I'm working on a campaign for my group of PCs. I came up with this one after watching The Great Gatsby (the new one) and reading the book in short succession, so don't judge me.
A young duchess had an affair with a commoner (the social class, not the NPC class) and broke it off when he went off to war, was conscripted, etc. She got married, despite him continually sending letters from the front, and he only finds out about it after he'd returned from the war. Heartbroken, he thinks she never loved him because he was poor (that's were the gatsbyism comes in) and decides to make a name for himself. Long story short, he fell in with the wrong people, became a vampire (due to the war, I've made him a 12th level character- not sure which classes yet, part of the reason I'm posting this here) and is now seeking to make her fall in love with him again, so he can whisk her off to his castle, turn her into a vampire, and live happily for the rest of their (neverending) days. Problem being, she's happily married. With a kid. He, being a crazy vampire dude, is trying to kill her husband and child so they can be together, and she hires the PCs to help.
Anything you guys can think to add?
