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.

Silly, light-hearted introductory game sessions....

I'm in a better mood the past 48 hours....


Any one have more ideas on this topic?

Again, I'm leaning toward sertting things in a fictional mall and possibly using a bag'o Zombies and a bunch of pre-generated characters.

"Mall" and "zombies"?  Those two keywords practically beg for a plot involving tainted Dippin' Dots.

Tainted Dipping Dots??

Somehow this is more inrteresting to me 6 months later.

 It could be the fact that every mall that I go to these days has at least one cporridor that looks like retail ghost town - nothing but empty store fronts and such.

 The Mall I work at is at least trying compared to those other Malls.

 All those empty store locations - must be dark and deep secret things going on when Mall Security isn't paying attention.

Anyone want to take a second go at this?

 Or new folks on here got suggestions??

Mall, and a Missile Silo?

The villain, whose name is now long lost, build his missile base at what is now the site of the newest mall! It is up to your erstwhile heroes to disable the missile before it launches. Of course, the heroes are mundane people, trapped in the malls ONE working entrance now blocked by the missile rising out partially as it readies to fire.

Being this is a not-quite superhero universe, any PC concept can work, they all just happen to be at the local (Malt/Burger/Pop Tart) shop getting a meal when things go down.

They must

1) Catch the Lingerie Flasher. Who wears a trenchcoat over his lingerie, as he's inciting more panic by his actions.

2) Find a lost child's mother. The child is a 9' tall hulk like creature who is 4 years old, with strength capable of smashing through everything, except the doors or walls of the outside shell of the Mall (Being made in a supers universe, it is made of some unobtanium material since malls in those Universes are always getting smashed.

3) Stop the zombies. Who happen to be going on a shopping spree. Not eating anyone just running around stealing things and making a very very shambling slow run away from the terrified shop clerks.

NOPE.

 This is the one clunker in what you posted.

 Can I have a trade-in on that and an Amen please?

Everything else you wrote is quite doable.

Sure. I just have an odd sense of humor. :D

How about the werewolf eating polyester clothes in the "retro" shop?

Or the teen age  (lookin) vampire, who everyone keeps thinking is a goth much to his dismay, hiding (from the zombies..) in Hot Topic who must be calmed down from clinging to the rafters before he falls and hurts someone...
