Message: <blockquote data-quote="fireinthedust" data-source="post: 6218707" data-attributes="member: 51930">So I've convinced my office that D&D is a legitimate team building exercise, so pending a level of approval I'll be running a game for my co-workers.  I'm also planning on re-using this for my adult siblings over the holidays, helping the family to play together to stay together.  I'm a counsellor in real life, so I don't mind discussions and working through issues (that's no problem).I need team-building conundrums to add to my module.First-level characters, standard party.  We'll be using 4e for the simplicity, but I can convert ideas.KEY VALUES:  Trust, Sharing work, sharing information, taking a hit for the team, doing your part, etc.  I dunno, I'm making this up as I go along, but as long as they have to work together rather than one outshine the others, that's good, right?SCENARIO:  The Mad King has a dungeon beneath the haunted graveyard.  He went mad when he put on a cursed crown, gathered his loyal legions and went into a specially constructed underground palace/read: dungeon.  The graveyard outside is filled with zombies.  The dungeon is filled with tougher skeletons and his skeleton-mages... and undecided traps and other things.  I've got the graveyard figured out, but I need some ideas:1)  GETTING IN:  Some kind of trap/puzzle to enter the dungeon from the Ruins.  Somehow I'd like it to need several players thinking through a problem, as well as using skills.  Maybe Str to push a rock out of the way, the Rogue picks the locks, the others help...2)  Weird Gygaxian dungeon conundrums:  I don't know why but I can't think these up, let alone ones that emphasize team-building.  Like Indiana Jones-style puzzle-traps.3)  Power Synergy:  while I'm building characters, what's good for them to have?4)  Shared info:  Each player will have blurbs of setting info their PC would know.  I want to make a problem that has a composite of five different knowledge tidbits, so they can... guess a riddle?  Decide a course of action?I could use suggestions of all kinds.  I've got until Christmas.  I can do the creative (and I will rework all ideas to fit) but could use shout-outs and brainstorming to help me kick this off.  Sound okay?</blockquote>
