[QUOTE="Prest0, post: 2283223, member: 13621"] You could always pull a bait and switch. Get them into town thinking it's about the reunion (the old friends could meet up beforehand), then hit them with weird stuff going on in town. Unfortunately, you can't lay much groundwork in four hours, so it's going to have to be a pretty simple adventure. Not much in the way of twists and turns, or you'll never finish. Hopefully that four hours doesn't include character creation. Especially since you'll be spending an indordinate amout of time explaining what the modern feats and skills do during this introductory game. Would they be open to playing pregenerated characters? That would give you a lot more time to devote to playing. As far as adventure ideas are concerned here are a few: -The old "in" crowd is using the reunion as a way of recruiting new members into their cult. -The kid everyone used to pick on has decided it's payback time. The punch is spiked, and he plans on sacrificing all his old classmates to a blood demon. -A select few students don't seem to have aged a day since high school. But they sure are pale... -The boy's bathroom is haunted by the ghost of a classmate who committed suicide their senior year. With all his classmates gathered together, the spirit tries to communicate with the living about the real cause of his death. Hope that helps. (I liked your idea about the coach, too.) You might also want to check out our [URL=http://www.12tomidnight.com/setting/campaign.htm]Pinebox[/URL] campaign setting, since it's free and you might be able to mine it for other ideas. You might also download issue 3 of our free company newsletter, the [URL=http://www.12tomidnight.com/Menu/downloads.htm]Journal of American Paranormal Research[/URL], which has a free adventure that would make a good "bait and switch" for your reunion group. Good luck, and let us know how your adventure goes. Hopefully you'll convert some new players to the fun of d20 Modern! [/QUOTE]
