4 Corporate Punishment
INTRODUCTION
orporate Punishment offers three different Shadowrun roleplaying adventures linked by a single theme: thecorporations and what they are willing to do in the cause of one-upmanship. The stakes are high and thecorps know that even one slip-up can damage their image and their relationships with the other moversand shakers. From petty theft to wetwork, the corps know the shadows are the place to get the professional
talent they need to stay one step ahead of (or catch up to) the competition. As always for the runners, the problem is not finding work, but surviving the punishment these paranoid
entities are willing to dish out.
THE ADVENTURESDouble Take ships the player characters into the walled city of Portland in the the ultra-paranoid country of
Tir Tairngire. Their assignment is to hit Universal Omnitech on behalf of Telestrian Industries. What should be asimple data steal turns out to be only one thread in a tangle of corporate and governmental politics, snaggingthe characters in ancient hatreds and the bottom line.
In Second Effort, the player characters must infiltrate a spy into one of the most secretive corporations inthe world—Proteus AG. Their ultra-secure facility five hours north of Seattle in the secluded forests of the Salish-Shidhe makes getting in hard and getting out even harder.
Legacy unfolds a corporate power play over one of Dunkelzahn’s bequests—a set of scrolls given to thedragon Hualpa. When the dragon allows the Draco Foundation to arrange for others to conduct research on theancient texts, someone decides that sharing is for suckers. Sent to Boston to enter the fray, the characters mustdeal with out-of-control magic and survive corporations playing for keeps.
SOURCE MATERIALCorporate Punishment is intended for use with Shadowrun, Third Edition (SR3). Gamemasters will find the
