If they did, I’d say something like this:“I can run this as a standard friendly GM, and with your optimized characters you’ll stomp all over it and have no issues. Or, I can run this within the rules and scenario, but playing it as nasty as I can. Up to you which you want”.Virtually every group went with the second option and we had a ton of fun. I used readied actions to dodge alpha strikes, did hit, run and heal tactics to waste enemies encounter, climbed high up walls and shot missiles, did a lot of hiding and a lot of running. Never killed a character but downed quite a few, and I got good feedback, so for me, that worked.For a campaign, it would be too tiring and against my style to keep up. I will play hard some sessions, and when running a horror campaign, especially against a highly intelligent adversary, I typically go no-holds-barred at the end (so, quite often, everyone dies … but dramatically!) but I don’t think I could do it consistently.</blockquote>
