1) RPG THREAD: brief one but I do like to warn the non-gamers. I will say BLADES IN THE DARK is worth picking up for how its really codified the mission/arc structure for a campaign. You still need to toss in backstory, but ...
2) in 15 sessions my crew has broken into a police station to steal evidence with a pop star meetup/union rally as cover, delved into the haunted section of the city, pulled a bank deposit box heist, won a turf war with Martian art and an AR fighting tournament ...
3) infiltrated a stockholder meeting in order to pull an elaborate con to move control to allies, while accidentally getting into a shootout with mercenaries, broken into the local space elevator to reveal corruption ...
4) then a mile-high break-in into a lab on the elevator while simultaneously infiltrating a black bag transpo depot, another brief gang war, followed by stealing a necklace off a dead woman mid-funeral. Almost all these were built to some degree *off the random mission table*
5) Add the Clocks for personal issues, the long term projects structure, how downtime creates gameplay -- I'm using Stress for Bennies for you #SavageWorlds fans -- and I've never had this deep a world, this varied gameplay, with this little prep as a GM.
6) That's not even mentioning the faction part of the game -- seriously, check out @EvilHatOfficial by @john_harper and others, and carve out big chunks of it for your own campaign. /xx
