When in doubt, I always try to get some inspiration from action movies since I always immagined Shadowrun as basically the TTRPG version of them. For instance, you could do a “heist montage” where your players make a single test one after the other, and the number of “rounds” is a function of the run’s difficulty. After each roll, you say something like “Echo manages to hack the server, deactivating the doors’ bioscanners, the whole group gets in” without really getting too much into how they did it
That is one of the options, yes.
I’m afraid it’s too unstructured, though.Right now I’m thinking about either using meta-currency for that or something like 8-segment clocks per each day they had before the run.
And I’m curious what other options could be
