I was always of the opinion that if it came down to shooting people in the face, something had gone very wrong. Violence was almost always the worst choice in my experience (especially when I was the GM).

Shadowrun has always been a game about low-lifes. High-Tech and Low-Lifes, as the rather nice SR2 art book indicates. I've likened Shadowrun to movies such as Strange Days and Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels, but really in the end the game is what the GM and players make of it.

I don’t know if I would say “completely wrong” but I did sort of throw you a couple of dud runs. Well, runs where you were going to look a bit silly before the end no matter what.

On the other hand the group never seemed all that interested in making their own runs and was a little too content to wait for me to hand them something.

You know what I will miss? Mom, she was the best fixer ever. I had so much fun playing the little old lady with a million connections.

We always did the “Something will go Completely Wrong” part right… we just tended to shoot people in the armor… when they spent money on damn armor.. instead of blowing it all on an extra nice gun! but I digress. To sum up. Shooting in face: bad. Screwing up royally: um… fun! Getting paid: good!
