[SR] An adventure/NPC idea, input? "The Rain-dar Tower&
Posted: Tue Nov 23, 2004 5:08 am
The run in short: Torrential rain has fallen in Seatle for 3 days, almost non-stop. A steriotypical aging redneck with a touch of conspiracy nut and more cash than someone in his position should have hires the runners to destroy the KBMB news-station's "rain dar" tower in an effort to stop the downpour. (He's convinced that the radar tower makes rain, they just aim it somewhere and it will "rain dar"
In a pretty simple B&E run the PC's fend off or evade corp security, blow up the tower and get the hell out of there. Within, 2 hours the rain has stoped and the clouds are disapating. Thanking them heartily Mr Johnson pays them and the players are left thinking that the old man knows much more about "what's really going on" than they originaly thought.
The kicker they will probably never know about is that the rain clearing up after their job is done is a complete coincidence. But I plan to use this NPC on occasion for similarely strange runs that don't always have the intended result.
This idea needs a lot more fleshing out, any advice/ideas would be appreciated. I'll have a better version up later.
