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.

Had to steal the last known un opened glass bottle of classic coke once.
Ed Simons
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.



Kagetenshi
Cows are also delicious and moist.

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.
Kagetenshi
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.

Resist the post-cyberpunk blight!

I got my players to steal some "Genetic data" which turn out to be an Arabian stallion.

Straight up of Night City Stories for those that know.

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.

How about flying half way around the world to steal a stuffed toy bear? Or driving half way across North America to move a coffee table one inch to the left?

Don't know about that, but we have had midget amputee porn.

As for weirdest thing...high priced Johnson sent our team out to get a Happy Meal from a the nearest fast food chain and deliver it to him half way across Seattle...before it got cold.

Teh Awesome. You just did a run for someone who's manipulating alternate history, or wierd destiny stunts. Probably a dragon and/or someone time travelling from the Eight World.

Couch...

intended as a gift to a poor octogenarian lady living in an upper floor apartment in a building without an elevator in the barrens... couch was accessorized with a dead hooker, which caused all sorts of problems.

ZOMG That's awesome! I never realized the kick-ass potential in the word "accessorize" before. You sir, have changed my life, and the lives of those who have to put up with me.

The cake is always a lie.

So far the odd ball one was genetic material. They never figured out that it means 'Ritual sample'. It has yet to bite them.

Similar to Franks pating moving I had my players break into a salaryman condo and rearrange his furniture just so, also one of the shrubs in his garden.

We tried, but got freaked out by the guy with a prosthetic jaw eating raw cattle.

Dunno if this qualifies for this thread, but I've had PC's try and steal the ball from an Urban Brawl game... in progress.

I thought it was a real jaw, but he was just able to dislocate it. Damn, I need to go back and read that again. Or, alternatively, Warren Ellis could get off his ass and make more.

My group should go on a Shadowrun to force some crazy shaman to channel his dead spirit and finish up the current story arc. This makes perfect sense to me, and still belongs vaguely in this thread.

...in a segment of Survival of the Fittest we ended up being flown to Tokyo to basically do the latter in an office. The nutty thing about it all, we were well compensated for the act.

...Dragons do as Dragons do I guess.

in shadowrun, especially in asia, feng shui is a powerfull thing . . read it up in year of the comet for example . . geomancy is not much more than feng shui on a LARGE scale *g* and of course there's also that angle:"i've been here and you did not have the power to do anything about it . . i can come and go as i please . . think about that one a bit before trying to meddle in my business again . ."
Big D and Lofwyrs Brother(whose name i just can't seem to memoryze for some reason) i think had something similar going on with their fruit cakes delivered to the home in use at that moment *g*
