After Synner's suggestion of this topic, I figure it's a good idea. Being one of the idiots who need this thread, I can't contribute much, but maybe others more knowledgeable can help out. This is the thread for those of us who feel intimidated or overwhelmed by the idea of vehical, drone, and security rigging and how it can fit into a campaign without being overly distracting.

Well I'll go ahead and turn this thread over to the experts after getting the ball rolling just a bit with this question: How exactly does drone rigging work?
