A message of love and unity

[headquarters]

Last session was good fun and I feel that there was plenty of opportunity to get shooting time going .

The infighting was vicious and did not improve the partys tactical position however.

There is little use in putting any blame on anyone in particular - pretty much everyone has been a fu***ng basta** against the others from time to time.Some will point to teh GM and say -"he put me up to it!" Or in other words society is to blame and I am not responsible ..

in either /all cases :

" lets not argue and bicker about who killed who ..."

Bad blood from 5 seasons of murderous campaigning with everyone trying their best to topple the others .Backstabbing as an industry,paranoia,fear,hostility and of course-endless bickering....
The cost of life.. ( well ,playercharacter life,but still ..)

But the way I see it there is now 4 NEW characters in my campaign ,and none of them know the last "old hand" ( deCorba ) very well.

You got the young and brash aristocrat "Junior",
the blasè showman with the big ego ,
the scared academic with the scrawny,pale arms ,
you have the sixgun toting bluecollar grease monkey and
the seasoned war veteran warlord - a survivor of pepperspray and mustard gas attacks .

On paper it is a great team .Skilled in many different areas.

Everyone is pretty much new to eachother.

The slates are clean.

In other words :

It is a great opportunity to start building mutual trust and respect for eachothers PCs and get some bonafide camaraderie going .Meaning :
sticking your neck out for a buddy
giving up something you want for yourself for the good of all
supporting your pals when they are hard pressed
and for God`s sake - stop shooting eachother to pieces with the "supporting fire " moves you guys are pulling !
(see the thread "small unit tactical cohesion and combat rules knowledge " )

As a GM I always lay out pitfalls for the players - it is a favourite past time.It can be anything from the one cool gun inbetween the other piecs of junk ,a secret offer of power and riches if you just change your allegiances,an opportunity to oppress one of the other PCs with impunity..

It is never done because I enjoy bickering and bitter feuds so much .
( Although I do enjoy them a little ) .

But rather these are the challenges that your PCs face in ADDITION to all the NPCs charging you with guns blazing .

Take a moment to reflect on this before your PCs next actions.

They may come back to haunt you .
