[QUOTE="Greg K, post: 5283318, member: 5038"] I've been lucky. with my players For fantasy, I can create the setting stuff, the initial adventure hook, and the players take the game in their own direction. Occassionally, I throw in some side adventures and hooks and things for continuity, but they do all kinds of crazy stuff- set out to find a dryad to get the uptight druid "laid", help the barbarian gain status in his clan, start a revolution.... For more modern stuff and supers, yeah, I have to feed them adventures, but still they take off and turn them upside down with the rp. For example, on the first mission of a monster hunter game, two of the characters worked for a government agency. One was a very obese computer nerd and tended to stay in the van. While searching for a creature kidnapping kids, they encountered the third PC a college student, who runs a "wall of wierd". The drugged the student and hid him in the van so he wouldn't interfere. Then, the student came to as they combat guy threw a bag with a child sized goblin tied up inside. The player had the student go off on the two agents for kidnapping kids and accusing the obese character of eating them (refering to the agent as the"Whale" which stuck). The whole table was in stiches and the nickname stuck. After the second session, the player of "Whale" asked to have an adventure where he would have to come out of the van to meet a girl he only new online. He rp'd the insecurity of meeting her and the players ran with it. [/QUOTE]
