[BornKrazi]

I was reading through a couple threads and decided to make a new one with this idea.  I hear people talking about various types of campaigning.  I have piled away in my "Shadowrun Files" a campaign for a SIS officer working out of FedPol.  It's from way back during 2nd edition, but is easily covertable to 3rd edition.  Unfortunately I haven't caught up on 4th edition rules, but I'd be willing to post it if anyone is interested in it.  It's quite lengthy...but the idea is worthwhile if you have a good group that is looking for a change.

Just let me know.

<Edit: By any chance is anyone getting ready to run a PBP 3rd edition game? I'm itchy to get back in the action>

[kv]

Yes and yes. I'd love to see the idea, even if I just steal liberally from it to write my own stuff. And we're trying to get another PBP game going, but we're lacking for players.

You would probably have bnetter luck taking it into 3rd editon at this point, Krazi. I don't know anyone RL who plays 4th edition.

Well that's good to hear...I don't feel so far behind then.  And KV  I'll gladly post it here on the boards, just give me a few to dig it out.

(Okay guys I'm gonna paraphrase this cuz it's 10 pages and most of it is just background on what exactly SIS is.)

SR ALTERNATE CAMPAIGH IDEA:
FEDPOL: SPECIAL INVESTIGATIVE SERVICES (SIS)

SIS is the shadow asset of FedPol.  It limits its operations to legal work, the members are police officers.  Assignments may include investigations, raids or infiltration of groups such as: shadowrunners, militias, terrorist organizations, gangs, organized crime syndicates, and others.  SIS may make quasi-legal raids on crops, where necessary to maintain the law.

SIS is semi-antonymous from the rest of FedPol and maintains its own records.  SIS maintains records links to the rest of FedPol (including filing standard forms) where appropriate.  The Captain of SIS has the authority to (and budget for) conductiong operations independent of FedPol and without their authorization or knowledge.

FACILITIES
SIS operates out of a separate facility which is unlisted and unmarked.  It's location isn't even common knowledge to most officers.  SIS has unmarked vehicles of which could range from scooters to Blitzens to jackrabbits to americars to westwinds to cargo vans to bison to citymasters and panzers...

[BornKrazi]

...SIS has its own helicopter (unmarked but armed, capable of troop transport & repelling) and drones of several types.

SIS has a hermetic library assigned to it (on chip) and magically active SIS officers have their own magical group.

SIS has access to plant info and records into gov't databases such as Dept of Motor Vehicles and tax databases.  This is for the placement of undercover operatives and undercover identities.  SIS's chief decker handles this and is often used by other divisions of FedPol.

SIS has an unmarked moblie command van or small truck.  It contains a dispatcher, rigger remote, intel computers and intelligence devices.  As well as supplies and first aid equipment.

PERSONNEL
Captain, 2 Lieutenants, several (about 3) squads.  5 dispatcher who also serve as secretary/data pushers. 2 helicopter pilots, 1 pilot doubles as the officer in charge of SIS evidence catalogs and storage. 1 Chief decker.
SQUADS
Sergeant, 1 or 2 Corporals, several officers (usually cybered or physads), usually at least one of each are: mage, decker, rigger.
DISPATCH
12 hour shifts, one on duty 24/7.  Either 3 on 4 off, or 4 on 3 off, or 7 on 7 off...

[BornKrazi]

Background should be compliant to a SIS/FedPol officer (you all know the deal I don't need to post all 16 questions).
