[QUOTE="gribble, post: 3045658, member: 12430"] The best shock I've ever had was actually in a Star Wars game run by Lancelot... it was a little unusual in that we were imperials during the early stages of the rebellion. Anyway, in a climactic module we were chasing down the big bad, who was trying to destroy a large part (maybe all - my memory is a little vague) of a major imperial planet. We had various clues, that the big bad was an imperial officer, very good at diplomacy and a good pilot being the main ones. Now the ISB agent in the party (a force adept) had a weird implant that channeled a dead sith lord that we pilfered from some cultisits, and now and then (when he rolled a 1) he'd be taken over my the sith lord and, frankly, go a little insane. I was convinced it was him behind everything, and almost had the party fall in line behind me, but boy was I wrong... Lancelot can probably give a much better perspective on this, but in the end it turned out the big bad was... MY CHARACTER (a female imperial officer/pilot)! In one of the early modules of the campaign, she had seduced the son of a famous retired imperial officer, in the hopes of advancing her career/status. It turned out she was infected with some sort of alien parasite that had been controlling her ever since (and it wasn't just a GM-fiat thing, we had plenty of clues as to what was going on - including a saving thorw I had to make after seducing the son - that we all forgot at the time). I have very fond memories of the campaign (it also had one of the funniest scenes I've ever experienced in my life - I've never seen so many grown men reduced to tears and unable to speak for laughing), but I think it ended at just the right time, even if it was due to real life interferring. I'm not sure what else Lancelot had planned, but it would have been hard to top the session where it was revealed my character had been behind all the rebel shennagins! [/QUOTE]
