I think I need to give them fewer, but more epic combats, and definitely more role-playing opportunities. (I know, gamers role-playing. What an idea!)<\/p>\n<p>We definitely need new character sheets, though, and backup copies of the characters too. I&#8217;ve given up resurrecting the file with the old TeeFive Shadowrun four-page character dossier I constructed, and I&#8217;m rebuilding it from the hardcopy. This means of course that it&#8217;s not coming out quite the same, as I&#8217;m using Quark instead of PageMaker, and not quite the same fonts. But I did the first page and it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elfie.org\/~mikail\/binaries\/SR2-charsheet-p1.jpg\" target=\"_new\">looks pretty good so far<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, that was probably the best night of GMing I&#8217;ve had in half a decade.
