|Often our sessions break off in the middle of adventures - it's a bit
|hard to explain why Fred suddenly just "vanished" before your eyes...

In shadowrun, that always was a toughie.... I'd have him knocked unconcious
almost straight away (stun only), and miraculously recover when he turns
up.... Poetic licence, don't ya know...

In rifts, it's somewhat easier. You just have one of the baddies use a
one-use weapon that creates a small dimentional pocket that sucks him
in..... He then pops out when convenient....

|Tried it. Never again... it messes with your head when your character's
|best friend doesn't recognise any of his buddies and thinks they're
|trying to hurt him. Brainwashing is bad.

I thought that'd be the whole point.....
