[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 7805566, member: 177"] I can work with adventure seeds, but I didn't have any that worked for my situation. So, I turned to fiction - definitely committed writers there! Star Trek in the above example, which seemed to fit what you were looking for - a Casanova brings attention from two warring houses, and the PCs are stuck in the middle trying ot make peace. More recently, I refitted Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's [I]Hound of the Baskervilles [/I]for the same party. In both cases, I had some anxiety that one of the PCs who had seen the piece would get it, and give them a fast track to the plot... in each case I made it so knowing the original plot would importantly miss the real problem in my scenario, but you could still jump through much of it knowing how the original ends up. But, in a group where everyone had seen the Trek episode, and two had read the Sherlock Holmes, nobody got that I was lifting entire plots whole cloth. So - what movies, TV, or novels have the kind of scenario you want? Steal it! [/QUOTE]
