Bad Moon Rising in the East Now Available! Options

[Adam]

In Bad Moon Rising in the East, a team of shadowrunners is hired to track down the source of a new drug shipping into Hong Kong. Directly connected to the Ghost Cartels campaign, the team of six Caracas natives are thrust into a criminal underworld far from their home. With few contacts to turn to, they may find themselves deeply involved in a vicious underworld conflict.

This 22-page scenario was used for the Gen Con 2008 Shadowrun tournament. While it may be used with other characters, the included team of shadowrunners is fully fleshed out with contacts, backgrounds, and motivations. This complete package allows for a night or two of Shadowrun with little prep work for the gamemaster or the players.

Bad Moon Rising in the East totals 37 pages, with 1 cover/credits page, 21 pages of scenario, 3 pages with 1 map each, and 12 pages of pregenerated characters: Covert Ops, Face, Hacker, Melee Artist, Pistol Adept, Shaman.

"a team of shadowrunners are hired" - is hired, neh?

"This 22-page scenario scenario " - one less: scenario

"the included team of shadowrunners are fully fleshed" - probably just "included shadowrunners" or "is fully fleshed" ?

Problems with the BCC, blame me. Problems with the interior editing, blame someone else. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

[wusselpompf]

why out of all available old covers did you have to pick this ugly piece of crap? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rotate.gif)

sry, but I always hated the cover-art of the SR1/2-GM-screen and now it comes back haunting me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohplease.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohplease.gif)

but great to see some earl geier-art again (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

anyway, I'll start reading now...

Because there's a series of adventures and they're going to each use a piece of it.

This is what I have been looking for since 4th Edition came out. I think its fantastic. The layout is readable. The NPC stats and condition monitors are blocked off on relevant pages. if it had Karma rewards it would be an honest to Rod adventure. This is A grade work.

I would be willing to buy one of these a month at this price should you have more that are this good.

shadowrunner is
shadowrunners are

are is very much correct for a plural. Do not try to correct grammar if you don't have a firm grasp on the language (aka above high-school [American] education - high schools here suck balls).

[Medicineman]

it is still one Team that is hired : So the Team of Shadowrunners is hired should be correct

In British English, "a team of shadowrunners are" would be correct. In American English, it wouldn't.

So We're right nyahhhh (IMG:style_emoticons/default/spin.gif)

Oh no he didn't!

I'll see what we can do to accommodate that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

And, as a minor spoiler, that formatting is what we'll be using in the next series of Missions scenarios.

My grasp is firm, thank you: like GI Joe Kung-Fu Grip.

While technically you can be correct, "is" is prefixed by shadowrunners, & thus what it is referencing. It is incorrect for the plural, & should be "are". To reference the team, the sentence should be worded "A shadowrunner team is".

Because of its wording, you cannot clearly tell if it is "a team of shadowrunners" or a team of shadowrunners", making everything potentially incorrect. The wording does suggest that team & shadowrunners are two separate entities.

Edit: Yet another reason why I hate this damn language. I should really learn another.

Are you talking about the second or first instance of "team of shadowrunners"? Clearly, in the first sentence, team is the subject, and the prepositional phrase "of shadowrunners" is acting as an adjective describing what type of team. Taking a look at the second sentence, we can conclude that the author intended to expound upon the shadowrunners, but constructed a poor sentence to do so, which is why I suggested an alternate fix, rather than just altering the to be verb.

Ahh, the SR2 GM screen cover. I love that piece of art. I pretty much love all SR2 art come to think of it.

Don't learn German ,its very Difficult. I'm glad its my Mother's tongue.
Maybe Portuguese/Brazilian ?It's got a pleasant sound and Roman languages are usually easier

[Draco18s]

In British English, "a team of shadowrunners are" would be correct. In American English, it wouldn't.

"The corporation are"
"The company are"
"The team are"
"The group are"

All correct in British English.

[BookWyrm]

I'll see if I can bag this later.

[pbangarth]

"The corporation are"
"The company are"
"The team are"
"The group are"

All correct in British English.

In British English, one may refer to a group as a plurality. In American English, one may not. We who live in Canada and are exposed to both forms regularly find this duality a source of psychosis. In a typically Canadian attempt to find a third way, we come up with "the corporation arse".
