  @Em0nM4stodon @LoganFive @michaelgemar @dgar One of the most difficult ones to run was a space game. I started with the crew and sentient ship mind-wiped for the last few days, with a pile of money in the galley and a recorded message from the characters earlier selves saying they had taken a job, been paid well, and agreed to the mind wipe. Take the money and go. Of course they didn't. I ran flash backs in media res. Fun letting them figure out what they did. Wow that is a fantastic intro haha! Pretty convenient for a DM as well hehe 😏 Convenient?? Hardly the word I'd use. I let the players role play the flash backs, when the players didn't yet know what happened, so had to tread carefully with plot armor to make the pieces I had revealed still valid. Bandages with blood and an injured character at the start, I've got to get them into a non fatal fight in one of the flash backs. Best mysterious clue was unknown initials on the high score of the "game pack" the Android PC had installed inside its memory. |

Aww, thanks. I love sharing #ttrpg stories. I ran a con panel many years ago called "So there I was..." Where I started it off sharing a few stories like this, and the old Usenet lore of the "Gazebo" and "Head of Vecna" tales, and then had the audience contribute their own stories. It was a blast.
