It certainly didn't hurt that the deputized player had a better intuitive understanding of the Matrix rules than the GM. | |

You might have to break into combat time to parse it out but it gives everyone something. | |
| Jul 25, 2015 at 13:33 | comment | added | Antrix | I like the idea of involving the other players and reducing the overhead for the GM and I will keep that in mind. Interestingly we do not have too much problems with combat situations even though hackers don't gel to well with combat. The problem is primarily in the preparation for the run. Hacking the security system, adding new access codes, changing the timetable for the security forces and things like that cause problems since that often is a lot of hacking but also a viable approach that I don't want to take away. | |
