I want them to have fun.@ SuStel: If you could be specific in what parts / details / aspects you hated, that might be helpful. Thanks in advance.@ Three_Haligonians: The Spell of Linked Protection which gets cast on the party will cause them to re-set 1 minute after any one of them dies. That gives enough time for a heroic sacrifice ending, but (hopefully) not enough for the dead guy(s) to get bored.@ Baron Opal: Multi-level building would be okay if they started inside -- or if it were a space station, so going outside was possible but very hazardous.- - -Someone elsewhere brought up the opening scene of Hellboy, and that seemed like a perfect fit. Allied assault forces could include a very broad range of interesting characters, and of course everyone loves shooting Nazis. The PCs would start in a hidden location with a map of the surrounding area, a pile of weapons and equipment, and a deadline: the ritual will be completed in 1 hour. Exposition, background, NPCs chat, NPC casts protection spell, and then everything goes horribly wrong. A wave of horrific energy passes over the group, and all the NPCs fall down, then slowly shamble to their feet. Roll for initiative: you're surrounded by zombies.- - -One thing CoC doesn't detail: how much Sanity should death cost? There should be a range -- decapitation would cost less, being burned alive would cost a lot.Each death could also impose a phobia.More ideas? Thanks, -- N</blockquote>
