So last night I threw together a game of Burning Wheel on the fly in a different setting...
Based on the movie Equilibrium - which i highly recommend. Not original but well done with some interesting surprises.
Its a post apocalyptic sci-fi thriller that is a cross between the Matrix and 1984.
Anyway, it was a one-shot action adventure so I had to throw characters together VERY quickly (I didn't want to spend any more time than I had to before getting to shooting things).
So I had them pick a specialization and a disadvantage. Beause they were all playing highly trained operatives I said they had 5 dice in everything, 7 dice in their specialization and 3 dice in their disavantaged area.
It worked out really well, I think. There was only one problem. They want me to run it again... damnit if all my one shots never get to be one shots. What i planned as a underground siege coupled with some bad ass combats turned into a planned cultural invasion. Best laid plans...
