"I need a team that is open to some less than benevolent work. A small neighborhood concern and a need for vacant properties on the market quickly, as it were. There is a small bar in Northern Touristville called Alfies. We could meet there this evening if you are accepted for the gig. Matrix presence is perfectly acceptable, as are....infected individuals.." -Mrs. K.

You know the drill! Link to your character wiki, let me know if you have not been on a run this month, or if the PC has not been on one this month. Let me know the characters roll and your familiarity, as well as the themes the character typically embodies.

CONTENT: This is a bad neighborhood in the sixth world and could include depictions of drug addiction, sex work, neighborhood upheaval and HMMHV at minimum, and of course, potential violence.

GM Style Sheet: woah cool future


A notification appears on your commlink, a new posting has been added to the ShadowHaven job board:

"This ain't a job but frag it, some of you drekheads need to get out and live a little. SysOps can kiss my hoop if they got an issue 🖕. Throwing a Halloween party at the Daze Monday night, figured I'd extend an invite my favorite bunch of antisocial freaks for hire. Might be a good community building opportunity. Since some of you won't even wipe your hoop without a payday, got $4,000 in dead presidents on the line for whoever wins the costume contest. Judged by yours truly.

I swear to fucking Ghost, anyone who shows up in some drek you bought from Kong-Walmart is getting added to the ban list. DIY or don't bother dressing up.

Bury the hatchet at the door, I ain't in the mood to fix bullet holes in the ceiling before the next acid rain storm."


Da Rules:

There will be no picks for this "run"! Anyone who'd like to join in on the fun is welcome to post in the Play by Post thread once it opens. I'll be posting as I'm able and keeping an eye on things to make sure everything's running smoothly, but the goal is to give an opportunity for RP between PCs. Everything will wrap up 11/1/2024 at roughly 11:59 PM EDT, at which point the winner of the costume contest will be announced.

For anyone wishing to participate in the contest, Alessa P has a strict DIY only rule. To create your costume before the contest, make an Artisan + Intuition [Mental] (6, 1 Hour) Extended Test, applying modifiers from the Build/Repair Table (Core pg. 146) as appropriate. Contact me if you're not sure what modifiers apply. The more net hits you achieve over 6, the more impressive your costume is.

Disguise may be used instead of Artisan at no penalty. Spells such as Fashion and Makeover don't replace the need for actual artistic skill, but will grant a +1 bonus Superior Tools bonus to the extended test for every 2 nets hits achieved when casting the spell. Only a single casting of such a spell maybe be applied to the extended test, and the bonus caps out at +3.

Participating in the contest is not required to join into this "run", but there is a 20¥ door charge for everyone coming down to The Daze for the party.

You entered the tunnels of the ShadowHaven host, residing in the shell corp Blue Suited Joker Consulting. You eventually come to a silver door. Upon opening it, you see a somewhat decrepit room full of trideo games and news feeds. The feeds are constantly pulling corporate news, from just about any corp that they can access.

A fully cloaked figure stands in the room.

Someone is working on something very interesting, think you can it for me?


Optional RP Prompts (Pick none, one or many):

  • How does your PC react to job posting?

  • Has your PC picked up any hobbies lately?

  • Does your PC have a decent sleep schedule?

"Previous contracts are bearing fruit. Now we're looking for three to four promising candidates. Consider this a trial run. You'll all be carrying surveillance gear the whole way through. Failure to record 100% of the contract period will result in failure and termination of contract without pay. Complete and comprehensive debriefing will take place. Understand that this is a contract as a job interview to test both your adherence to guidelines as well as capacity to perform. Success opens route to a highly lucrative contract afterwards. Infosec is mandatory and non-negotiable."

Please respond with:

  • Your character's role, wiki page and summary of their abilities and themes.
  • Whether you're willing to write the AAR.
  • Risks of the run include severe negative qualities, capture and/or interrogation by Aztlan forces as well as potential retaliation against the character's loved ones. Death can be averted by burning Edge, to emphasize existing rules. The run is difficult and leverages all the tools available to op-for. No need to play fair; your enemy won't be doing so.
