G-man in halflife style. Or just some series of clues which don't make that much sense. The player can become fixated with doing things they wouldn't usually do if you capture the interest. That or just shock the player by setting fire to lots of things. Towns, islands...people, character sheets. I find the best way to spark interest is drop a mystery in. G-man in halflife style.

Half the table was yelling at this particular PC to kill her while he ummed and erred ... i started penalising him by skipping his turn and kept the combat running to keep the realism in place which just got everything shouting even more ... he was the only one with ranged abilities so he was the only one that could take the shot to kill her haha .... damn i love being evil ...
