I recently ran a game wherein my friend played a horribly min-maxed hacker, and ended up taking all the game time hacking Johnsons' commlinks, and a corporate mainframe.
The rest of the group just sat there waiting for him while he rolled obcene amounts of dice, and thus I had to roll an obscene amount of dice, and it became a really boring game of yahtzee. how have you guys dealt with the overly complicated hacking rules? I don't want to just tell him "yes" every time he wants info, and the rest of the players are tired of waiting on him. what the hell do I do? |
