So. The basic concept:

This game is going to be a bit of a mystery. The players are not going to see, let alone make their character sheets until a good way into the game, once their characters have worked out their new abilities.

The system and setting will also be a surprise. Until the group works it out you're going to say "I want to do this" and I will tell you what to roll.

However, I can tell you the start: The characters are the main cast of the rebooted Dungeons and Dragons movie, using some shiny new technology to record their film. Then immediately after filming the last scene they wake up somewhere unknown in new bodies...

The technology is of course the first rollout of experimental SIMsense, and what has happened is pretty obvious to those in the know: A group of runners just got some seriously glitchy sims, ran them in hot sim, and got their brains rewired.

Basically a bunch of pre-awakening actors are waking up in 2070 with no clue what is happening, new bodies, and bounties on their heads from the local corpsec.

Has anyone run something like this before? Any thoughts or suggestions?

Also, running 4E. Because I am a man of wealth and taste.
