Burnout - 501 Shadowrun Ideas
« on: October 18, 2007, 11:17:28 AM »

Well this is now my second try at posting this.  I timed out the first time.  Anyway this is from Blackjack's Shadowrun Page.  I'm not even sure if the site still exists, I didn't even bother to check. I printed this document on September 30, 1996, the day it was posted.  In addition to the ideas I also have several Random Tables (i.e. Random Allergy, Random Cyberdeck Part Table, Random Shadowruns, etc). Just a side note to how big of a nerd I am, I keep these in plastic protectors!

Ideas 1-25

01. Hallowed Ground: Take a sample of earth from spiritual lands located deep within an enchanted forest.

11. Just For You: Deliver an exploding package to the four year old daughter of a corporate official.

12. Secret Corner: Shut down the Secret Corner bar which is supposedly an establishment for drug dealers.

13. In Your Eyes: A runner must locate the creator of an exploding cyber eye and find a way to reverse it's effects. [I'm under the assumption the eye is implanted in the runner looking for it.]

14. Taken: Rescue a young girl from the clutches of a psychotic, murderous go gang.

15. Balloon Man: Stop the infamous Balloon Man before he gives a cyanide filled balloon to another child.

16. Dear God: Close the gates to a supposed "Highway to Heaven" for a group of Satanists.

17. Stone Roses: Travel to a castle inhabited by a Medusa and destroy it.

18. Fools Gold: Get revenge upon a small company who sold the wrong group of tough guys land filled with fools gold.

19. Time To Return: Rescue a group of commandos from the forest where they are believed to be held captive.

20. Wasteland: Journey through a nuclear blasted wasteland in search of a radioactive orb.

21. Shut Your Mouth: Frighten the hell out of a Yakuza boss and explain that he should not mess with the mob.

22. Killing Moon: Capture a man who kills only by the light of a full moon.

23. Orange Crush: Defeat the Orange Crush battle brawl team in a tournament.

24. 10 Past 8: Destroy a corporate warehouse at exactly ten past eight p.m.

25. Gold Canyon: Steal a large gold stone from an Indian cave and keep half the profits.
