Toss out ideas for runs/scenarios, but keep em short,

----------------------------------
Use the Butterfly Effect trick.

Put the players in a position to prevent or correct something horrible that happened in their own past, but at severe cost to themselves. Whether this is Ashton Kutcher's loss of love level, or his own prenatal suicide level, doesn't matter.

Just use it to make the players/characters realize the consequences of their own actions.
