[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 914743, member: 63"] It's a funny idea, but you'd need the right group, and I know for a fact that my group isn't the right one. I tried something [i]slightly[/i] similar a few years back. The villain was a connosieur of the arts, and needed leverage against the PCs, so he lured the PC bard to huge musical audition (this was two years before American Idol, I swear), and kidnapped her. The rest of the PCs got to fight the villains henchmen, an a cappela group of bards, who sang as they fought. The group's name was Aural Pleasure. After experiencing great pain and suffering from Aural Pleasure, the fight reached a climax and the PCs came out victorious. Among the belongings of the group they found a small booklet with a map of the villain's mansion and numbers keyed to different doorways, secret passages, and teleportation circles. The secret doors and teleporters could only be activated by singing two lines of a particular song, and the song you sang determined where you got teleported. The songs were adapted from Eminem, Metallica, Will Smith, and a lot of other contemporary groups, but in my world they were actually things like epic ballads (Wild Wild West), Royal Court Lineages (Slim Shady), and Orcish lullabies (Enter Sandman). The problem was, I thought all the songs were obvious, but half the group didn't recognize them, and one player outright refused to sing. It was pretty cool that Aural Pleasure had a flying carpet, and you controlled it by singing. They attacked the guy who was singing, and they lost control of the carpet in mid-flight. :) [/QUOTE]
