Ok, I had a bit of an unpleasant night last night, or rather a rather pleasant dream turned into an unpleasant nightmare (which is why this college student was awake at 8:30 on a Sunday morning). So, in revenge for robbing me of another few hours of sleep, I'm going to make use of my dreams and adapt them to Shadowrun, and I would like some opinions on the in-universe feasibility:

1. (This one is from before I fell asleep last night, BTW) The runners are hired to retrieve an artifact from a research lab somewhere and bring it to Mr. Johnson. However, the artifact is from the Fourth World, and the researchers have been a little too enthusiastic in their experimentation, and something goes wrong when the runners make off with it--every few minutes, they teleport randomly and switch positions. So suddenly the street sam will be where the face was, the face will be where the hacker was, the hacker will be where the mage was, and the mage will be where the street sam was, and the pattern and timing of the shifts, of who switches with who and when, keeps changing.

I don't know if Earthdawn let characters teleport, but if it did, this would be an interesting complication for a high level team.

2. (this one is from a dream) An accident or maybe just an act of Awakened nature actually physically shifts an entire university campus to the metaplanes. This would be bad normally, but the way it works out, quite a few of the students, professors and others went with it, and they only have limited food and air. Also along for the ride is the significant other/crush of one of the runners.

3. An Awakened serial killer/blood mage with an eye towards girls. He's also on the campus when it gets shifted (or might even be the one responsible).

And that, as the saying goes, is all that's fit to print. (and I assume that I don't need to spell out what woke me up, do I?)
