[QUOTE="ErichDragon, post: 1471111, member: 2719"] An idea I stole from these boards about six months ago (can't remember whose it was or I'd give credit). The PCs are a party of Drow elves. They are sent to destroy an Illithid Inquisition that is performing a ritual that will do something really horrible to the Drow city. All of the PCs are from a noble house and the city is pining all of their hopes on them (you can fill in whatever plot devices work to make this so). Anyway, each pre-gen drow character also has a personal agenda that you communicate to them one-on-one. Some ideas I used: The Priestess of Lloth character was tasked by her Matron to make sure the Male Fighter character did not return. He had insulted a Female of the Priestess' family and went unpunished because his Mother has Lloth's high favor. Oh, and it had to look like an accident so none of the others could bear witness. The Male/Rogue was to steal a particularly powerful Rod of Tentacles from the Priestess as a gift for his younger Sister. Anyway, stuff like that. I also ran a 'Reverse Dungeon' as a one-shot on two seperate occassions and got a good response from both groups. [/QUOTE]
