[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 9262479, member: 29398"] Various music-inspired elements to adventures and characters I've run/seen: [B]Stairway to Heaven:[/B] party has to find, then climb an invisible staircase to a mansion in the clouds. [B]Highway to Hel:[/B] party goes into the Norse land of the dead (run by the goddess Hel) to, in theory, haul out a soul that got stuck there. [B]Ghosts of the Heceta Head: [/B]straight from the song; party has to rescue one ghost from the unwelcome attacks of a bunch of other ghosts, at a lighthouse. [B]Eye of the Demon: [/B]I got a 4-adventure arc from the two lines "Break the silence of the storm, find the key to the seven winds". A player in my game has a character based entirely on the Pink Floyd song "Careful With That Axe, Eugene". Many of our characters have appropriate theme songs, ranging everywhere from classical ("Flight of the Valkyries") to movie numbers ("You've Got to Pick a Pocket or Two") to 60's pop ("Do You Believe in Magic") to then-contemporary rock ("Learn How to Live" [Billy Squier]) to roaring metal ("Drink" [Alestorm]). One song that really cries out to be done as an adventure that I haven't done yet: Dio's [B]Sacred Heart[/B].
