Title: Shadowrun Riddles and Puzzle Challanges?
Post by: Ragmon on <03-08-13/1802:47>
Hey guys.

So I will be running a doing a Die Hard 3 run around messing with the players type of story arch. Tho the "bad" guy is a major coyote spirit (trickery and all that).

The thing I wanted to ask is, are there Shadowrun specific Riddles and/or Puzzle Challenges?

If not do you guys have some ideas form some? (we are playing in Seattle, 2 man party)

So far the ideas I have for the run around:
- Biker with a map tattooed on his back. He does not know about it and only the players
 see it.
- They need to steal yacht which belongs to a dragon that can travel into a meta plane of fays or something, where the players need to locate a triplet of dryads fora riddle.
- Infiltrate "penthouse" part of the Seattle arcology to get a package which on unpacking turn out to be some kind of personal gliding system when the alarm ring and they suddenly realize what they need to do.
- I want to do something with the matrix too...I just don't have any idea at the moment.
- For the ending I was thinking of huge spirits on top of the Needle tower at night.

Leave some really absurd and over the top ideas.

Maybe some Seattle area specific riddles.

Maybe a riddle based on the Seattle skit show Almost live! (Which is getting rebooted!) Something like: Find the street where Speed Walker last heel-toed (They must track down old video of Speed Walker's last episode to find the correct street)

The trickster spirit manages to place them in some twisted and deadly version of a daytime trid gameshow. Or, worse, he decides to play host.

I like the idea...here is my twist::
- At the "end" at the top of the Needle they have to make a leap of faith, and when they are just about to hit the pavement I tell them "you close you eyes as you are about to hit the ground, but nothing happens" players go "I open my eyes". Then I describe that there on a TV game show, Coyote in a human body and animal head, in a suit as the game show host. Then I play a quiz show with them. Probably even end the mission with this event.

Maybe you could have them solve the mystery of why severed feet often wash up on the shores of Seattle.
Google it, it's a real thing!

Sorry, that one's already been solved!
