peak into the next room. Oh lookie a room with 16 researchers, 12 turrets, and 6 guards. Guess what the runners do? They throw in 6 high explosive grenades. BOOM! Nothing remains expect.... Er... one really lucky researcher, who is in shock. The support mage stabilizes and heals him. The PCs then began torturing the researcher then kill him. an unarmed researcher. The rest of the mission goes quite well, however near the end, when they are running away via motorcycles, our dwarf with the logic of 1 (yes the new PCs seem to be min maxers) decides its a good idea to donate 15 pounds of commerical explosives in the warehouse. 10 inocents die who live newby. So its the end of the game, guess what all players get 15 notoriety for the act of slaughter, and the dwarf gets 25. Is it just me, or do I find this ridiculous? So I have decided to most likely retribution is at hand, and advice? I personally would not like this to turn into a slaughter innocents campaign.
