I also get a lot of my ideas from tv and movies. My runners have saved Seattle
from Lo Pan and his Three Storms ala Big Trouble In Little China(their favorite
shadowrun yet.) We also have done a series of runs based on the X-Files.
The runners investigated the various mysteries for Johnsons instead of for the
FBI. The other killer crossover run we did was based on a Michael Crichton novel
called Congo about an intelligent ape, a trip to Africa, a fortune in super-
conductor diamonds, and mysterious monsters. The interaction with the locals was
almost as much of an adventure as the various beasties. I think I have most of
these adventures spread through different notebooks and scribbled on various
sheets of paper so if anyone's interested I probably could type them up and post
them but now that I think about it, I'm sure there would be copyright problems
so I don't know. What's the general concensus for posting things based on
copyrighted material?
