So everyone from my group in Göttingen (Tech Support, Gadget, Igel, Eddy, Uschi and Predator) please stop reading.
[ Spoiler ]
Gadget STOP reading, last chance!
Are they gone? ...ok
Is there any canon dirt on the Draco Foundation?
Some of my players are metagaming a lot and think Dunkelzahns playthings are the ultimate good guys,
saving the world, friend of all shadowruners and completely trustworthy.
So to cure them of trusting anyone
(took me half a year to make them stop trusting every friendly npc they just met and not start an interrogation with "Here is what we know...")
i plan on DF being the bad guys and Aztec being the (somewhat) good guys.
I have no trouble portraying Aztec believable as a fair and square, business first, no human sacrifice corp (i mean they got to have a couple of non crazy non bloodmage execs, right). But DF doing something really bad without my players protesting ("they would never do that!!") is hard to find.
The campaign is set in LA and supposed to be pretty pink mohawk.
And since i have been very stingy with money, gear and power (several house rules to keep balance) we decided to have a Overpowered campaign. No houserules almost everything that is even remotely RAW and starting with 500BP.
and while i havnt seen the finished chars yet im starting to fear what they will bring to the table
what i heard so far:
shifter voodoo(possession) summoning mage:
she said she can reliably summon lvl 17 spirits (bind lvl 8 ) without drain (i guess spending edge is involved)
and plans to have several spirits of Man cast and sustain Increase Initiative, Deflect, Armor, Improved Invisibility and Levitate on her and others with Magical Guard and Conceal (expensive but as high class LA runner probably affordable)
Nosferatu Mental Manipulation Mage:
Influence, Compulsion, Alter Memory and Control Thoughts sounds scary
Seal Shifter Ware Adept:
with geneware-bioware and a ranged attack dicepool of 34
Commanding Voice Adept
Pixi Mage
Arcane Investigator (based on Harry Dresden)
No Face (face with ware to change looks including retina and fingerprints, also a Judas working for Aztec)
So 4 mages, 2 adepts and a face
any ideas to challenge them?
so far i have:
12 sisters (androids in Goth Lolita look)
visiting a cyberzombie farm
hoards of feral ghouls underground
and giving them plenty of explosives (sooner or later they always blow themselves up)
maybe ask the Nosferatu to write down Judas on his char sheet (without him actually having it) once they find out what he is. that might bring the meta gamers to actually roleplay having a bloodsucking monster in their midst.
