That thumbs up at the end had me in stitches <| sep |> Wouldn ' t that defeat the point of yellowboards ? <| sep |> I never played in their game , but heard stories from a friend who ran the game for a couple of years . He ranked famous Shadowrunners by their rep on a BBS so his players could see their standing compared to other shadowrunners . He just basically pulled some names out of a hat and they almost never ran into those other groups , the GM just shifted the positions in the ranking based on his own whims . His PCs hated those other shadowrunners with a fiery passion . <| sep |> Why waste all that time to kill a protagonist , and I think MGSV had a better answer . It ' s cheesy , but it ' s a part of your title ?
