Speaking of odd runs... has anyone tried doing something with a blatant
rip off of "North by Northwest"? ie: Having one of the characters
mistaken for some elite agent of blah blah blah government? I did
something like that recently with one of my players who wanted to do a
solo adventure... but still want to do it in a bigger way. The little
adventure involved him waking up on the outskirts of a small town in
Sioux Nation in clothes that were definitely not his, and having everyone
in town know him as "Mr. McAllister". =)
Oh, and he discovered after some time that he had a number of small burns
from what looked like had been electrodes... Hmmm...
