[HOE] Movie/adventure idea

[Dusarat@aol.com]

 'How do you lock the Characters into the Mall'.  Mall instablility is one 
way.   Another way could be that there are a horde of nasties after the party 
and they know the way out is through the mall.  Or they are caught in a 
*really* nasty storm or other weather force and the Mall is the only 
convenient cover.  

For a horror game, HOE adventures do seem to lack the classic formula "The 
characters are locked in a confined space with something very nasty".  And I 
would like to see more and hear more adventures on that basis.  Why would the 
party kill the Boise Horror?  Well, I think it's much more fun if the party 
goes into  Boise, the Ghost storm around Boise intensifies to the point where 
no one can get out, then the Horror decides it's time to exterminate everyone 
in Boise.  So the party has to figure it out and kill it...... or it gets 
them.  

    Keep in mind, anything done too much is boring and monotonous, but seeing 
as how the boys at Pinnacle can only think of one adventure hook in their 
published adventures "A person asks the party to.....", I think throwing our 
other hooks spices up the game immeasurably.
