I use it very often when one of the players can't be there and you really need them to follow the game line.

If I get some spare time, I'll will use the recipe above to produce an example scenario and post it here. With some imagination, there are so much ready made stuff you can use.

A lot of times when I'm having trouble coming up with an idea I just go to the newspaper and look till I find an interesting headline. Often these make good extended encounters or side trek adventures. One of the cool things about doing this is you have to take the event that happened and translate it to a different tech level. I just went and got a headline from my local paper, "Robbery leads police to big haul of guns, drugs and stolen goods". Wow could we have it served to us on a silver platter please! Ok lets say we're on a higher tech world at least 12 or so. We have a patron that 'somehow' had some sort of PDA type device that is in that haul. He has some sensitive information he doesn't want to get out. So he hires our intrepid players to either get the device or wipe it's drive. Now we need to figure out what types of high tech gear the players can use to accomplish their mission, or how they can sneak into the police evidence locker. It should be fun just to throw the problem out and sit back and listen to what kind of crazy plans the players come up with. Anyway, you could come up with a number of scenarios to get players involved with that headline and have any random encounters you need for the evening all taken care of. BeRKA,
