I am see this sport being popular among corporate types

Hello, Mr. Rasputin

Any run you to walk away from is a good run. For these fellows, this was a good run. It probably would have been better if they had done it at night.

Not really run inspiring, but this one is just fun.

I can see how #3 could be turned into a really wild run. What if the PC's were hired to pursue a van in which the "client" may be kidnapped, only to find out they were there simply to further the Jhonson's fantasy?

Actually that IS a run in the short runs in the New Seattle sourcebook...basically a Shadowrunner wannabe hires real shadowrunners to rescue his secretary (of course you aren't told this in advance)....and insists on helping (it's part of the pay, and everything is "fake" until crap starts happening that he didn't "arrange")

I ran that on my group, it was funny to see their expression as the guy did this John Woo thing with blanks in his gun when the opponents were using real bullets...

Actually, that's perfect cover if you're getting pulled over for a semi-willing extraction.

Shit, what were we thinking last week? We had a hot woman and a (awakened) fox in the van... Should have just shocked the cops into letting us pass. ;)

The fox was male, though. Shojo's wrath would have destroyed all of Chicago.

Mama Fox certainly has a lot to explain to her cubs when she tells them how little shapeshifters are made.

Uh, yeah. Since this also includes, "other inspiring news stories" I guess this is as good a place to post as any.

Paper Says Edible Meat Can be Grown in a Lab on Industrial Scale

There is a link to a PDF of the paper here.

No, damnit, too fast.

If they do it now, then Big D won't be able to post the prize, and they won't get to collect! :)

How come that "news" site doesn't give any references or credit any authors in their little blurbs. While they are diverting to read I question the validity of some. ;)
