This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

One-line adventure ideas. Now.

Any fantasy game: If you want to be accepted as leaders of the Thieves Guild, you need to rob the Temple of the Faceless God, guarded by some unspeakable horror.
My name is Ramón Nogueras. Running now Vampire: the Masquerade (Giovanni Chronicles IV for just 3 players), and itching to resume my Call of Cthulhu campaign (The Sense of the Sleight-of-Hand Man).

1) An immortal Rahu-Man seeking the lost Rahu-Women
2) Sleeper TIE-Defender Clone Pilots and staches of TIE-Defenders hidden on a remote agricultural planet.
3) The NGR retakes Berlin from the Brodkil.
4) The TL-Niners try to steal the Cziltang-Brone back from the PCs.
5) The Hydra ate the Champion of Aaqua returning from Pesh, and now sits upon his intelligent Chaos-Dragon-Bane Sword of Order

Form the group wisely, make sure you share goals and means.
Set norms of table etiquette early on.
Encourage attentive participation and speed of play so the game will stay vibrant!
Allow that the group, milieu and system will from an organic symbiosis.
Most importantly, have fun exploring the possibilities!

For some reason, all the clerics have lost their ability to cast spells. What happened?

Your sister ran off with the guildmaster's ne'er-do-well nephew, and your mother wants you to get them back before the whole family suffers the sting of shameful notoriety.

After slaying an Undead creature, 'haunted' treasure once belonging to it disappears, leaving the PCs in hot water if they used some of it to pay a wizard/thieves' guild/noble.
