- The group gets to attend a high profile diplomatic ball as the guests of honor for one of the diplomats. Unfortunately said diplomat is an alcoholic womanizer who runs the risk of becoming intoxicated, hitting on the female party-goers, and generally jeopardizing international relationships through sheer asshole-ery. The party’s job, distract him, keep him sober and prevent an international scandal.
- A cult is stealing children from town and a local church or organization needs help stopping them.
- If the party is blamed for a crime they didn’t commit and has to chase down badguys until they can find evidence to prove their innocence – while being chased by good guys (like town guards) whom they can’t kill (because the guards think they’re doing their job) – that causes the players to feel very personally involved – there’s more emotion felt in such a game because you’re fighting to clear your name, to stop an injustice – against the players. So it’s very “personal”.
