Just last week I had the fortune to actually play a session of shadowrun as a Human Ninja with reptilian based cyber parts (Kid stealth legs with inverted knees, Toe Razors, Balance tail, Tongue lash weapon etc).
The session ground to a painful halt as the run criteria was laid on the table. Simply to go into a Rich girl's house party, kidnap her and then drop her off at a designated drop point. The Ideas that were being thrown out were tremendous and horrifying.
The Rigger wanted to fly in with his Chinook style Heli and 'Sky hook' the chick out of the building (a la The Dark Knight).
The Merc wanted to fire tear gas grenades into the party from the Rigger's A-team style transporter then conduct a search for the mark who will be incapacitated.
These are the only ones i can remember probably because the other plans were so absurd they defied reasoning and were subsequently blocked out of my mind for my protection.
All this time the GM (Gods bless him) was trying so hard to get the message across that A- this is probably best dealt with as a stealth mission and B- Its a Rich Girl's party meaning she probably invited everyone and their cat and you could probably crash it i.e. just turn up.
In the end it took Me and the Group's other stealth character, Dwarf rendition of Walker Texas Ranger, to say 'We're just going to the party'.
Thankfully in the end it was as simple as the GM laid it out to be. We got in there without a hitch (barring me being questioned and replying with the worst Asian accent i could 'Ah goin to pahtee'), found the chick hooked up to a chip deck, Tazed her, Cloaked her (with the aid of the group's shaman) and got outta there sharpish.
Later we find out that we were caught on CCTV and with curses to the GM, The REAL plot begins!
