This is a rather nasty idea inspired by the dream I had last night.
What if a corporation, through a nasty mix of Leonizaton, quickened
hybernation spells, cybermantic-like rituals, and good old fasioned
cryonics, perfected the art of practical suspended animation and
revival?
This could be downright wicked in the hands of an Evil GM [tm]. Just
develop rules and background material to run SR, say in 2170.
Stagering changes can happen in a century. Just take all the off the
wall speculation about the future of SR and run with it.
There's always that "oh that wasn't the _real_ Awakening, that was
just the warm up act" plot twist. Maybe the Horrors finally did
invade. Or perhaps a family of Great Form Light Elementals used their
inherent abilities to listen in on any fiber-optic transmission (not
to mention maniupulate those very same transmissions) to pull the rug
of power out from under the megas, replacing control of the world with
a benevelent dictatorship by Free Spirit.
Then once the Evil GM is properly prepared, they just tuck away all
this nice, pre-prepared background material in the back of their
binder, and then wait for the Players to do something stupid that
would get them very nearly geeked, en-mass.
After the last Runner falls unconcious from the hail of Sec Guard
bullets, Evil GM lets them sit for a minute or two while he flips to
the back of his binder. Suddenly it's 2173, and the shadowrunners have
just been brought out of cryosleep for [insert reason/plothook here].
What do you think?
