The Sprawl / Re: The Sprawl: Beta version
« on: March 31, 2014, 10:26:19 PM »
I don't have a full play report that's fully fleshed, but it went really well. Better than I expected.
Player conclusions / quotes:
"I like this more than Dark Heresy."
"This is fucking amazing."
"It's like Deus Ex and Neuromancer had a threesome with Payday (the PC game)."
I enjoyed running it as well.
Party consisted of:
Dee - Female Infiltrator with hacking skills. Skillchips for Parkour.
Sashko - Male Driver with a decommisioned Russian attack helicopter playing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBhh23-paLU
Caleb - Male Killer with implanted Chainsaws on his arms. Drives a moped.
Heimar - Male Soldier. Disgruntled ex-CCO of a corporation. Basically George Clooney with an assault rifle.
The one-shot mission was a plane hijacking (I called the mission "Your In-flight Movie") that involved disposing of security personnel, stealing corporate designs for a rival corp, disabling electronics with a surreal, Neuromancer-esque hacking scene, and flying the plane for a private aircraft carrier.
I liked being able to use the floorplan to a VC-25 for the game.
I still need to read it over more / playtest, but I think Soldier is a bad term for the class. Executive or Officer works better based on the "leadership" idea.
I'll let you know if I have more suggestions after I DM it again next week. I'm currently designing a half-dozen missions so my players can pick the one they like best based on risk-reward (I'm toying with forcing them to wager an extra amount of cred for high-profile jobs.)
