When teh Matrix and Astral Space Colide, Idea for campain Options

[Shaudes29]

An idea for a SR campan. (Note many of the ideas presented in this thead will be 1000% contrary to SR3 cannon so bare with me)

The idea is some supper powerfull hermetic magical group is fedup with how unregulated magic is, and develops a plane to take conotrol of magic.(Sounds insane doesent it. Probly is)



Time Line:

Aztechnologi discovers the 1st magicaly active otaku!!

Anchent script is found belived to be from atlants
(conatins info on how atlantic ccontroled magic)

Magic group begins devloping plane to control magic

NEW supper powerfull computers devlop using organic technology.

RUMOR that UV hosts all use this technology.

Research commences on creating magically active organic computers

Organic Magically (OM) active computer systems are perfected and get installed in 13 mainframes across the globe. (they include artifacts that have been recovered form ancient times)(thay draw thear power from the astral plane and are always on. Magic Rating augmenst system rating)

Magic group begins ritual that causes the Matrix, and astral space to connect.
(BIG FUBAR)

Ritual succeeds-- group becomes all powerful all other magic's loose power
Partial success--- group gains power as other magic's wain (For every 2 of the main frames that is installed and the ritual conducted on,the world wide magic is reduced by 1, and magicuser that are tuned to the change are not efected by teh reduction and gain 1 magic point)(efects main be limited to regins in the vacinity of the main frames 1/13 of the world)

Ritual OPPS because runners break it up at critical moment (ARMAGEDDON)
Time for a post apocalypse earth. (posably like RIFTS ™ )


I have never run a SR game before. My biggest problem is how to work out the interring and mystery. How to get them involved with out them knowing whats going until close to the end. Will they save the world? Mess it all up, or just slow down the success?

Idea is that the places that otaku go for there resonance is were the matrix and astral plane are close together. The strength of thought weakening and drawing them together. The matrix relay is another plane of existence. The scientists just can believe that as a possibility.

Locations for the main frames woudl be in magicaly active areas with hi backgroud count.
Lay Line nexuses posably.

Run ideas

Steal this artifact
Find this artifact
Extract this person
Kill this person
Investigate this phenomenon
etc...

plus the unrelated runs

Plz help me work this out. I think i could be realy fun to run and play if i can get it all worked out.
