Hi all, I've had an idea which I thought you might be interested in.
Imagine for a moment that, back before the awakening, one of the world governments was experimenting in long term cryogenic status. Now imagine that during the confusion that followed the awakening, then the crash, then... well lets face it, things got a little hectic around that time. The facility got lost, then sixty years later the time lock opens and our guy thaws. He wakes up in a world that's massively different from the one he went to sleep in. He's got no friends, no knowledge of magic or the matrix, and only whatever obsolete gear was left in his facility before it was abandoned. Basically, he's got to live on his wits in a brave new world. So my question is this: would an unaugmented mundane like this be playable? |
