I have had an idea kicking around in my head for a while now about a Newsblog similar to one that has been posted on this forum. In it the GM posted news stories related to the events of the runs with comments a la Shadowtalk.
I am thinking of trying to set up a similar kind of thing but with multiple contributors from multiple games. The idea is that the games must share a common location and that the events themselves would not deviate too significantly from Canon events... No invasions of the Tir by the UCAS or whatever. A demon can't take over half of the city. Things that make the Shadowrun world something different from what the vanilla Shadowrun world is would have to be left to just your game.
The idea revolves around the idea that the newsposts themselves would contain some, all and possibly misinformation based on the events in your game. These could then, due to their vanilla nature, be used as adventure seeds for anygame what so ever. Maybe in my game my players were supposed to meet the Vory at the Tacoma docs to get paid and instead were doublecrossed. The result is seven bodies and a lot of mess. The evening news picks up on it stating that there was a Gangland War afoot with comments from Lonestar about impending indictments related to recent organized crime violence... Only part of this is true... As a GM you can pick up on these events and use as an adventure seed that maybe the Vory were ambusing a Yakuza shipment of drugs coming in at the port? Maybe the players are employed by the Vory to be doing the stealing? Maybe you choose to take up the Lonestar interest and substantiate that interest by having the whole thing be part of a long sting operation by the Star? Maybe you don't even use the event but your NPCs can bring it up in conversation with your players? Maybe your NPCs were involved, even tangentially?
Whatever the case, the gameworld can start to come alive in ways that you did not anticipate, could not anticipate, and because you could not anticipate it the result is far more textured and believable.
Anyone interested?
