I'm running with a group of players and I want to make it a memorable game. I'm starting them out with standard shadowrun missions, they are currently being employed by Aztechnology but don't know it. I don't know what the current overall plot for the game shall be, but I have a few ideas, and I know I want to make it a memorable game. Here are the basic explanations of the ideas
1) Have the group's shaman go toxic. Simple concept, the shaman is an npc and a useful ally, but over time he would slowly be corrupted and turn toxic. 2) All out corp war. This is stolen from cyberpunk, but imagine an all corp war. Similar to World War I where business alliances drag more and more corps onto the battlefield on one side or the other. 3) Alternative Arcology scenario. I don't want to run the standard Renraku Arcology scare, because everybody has read it. So I would use the idea from here 4) Some bug scenario |
