Hi,

Got a new SR5 game starting up and wanted to have a suggested cheap costing runner's kit of basic equipment that every runner should have but contains the boring fiddly items that newer players probably won't find all that exciting to look at.

Let the players pick their guns and mods, drones and decks etc. as those are the cool flashy stuff that they'll pay attention to. Stuff like Licenses, Data chips, maybe ammo, etc. they are less likely to think about or want to spend time considering.

The last time we tried to play Shadowrun was in SR4A and we didnt get past character creation as after 2 hours of people trying to deal with equipment half the group threw up their hands.

So, can people get a basic runner kit built for <Y5k?

If not Y5k how close to that can you get?

I was thinking something like
SIN of some sort...probably worryingly low rating
5x rating 2 licences
cheap commlink
cheap accomodation
survival bag
survival knife
5 datachips/credsticks
cheap pistol (or taser)
50 regular ammo (or equivalent cost taser ammo)
cheap armour

What am I missing? Is there something superflous in there? What would your characters never be without?

Edit: Essentially imagine you have taken priority E resources and spent no karma for extra money. How would you equip your character?
