Played and DMed.
Had my first and best SR character (much beloved by the rest of the party) die because the GM refused to bend the rules a bit to account for an ambulance saving my character on time. No matter how much the entire group would plead, he said "I can't do anything! It's in the book!". So out goes Juan Jesus Rodriguez, shadowrunning mage, and in comes an endless line of lackluster characters meant to replace a good one...
And all because I rolled badly.
Best thing I did with JJ was stand toe-to-toe with an NPC Mage. The GM expected me to enter a spell duel with the NPC, but I drew forth my machinegun and blasted the bastich off the sky! HA!
