I'm starting a Shadowrun campaign in a few weeks and I wanted to know how much do runners get paid for an average run? All of us are new to the game. I've only played a handful of times, and the last was at Gencon 2010. I really love the setting and talking about it has gotten some folks in my regular Pathfinder RPG game wanting to give it a try. Trouble is, there is nowhere close enough to us where we can go to play. So, I've been elected to run a campaign. I'm quite nervous and have a lot of questions, but thought I would start out with this.

How do you decide how much the Johnson offers for a run? I'm sure the price goes up with the amount of danger, but lets just say a standard data swipe. Sneak in, steal the info, sneak out. What should the players earn for that? How about an extraction run? Or a smuggling run across the border? How do you vets set the payout for your runs?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'd like to ask a few other questions here as well if someone does not mind helping a new GM out. Thanks a lot!
