All the Rage

One of the things the Sixth World excels at is inventing millions of ways to piss people off. Chicago, particularly the Containment Zone, has a special gift for inciting tempers, with its pockmarked roads, feral gangs, bad-tempered thugs, drugged-out vagrants, and many other elements that are irritating at best, fatal at worst.

Fight promoter Sid Gambetti has a lot of pressures piling on him at once, including financial strain and a massive blackmail demand, and if he doesn’t get some relief, he’s likely to blow. Unfortunately, it seems like just about everyone who has become involved with Sid is just as pressured and just as irritated. Any shadowrunners who take on the job that Sid has for them are going to be walking through a minefield of hot-tempered, bulked-out, Sixth World crazies who are just looking for an excuse to put the hurt on someone. Yeah, there’s a pile of nuyen on the other side of the gauntlet, but it will take some quick thinking and fast moving to claim it without being on the receiving end of huge doses of pain.

The latest Shadowrun Mission set in Chicago, While the City Sleeps can be played as part of an ongoing Chicago-based campaign or all by itself, as an exciting night in one of the wildest cities of Shadowrun’s Sixth World setting.

SRM 05-05: While the City Sleeps is for use with Shadowrun, Fifth Edition.

Should make for some nice reading this weekend

And here is some art that Bull posted on the SR Mission FB page:

Overall a well written adventure in my opinion. Very fitting for Chicago, for sure.

I do wonder about the Host for the apartment building where Miguel Garza lives, as it's rating and attributes all have numbers in parentheses (normally indicating augmented attributes) which I don't quite understand.

Man, totally missed that.  If you notice, those numbers are identical to Garza's stats.  Looks like they were accidentally copied down into the host stat block as well.

The Correct stats are:

Rating: 4
Attack: 4   
Sleaze: 5   
Data Processing: 6
Firewall: 7

Thanks, Bull, that makes much more sense

Having read through the adventure preoperly now, I have to say I think this is a really solid mission. There's something to  do for everyone, and some of the setting elements [spoiler]like Garza's abused girlfriend with the kid on her arm and the story about Garza, in his mind altered state, wanting to kill the kid for crying, that one hit me right in the feels[/quote] I thought were very well conceived, serving the purpose of drawing me into the story of this twisted dystopia we all love.
