I've literally played like one proper session, it was a first taste at a convention.

We did have a very interesting game, though. Our Johnson was some kind of reference to Jersey Shore, which was EXTRA weird since we were in NeoTokyo. He hired us to break into a grid hub in the undercity to destroy some data that he didn't want getting around.

We were short on time (both in and out of game) so we basically skipped the planning phase of the run entirely and just flew by the seat of our pants.

What ended up happening is that my character came up with the idea to lure the security out of the building by faking a shooting on the street outside; my brother's character was the "victim", he was running a shapeshifter so we had him transform into some random and fake a bullet wound, used motor oil from my character's truck as fake blood. Everyone rolled great on their rolls to fake it.... except my brother who was, to quote the GM, "hamming it up a bit." I believe the exact line he used was "Help! Help I've been shot!" in the most awkward, over-the-top tone possible. Didn't work because it turns out the guards were drones on autopilot but it kept them distracted watching out the front windows while the rest of us got inside and disabled the external cameras.

After that it was more or less smooth sailing because the dice gods were on our side. We managed to wipe out four fairly powerful auto turrets in one round, we planted the virus to destroy the data, then turned off the cooling system for good measure so the entire server building burst into flames.

Oh, we also disabled and stole all the guard drones but we ran into some Yaks on the way out. They were PISSED that we were running in their territory without asking permission, but instead of bullshitting them we appologized and turned the drones over as a peace offering.

I think we honestly surprised them by beng sincerely appologetic and willing to pay tribute so they just kind of... let us go.
