Message: <blockquote data-quote="Runesong42" data-source="post: 1913782" data-attributes="member: 10578">Hey all,I am currently running a somewhat unique campaign (at least I like to think so) that involves a running theme of Past, Modern, and (soon to be owned)Future d20.To cut to the end, the MAJOR villain is going to be a sentient computer.  The PC's will soon learn that their reality and the realm of Shadow are both digital recreations -- they have been passing back and forth in order to solve the bigger mystery -- and that "reality" is not what they think at all...In reality, they have been 'taken' by an alien race (to be determined) for study. All is well until their onboard computer gains self-awareness.  Once aware, the computer begins to "take over the world", in this case the "world" being the ship, and ergo, the ship's computers.  Since the computers are running two simulations (one Modern, one Past, the Past having been set up by a sympathetic NPC to hide the PC's), the now-sentient computer perceives these as "the world" as well.  NOW...The PC's are eventually going to awaken and become aware of their situation, with a twist.  For some reason, the computer decides it's going to go suicidal and take everyone with it.  It will be up to the PC's to deal with the 'virus' and delete it before the ship goes boom.  They can best do this from inside the computer, and take it out d20 style. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Since, in the computer, anything is possible, what kind of monster should I use as the ultimate BBEG?  I pondered using an uber-demon, since demons are going to be an ongoing theme in the digital world (demons will be viral minions of the sentient computer)... what I'm looking for, is a bad guy that 3 PC's can attack simultaneously and have it give them a go, much like every BBEG you fight in computer/video game RPG's.Any ideas would be appreciated. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
