So in the time I've spent on these boards I've heard lots of really awesome campaign ideas. The ones I've found most intriguing (mostly because I've never been involved with anything like them) is the 'Ole Bait-and-Switch. The fantasy characters who suddenly wake up to realize they were in the Matrix. The d20 Modern norms who suddenly become mutants. The campaign the experiences an apocolypse mid-campaign and continues on as a post-apoc.
My big concern over trying this out with my group is a fear of a negative reaction. Some people HATE being tricked, and would be pretty upset if a campaign suddenly did an unexpected 180.
So how would YOU react? Have you ever had it done to you, or done it to others? How did it go down? Do your answers vary based on how the switch is done, and if yes, how so?
Any thoughts?
