[QUOTE="delphonso, post: 7837091, member: 6892015"] Netrunner syndrome is a real concern. In Shadowrun and any game, I allow metagaming here. The PC with Arcane Eye can be muttering what it sees and the other PCs can be chiming in to investigate parts. I do the same in the Matrix in SR, even though it's against the rules. I find it is a lot more interesting for everyone. In other cases where there's a combat happening and the PCs are protecting the runner, it's easy to keep it interesting. For spells, I encourage my PCs to know their spells well through flavoring.
