So I've never really run a game based on assassination before, and I was considering trying it out. However, I can't quite wrap my head around it, as far as what the players are actually doing. I mean, basically, they accept the job, gather information, and then kill the guy? That just doesn't seem like a lot of stuff to do. So, anyone have ideas for how to make wetwork runs more interesting/longer? I'm drawing a blank on good complications to have pop up during the run. Like something that is interesting without making the run too hard. If it helps, for the run I'm considering, the target would be an Incense Master of a Seattle based Triad, who may or may not be a vampire (I haven't decided yet, but I'm leaning towards yes.)
