I'm planning on making a new character to play around with, and I'm toying with a new idea: what if I have this guy sell out the team? Say he's a long-term runner for Aztech (who my group pissed off) and they sent him to infiltrate the group. He might do a few runs with them, but the second they go against anything the big A has control over, they get a little call from him detailing what they're hitting when...
The main problems are as follows: First, I am the "main" GM. I got the group together, and taught them about SR and RPing in general. However, I have since then "trained" two GMs, who are very competant. The thing here is that I'm not sure if I could tell them, becuase they usually run while I GM, and I would be destroying the group they're a part of. So, it would be a really nasty surprise for everyone. Second, it would most likely kill at least some of the group, and these are all their first characters. I don't want to be that mean, but it's such an interesting idea, I can't let go of it... Opinions? Ideas? Flames? |
