Adventures from Songs

[the Jester]

Has anyone ever based an adventure on a song?

I've used many song-inspired villains, plots, etc... the treacherous wizard's apprentice, inspired by Wrapped Around Your Finger, by the Police, for example. Anyone else do this? Is it corny?

I had a Mutants and Mastermind character based off of Veteran of a 1000 pshychic wars.

Hey! That's my line!

To answer your question, I have used songs for inspiration. Anything for inspiration is good! It is only corny of that's what you were trying to achieve.

Make it a challange. Iron DM,mebbe.

A D&D adventure based on "Hit me baby one more time".
A CoC adventure based on "The real Slim Shady"
A Toon adventures based on anythin by Cannibal Corpse.

An adventure where the party is captured by ogres and forced to pit fight for their amusement?

A CoC adventure based on "The real Slim Shady"

Slim Shady? Nyrlathotep? Some thing with ghost or undead? Slim=emaciated plus Shady=wraith/ghost

A Toon adventures based on anythin by Cannibal Corpse.

Wasn't this Itchy and Scratchy??

These are just off the top of the head...

I created an adventure based on Broadsword by Jethro Tull... and it may turn into a full world creation.

This just reeks of an adventure in a Temple of Loviatar!

I've always thought that Rain King by Counting Crows had a adventure or at least a interesting npc in it.

I could imagine a guy lowly wondering around Sigil with a a putrid cloud of rain covering two blocks around him at all times.

Well, they are the same blokes that used to have Michael Moorecock onstage for guest appearances, the song was named after/influenced by Elric's Stormbringer.

Im showing my age... I'll shutup!

My last character Ive been making up has a number of musical influences, I think it was either 'South of Heaven' by Slayer or 'Closer' by NIN that put the final personality together...

I think that was Hawkmoon... same era, though.

I had a momentary thought about designing an adventure after listening to the last Elvis Costello album. The song in question: "Tear Off Your Own Head (It's a Doll Revolution)."

I just thought of some whacked out wizard making little golem dolls that all rise up and take over the city on some pre-appointed hour... Chucky x 1,000.
