Crescent City Crusade

About the adventure

Welcome to the Big Easy The year is 2080, and the Crescent City has been reborn as a glittering, neon-soaked fortress rising out of the rising Gulf waters. In this sprawl, the French Quarter’s wrought-iron balconies overlook flooded streets where sleek motorboats and high-tech gondolas outrun corporate drones. Here, the thin veil between the physical world and the astral plane is worn to a thread, fueled by the city’s ancient pulse and the heavy, humid magic of the bayou. Shadowrun: Crescent City Crusade is a high-octane blend of noir investigation and tactical heist-action. You aren't just mercenaries; you are specialists operating in a city where the "Old Ways" of Voodoo and Hoodoo have evolved alongside cutting-edge cybernetics. While the megacorps like Aztechnology and Horizon fight for control of the new port, the street gangs and pirate crews rule the canals, and something ancient is waking up in the swamps beyond the city walls. This game is designed for players who love a mix of dark atmosphere, deep lore, and high-stakes strategy. We lean into the "Pink Mohawk" style of play—where the action is cinematic and the style is everything—but with a "Black Trenchcoat" respect for the consequences. Whether you’re a decker diving into the local Matrix grid (the "Big Easy Node") or a Street Samurai holding off a corporate hit squad during a hurricane, your choices will ripple through the city's delicate power balance. Expect a campaign where reputation is the only currency that matters. You’ll navigate a world of shifting loyalties, where a contact in a back-alley jazz club is just as valuable as a high-grade smartlink. If you’re ready to trade your soul for a payday and see if you can survive the neon-lit shadows of NOLA, grab your gear. The spirits are watching, and the clock is ticking.
