From Modern Nights
- Make Or Pick A Fixer NPC: Pick somebody to hook up your player characters with the job. If you need inspiration or want to simply grab an NPC off the shelf, check out our borrowable NPCs!
- Offer A Challenge: Your Fixer NPC could give the characters a task like ...
- Exterminating Pests: A drug or weapon supply route has been getting sabotaged lately. Dead drops raided, pushers jumped ... Something is happening that makes it so that the supply isn't meeting its destination. So the last shipment was bugged up with a GPS tracker. Follow the ping. Either find out how the goods were intercepted or put an end to these pesky competitors.
- Rescue Mission: The spouse of an extortion debtor. Family of of a high-profile gang member. A supplier. Whoever they are, they've been captured by a rival. The characters need to get that person out, hopefully quietly. Maybe the place is booby trapped! Maybe the place has a bunch of guards! Maybe it's a race against the clock before they're offed. Either way, the players should have a challenge to get 'em out of there.
- The Hit: The wife wants the insurance money. The mark's enemies are the fixer's friends and the fixer owes said friends a favor. Whatever the case may be, the players need to make the mark eat dust and do it quietly.
- Cold Case: The police don't give a fuck about these people and so the criminal becomes the coroner and the detective to look out for his own. The fixer is almost certain of an old gang member's fate: their car found shot out and abandoned, a word from a birdy about a run down house with the stench of death. Find the victim's remains -- perhaps with a fight from their killers guarding the area -- and bring them back to help somebody find peace.
- Jail Break: The fixer knows somebody who got arrested with hot cargo and now he's detained at a particular station. Fortunately, with some help from corrupt police employees who want our courier and the cargo sprung, we know where that is! Find the detainee, break them out, and make sure nobody notices a thing.
- Offer Rewards: Cash-money, a cut of the goods ... Whatever it may be, you are welcome to have the fixer NPC offer a reward which you can then have staff administer through +request. Successful completion of a fixer's challenge may also be rewarded with at least 1 XP (more if they go above and beyond).
