WINNERSH TRIANGLE posted:'Hey hero,' the Orc Wizard says. 'Wanna try some Snow Crash?' That reminds me of something from last Saturday's game of Dark Heresy. The party, consisting of an Arbitrator and two assassins with an attached NPC astropath, was investigating some techno-heresy, and had traced a renegade Magos' cybernetic daemonhost to a slaughterhouse in one of the hive's uglier districts. After a few blatant hints, they realized that there was some suspicious psy-nullifier activity within the building's Mechanicus shrine, but that if they tipped their hand too soon, their target would blow the building to poo poo and try to flee the planet. The session sort of started to flag there, with everyone giving me these weird, blank stares. As it turned out, none of them had any idea how to handle an investigation. The next part of the conversation was just priceless:  (me): "Come on, haven't you guys ever seen a police procedural?" : "A what now?" : "You know, like Law & Order, Criminal Minds, NCIS, etc?" : "Nope." : "Never." : "I avoid those like the plague." : "So, not one of you has any ideas for finding your guy?" : "..." : "*sigh* Okay, here's a thought: imagine you're looking for this guy so you can score some weed off of him."They found that fucker within five minutes.
