Great story for a bit of excitement on campaign

A neat story to throw in for some characters en route to another place if they're getting bored and want some fighting.

I was always interested in adapting historical events into D&D games. I've toyed with the idea of adapting (sadly, I only really play D&D in the FR) gameworlds to fit certain historical situations. The more epic, the better, and that usually entails something pertaining to the World Wars. I even considered introducing some kind of magical analog to the atomic bomb, setting it off somewhere and changing the nature and fabric of the campaign while it was being played ("the bomb changes everything" kind of thing)

 

That 'un sounds a bit like that... oh, what's her name, the Countess. She was already used in Diablo II, but apparently she was real, even if she wasn't as psychotic as they say.

I believe you're thinking of Erzsebet Bathory, also known as the Blood Countess, the most infamous serial killer in Hungarian history.

 

 

As to the topic, I also enjoy injecting historical facts or situations into storylines, though I do so more in a literary format. At the moment, I'm trying to adapt an Alternate History Ancient Greece plus surrounding civilizations into a world where the beliefs of the people (whether in terms of magic or science which were in those days entirely entangled) work as postulated with some modification.

I have actually visited the cave in question. Or at least the opening of the cave.

Do you mean make them into a clan of cannibal dwarves or is there a pnp game set in fifteenth century Europe?

Do the local school children dare eachother to go inside?

The real dare is to pay the four euro admitance fee to see a hole in a hill.

It isn't a bloody theme park!

 

I'm suggesting you just have the PCs work as the people who suffer an attempted robbery and have the chance to report it to the authority and probe the horrors of the clan's stinking cave.

And risk getting eaten? That's madness!

[Musopticon?]

I bet there'd be loot in the cave.

 

You don't like loot?

[Tale]

You don't like loot?

What good is loot going to be whilst I'm being digested?

[Musopticon?]

Why should one be digested?

 

Skewer them, gut their brethren and saunter off with their ill-gotten gains.

 

 

Unless they eat the gold and valuables they find from their victims.
