Ambush a Humanis war truck full of stolen goods and return them to the client. Simple right? Not when the Barrens smell blood. And not when you’re transporting a haunted metal called Brimsteel. Despite being pursued by the Sons of Sauron and a werewolf go-gang, the runners succeeded with only minimal destruction.

The orks of the Ragers gang wasn’t happy about all these elven refugees moving in on their turf, so Mothers of Metahumans hired the runners to talk them out of hurting any more of them. The trail led them through Pullyup and put them in the sights of the elven criminals of both the Laésa and the Ancients. The runners did manage to talk some sense into the Ragers, but their actions brought retaliation by the Troll Killers gang. They fucked with the wrong shadowrunners, who killed all of them but saved every hostage.

A battle through hell and back to find the skull of a dead heavy metal shaman so that he can teach some kids how to rock. A fiery skull carved into a volcano, penumbral beasts, mechanical monsters, a tunnel of bone, creepy kitties, and an occult ritual to raise the dead under the Four Moons of Shadow. This one had it all.

Professor Mortimer Strauss had stolen an dangerous artifact and the Bear Doctor Society wanted it back to be purified. Enlisting the aid of Strauss’s colleagues at PIT&T, the runners broke into his mansion and stole not just the artifact but a bunch of cool swords and stuff. They did have to face down his guards in the form of many horrid homunculi, watcher spirits, gargoyles and a loose gorgon goose.

A slick heist of a casino run by yakuza vampires that earned the runners a cool half-million nuyen and ended with the casino in flames. And all it cost them was the enmity of a vampire lord and the attention of a scary witch.

Save the pig and outrun all that want to roast him. The runners rescued another shadowrunner after his job went south. The bounty that a dragon placed on him did complicate things. The runners chose not to turn him into the dragon and got him to safety. After a job well done, they walked into an ambush laid by the Halloweeners. They survived and even killer their leader, Nightmare, but not before he badly maimed their fixer Yantho.

The runners are blackmailed by the FBI to go undercover into the Universal Brotherhood's Project Hope to unveil their nefarious conspiracy with Renraku. Posing as homeless, they infiltrate the Camp Hope facility. When it is attacked by mutants, they meet another spy who suggests that the New Day Environics facility will have their answers.

Improvising after their careful planning went belly up right away, half the team kept the Knight Errant guards of the New Day Environics Treatment Plant busy with bullets to cover the other half's infiltration. Not only did New Day's secret treatment recipe involve sacrifice of metahumans to toxic spirits, but the entire plant's workforce had been possessed by insect spirits. Their employer turned out to be an eco-terrorist that used their distraction to plant explosives throughout, which became redundant when the infected KE aerial response team erased all evidence with heavy fire-bombing.

The runner's attack on Camp Faith exposed horrific truths: Renraku was using Project Hope to harvest test subjects for their own nefarious biotech experiments. Even worse, their funding made them unknowing pawns in a darker game: The Universal Brotherhood is a front for the first wave of an invading force of extraplanar Insect Spirits inhabiting metahuman bodies. Allied with a Blood Mage, the runners found the evidence and disrupted the experiments, barely escaping the swarm of hundreds of Insect Spirits within the underground hive.

The runners assisted Knight Errant on a mission to eradicate the Insect Spirit hive in the Ork Underground. It did not go as planned. They averted a nuclear holocaust and saved the undertown, but the hive escaped, assimilated one of their team, and they made no new friends among KE or the FBI. But a win's a win.

Navigating the labyrinth of mad science that is Evo HQ, the runners discovered their Johnson was the very tech they were meant to steal: A sentient cyber corgi. They became embroiled in a power struggle between the two Evo directors: A mischievous spirit and a malevolent Vory cyborg.
Jet packs, tesla canons, were koalas, cyber minotaurs, and comfy snake chairs. This one had it all!

Lancer was poisoned by the canister she was hired to steal. The runners healed her and planned to escort her to meet her Johnson, but were beset by rival shadowrunners, the 405 Hellhounds and toxic spirits. Not to mention that her Johnson turned out to be a toxic shaman that planned to use the poison to kill the democratic candidate and an entire stadium of his supporters. The runners were not down with that. They killed the shaman and saved (most) of the crowd.

Returning to Tír na nÓg, O'dundin sought out his Uncle Faoláin. He fought unseelie fae, banished the corrupted spirit in his mother's pendant, discovered his shapeshifter heritage, and reforged his father's magic sword. Oh, and his generous Uncle Vince may be the source of his recent troubles. All in all, very enlightening.

Break into Brackhaven Investment's downtown highrise office and plant a datatap for MOM to track their dirty deals. Easy until you need to jump out a 38 story window into a moving VTOL to escape Razor Naga security tanks.

The runners awoke Tir Tairngire border-with no memory of how they got there and a mysterious orichalcum key in their possession. They traveled across Seattle for answers to the run that went wrong while Hunted by Tir Ghosts and an Aztechnology assassin. The Bear Doctor showed them that the key opened a gateway to the Shadowplane after unleashing them, and the runners had to rescue their contacts who had gotten involved in a fight with all of their hunters at the yakuza club Underworld 93. Captured by the Tir Ghosts, they made a deal to meet Nicholas Grace, the man they were supposed to bring the key to in the first place. But he had been dead a long time, his body possessed by the chaos mage Mortimer Strauss after the key that was taken from him. After the assassin, Belladonna, crashed the meet, Graceless unleashed the inhabitants of the shadowplane upon them with dozens of rifts at once. The runners won out against the sea of shadows, and destroyed both of Strauss's bodies. They gave the key back to Tir Tairngire's agents, after they made the better offer.

A simple retrieval job turned into a chase through an high-rise apartment as the runners tried to catch a fox-shifter who had accidentally stolen the data while being pursued by Kodama Bakemono and his harem of vampires. The vampire lord was killed and the data was delivered to Magwyn. Impressed they survived her trap, she considered their debt paid. She handed the data to Ayakashi Bakemono, the brother of the Kodama. Ruh-roh.

Brackhaven ordered the detonation of mana bombs spread throughout the Ork Underground. The runners had to move quickly to save as much of Seattle as they could with the help of every contact who would answer. What's worse, Humanis has been infested by Insect Spirits, who were using the mana surges to create rifts to their home plane. The runners managed to stop several detonations and banish the Hive Queen from this plane.
While they're efforts made the difference, much of the city was devastated, thousands of lives lost, and swarms insects entered the material plane before a massive mana void was triggered by an underground ritual site triggered as some... thing escaped its ancient bonds below.
It was bad, but it could have been worse... and worse is still to come.

The runners are hired by a member of the Neo-Anarchist Black Star, Rose Red to free key ABS members of being held in an Amazonian prison. Since a failed attack on Aztechnology, what's left of Black Star has turned into a terrorist group. She hopes that freeing them will restore Black Star to the revolutionaries they once were. Their flown in the Mild High by her pilot, Ozzie, to the capital of Aztlan's capital of Tenochtitlan to meet with a contact, El Mano Rojo. He agrees to tell them where to find her comrades if they can recover supplies from a downed Aztlaner military convoy in the Yucatan.

On their way out, they catch sight of a public execution in the main square. Cat-Sith, says, "Oh, that ain't happenin'" and charges up the temple steps. Against all odds (ALL odds) he manages to leap over the Leopard Guard and reach the prisoner who's lifted up by Vola in dracoform while the others lay covering fire. The executioners, Aztlaner Blood Priests, summon a Blood Spirit to stop them. Just when they think they are away, the spirit engulfs the prisoner in Vola's talons and explodes him from the inside, laughing to itself after. The Mild High launches an EMP blast, cutting off the power for just a moment long enough to lift them off. They are soon after shot down into the Gulf. The Mild High is able to stay submerged until they feel safe. They reach out to Mano Rojo, who was so impressed with their suicide stunt that he gives them the location of the prisoners anyway.

Vola planned to challenge the leader of the Ragers for control of the gang, but the Disassemblers gang beat her to it. She launched a raid on their hideout to free Tongue-Cutter Tom and the other captives from the organleggers.

The Red Vory planned to escalate the syndicate wars with a heavy ordnance shipment from Moscow to the KondOrchid Shipping Depot. The runners were hired by an anonymous Johnson to steal whatever weapons they could from the Vory, but their stealthy heist ended in a bang when another runner team came in all guns blazing to steal the same thing for another client.
