So my current game is based around the National Geographic magazine. Some background:
Foundering in a world where hitech was edging out lowtech the NG was one of the few print publications left that didn't just serve a niche market, although that situation was rapidly detoriating. When a mysterious backer began dumping money into the magazine they began modernizing, building up an amazingly supportive online fan base, and working out deals with various entities-like the Atlantean's, and eventually DIMR-to get the scoop.
After Dunkelzahn died the mysterious backer was revealed to be the Great Dragon, who obviously had his fingers in all sorts of pies. A new Managing Editor and Corporate President was brought in to run the magazine. Thomas Holden was a very successful investment banker, and broker. Independently wealthy, business savy and owing no one his loyalty he was perfect for the NG. An altruist by nature he also fit with the plan Dunkelzahn had for the magazine.
The player characters are as follows: a photographer who isn't any kind of a shadowrunner, a smuggler who borders on being a shadowrunner, but isn't, a physad who works as a bodyguard, and a cameraman for the photgrapher.
I have the my next run planned out: A photgraphy assignment that takes them to Norway to photgraph a rare awakened form of crab that is a deadly predator, and unloved by the locals for the fish it kills, and the trouble it makes. But it may be endangered so the NG wants to document it. The Norwegian government wants them to be careful, since local politics rely heavily on the fishing industry, and protecting these thinsg would be a rough political move. (A lot like putting devil rats in a petting zoo.)
While on assignment they stumble across a plot by a Winternight cell to use a chemical agent on a Maersk arcology. Will they stop it? Just report it to the authorities? Will they even realize what they saw? Or will the bad guys off them for it?
So what I am looking for is adventures ideas like this, or not like this I guess that involve National Geographic "type stuff". (Loose definition right?)
For a hint of what we're running look here.
Input, comments, whatever is welcomed.
