I have an idea for and interesting Dungeon Crawl and I would love people's opinions. It would be a mini campaign that was probably last 8 sessions for so. Players would make seasoned characters who get extra starting XP and would have to answer the following question
1. What was your childhood like?
2. Who do you call family?
3. Where do you call home?
4. What is your greatest fear?
5. What is your most joyous moment?
6. Please detail one moment of victimization your charcter has experienced.
7. Please explain two moments of villainy and regret caused by your character.
8. Your character just recently experience a near death experience, what was it?
The catch will be that the characters all died during their near death experience and they are now making their way through the 9 circles of hell, one level at a time. The information from their backgrounds would constantly be used throughout the dungeon crawl as they face their mistakes.
For example, if someone's background said they deeply regretted killing a innocent old man, one of the rooms they would encounter would have the old man in it.
Many of the rooms would also put them in a different location temporarily. If someone said that a two-bedroom Cottage in the woods is what they call home, then the players name enter a room within the dungeon to find themselves in that same Cottage while it starts to burn down.
I think that many of the combat encounters would also be against their loved ones or other people from their backgrounds. In addition, I would also like to connect there backgrounds when ever possible. For example maybe one characters victimization was caused by another's villainy.
I would love to know what you would do differently or add to it. Also would love to know what kind of encounters you would add. I definitely would like an encounter where they have to pay the ferryman to carry them across. I would also love to have a few good old dungeon style traps and maybe a riddle or two.
