[QUOTE="Janx, post: 5664660, member: 8835"] I work at home now. The room I use as my home office, at one time, was the gaming room. At one point during a campaign, while it was still an empty room, we held a live action session wherein the player who's PC was the sole survivor of the Battle of the Line versus the elves was interrogated about the outcome of that battle. So, you could say, I used the place I work AS the actual set for an adventure. We had a chair, a table, with a light (to shine in his face). I left him a note card explaining where he found himself and the constraints of the situation (that this was not a jailbreak scene wherein he could dig through my sheetrock to escape). We then turned the temp up, and let him stew in 20 minute intervals before I and various players went in as interrogators to ask him questions about a battle he didn't know the outcome to. it actually turned out well as was a memorable role playing scene. The look of shock on his face when I finally asked "What happened at the Battle of the Line and why did the elves surrender!?" was priceless. it was a nice epilogue to him aiming his ship at the elven flagship and me calling a "Cut!" to end the session the week before.
