I've been running Shadowrun games for a years now and I always play with a guy that metagames to an annoying level. I want to finally teach him a lesson. My plan is to run a 2050 setting game involving the "rise of a humanitarian organization in the Barrens". I won't call them the Universal Brotherhood. I know any SR player worth his salt would immediately assume insect spirit and act accordingly, but I want to use this run as an object lesson about metagaming in general.
After baiting him to assume insect spirits, does anyone have any suggestions on how I can switch out the actual threat in a way that would be most disastrous for him? Be eeeeeeeevil. |
