A quote from TVtropes.org's Shadowrun page has given me an idea for a Shadowrun one-shot. I'd use pregen characters, probably base the run on the Sense/Net job from Neuromancer in terms of needing to use creative tactics to infiltrate a high-security building, and give a strict time limit (maybe the titular 600 seconds - 200 combat turns - maybe less). If the players don't exfiltrate with the objective within the time limit, cut to black and the sound of gunfire: the PCs are dead.
Good idea? Horrible idea? Eldritch abomination in text form? Feedback, please. |
