A middle aged Wuxing wageslave named Lee is prone to BTL abuse and is arrested by the Star one night for rowdy behaviour. When his best friend comes to pick him up from the police station, Lee is abducted. Lee finds himself locked in a room with no windows and a locked door, where they feed him the same felafel rolls every day. To prevent him going mad, his captors leave a trid set in his room and use manipulation spells and ASIST reprogramming on him. He watches a lot of trideo, and trains his body, realising that he is a physical adept with strong close combat abilities and ability to store all the information he absorbs from the trideo. After 15 years he is let out of the room, given an actioneer business suit and a commlink full of nuyen. He is tasked with tracking down the man who ordered his capture and framed him for the murder of his wife, to find out why.

Once the fight is over, the losers accuse the winners of cheating and insist even more on the homosexuality of the winners. Finally, all the dead are resurrected and transported back to their former starting place and the cycle continues.

Counterstrike.

There's a lot of Shadowrun-esque stuff if you look at it. Genetic experimentation, toxic shamans, SURGE victims, spirits... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

A young and lowly wageslave falls in love with a his almost as lowly line manager, a girl of startling beauty. Determined to make something of himself to provide her with a better life, he leaves for another corporation where there are many ground level opportunities. Tragically, he is killed en route and when word arrives to his fianceé, she plunges into a deep despair. However, in the meantime, the powerful and evil CEO of the corp has noticed the beautiful girl working in his company and decides to marry her himself. This makes him very popular with the rank and file across the company and wedding plans proceed. But just a month before the wedding, the bride to be is kidnapped by three runners - a troll, a sword-wielding physical adept (with a weapon focus made by his father) and a dwarf with a cerebral booster. They plan to kill her, framing a rival corp for the deed, but are pursued and foiled by a mysterious man.

I will stop there as I think it should already be easy. But suffice to say that the rest of the story contains a jewish hermetic magician with a novacoke Jazz addiction (the drug, not the music), some very terrifying Devil Rats and numerous revelations.

I am seriously tempted to run this for my players and see if any of them catch on. The only thing that stops me is the risk to life and limb if they catch on. ; ) : )

Just make them give you a chocolate coated mircle pill knasser.

Princess Bride ?

Inconceivable!

Two physads from an underground religious magical tradition are requisitioned to "negotiate" with a AA size corp currently trying to strong-arm a smaller competitor and its young female CEO. They barely escape one death trap before ending up in the middle of the corp's private army, sent out to bring an forceful end to things, with them the winner. The pair rescue the CEO (and one dummy of a BTL addict) and escape once again, though soon the private jet they escape in is forced to land in the desert for repairs.

While there they meet a young dronomancer...
