Description:
Want to play, but don't want to make a character or spend a lot of time playing a full blown mission? Sit down with a pre-generated character & start rolling the dice.
Some spirit is using the oldest trick in the book: enticing humans to do evil by promising them great reward. All I see is an urban area beneath a hill bordered by green. That could be half the City.
OBJECTIVES; Help Stubblefield retrieve data from his apartment; Get Stubblefield to a safehouse; Repel gang attack.
Description:
MR. JOHNSON’S PITCH
The runners are hired by Jody Stubblefield, a high-level
data analyst at Hildebrandt-Kleinfort-Bernal, one of the
largest banks in the world. He’s made a discovery that has
placed his life in great danger. Strange things have been
happening to him lately. He says he is being followed,
that someone’s been going through his garbage, and his
family is getting strange calls. Jody needs to get to a safe
location and be kept from harm until he can sell what he
has. If he is kept safe, the PCs receive 4 Karma, with a 2
Karma bonus for keeping Stubblefield’s data safe.
OBJECTIVES: Smuggle themselves into Zona Norte in Bogota; Find the weapons cache; Receive payment, survive counter terrorist forces.
Description:
MR. JOHNSON’S PITCH
The runners grab their gear and head to an abandoned
airstrip. They’re met by a winsome female elf and offered
a job to board a plane immediately for Bogota, on the
border of Aztlan and Amazonia. They’ll help Mrs. Johnson
liberate a weapons cache belonging to old friends of
hers. If the runners accept the job, their new employer
introduces herself as Rose Red (see p. 116). She offers 5
Karma for the runners’ help.
OBJECTIVES: Break into the facility; Get control of the swarm; Get the modified data-terminal & the obedient swarm to Mr. Johnson.
Description:
MR. JOHNSON’S PITCH
Mr. Johnson needs a rigger for this one and is willing
to pay 5 Karma to get the job done. He’s after data and
prototypes; an experimental drone signal booster is being
worked on by an underground drone-racing outfit.
A skunkworks of black and gray-market riggers is the
target of tonight’s job, and getting control of a swarm of
light drones is tonight’s mission.
OBJECTIVES: Break into the ACHE. Gain access to basement; Install program code onto nuclear reactor network; Collect data & escape.
Description:
MR. JOHNSON’S PITCH
“My employer, Shiawase Corporation, has made a bid to
purchase the ACHE. As a show of good faith, they have
offered to provide a containment unit around it, to facilitate
renovation without danger to the community. This
dome prevents communication in or out, and has a contained
EMP to shut down any cybernetic threats.
“My employer wants to take inventory of the arcology
and its systems before work begins. Unfortunately,
the UCAS government occupies the underground levels,
where the nuclear reactors are located.
“You will break into the lowest levels, get past the
UCAS soldiers, and install a program code onto the nuclear
reactor network. The program will diagnose and record
relevant info for twenty-four hours. When finished,
collect the data and get out.”
If the runners deliver the data to Mr. Johnson, they
are promised payment of 6 Karma.
OBJECTIVES: Find the person selling the laser; Follow the laser into Kowloon; Defeat ambush & escape.
Description:
MR. JOHNSON’S PITCH
A grizzled ork fixer named William “Bull” MacCallister
looks the runners in the eyes.
“Back in 2056, me and a few notable shadowrunners
were hired to infiltrate the Ares Hong Kong facility
and steal a prototype laser sniping cannon. I normally
wouldn’t take runs that took so much travel, but I had
to pay off an old debt. Unfortunately, because of some
embarrassing events, another shadowrunner team ended
up taking the laser out from underneath us.
“Now, I’d like you to help me settle this old debt. I
want that laser. My Matrix search bots picked up chatter
about someone trying to sell a laser that matches the
one I want, so I’m sending you to a market outside of
Hong Kong, by the walled city of Kowloon.”
Bull offers 7 Karma for this job.
OBJECTIVES: Gain access to Tir na nog; Find & retrieve the Fairy Flag.
Description:
MR. JOHNSON’S PITCH
“Hello, I’m Mr. Johnson. I’d like to hire ye for a retrieval
job—six Karma is in it for you if you succeed. An artifact
known as the Fairy Flag was taken by from Scotland’s
Dunvegan Castle by operatives from Tír na nÓg. You
must sneak into Tír na nÓg, track down the Flag, and
bring it back to me.
“Getting into the Tír isn’t easy, but I can help. Off the
coast of Northern Ireland sits a series of basalt columns
called the Giant’s Causeway. They head toward Scotland,
then disappear into the water. There’s a counterpart off
the Scottish coast.
“Head to the Isle of Staffa, where the Causeway connects
to Scotland. A contact of mine, Green Gretchen,
has an amulet called Fingal’s Ring that can summon a
mystical bridge that completes the path to Tír na nÓg.”
OBJECTIVES: Investigate the attack; Track down the Company Man responsible; Get back the NERPS!
Description:
MR. JOHNSON’S PITCH
“That son of a slitch must pay!” Mr. Johnson’s all worked
up tonight, but that’s what happens when you mess with
a metahuman’s NERPS. A dishonest, hard-working, corporate
shark can only take so much before they snap,
and taking someone’s NERPS is a step too far, even in
this dangerous, dog eat dog, world. Johnson’s corporate
rivals sent company men to attack him and took his
briefcase with all his NERPS in it. That case has to be
recovered, no matter what, and Mr. Johnson will pay 6
Karma to make that happen.
MR. JOHNSON’S PITCH
Mr. Johnson hires the runners for a simple smash and
grab. He represents a local jewelry store that wants its
competition crippled. The runners are hired to break
into Diamond Lux Jewelry and steal as much as possible.
For this simple job, the runners are offered 3 Karma.
