[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 8168185, member: 4534"] I was running a Hell on Earth campaign which is an alternative future post apocalyptic setting based on the Deadlands game. The players were working for a Salt Lake City that was soon to be at war with the mutants from Las Vegas and the cyborg army from Denver, who had formed an alliance against SLC, and had been tasked with finding the Nuclear Football from Air Force One which was lost 17 years ago during World War III. Which they found. A funny thing happened on the way back to SLC. One of the PCs decided the leaders of SLC were evil and could not be trusted with a nuclear device. And while they weren't exactly good, they [I]were[/I] engaged in a war with mutants who wanted to kill all humans and cyborgs that wanted to enslave all humans. But the lesser of three evils was still too evil and he tried to destroy the Nuclear Football. A fight ensues, grenades are thrown by other PCs, the "pacifist" PC is killed, and low and behold the Football is Swiss cheese. They're sent on another mission to find parts to repair the Football but I had decided it wasn't going to be enough. At the end of the campaign there's a climatic fight between the Mutant/Cyborg armies and SLC. The leaders of SLC launch a nuke aimed directly at the bulk of the cyborg army but it lands harmlessly on a nearby mountain top. Well, not so harmlessly in the long term. But in the short term the combined forces of Vegas and Denver crush SLC killing and/or capturing the 10,000 souls who lived there. All because mid way through the campaign one PC decided nobody could be trusted with a nuclear weapon. [/QUOTE]
