Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ydars" data-source="post: 4582974" data-attributes="member: 62992">I always wanted to run a fantasy scenario based on forbidden planet; i.e. that an item in the PCs general environment feeds off of human dreams and creates very powerful monsters that serve the unconscious desires of the PCs and NPCs without any of them realising. I would call this scenario "City of the Dead Gods" because the inhabitants of the town/city might come to believe that ancient gods were walking amongst them at night. This could actually be used as a nice backdrop to a campaign because it would make the PCs home base town/city a bit more interesting. You could really have some fun with it; for example if the baker secretly loves the barmaid at a local tavern, his thought-monster might kill someone who insults her leading to an interesting mystery. Or maybe his avatar goes all King-Kong and climbs a tower with her in its arms whilst the mages battle the creature and try to rescue her.  I can see many ways of dragging this out for many sessions without any explanation of what is going on. It would also be fun to get the PCs in trouble when their thought-monsters go on the rampage and act out their desires and they get the blame. Imagine if the PCs were trying to buy something but give up when the price is too high and find out something smashed the shop open that night and stole it. "What do you mean you were asleep when this happened citizen! Can you prove your whereabouts last night?"</blockquote>
