Try Harlequin's Back, that has lots of ED references. Harlequin calls the Insect Spirits "Invae" and a story in the beginning he summons a Passion of Deception.

LOL, bet you LOVED that module, didn't you Retread??? ;) Actually, I have had to write most of my own modules. That takes a lot of time and effort. So one of these days maybe I'll get the hint and make someone ELSE run a game.

The problem with modules is that players NEVER get into the whole: Tell It To Them Straight parts. Mostly because they railroad you in a particular direction, etc. I like giving my players a free choice to do what they want, even if it's sitting at home eating Nuke'n'Popcorn.

I read the modules just to steal ideas for my own campaigns.

Yeah, I usually find (the only module/campaign I tried to run my runners through was Super Tuesday) that if I steal an idea from a module, as poorly written as it might be, that I can spin that idea into it's own adventure or set of adventures, and work much better for player satisfaction. I mean, who knows your runners better than you do?

Unless you're running a new group, or the same group with totally different characters, who might act completly different or exactly the same as their predecessors.

The modules are better for ideas, which is probably why FASA gave up on them and started producing Tiered books with ideas and plots but no explicit details.

I appreciated the move. I mean, some of the older modules had GREAT plot hooks, but the newer ones, like the novels, sucked rat ass.

I did like Threats 2. Very cool book, with 15 plotlines per section- even internal strife that might require shadowrunners to become involved in thier embroilings.

Well, given that the novels serve the purpose of entertainment before inspiration, that's no surprise, really :^)

For me, It seems that more often than not the PC's tend to be the same, regardless of how diffrent they are suppose to be.

our own personalities show through in roll-playing more than anything else I think. perhaps some hollywood grade actors could pull off the personality switches, or perhaps some of the better GM's here, who have to do multiple personalities every hour inorder to give the PC's some interaction durring a run... but for the most part, my guys all tend to have a technical slant to them.

Stick to the Devil you know.

I know lots of Devils, so I guess that works for me.

Now see, I just knew ABOUT those guys. You must have some really interesting get-togethers. How do you keep the furniture from burning to a crisp with that kind of company???
