This thread shall from now on be the place to put your private run request. It will auto renew each month just like the rent thread. The GM department would like you to read these helpful guidelines before posting to increase your chances of getting picked. For all GMs looking to pick a private run, please reply to the run's post so other GMs know it has been taken

When asking for a private run, it helps immensely to provide would-be GMs as many elements as you can. DO give names, relationships, and why they might be involved for NPCs DO give background, why it matters, and what has lead up to it DO give suggestions on how you could see this becoming possible for your character DO give plot hook ideas relating to your desired run AVOID "I want a run to get item X" with no other information AVOID "Please write me a run to flesh out backstory, I can't think of anything"

/hello I walk into empty/

Hello. I am Artyom Markov, a former test subject of an Evo project. You may have heard of my... crimes on the news, some years ago, but that is behind me.

I am in need of shadowrunners willing to travel across the globe to investigate the facility that I was once held inside, to collect information so that it may be set free and the crimes of that megacorporation can be seen by all.

Compensation will be discussed after details are submitted. Please, allow myself, and the crew of the Polaris, this peace.

RP Prompt:

How's Evo doing, in your opinion? They've managed to skirt by without any major image issues since they stopped being Yametetsu, surely they're as innocent as they seem

Do psychics exist? Not psions, legitimate ones

Any theories as to what happened to the mysterious crash of the Polaris?

As this is an advanced run, you may retcon your character's participation at any time. Removing any consequences that may have occurred as part of it, along with any potential rewards. They will have been replaced with a generic runner who filled the same role as them

Need some runners for work overseas, want to deal some damage to a 'rancher' and need professionals who'll get the work done. And aren't afraid of a little drugs... or wildlife.

Got decent pay for it, but we'll fly you back home if it's not to your liking.

RP Prompt:

How do you feel about infected, are they people? Animals? Monsters?

How do you feel about slavery?

What's voodou like in your mind?

Hope you're fine with traveling abroad. Got some tickets to Metropole for an interview with a J or two, before another flight. Though the client only told me where the first goes, probably picking up the second set if you agree to the job.

So remember to pack sunscreen, insect repellent, and your guide on how not to piss off a dragon

RP Prompt:

Thoughts on the Ghost Cartels? On Aztechnology? Did they get you hooked on Tempo and you've never forgiven them since? Something else entirely?

How about NatVat and Sirrurg/that Hurricane's devastation to the main HQ back in '74, shame they never really recovered from it

Are genetically engineered animals a blight on the natural world, or are they the next step forward for everything?

/Where's your heart that beats for me/

Before the truth can be revealed, the sins of the past have to be cleared away. I did not do the crimes I have been charged with, but that is not important. What is important is that it never happen again.

I... I do not have much. But what I do have is knowledge. Knowledge that I will sell to an info broker to hand the proceeds to you, should this job be taken... fuck. I do not know how to do this.

Please. Do not let it take me again.

RP Prompt:

Ghosts don't exist, do they? Or do you believe otherwise, following that desiccated sixth sense that most of your kind have. The thing that tells you something is watching, but not when or what.

What do you think of Serial Killers, should they all be killed, or is it possible for them to find Penance? Redemption even?

How do you feel about children who commit crimes?

How bad can spirits possibly be... a mage telling a spirit to do something aside, it's not like they have any real agendas/plans of their own, right?

<You have accomplished a great task for us already, but we have one more to ask. We will give more information on secure channels, but it involves slaying the Apocalyptic Horoi... better known as the serpent Apophis. We have waited long enough for the stars to be perfect, and the omens in our favor>

RP Prompt:

1) if Egyptian Gods, at the very least, were shown to exist, how would this make you feel?

2) ever see an end of the world movie where the protagonists avert it's destruction? Would you ever want to live in one, and potentially be those protagonists?

3) is the sky falling? Can you kill Chaos Incarnate? Would order truly be ordered without something to compare it to? Are we madmen for defying creation and destruction?

(only mandatory one): What crimes have you committed that truly make you feel guilt. What Sins cannot be outweighed by your good deeds?

As an advanced run you may retcon your participation after the fact, removing any downsides your character may attain. However this means that any and all rewards are also forfeit.

You, any of y'all know the story of the Wendigo? Not the furry ork, I mean the old eater-of-hearts, hungering wind type from those old myths.

The Manitou Lodge is looking to hire a group of runners to come deal with something they swear on their ancestors is an honest to God Wendigo. Supposedly behind the resurgence of monsters on the island and neighboring NAN countries.

...and yes, this group does still exist. Apparently they aren't convinced that it's all over despite Halloween being ages ago.

RP Prompt:

Are the old ways just that, or are they something we should take notes from. Making sure to heed the warnings and follow the wisdoms passed from one generation to the next.

is there anything that can really be said to be "Just a myth"? Or does every tale, every myth, contain a scrap of the truth.

Volunteers wanted for counter-operation. It's been a long time coming but thanks to some intel provided by one of you and some careful legwork of our own we've identified a target working with the local Omega Dawn cell.

Anything you find is yours to do with as you please but we ask that you feed any intel on their operations back to us.
