In such situations, Karma is your friend (even if it must be burned permanently).

Or in some cases (mostly involving petty GMing) both.

I've been lucky.  At least Shade'll Initiate so long as she survives the next session or two. Seeing as we're already in the Metaplanes, the GM has agreed it'll count as a Quest.

Yeah... that was kind of a dissapointment, to spend all that time making a character whose main asset was his helicopter (decked out), contacts (plentiful), motorcycles and ability to drive, to have him sold out by the GM, stole his helicopter, gave his motorcycle away to another player, and sent him to CalFree.

Jackass.

*winces* ouch.  That's gotta hurt.  Did you spend much time on a background, as well as the character?

As much time as I spent on any character. It mostly took a lot of time to make him because he was my first real rigger (it usually takes me a character or two to get into an archetype), and I spent every cent of my one million newyen making sure it was a nice chopper (and every money from each of my runs to make it better)

All that, only to have it traded because... I'm not even sure why he did it, although I have heard some rumors of conspiracy (with the only player he let stay in Seattle). Apparently he felt like we were trying to kill his character (by making runs harder), and decided to 'get us back' for it.

:/ Oh well.

*shrug* I suppose in a way it was partially true. I was making the runs harder.
mostly because; as the players get more powerfull, you need to throw bigger things at them to keep it challanging and fun.

aparently he was under the impression that they should all just do 'back to the shack' over and over again.

*Scratches head* where's the fun if you do the same thing over and over?  I've done shack runs, but only with pregenerated characters at cons.  Campaigns are a lot more fun if there's some decent variety.

What I have always found is that having an underlieing "B Plot" works well with a campaign situation. Sure, your PC's go on a lot of indepindent runs, but every 2nd or 3rd game, you throw in some reoccuring theme or ongoing storyline that is purrely chracter-based. That keeps players interested even if you have a drekky runs.
