Steeliest of the dragons
Adventures, no. Characters, absolutely!
Though I've never played any of them, there are many MANY songs I can think of that would translate beautifully into characters. A few that immediately come to mind:
The Lady of Shallot by Loreena McKennitt (based on the poem of the same name by W.B. Yeats). a half-elvin, or elvin, or human sorceress holed up in her tower watching the Arthurian world go by in her magic mirror but never experiencing life for herself...
Champagne Tastes by Eartha Kitt: a gold-digging rogue/seductress character with very high end taste/style. Could also be generated as an aristocratic maiden (of whatever class you like) looking to nab for a rich husband.
Rhiannon and/or Seven Wonders by Fleetwood Mac. Again elvin, half-elvin, human sorceress/mage character. Rhiannon, of course, directly taken from the mythology. The character from Seven Wonders would be more of an avid "traveler" personality looking to find/experience to "wonders" of the game world.
The Passenger by Siouxie the Banshees. Another rogue type, but I could see it as a ranger or other fighting woman ("She rides and she rides"
from countryside to countryside searching for some man...so, could be a ranger/bounty hunter kind of character.
I did actually create a recurring NPC (idea was inspired off of an ooooold Madonna song, "Dress you up (in my love).") A bard/songstress character, an elf, who was, essentially THE "pop star" in the world who presented huge elaborate concerts with a huge road crew of minstrels of all sorts of instruments, mages/illusionists and other bards to generate lighting, fog and phantasmal effects during her performances. Protecting her from a kidnapping plot (and hunting down/bringing to justice said kidnappers) was a fun small urban side adventure.
