[QUOTE="CherubKid, post: 5387404, member: 21687"] My friend and I have always wanted to base an adventure around the plot of "Pitch Black" -- while transporting a deadly assassin, PCs are stranded on a world of hostile beasts, and are about to be plunged into cold & darkness. I ran an adventure once that centered on intrigue during "The Festival of Tears," a musical competition -- with both a professional division and an amateur's night. The Players were encouraged (with a minimum of strong-arming) to prepare a song of some sort that suited their character... it could be a pre-recorded pop song, or they could sing on their own. But it had to be a sad song (hence, the Tears). :( It was awesome -- we ended up with (pre-recorded) songs from Linkin Park, Evanescence, and Neil Diamond! All followed, of course, by Perform rolls! One player chose "On top of spaghetti... I lost my poor meatball" for her low-INT fighter, and sang a cappella. I also used a handful of songs from the O Brother Where Art Thou soundtrack for the NPCs. The hardest part was talking one of the players out of using "Dust in the Wind" since (unbeknownst to anyone) I had planned that to be the winner's anthem. [/QUOTE]
