Damn, John, I think you just gave me a woody.  That is
really cool.  And makes me think of Expiration Date with
the ghost traps.

And from Rp:

"But, I also have to admit, when you look closely,
there is some pretty creepy stuff.  Life-size Dolls
always creep me out."

Heh, that's one reason why I love Jailbreak.  Quick
anecdote about one scenario I ran (spoiler follows):




Okay, so this guy Mike is playing a convict.  He explores
the upstairs of the house alone.  He comes across the
clockwork girl in the velvet dress.  I describe her as
looking like she's 14 (I forget what the book says).  So,
the player's getting into the convict role.  "Hey, I've
been in prison all this time.  It's time for me to get some
action here."

So the girl asks if she could play for him.  Being the
uncouth convict, he says, "yeah, baby" and starts touching
her.  Well, she seems real enough, and he's not daunted by
her monomania of playing the violin.  So he decides to lift
up her dress.

I have to look in the book to see if I got this idea from
Greg or not.  Either way, I figured that Uder only wanted a
companion; not a sex toy.  So he only finished the parts of
her that were important.  Here's this convict looking for
the sweet cherry of innocence, and he sees this mish-mash
of gears and pistons under her dress.  The guy didn't even
bother to fight the madness check at that point.

So the other convicts are freaking out because the lone
convict didn't come back down.  They finally get brave
enough to send up two more convicts.  There's the lone guy
just standing in the bedroom stammering.  It was a truly
beautiful scene.  

I'm going to run Jailbreak again at a convention in
Columbia MO.  As usual, I'm stoked.

Kevin
