[QUOTE="Andrew D. Gable, post: 1601409, member: 4144"] What songs' lyrics give you ideas for adventures, stories, whatever? I've gotten a few from Widespread Panic: [url=http://www.everydaycompanion.com/chords/songs/dont_tell_the_band.asp][b]Don't Tell the Band[/b][/url][b]:[/b] 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. [url=http://www.everydaycompanion.com/lyrics/songs/hatfield.asp][b]Hatfield[/b][/url][b]:[/b] 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". [url=http://www.everydaycompanion.com/chords/songs/henry_parsons_died.asp][b]Henry Parsons Died[/b][/url][b]:[/b] I can't quite come up with one, but there's gotta be another Ravenloft NPC in here. Any from songs by other artists? [/QUOTE]
