City adventure ideas?

[Dannyalcatraz]

Also, what can happen in a city very much depends on where it is…

some ideas I've used for some changes of pace

• A secret cult of good-aligned folk, out to do good deeds in secret.
• A legal sporting event which is honest, and fair... and thinks the PCs look like good participants.
• Questionable goals from a patron. Once they are done, the benefit of them becomes visible as a particularly unreasonable guildmaster is revealed to be a spy or chaos cultist or other form of lowlife aimed for a rapid shortening of his life.
• Extraction of several books of magic from the home of a deceased notable wizard, whose family are hyper religious, and opposed to use of wizardly magic... they're planning a book burning.

The old AEG GM Toolbox had some great tables in it, think it is on DriveThu

And people say Australia is dangerous. Do you know what your chances of being mauled by a bear in Australia are? 0. 0 chance.

I've used The Warriors at least three times over the years. Maybe more, but 3 I can remember for certain.

FWIW, Deliverance is another movie with a similar core plot concept, but set in the wilderness.

And The Naked Prey is one of the better human hunting movies out there.

I've never seen Deliverance. I don't know how, it's a cultural touchstone for the time period, but I've never seen it.

I am worried that you know so much about the human hunting movie genre.

But Dingoes are another story

Thing about a city is there are so many conflicts and jurisdictions that can generate plot hooks.
Some examples:

• Law - in a fantasy this can get complex, you have guild law, civil, church, nobles and so on.
• Magic - Religion vs Mage, Schooled vs Unschooled, the casting of magic in general, dumping of magical waste.
• Weapons - Are bows and swords allowed or limited to certain groups.
