As a GM I at least try to persuade my players to be carefull, planning, and at least a little crazy. I don't like characters who are played as nothing more then bullit sponge hack and slashers.
One thing that's come to my attention is a Phenomenon known as "Cook-Off", when temperature in the chamber has risen to such a point that each and every round that enters the chamber fires off by itself without any coaxing from the firing pin. I.E. Joe has burned two clips through his trusty rifle, and inserts his third, jacks the slide, and sights up on a vid camera in control room, pulls trigger, round fires off but temp in chamber rises those few degrees to start Cook-Off, Joe is now spraying the entire control room with Lead, seriously upsetting the Decker/Hacker, and scaring the wits out of his mage. So I'm wondering how you folks, as GM's would handle Cook-Off. How could player in question recieve warning if it's about to happen? At what point would it happen? What all happens when it happens? Side Note: what's happening Chummers, I've missed y'all, blew knee out at work so have oppurtunity to spend quality time on rump. |
