Hell, why we don't we just figure out a backstory that you can use in the game. A story that makes sense and will allow you to figure out how the dungeon reacts to the actions of the players. We'll start with some questions:

1. Why was the dungeon built?

2. Who built the dungeon?

3. Why did he leave?

4. Where did the slaves come from?

And if I hear "forensics" once again, I will punch holes through your skull with a jackhammer singing "The house of the Rising Sun". I love that song.

But hte CSI guys will use their foresnic flashlights to figure out you killed them with a jackhammer and you'll go to jail

This voice acting is both better and worst than the one you posted

<a href="" target="_blank" class="aeva_link bbc_link new_win"></a>

I am now watching the entire DBZ parody series. Episode 5 is pretty hilarious.

I basically threw the party massacre as the initial hook but it has already led them to many different places, high and low.

Thanks! Don't forget to comment in the episode entry. A lot of people don't check the forums so the comments are more noticeable.

We will run and record at least a one shot of paranoia XP and Cthulhutech some day.

All I've heard about Terry Goodkind's series is from a couple of my friends that love it...

I know their taste was questionable, but now I'm really worried.

Follow Richard's example:

# Richard abandons his troops at one point because he doesn't think they are worthy of him.

Ran the first session. It went well. Players investigated a massacre of a rich penthouse party. I'll see if I can get Tom to post his character description.

Please tell me you are recording this game!!!!

Oh yes.

That doesn't sound alot like Watchman. Checking out high society I mean. I expected something more street level.

What do you mean? In Watchmen, Ozymandias is a member of high society and the others float through it when necessary. Nite Owl and Silk Specter go to fancy restaurants and Dr. Manhattan is a celebrity.

A whole bunch of rich people got killed through unknown means, possibly superhuman. Why wouldn't the characters investigate it?

Also, the investigation is leading them to various criminals - next session they will have to fight through a gang war to find an informant.

The dichotomy between emotion and reason comes up again and again in all forms of speculative fiction - especially RPGs. Look at how elves and dwarves or clerics and wizards are typically portrayed in D&D style fantasies. Elves and clerics are emotional and rely on empathy to guide their judgments while dwarves and wizards use reason and logic. Elves are in tune with nature and are usually better than humans in a variety of ways while dwarves are more productive and unified than humans.  Clerics are either sympathetic counselors and healers or grim fanatics who show the dark side of extreme emotionalism. Wizards are the counterpoint - either as sage teachers and advisers or callous researchers and power hungry despots.
