One-shot A-Team/Dungeon Fantasy mashup
So, in about a month, I'm going to be running... well, exactly what the thread title says using GURPS Dungeon Fantasy rules. I'd like for the session to be in two acts. Act one would be them being charged with stealing a McGuffin and act two being "escaping from a maximum security stockade". Maybe it's just a little writers block, but I'm having a little trouble fleshing it out. Specifically:
Also, if anyone has any suggestions for some maps that I could steal...erm, use, that'd save me some time as well. Thanks in advance. |

How about the relic of an obscure saint? It could seem inoccuous at first but then of course when it turns out to be the necromantic hand of vecna equivelent it would make sense why they are carted off to prison..

To break out a needed team member. Parody the Leverage team for the Adversary. Hannibal Smith vs Nate Ford has so much WIN going for it.

I was unaware of Leverage until now. It's going into my "to watch" list, but I don't think I can use them for this effort. But as to the gold, why would the team be sent to procure it? And why would that be legal under orders but illegal if not (see above)? |

No need for the mcguffin to be an easy to manage item... Howzabout a Princess..."When you came in didn't you have a plan to get out" "Will someone get this walking carpet out of my way" "You came in that thing, you're braver than I thought"..."No reward is worth this." So if the princess is a handful...they might rescue her...but she might not exactly be grateful...she might even claim that there was a lack of proper respect and defernece shown...or even physical liberties were taken...Thus the would be heros are in jail because of the false allegations of a spiteful child (even if the calender would indicate she should be an adult). Can also be done with a Prince...if you are a fan of Sir Lancelot and the wedding at Swamp Castle....

Alas, the orders appear to have mysteriously vanished... so the team is being framed by the adventure's adversary. Oh, yes: don't forget to have them locked in a room with all the materials they need to improvise weapons... which, when used, don't kill anybody. <g>

Re: One-shot A-Team/Dungeon Fantasy mashup
Seems highly likely to split the party, if they can't come up with some way to just stash the kid (item, whatever) or aren't willing to let it out of their sight (perhaps wisely). Who wants to stay behind and babysit while we fight?

Escort a nobles daughter for hither to thither to get her away from a unsuitable match. She protests the whole way and when they get there the person who hired them is nowhere to be found. Maybe a ransom note has been sent to her father.
