Hook: PCs are approached by a desperate duergar who has, somehow, freed him/herself from the psychic enslavement that the mind flayers still hold on the duergar (if only as a hereditary "psychic virus"). Perhaps one of the players can play this duergar. The PCs then go on a quest to free the duergar.As far the victim thing goes, [USER=6801228]@Chaosmancer[/USER] , I think your problem is more a matter of overly connecting fantasy and reality. Let fantasy be an imaginative playground in its own right, without having to strain everything through the sieve of real-life ideology and ethics. The whole point of role-play is to take on a role within an imaginary world, to engage in the world as it is, not as our world is. Sure, there are symbolic elements, but being too concrete about them leads to over "allegorizing" and leads us out of fantasy immersion.</blockquote>
