What songs' lyrics give you ideas for adventures, stories, whatever?
I've gotten a few from Widespread Panic:
Don't Tell the Band: sort of Ravenloftian, a more-or-less immortal musician who's present at several disasters and such. You can't go wrong with a song whose last verse is about the Restaurant at the End of the Universe and the Great Prophet Zarquon. This song's really probably more an NPC than anything, though.
Hatfield: a massive drought strikes some area. The people try everything to get rain to the parched soil, eventually calling on a druid or something. Of course, he's a toxic/twisted sort, and causes flooding. The PCs have to stop him. This song actually did inspire part of my homebrew, a cult of the rain god that believes the "filth of mankind must be washed away".
Henry Parsons Died: I can't quite come up with one, but there's gotta be another Ravenloft NPC in here.
Any from songs by other artists?
