>>6063830My favorite conveyance of threat is very bluntly saying that the player is fucked. I assume that prior to this OHSHIT moment, the GM will have been plainly presenting the monsters in a typical dramatic fashion (ie. on even ground). In Vampire the Masquerade, there's a central figure called Cain and his character sheet in its entirety reads YOU LOSE. Just nakedly stating a number or showing an image like this (pic related is the Sa Matra assault if you are unprepared for it in Star Control 2 (I think you reviewing the game's writing would be extremely detailed)) is extremely good.
Also Souv, what Quests are you *enjoying* so far? Not just reading, but reading with expectation?
