[QUOTE="Rob Toth, post: 2974903, member: 42451"] [b]Bento, Don't Be a Hero[/b] Hey there, Bento, sorry for the late reply. All of your ideas sound solid to me. You could literally just watch an episode of any show you want and substitute the villain/motivation of your choice. (e.g., for Scooby Doo: Satanists are trying to scare away the owners of an old theme park because they need the space for some big ceremony/chamber of horrors. Or it's the site of an ancient Kreelak burial ground that the lizard-men are trying to reclaim.) Plus, everybody knows the characters and they've got an excuse to work as a team without any maneuvering on your part. If you want something more specific, here's my discarded idea for a Gen Con demo. (If Bento's players are reading, stop now!) The players are celebrity guests on the Love Boat who stumble onto a smuggling ring: The ship's doctor is a war criminal who has been using the cruise ship to send squads of Sasquatch to Suramerico. Once there, the creatures will serve as an unstoppable army for his fellow fascists as they try to take over the continent. The players are rolling along, piecing all that together--when a giant wave hits the ship and flips it over. Now the team must make it "up" to the bottom of the boat to escape, while saving as many passengers, and killing as many Sasquatch, as they can along the way. If the celeb approach doesn't work for you, the players could also be the ship's crew, and the bad guys could be guests. Ultimately I dumped this because I couldn't find complete maps for a cruise ship, and I didn't feel comfortable winging it with the engine-room layout. But you could probably suss all that out with a few viewings of "Poseidon Adventure." Hope this helps! Take care, Rob [/QUOTE]
