In his ongoing efforts to find ideas to keep up with the quick witted teen-agers he GMs for. Stev, the Vulcan Game-Master looks outside the box for plot hooks and game ideas. Today he’s seeing what the top ten pop chart singles in America will yeild for inspiration.
*note* these are the top ten songs as of April 5, 2009
1 The All American Rejects – Gives You Hell
Demons are following your party
2 Britney Spears – Circus
When your party enters the next village they are mistaken for an expected troupe of traveling minstrels.
3 Flo Rida – Right Round
In the Dungeon every right turn actually send the team back to a spot they’ve already visited.
4 Kelly Clarkson – My Life Would Suck Without You
The party finds a magical object if the team ever loses it they begin to experience annoying bad luck.
5 Kanye West – Heartless
The party needs to fight the villians from Disney’s Kingdom Hearts video game.
6 Pink – Sober
The party is immune to the affects of alcohol, having been cursed/blessed by a Tee-Totaling Wizard
7 Lady Gaga – Poker Face
The ability to bluff is the only way to beat the guardian of the treasure.
8 The Fray – You Found Me
An annoying <insert small magical creature or genre specific equivalent> keeps popping up (ie Mr. Mytzlplyk), just to annoy the party.
9 T.I. – Dead and Gone
Somebody the party thinks they killed comes back for vengence.
10 Taylor Swift – Love Story
Like Jason and the Argonauts the team comes across Sirens, however these Sirens are in the tavern.
