Introductory Adventure (Cold Blood), New Goodies at My Site Options

[knasser]

Hi,

This might be of interest to some of you here. I took the time to write up a very short adventure. There are a few holes still to fill in, but I thought I might as well post it. It's geared toward starting characters and is not particularly complex, being basically a straightforward run. However, it might do as an emergency mission when you're put on the spot and need to run something small without interfering with the general campaign, or else could be canabalised for ideas, maps, etc.

Anyway, I take the time for this sort of stuff as much for feedback as for contributing to the community, so any comments or corrections are welcome.

My site is here and the direct download is here.

-K.

EDIT: And thanks to those who provided me with the Shiawase logo. ;)

Love the "What Would a Samurai Do?" graphics.

Yeah I saw that too. That was great.

I thought the adventure was very thorough, especially the facility. Great for a B&E team. Good cause you need a bit more than just dice, need to think through it. I also liked the motivation. much better than "our competitor has this. We want it." Would be interesting to see what different groups would do to cover the objective of the run, assuming they were detected.

It's definetely the little details and twists that make it more than your average B&E job.

I liked the metatypes page too BTW.

Small mistake, the Johnson is listed as six essense and yet he has a datajack. Technically it should be 5.9 essense.

Well, we just played through "Cold Blood." and had a blast (literally).

Essentially, after the meet with Johnson, they tried to hack their way into the computer system, and managed to get Security access on the office node. After doing some research there, they found out whose blood sample they were switching out; after that, it was a matter of some simple Matrix searching to find out who their Johnson was, which raised some eyebrows.

While they were waiting for the afternoon shift to end, the black ops specialist infiltrated in close enough that the hacker could bounce through his commlink and hack into the security node, and managed to gain security access there via the use of edge. After that, it was simply a matter of editing the camera feeds and monitoring the locations of the guards when they infiltrated the medical building and replaced the blood sample.

As for the sabotage cover, the hacker has demo, but the black ops doesn't, so the black ops provided sniper cover, after unlocking the door into the power transformers, for the hacker while he placed an entire kilo of rating 10 foam on the transformers.

As they drove off, the hacker, laughing manically, pressed the remote detonator button.

BOOOM!

I told them that they saw a mushroom cloud rising behind them as the facility went dark, and they could hear the klaxons start to howl as they drove off.

Later, they gave the blood sample (after having promised to the Johnson to destroy it, but neglecting to specify when) to a street doc contact of theirs and asked him to analyze it; later that afternoon, he commed them and told them whoever that blood belonged to, they were midway into transforming into a ghoul and that they needed to be careful around that person.

This looks like a fun adventure. I'm going to save it for the future...

Thanks for posting it knasser.
