  1. I was running a sci fi game, setting based on the Master of Orion computer games.  The Antareans had almost extincted the Humans before vanishing, so things were rebuilding from near-zero but climbing quickly.  Recovery and growth was teh constant goal, and the PCs were an elite special operations crew.    They had enough hometime to see the effects of advancement - a crewmember with a prosthetic arm was transplanted a cloned arm, the farmer planted a field of the new high yield grain, etc.  

     

    Targetted genetic sequencing was discovered, a way to repair flaws or weaknesses (as 10 XP of bonus CHA) was announced, and one character's special needs daughter was approached to be an early adopter.  PC said no, and that was mildly surprising but understandable.  The discovery goes mainstream and the military wants all its soldiers to benefit from the improvement, so of course, they want to start with their elite special operations crew.

     

    Except that they all refused, to the point of resigning from service.  I was so dumbfounded, I couldn't backtrack orfix things.  It killed the campaign.
