[QUOTE="Rechan, post: 5731218, member: 54846"] These are great suggestions if I was looking for [i]adventures[/i], but they are too low-key for a Campaign. Since a mini-campaign is a game you're going to set aside, the entire scenario can be a little bit more severe and focused. What I mean - or what I like - is something with higher stakes, something that applies to [i]all of them[/i] rather than someone hiring them to dos omething. Examples of ideas I'm kicking around: [b]Hell Scape[/b] The characters were an adventuring group that messed up stopping some Cultists from opening a door to Hell. The result was the group and the cultists had their souls sucked right into Hell. The PCs, being Good, are a problem for Hell's management - souls that do not belong there are resulting in real issues. So a Devil offers the PCs souls a deal: do some tasks for Me, and I'll free you, along with one of your adventuring party who [i]was[/i] secretly evil, and who deserves to be here. If you [i]don't[/i] help us, you can stay here, and we'll release the cultists to go do what they were doing (a lie). [b]The Shadowfell Smash and Grab[/b] The Savior, the Chosen One, the One True General has died. This is serious bad news, because the advancing armies of the enemy will arrive in five days, and the Chosen One had the key to their defeat. So the King's viziers have an idea: retrieve the Chosen One from the land of the dead. It can be done, right? The PCs, lieutenants to the One True General, have been tasked with going into the land of the dead and returning with the soul of The Savior. They must do so within the span of 5 days - any longer and it will be too late for the kingdom, and any longer, and the PCs will have been in the land of the dead too long, dieing themselves, unable to leave. [b]Torpor[/b] The PCs awaken in a strange subterranean lab, lacking equipment, clothing, and memories of their identities and how they came to be here. They must discover who they are, why they are there, and where they are, while trying to escape. [/QUOTE]
