I've been thinking about good inspiration, or source material for adventures. Movies, plays, myths, history and so on.
But since our group is medium to large (fairly diverse - all ages (teens to old fogeys who played 1st ed), m/f, varying motivations for playing), I figure not all source material is appropriate. Ideally, I'd be aiming for equal participation from everyone.
For example, the classic "Defend the Village" scenario would tend to keep everyone involved. (source material: Seven Samurai/The Magnificent Seven, various zombie attack movies.)
But something like Hamlet. Not sure how I could implement that for a large group, because it features only the one protagonist. Unless it were merely the setting.
While I'm thinking about it, I'll also mention "The Heist/Caper." (source material: Topkapi, Mission Impossible, etc.)
And "Finding Your Way Home." (source material: The Anabasis / The Warriors)
What other ideas do people have?
