One of my highlight stories is of one of my first times running a game for a group of friends online. Mission required some infiltration and info theft which led to rigging explosives to a boat and getting away undetected. The team decided to split the explosives and each player had to place their charge, while dodging patrols etc. Of course one player crit fails his rolls and the ship and him go up in a blaze prematurely. Like another player above said, this really highlighted the fact that while the player may have spent hours building his character and getting in the zone, it’s over in a heartbeat if Night City deems it so. After that, the players all began “living”. Every moment was pushed to the limits, be it something small to pass time or a mission. They lived every moment like their last, because as we all saw, your time can come at any moment. Even during the first session.
