[edit] The Dungeon of the Bear
Genre: Beer and Dice
System: Tunnels and Trolls
Date: Friday, February 11th, 2005
[edit] Set-up
"You're all sitting around this bar, so you all more or less trust one another. You're all here for various reasons; girlfriends kicked you out, your mothers told you to go get a life, or you're on the lamb from overdressed archnemesis who couldn't find someone higher than 1st level to antagonize. Then the bar burns down.
It being the dead of winter, you more or less decide you need a new bar. Now, unfortunately, this was a one-bar town, despite the huge 24-hour weapons bazaar. There is a "Delver's Equipment Emporium", too, but the proprietor is often asleep. His dogs, aren't, though - so no stealing!
Anyway, the point being is that the economy is in the privy and you need a lot of hard capital to start your bar so that you can sit around and get sloshed all day once again. Plus, your childhood trauma stories are getting old, and you all need some good old war stories to inject into the mix.
Now, being barflies to the last, you've of course heard rumor of this Dungeon nearby... the DUNGEON OF THE BEAR. Bears don't sound so scary, but you hear they have a lot of treasure - and probably are still too hung over to see why that wouldn't actually make a lot of sense. So, the lot of you decide to tromp on over there and see what you can dig up. Thankfully, the most direct road... well, the second most direct road... goes right through the aforementioned Weapons Bazaar. Admit it; bears are a little scary."

[edit] Deep Roleplaying
Sophie's Evil Hand's Choice: Two other players are selected. Explain to them about your Evil Hand (don't ask where it came from...) and how it compels you to attack one of them. Said attack could kill them. They must convince you to spare them and attack the other. If one martyrs themself, attack the other.
Everyone Wants to Hear Your Internal Monologue: You're having some deep thoughts right now. Share (oog) your internal monologue with the rest of the group. (Stand up while doing so.)
Can I Borrow Twenty Bucks?: Ask another character to lend you money. See how much they'll give you: do whatever it takes to get as much out of them as possible.
A 'KOTOR' Moment: One party member is selected. 'It becomes clear' to that party member that something is bothering you that you want to talk about. (You and the other party member should stand up.)
60 Second Romance: One other party member is selected. Become enamored with, ask out, proposition, convince if necessary, ask to marry, become disillusioned with, and break up with them in sixty seconds or less. (You should both stand up.)
Deep Questions: This is for everyone. You must talk only in questions. If you fail at any point, you're out. Last one in wins!
You're All In This Together: This is for everyone. Each person may say only one word at a time, in a cricle. You must go around the cicle several times, forming a coherent sentence(s).
You're The Dwarf Beneath My Wings: At a dramatically (in)appropriate moment (someone is dying, talking to an NPC, etc.) bust out singing a song everyone knows. Sing loudly, if not well - you're busting out here, not the tragic love interest in some opera. Keep going unitil a number of people join in equal to your level.
Illusory Monster (From Your Past!): You are seeing a monster no one else sees. Its like an MR of 100, or... 200! Yeah. 200! Describe it and get other people to interact and/or describe it, too. The GM will deny all knowledge of the monster, but will secretly roll dice as it attacks and kills anyone who sees it. That means you. P.S. No fair using a 'real' monster.
