This is a GM discussion thread so NOTE Spoilers ahead!!
I'll be running 2 groups through this and just had session 1 with one of them.
Players made their own characters, but took the backstories from the Pregens to link to Professor.
LOVE the city map and a couple of others, but not the others so much. So I added a bar and others for my taste as well as getting the players more in the mood.
Over half my groups are vets of SF I and PF II so they were raring to go and it was fun with the slow burn, until the Assassin drone took that fatefull shot (I am thinking afterwards it might have more impact if the Professor is alive and gets KIAed in the bar or just outside rather than just a holo, but we will see.
Party was all reved up for their first SF II Official fight when they were like what a long chase scene. But they got into the spirit and that went well. WE RPed a lot to get into character so we ended when they got to Agent Z's off and on home base, saw the smoke then the Assassin drone go to the shadowy figure then crash just in front of the smog bank......
So session 1 went real well for everyone, I did end up scrweing up the chase scens as I forgot to move the drone forward in every chase event, but we survived....
I think instead of adding a level to the adventure I'll add in the 2 SF II scenarios Collisions Wake then Invasions Edge, so they will get to level 3 or 4 by the end of this, should work pretty well.
So how are your Metal City Murder games going, any problems or things you did and added for extra flavor?

I haven't had a chance to play it yet, but I did see some new people posting on Reddit having problems with the chases since the SF2e GM core is not out yet. Just in case other new GMs see this I wanted to post a link to the PF2e chase rules on the Archive of Nethys.
One thing I'm looking to do is use the Infinity Deck in the game. It's mentioned in chapter two, and there is a chance to use the deck if you have it. I was thinking of maybe using the Infinity Deck during session zero or while the PCs are waiting for Tier 99 Profesor to show up. On each player's turn during the card game, have them start their turn by telling some of their character's background story or asking other PCs about their backgrounds.
Yep, I have the deck, not sure I'll use it yet, it did'nt really "WOW" me at the moment honestly.
2nd group is starting today for this module, very curious on how they go about things compared to the other group.
