I'm looking to see what people have done with the mission "Stealth Train" from Crash Priority to make it a little more their own.
Specifically, the mid- to late-sections seem to fall apart, mainly when the busload of picketing citizens show up. I think I get the gag (anything that can go wrong does, and "hey, we need more people to get in the middle of a potential firefight," both of which are PARANOIA staples), but it just seems...uninspired somehow? Or like it could devolve from a Straight mission rather quickly (and with lots of laserbolts flying).
Mind you, Straight isn't everybody's style anyway, but I ran my first 4 missions as a sort of Straight mini-campaign that went over extremely well. The players I have immediately picked up on the art of subtle treason and traitorousness, so I think that's more to our liking.
/end tangent
Anybody change up the mission in any way? How'd it turn out?
