This is something I've been considering for my players but I was wondering if others had tried this and had any advice.
We've hit somewhat of a lull in the storyline and our team is a little stretched for resources at the moment so I had considered basically letting them come up with a heist or crime themselves to make money and then I construct an on-the-spot run based around that. Essentially, a quick non-Johnson initiated operation. Has anyone tried this kind of spontaneous style run before? |
