Advice for Braindance Gig Idea
Hey Chooms, I’ve recently stumbled across this video by ryanimelDM about side-shots; essentially one shots placed in the middle of a campaign for world building and lore. The prime example given in the video was the party playing as legends of the past to get insight into BBEG.
This had me thinking of a way to incorporate this into my campaign and the best vehicle I thought to use was braindance. So the mission goes like this, my party is going to deal with the mysterious BBEG soon. The BBEG has hired previous edgerunners who have turned up dead but they all have braindance recorders. The party then can scroll the BD’s off the corpses and play as this previous party of edgerunners to get clues into the BBEG. I give them all character sheets of the dead runners and they can roleplay out what happened before their deaths.
I say all this to get advice for this style of mission. Is it too restrictive? Have any other DM’s here done a mission like this? Any and all feedback would be nice.
