Something that the old Shadowrun adventures always had were some press clippings that were different depending on how successfully the runners concluded the adventure.
But I think the press and the media have more potential. In a completely unrelated campaign I have discovered that there is little that is more fun than watching the reaction of the PCs as they see how the press have misportrayed their latest (mis)adventure. In Shadowrun, it could be even worse - the media could portray their latest run accurately. So, have anyone of you used reporters and journalists in your campaign - and put them on the trail of the runners? Things could really get tense if they report on their runs - no runner appreciates seeing his secrets in the mass media - but simply killing the offending reporter might not always be the smartest approach... |
