So what's the weirdest or oddest thing that you as the GM have set a team or as a team have been hired to do? For mine I think it would have to be a spot of light grave robbing. Short version is that the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria hired the team to break into the St. Mark's Basilica in Venice, recover the remains of Saint Mark and bring them back to Alexandria for reburial. Apparently they were still a bit miffed about that whole episode back in 828 when a bunch of Italian sailors stole and ran off to Venice with them.

The PCs had to steal a 100 kg abstract stone sculpture and deliver it intact.

Cake is never a lie. Only your soul can be untrue.

A cow.
For proof that a natural foods company was using gene-engineered animals in their "All Natural" product line. |

I hate "good guy" runs. They make me nervous. I feel like I'll get bad karma "working for the man" and not keeping it real.

Amen, brother! Every run that does not contribute to tearing down the social order and ripping it to pieces is a run wasted. Every run that bolsters the social order is an abomination, a sin of the worst kind.

Once had the team hired to move a painting from one room in a building to another room in the same building.

We had a thread about what happened when you did that, didn't we? Something about turning into a drake. |

Not sure that it's all that strange, but I gave a group the objective of babysitting a rich programmer that wanted to play shadowrunner for a day once.
