so, im just curious about this, what is your favorite type of runner to play? why? just a thread where people can discuss the different archetypes of the game.

Troll-Combat-Monster.
Stupid Silly Fun.

Nobody else will play Trolls usually, and most times they want to be the talky sneaky magicy guys with a rifle or something like that.
So i usually go all out on Body and STR and go close combat and automatic weapons. Or Bow if i am feeling like being a Troll out of Game too.

Yes, we still play SR3.

Anything that lets me roleplay. Consequently, that's just about everything outside of Data-search specialist.

haha, one time we had a troll, (SR4), he had almost maxed str, agi, and bod, he dual wielded assualt rifles lol.

As i said. Stupid-Silly-Fun! ^^

Either a combat specialist (always a Troll because... what else is there for combat?), or a hacker. I do the combat spec when I am feeling like I need to just go kill stuff. I do the hacker mostly and that is because I am a network engineer and I can't get enough computers. Sad, I know, but true.

A windling thief!


Wait, a dwarf anything with a chip on his shoulder about being short.

I, as an avid ork player, resent that lol XD

I play whatever my mood has me create.
The ones I've played in the past year or so, Covert Op's Specialist(Secondary Face), Street Sam, {Decker(hacker)/Rigger} <--- My paraplegic.

My latest fun is my 3 cha minotaur face that can take a licking and keep on...well...talking I suppose. He can kinda shoot, and kinda hit people with things. He's mainly a talker and a brick though. Other fave has been a Face/improvised throwing thingies expert. A troll that go round. Next character I have in my head, should I get the chance to play it, is a minotaur mage.

LOL

For those that don't like the stigma around the ugly troll, the ork is the next best thing. And I have played a few ork characters.

This is no community project, right?

I personally find that i use mainly meat-world characters. Only reason is that magic and matrix rules suck

I generally run gun-bunny cyber guys. That said, my most (in)famous character was an SR3 Albino Elven Mage who always had elementals on standby.

I tend to play Technomancers ( Otaku 2.0 for you old people ), Orks(Gunner/smuggler), or my new fave, Fox Shifter Mystic Adept Infiltrator.

Mage (usually Druid) or Rigger, in that order. Both can fight by proxy, and have high growth potential. I prefer playing Orks for Bod/Str.
