Little update!
So we started the game, we play after work in little 1 1/2 hour sessions so doesn't move a long super quick but it is quite fun!
In terms of the prep I did, I really managed to make the "app" and it was GREAT! They absolutely loved it. Initially I was a bit worried they might think it is too much gadget for them but they were really impressed and loved it.
What I did:
I made a simply HTML website with different folders for each of the players. When they arrived at the Elysium, I handed out QR Codes they could scan and that would lead them to their part of the website (a little face recognition gif and it worked perfectly xD). In the app the would find their room description and they would all have like a voucher or another personal info and an ad for something.
In the navbar they could see a list of guests they know, access the Keys personal assistant and I made a map of the station with a list of all the locations.
Yeah, so big success on there! Obviously this is for personal use only so I used images from Google and won't be able to share what I've done, but if anyone is interested to see more, let me know!
I also made a showreel video with different ad clips for the amenities on site and I entered one for Pandora in there as well. I have it run in the background while playing so it kind of sticks in the heads of players for later on.
All of that went really well and so far it has been going well, even though they start to lack combat and explosions. In the last session they have finally encountered the first two Phantasms (Love interest and Monster sighting), so they are getting some action now ;)
They do want to kill Kane Zahphol though because he made a nasty comment to them during the opening gala. Did that happend with any of your players and if so, how did you handle it?
Also, how did you get them to accept the changes to their starship? I have a pilot technomancer in my group and he built a lot of the ship himself so he was like "Nah, won't take any upgrades from you guys" xD Not a big deal anyway, but just figuring, it does seem "too good to be true" comme offer...
Anyway, great adventure so far, lots of potential!
