Smoke Gets In Your Eyes

In mass combat, you might be blinded by the fog of war. In hand-to-hand combat, you might have to deal with tunnel vision. And when running the shadows of Chicago, you just might have to contend with the fumes from a fire in an abandoned plastics factory that no one can seem to put out.

Which is what’s happening when a new job comes your way. This job doesn’t really need anything to make it more difficult—when some people have disappeared, and then the first team that went to find them also vanished, you know something very wrong is lurking ahead. Can the runners find the threat and defeat it, despite the now-omnipresent smoke? Only one way to find out!

SRM 08-02 Can You Dig It is the latest in the Chicago series of Shadowrun Missions. It is for use with Shadowrun, Fifth Edition, though plot elements can also be used in Shadowrun: Anarchy.

Why is it that any time I see the words 'people have disappeared' and 'Chicago' in the same blurb, I start looking for the insecticide?

Haven't they learned anything since Cermak?

Nuke the site from orbit.  It's the only way to be sure.
RPG mechanics exist to give structure and consistency to the game world, true, but at the end of the day, you’re fighting dragons with algebra and random number generators.
