The set-up: the players in my Cyberpunk: 2020 campaign owe Gazprom £20,000, which has to be paid back in two weeks (this is because they got into a fire-fight and had to pull strings to get Gazprom to airlift them from danger). They're also being pursued by a nefarious and as-yet unidentified organisation, who might be connected to a security firm whose employees they killed "in the course of their investigations". They are also under suspicion from the police for the abduction and murder of a high-class call girl, with some justification. Meanwhile, they are trying to think up a way to get £200,000-worth of heroin from a cottage outside Douglas, on the Isle of Mann, to Liverpool, without being detected by the authorities, in exchange for 10% of the cut, for a Cameroonian pentecostal church leader-cum-drug baron.
Their plan? To parachute the drugs into an inner-city park. Under the auspices of a 24-hour charity gig performed by the rockerboy character (an East German DJ), the climax of which will see him parachuting with his turntables (containing the heroin) from a plane flown from Douglas to Liverpool, while continuously DJing. The theory being that, if you want something hidden, you should hide it in plain sight.
This is why I play role playing games. You never, ever know what you're going to get until everybody sits down at the table and starts play.
Love it.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, what could possibly go wrong?
ReplyDeleteMother of god...this is amazing hahaha!
ReplyDeleteI like how you've repurposed Gazprom (assuming they're not in Cyberpunk 2020 canonically) -- they and their oligarchical brethren are perfect for the shadowy and powerful "corps" of the cyberpunk genre.
