Tell me of your play concepts!

Are you starting Curtain Call fresh, and need to make up a past? Or is this a continuation of the adventures of a long stories group? What past adventures are being immortalized in the written word for you?

Honestly what I want to do most right now is take all the different suggestions for the questions of the group's previous adventure, set them out on some random tables, and generate the prior adventure that way, so we can all work backwards and fill in the gaps.

How has NOBODY posted about this in a while? Here are some of the ones I thought of.

Sky King's Tomb:

The levels line up nicely; plus, getting the story out about the real history of the Quest For Sky would be a nice incentive to make the opera. Also, come on; a chance for a full-opera rendition of Diggy Diggy Hole!

Gatewalkers:

Doing an opera of this one would be weird. PCs may not want the story of Osoyo to spread in case someone gets the bright idea to release it again. Still, it's a possibility. For song choices, I would borrow from Alan Wake 2; "Herald of Darkness" is a nice summary for the PCs, and Dark Ocean Summoning fits super-well for either summoning Osoyo or banishing it.

Jade Regent:

This is a long shot; maybe the new PCs are basing it off of stories they heard from the PCs who did the Adventure Path. In any case, I would base this one on The Mikado, especially so Fallenta can work in a lot of criticism of Cheliax into the narrative, much like how The Mikado is a criticism of British society. It's a great chance to see Ameiko perform "A Wand'ring Minstrel I" and the Jade Regent perform "I've Got A Little List". (Now which character plays the part of The Lord High Everything Else?)

Lastly (for now), here's one for when Lem (the iconic bard) gets inducted into the Esoteric Order of the Palatine Eye. He is inspired to write an opera about a hero charged by a queen to save a princess from a wicked sorcerer! It will have magic! Mystery! Plot twists! Cryptic philosophy! And it will be called... scrambling for a name, he glances at his favorite instrument... THE MAGIC FLUTE! Now to find someone who can handle the brutally high Performance check for the villain's aria. (For people who don't know their opera, look up "Mozart's The Magic Flute - The Queen of the Night's Aria". It's an infamously difficult soprano piece.)

I wonder if I can make Curtain Call work as a follow-up to the 1-10 Cheliax campaign in 2026.
