[QUOTE="GMMichael, post: 6277526, member: 6685730"] [MENTION=177]Umbran[/MENTION]: I realize it's a little out of the Shadowrun cannon, but if (when) I were running a future game, I'd have the two worlds: real and cyber. And most people in the real world would have head jacks at birth, ala The Matrix. So in the real world, the decker is the nerdy guy, and you have the other PCs. But some missions (Runs?) require the whole party to enter the Matrix, where the decker becomes the Paladin (or what have you) and the other PCs do a flip-flop, becoming the nerds. Everyone sticks together, but the tables get turned. [MENTION=2518]Derren[/MENTION]: your link's destination expired. But I find it fascinating that you get one mind-set from D&D players, and another from Shadowrun players. I've seen lots of D&Ditis, where the players sort of wait around for the plot to throw itself at their feet. My best tool, so far, is the NPC sidekick who interjects GM-like wisdom, but in a game-world sort of way. [/QUOTE]
