[QUOTE="Maggan, post: 1602093, member: 6616"] [b]Sing me a song[/b] Hmmm... reading the other replies I think I should go back to my Jethro Tull collection and see if I can mine some ideas. For Queen and Country would be a good song and Songs from the Wood a good album to get ideas from. As for basing adventures on songs, I've done that on at least two occasions: 1. The girl with april in her eyes - Chris DeBurgh In the middle of the summer the pcs stumble across a small forested valley, locked in deep winter. Due to ancient magic the seasons are antropomorphic in the valley, and spring has been imprisoned for ten years, unable to bring new life to the valley. Winter has gone mad and roams the forest, blind with rage. A tale of love and loss, despair and hope. 2. The riddle - Nik Kershaw Near a tree by a river, there's a hole in the ground. There the witch Sorrow lies, hidden to the world. But there are forces that would bring her back, to once again rally the trolls and goblins, the poor and oppressed, in a war against the king. But not all is what it seems. Who is the little girl wandering the forest? Who sent the troll mercenaries? And who guards the entrance to the tomb of Sorrow? I also based parts of a campaign on the Genesis classic Supper's Ready, but that's a lot less structured. I'd recommend early Genesis for good inspiration, as well as the album The Trick of the Tail.
