Message: <blockquote data-quote="cofbaron" data-source="post: 577671" data-attributes="member: 3901">I don’t think any of my players read ENWorld, but just in case: This post is concerning the “Adventures in Moribia” campaign I’m currently running in Athens, Georgia. So, if you’re a player in the game (Jason, Justin, Jon, and/or Karl), hit the back button now, ya punks.Anyway. I’m going to have the climax of my next adventure take place in the middle of a fight between street gangs that sparks into a full-blown riot engulfing half a city. I was wondering if anyone had any specific tips on running an encounter in the middle of a riot. Random people running around looting, attacking each other for no real reason, etc. Any metagame tips would be helpful, too, like good riot music.Background info: Standard fantasy world setting. The PCs are on the trail of a psychopathic killer, who they will encounter in the midst of the riot. The riots are the result of a combination of two main factors: The (unsolved) murders this man has committed, and a flood of illegal magic items into the criminal underworld which has made the street gangs and thieves’ guilds more open and overt about their activities. With gang activity on the rise, the killer's victims (who were in one gang or another) are assumed to have been murdered by rival gangs, increasing tension to a boiling point. I picture a “Gangs of New York”-style shodown, two main gangs facing off against each other in a square, and it quickly spills out into the rest of the city.Thanks in advance,Cecil</blockquote>
