I'm working on an idea that got scrapped last year when a friend and I
were working on a run to give to a pretty juiced up group of runners for
a Shadowrun tournament that was held. We ended up giving a different run
instead, but would like to revive our old idea: gimme some of your input
if you'd like and it would be great if a couple of you would be willing
to run it through--as sort of a test play almost. Anyway, here it is.
The Dungeon Under {tentative title}
MAIN PLOT:
Runners are sent to deliver a simple package to Northern Science, a
large biophysics/biotechnology corporation based in Seattle, but with
major branches in Atlanta and Baltimore. They are ambushed and knocked
out. . .
When they wake they're in a room with no windows, just a room with
metal walls. They are in cells. In the cell across from them is another
character, unbeknownst to them, a high level initiate physical adept
named Nox.
They eventually leave the cell room along with Nox. The remaining
scenery are halls and resident rooms, all with no windows. Above them,
only pipes and such run along the ceiling. The exits from the halls are
stairways that also have no windows leading to other levels of the
structure.
THe interesting part:
Although most will assumed that they have been in a building of
some sor t this whole time, they will later discover that they are not in
a building at all, but are aboard a large multi-level submarine that is
headed towards no one knows where (not the runners anyway). Also, Nox
vanishes from the group opccasionally and then will join up with them
later on. He has a mission of his own aboard the submarine.
****Okay, that's it in a nutshell--there's still lots more details, but I
wanted to see what some of you thought before I began to seem long-winded
about the whole thing. Also, I need help developing NorSci more
(Northern Science). Input is greatly appreciated! ! !
