Not to join in with the chorus of "ooh, great idea!" too much, but that's a
cool idea.

One problem though. IF you decide to actually put them 100 years ahead and
it NOT be a simsense dream, how are they going to get back? You've
basically consigned those particular PCs to the far future of SR, with
probably no hope of ever returning to 205X.

If that's not a problem for you, then cool. Go for it. But I know some
people get attached to PCs (myself included) and would be horribly pissed
if a GM ever trapped our PCs in some other time period.

But the idea does have potential and could be very interesting. Might be
fun for a non-official impromptu Con game; there, who cares if your PC is
lost in the future? Either the PC was pregenerated or you can take it back
to your own game and ignore the future bit.
