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.
OBJECTIVES: Investigate a recent drive-by site; Intercept the go-gang before they wreck a joint; Stop some thugs from their drive-by attack; Find out who's actually responsible for all this.
Description:
MR. JOHNSON’S PITCH There’s been a mobster Cold War in Puyallup for years, but—like always—it’s threatening to heat up. The Kenran- Kai Yakuza and the Gianelli Mafia family have started to escalate their long-simmering feud, and Puyallup’s locals are hoping outside help can nip it in the bud. The elven private investigator, Jimmy Kincaid, has offered a standing favor to anyone who can figure out what’s going on today and smooth all the ruffled feathers. He’s working with PI resources, meaning he’s offering 4 Karma for the runners’ help.
OBJECTIVES: Get into the NeoNET facility; Gain access to Mr. Singh despite his security team; Grab the prototype & get away.
Description:
MR. JOHNSON’S PITCH
This job’s an extraction, plain and simple. Mr. Johnson
wants a prominent researcher to be safely taken from
the grasping hands of a rival corporation (along with his
prototype reflex enhancement research), and is willing
to pay the runners good money to get the job done. After
the researcher—Jeremiah Singh—is clear of his NeoNET
employers, get him to a pre-determined location for the
transfer, and payment of 6 Karma will be made in full.
OBJECTIVES: Find the survey report; Stop the information about the Halloweeners' tunnel from getting out; Alter the report to make the area appear inhospitable.
Description:
MR. JOHNSON’S PITCH
Unfortunately for the Halloweeners, a survey team,
hired by Bellevue mayor Jonathan Blake, discovered the
Halloweeners’ tunnel while scouting the area for a future
Saeder-Krupp facility. The runners are hired by Absinthe,
the Halloweeners’ second-in-command, to track
down the survey team, ensure their silence, and make
sure the survey report mentions nothing of the tunnel.
Absinthe will pay extra if they are able to alter the report
so that Mayor Blake and Saeder-Krupp no longer want to
build anywhere close.
As a street gang Halloweeners are not the richest
organization in the world, but their secret is important
enough that they will pay runners 5 Karma to help them
keep it.
OBJECTIVES: Infiltrate the Light Within; Solidify the fire spirit's power base; Discredit Warwick Gulliver & escape.
Description:
MR. JOHNSON’S PITCH Your fixer hooks you up with an unusual Mr. Johnson— a free fire spirit. The fire spirit forgoes small talk and begins: “The Light Within is a religious group that believes that the Great Light Spirit communes with the world’s chosen few, by which they mean themselves, and grants them prophetic visions and ecstatic worship experiences. Recently, their group has been growing exponentially larger because their deity, that aforementioned Great Light Spirit, has been appearing physically among them. Here’s the thing—the Great Light Spirit is me.
OBJECTIVES: Move the ball & score; Defend your goal at all times; Maimings, knock-outs, & injuries are fine, but any deaths disqualify the offending team. No killing!; Get away from the cops!
Description:
MR. JOHNSON’S PITCH
The major league sport, urban brawl, began as a way for
street gangs to settle their differences with ritualized,
somewhat restrained violence. As a handful of gangs
sold out into cutthroat affairs with chapters all over
the world—criminal enterprises concerned with profit,
rivaling organized crime syndicates—others have backslid,
with smaller outfits concerning themselves with
romanticized notions of respect, community protection,
and loyalty.
Urban brawl as ritualized violence, a sort of
sports-fueled trial of champions, has had a minor
resurgence in recent years among these small-scale
gangs. The Alder Street Avengers are one such small
gang, with a scheduled brawl-bout against their rivals,
Red’s Rhymers, for dominance over half a city block.
The Rhymers tagged over some Avenger graffiti, and
this sort of insult can’t stand!
OBJECTIVES: Relax for once (just kidding!); Role-play & look into what everyone's favorite snacks say about them; Survive the robbery, & try not to spill your tasty beverage.
Description:
THERE’S NO MR. JOHNSON
Food Fight is meant to be a quick, combat-heavy, whirlwind
that you throw the players into as an introductory
adventure (to test out new characters or Anarchy conversions),
or that you add to an existing Shadowrun, hitting
them when their armor is chewed up, they’re beat down,
and they’re least expecting it.
