In your scenarios do you use the science has gone wrong trope? Side note: Nicolas Cage is a terrible geneticist.

Close. My GASLIGHT "campaign" allowed Science that had not yet been disproven. This allowed the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics to be ignored.

Wow, Nicolas Cage has never looked better than in that picture. Quite an improvement over the real thing. Dan

Yes! I have a gaming scenario were My team of specialist are tracking down a scientist that is conducting genetic and cybernetic experiments on out of the way space colonies.

Anytime the cat jumps up on the table someone inevitably brings up "And from deep in an underground German laboratory, the Hun unleashes it's latest Wunderwaffe" ;)

I use science gone wrong in real life--cell phones and laptops, mainly. Robocalls, spam and pop-up ads. It's much too depressing for recreation.

Amen ! That would make life a lot easier without all that !!!!

Science gone wrong is perfect as a VSF scenario.

@Timbo, know the feeling :)

I used to have a science gone wrong job as a test engineer. Keep sciencing it until it all goes wrong, then quantify how, when, where, and why it all went wrong.
