That ¥5000 for Toni Verona is a sucker's bounty.  I'll lay odds that anyone who "walked away from her husband and family six months ago" is really an extraction that the originating corp doesn't want to pay out on.

Or she left a bad relationship and an unhappy control freak hubby wants her found and brought back, so finding her might not be doing her any favours.

Wouldn't be the first time trackers been used this way.

I really like dunkelzahns last will. But the bountys are an issue. As GM you could prevent your group from getting them alive. You could intercept the transportation by UCAS / KA / Runners / what ever. Or your Johnson could give them a contract to catch one, and only paying them X. If the J plays nice, my group would respect such a contract. Or you could make them pay a good amount of money by destroying their cars or cast a high level (edge) pulse spell on them. They get 1.000.000 but they lose myb a cyberdeck, all the weapons, the car and so on.

On the other hand, i would love to find with one of my chars the information about the mars pictures. 1% of ares is a nice award. My char would be done, he would quit shadowrunning, i would never play him again, but i would know that he is happy and very rich And i would really like to play a campaign to get that information. The perfect finish for a high karma (400-500) shadowrunner. Do or die. High risk high reward. It would be a great last big bang!

Weapons? Unlikely, unless everyone is using high-tech (lasers etc.). Otherwise you just slap on new electronics and you're good to go. And some teams like to make sure their ride is EMP-proof. But yeah, the loss of a 'deck could be brutal.

If blood mages *know* they have a 1mil bounty on their head (collection difficulties aside), I doubt they're going to show themselves much, so including them in a scenario is going to be problematic... The security around Azzie blood mages must be phenomenal!

Also, what other creatures (in sourcebooks) have bounties on them - is it just 'running wild', or is it mentioned in other books?
