I ran a campaign in Bug city, started before the breakout...
Muchas fun.
The runners were hired as body guards for a action Simsinse star on her UCAS
promo tour.
In the beginning the players thought it was a simple job well more or less
simple
but nothing unusual. Somewhere during the tour they found out that the `star`
was
in fact a runner who sold her runs as action sims, with ties to the Mafia and
some arms manufactures testing the new weapons on the runs.
So the runners were pretty sure at this point what will come down on them what
fools
they were :)
So after a little action on some points of the tour, the final tour date
was set in Chicago.
Well it got realy hot pretty fast, a corp team, Mafia goons all striking at
the same time pretty pissed at her, because of what she had done.
And in the middle of the fight the bugs breakout, storming the place and all
went down in a mess...
The rest is history of a survival struggle :)
