Just a thought I thought about just now, have you ever thought of how your
average player would feel if the were going through a campaign and then
suddenly they die, oh damm they all say (or more explicit version) but then
across their vision flashes the words, "Game Over" This isn't supposed to
happen. They all wake up in a small dark room all connected up to a Sim sence
deck with a multiple hitcher jack and intravenus drip connected to their arms,
they then find out that the year is 2060 and they are lowly workers who
volenteered to test Vision Quests New VQ 2060 and the ultimate RP game
Shadowrun....Nasty twist?....imagine (if rp'ed properly) how character would
feel to be having the time of there lives and then be brought down to not
alot, I now for sure one or two members of my current group would be addicted
to the buzz and either want to get on to the VQ 2060 again or try out SR for
real...
Just a thought brought on by total recall and an article in arcane, and an
episode of Red Dwarf (Did I say I was British?)
Tim (not the other one)
