I need an adventure..., and I need it for this evening Options

[Hyde]

I promised my players that I'll run a game this evening (4 hours from now). And I totally forgot until now...
I need a 3-4 hours adventure, focused mostly on action (they said I ran too many games where they actually had to think before firing) and easily playable (I should not have to read it more than once before beginning the run) :cyber:
Any idea? :D
Thanks ;)

Normally I'd recommend a SR Mission, but the site is down and not available... yet.

None of them are super complex scenarios and can are relatively suitable for any group. But the site is not up, though you can try the wayback machine. You can quite easily run through the scenarios and have the players can just shoot everything.

Try this Wayback SR4 Missions

Not SR4, but you can simply reduce all stats by 2 and split Quickness and Intelligence.

Just use the exact plot of America Ninja 2 without deviation.

Also, you might consider Zero Sum Gain, which isn't designed my excessive violence in mind, but can survive it fairly easily.

I have three on my Shadowrun Resources site. For a pick-up game, I recommend Ping Time.

There are two on my Shadowrun page (first of the links in my sig). Cold Blood is fourth edition, but it's designed as an introductory game so would be a bit weak and low on combat. You can use the general set-up and just stick in some extra opposition. Maybe a rival Shadowrun team running at the same time? Carnival is the other adventure but will probably just result in mass death for any party that attempts to take gun-happy approach to it, though.

This adventure was kindly posted here by a fellow dumpshocker, Aaron Pavao, who wrote it. Very good, and doesn't require much prep time. It's SR4 and has a couple of fully designed, kick ass, NPCs.

A drug-crazed gang attacks the runners at home in an attempt to steal their equipment.

A gang of religious zealots attack the team's magician for being of the wrong religion.

Free spirit(s) on the rampage.

Ghoul tribe on the rampage. Including a ghoul shaman.

Terrorists take a mall, bus, school, ladies' room, apartment building, park, or what-have-you hostage. Some PCs are hostages, some are on the outside trying to rescue their captured friends. The police show up or are on the way to offer complications.

Armed robbers take a retail outlet hostage as a variation on the above.

Full conversion cyborg goes mad, goes on the rampage.

Another shadowrun team needs a diversion in the neighborhood, so their hacker spoofs up information that the PCs are terrorists with a car bomb and a political agenda and gives it to the police. Here comes the SWAT team.

Through an organized crime mix-up, the PCs are surprised to be attacked by a mafia hit squad.

[Zen Shooter01]

Oh, yeah, one more.

A fixer, street gang or pirate crew friendly to the PCs has discovered that a rival gang, crew, shadowrunner or organized crime team will in the next six hours attempt to steal their secret cache of supplies (guns, drugs, vehicles, medical gear, electronics, gold coins, chemtech, whatever). The owner of the cache cannot defend it personally because of insufficient manpower, being out of town, being temporarily incarcerated, or whatever. They contact the PCs to defend it for them.

The cache is hidden in a house, condo, apartment, storage garage, or basement. It has some automated defenses the PCs might trip over - some monowire the owner forgot to warn them about could be fun, or a flashbang grenade. Then of course the thieves show up and shoot it out with the PCs.
