[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 5392456, member: 63"] It would help if I knew your endgame. Where are you planning for stuff to go? What are the life-and-limb stakes? Is it actual Groundhog Day, where Bill Murray wakes up fine every morning. Or is it Daybreak, where Taye Diggs wakes up in his bed bleeding from the gunshot wound he got yesterday (the bandages and stitchings of which have magically vanished)? Is there any way they can leave items for themselves? You're going to want to give various NPCs lists of secrets and things they really like or dislike, so the PCs can take advantage of preternatural knowledge. 'Oh, petunias. My favorite! Sure, you can borrow my sword of wounding.' Depending on the tone you're going for, you could highlight some of the daily, glossed-over tragedies, like in Groundhog's Day with the dying old man. Maybe have some sort of traveling sideshow in town, and one act is a guy who's a "mind reader" and will use normal cold read tricks to tell the audience about themselves. Make him kind of a douchebag, so the PCs can one-up him once they know everything about the crowd. Also, perhaps there's a jar full of beans owned by an old crotchety retired adventurer, and he'll give any person one chance to guess the number of beans. If you get it right, he'll pass down his lucky hat. [/QUOTE]
