62: Never overplan, keep it simple stupid - See 61.

Old Man Jones would disagree with you. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Then again, when asked, "Wait, you have a plan for if a dragon just randomly shows up?" He said, "Yes."

He's also fond of the quote, "I dislike the term 'Plan B'. It implies I only have 26 of them."

{over the radio}
Hardison: Goin' to Plan B.
Nate: Technically, that's Plan G.
Hardison: How many plans you got? Is there a Plan M?
Nate: Yeah. Hardison dies in Plan M.
Eliot: I like Plan M.

Hardison somehow survives Plan M, when they do have to pull it out, BTW.

They obviously didn't do it right then.

#63: Few plans survive contact with your allies. None of those that do will survive contact with the enemy.
#64: Never say your plan aloud. Murphy is listening.

#67: The biggest gun in the world is useless if not present on the battlefield.
#68: The best armour in the world can still be penetrated with a big enough gun. The only way to be certain of not getting hurt is not getting hit.

#76: Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet. - Gen. James Mattis
#77: Victory does not always rest with the big guns: but, if we rest in front of them we shall be lost.

#78 If a gutter for living space and a bottle for company is the extent of your means then you are a hobo not a Shadowrunner.
#79 In planing, guns, and vehicles you are often best served choosing the ones with the least number of moving parts that still gets the job done.

I think you meant
"Get a Red Dot sight and put it on the top of your gun. Just as a good as a laser sight in terms of being backup to a smartlink, without being an emission source."

#82: There are two ways to survive the Shadows; have power on par with a mega-corp or be anonymous. It's the rare runner who manages the first one, so be anonymous if you want to live.

#84: Always have a Plan C, when Plan B falls apart. Plan D should be a bug-out plan, as everything else has fallen apart. Know when to stick, know when to run.

character and plot development is interesting but the runs and their abilities become a bit over the top.
