We're all familiar with the cassic "Tavern Meeting" scenario - but I figured that we've all got some adventure hook ideas breweing that we'd like to share with the world.
Here's the format:
Title
Environment - where does the hook take place?
Background - set up the hook.
Synopsis - describe the hook.
Comments - add any additional comments here.
I'll start...
Visiting the Dead
Environment - graveyard (preferably urban but any graveyard will do)
History - All of the pc's happen to be visiting the graveyard to honor their deceased relatives on the anniversary of their deaths - all of them died on the same day.
Synopsis - The pc's soon realize that something is wrong when the graves are empty, disheveled, or otherwise look tampered with. While investigating they are attacked by undead.
Comments - This one would be a great way to start a campaign where all the pc's meet each other for the first time. They have to work together to survive the undead and they feel drawn together since they all have various connections to the dead of this graveyard. The morbid anniversary could lead to a greater plot, an omen towards a darker evil (cult, coming cataclysm, etc.) or just plain happenstance.
And any undead could do. whetehr zombies or skeletons, wraiths, or spectres, it could work for any level.
And of course you could really begin to freak out the players when their loved ones are part of the attack.
P.S. Thanks for the inspiration, Mr. Romero.
Hey Timault.
A few months back, there used to be a thread called 1,000 adventure ideas, or something like that. I'll bet it's in the archives, adn you can find it with either a random search, or a slick e-mail to the Duke.
I used to dig on that post. Maybe you could revive it?
Gotcha, Chris. Thanks a lot.
