[QUOTE="The Oracle, post: 45919, member: 1633"] Turn out lights when not in tactical combat. Use sound effects as described previously. Get a metal can and a hammer and strike the can with the hammer under the table to simulate the sounds of metal clanking. Give the party only six seconds to say what they are going to do or lose initiative (each). This will drive them crazy! They will get more stressed out over this than any other one thing you do. Make the interior be reflective surfaces, so they are always shooting at things which are actually somewhere down the hall. Make the shadow strike through walls, then fade behind them. They can't get to it! This drives them crazy too. Make them separate somehow. Then separate the group. If one half dissappears from communication, the other half will freak out. and there are other ways...you should use the maps from Space Hulk, they are the perfect shape. If you can find that old game. In my meanest moments, I think I will let my party face a ship full of genestealers... [/QUOTE]
