Shadows in Focus: Starving the Massses
 |
A Half-Step from Chaos
If there's anything shadowrunners have learned over and over again¸ it's that the veneer of civilization coating much of the world is extremely thin (in the Barrens¸ of course¸ it's non-existent). There are so many tensions in the Sixth World that altering the delicate balances just a hair or two can bring chaos and conflict to areas that had previously managed to scrape together a peaceful appearance.
If you want to cause that chaos¸ all that's needed is a little gentle pressure on one of the essential arteries that keeps civilization alive. And no artery is as susceptible to this pressure as the food supply.
Stripped of a lucrative position and exiled from his family¸ Theo Two-Hearts has a score to settle¸ and he's going to take it out on the entire Sioux Nation. Like many vengeance-minded people before him¸ he's turned to shadowrunners to do his dirty work. If they sign on to his plan¸ they're going to confront some of the toughest forces the Sioux Nation can throw at them. The first bit of chaos they create will rain down on them - if they survive¸ much more will follow.
Starving the Masses is an adventure that is part of the Shadows in Focus: Sioux Nation series for Shadowrun¸ Fifth Edition. It can be played alone¸ or the Sioux Nation and Cheyenne books can be used to add more richness and details to a challenging run!
