I was recently reading about someone looking for some downtime tables. Got me thinking, be kinda fun to have some plot hooks develop while you were away from the table. Tables below are quick trial run of an idea. I went with the one good and two varying degrees of bad because well this is shadowrun .....can't be too nice to those players.

Feel free to add your own or recreate the whole thing from scratch, if get some time might make some more.


GOOD 1-2
1. Win cash on scratch off ticket. 2D6x10 nuyen
2. Make a new friend. Late night hookup. Brother/sister deals combat drugs.
3. Find something you think you lost, one random piece of gear. Value not greater then 300 nuyen.
4. Make a new contact. Rating 1/1
5.Fixers calls he's found that piece of restricted gear you've been looking for at cost.
6. Inside info. Just happens to tie into next job falls into your lap.

BAD 3-4
1. Unexpected bill/ticket 2D6x10 nuyen.
2. Girlfriend/boyfriend pissed off and rips you off or trashes your place.
3. Loose something value no greater then 300 nuyen.
4. Piss off a contact loose 1D6 rating points until you can smooth thing over.
5. Fixer calls cops are looking for something he helped you find recently it was used in a major crime.
6. Some bad info you got leads you into a trap.

UGLY 5-6
1. Piece of gear you desperately need is in short supply and costs 1D6x current price.
2. Pissed somebody off and now they've got friends and looking for you.
3. Somebody stole your car, broke into your place and stole your trid or hacked your comm.
4. Former contact becomes an enemy. (Only if already pissed off at you.)
5. Fixer calls tells you he'd leaving town and you should do the same...NOW!
6. The cops are at the door and they have a search warrant.
