A video on RFID tags I made earlier.

So, RFID tags. At 20 per nuyen, they're without doubt the cheapest tool in the 'runner's toolbox. They're tracking devices. They're proof of ID. They're AR distractions. They're bugs. They can add nav points for your team to navigate your trap filled safehouse.

And as a GM you can use them to literally paint a target on your player's backs. So let's hear some stories of your best and most inventive uses of RFID tags.

I'll start with my latest escapade as a GM: Our new runner is being introduced as a prisoner escaping from a corporate holding facility that contains our team's rescue target. The team is using the usual tricks of thermal smoke, flash-paks, ect but no matter what Corpsec always know where to shoot and where the team is hiding. Turns out all the prisoners are implanted with a security RFID and when she escaped it painted a literal AR target on her for all corpsec to see. They could accurately shoot her through smoke, walls, when hiding overhead... the team needed to hold position and cut the damn thing out with a first aid kit to get away. They had to do the same thing with the target they were getting paid to rescue too.
