Demon City Ideas



Ok - so these are the ideas I have for Demon City - and am not sure what I'll work on first - let me know if anything catches anyone's imagination!

Also: I made a Demon City Music playlist - these are all songs I think are weird/creepy/strange enough that I think you could build a scenario with them!

An adaptation/conversion of the classic CoC adventure into Demon City.



"The Poolish"

Bread dungeon - Poolish creature - evil French conspiracy liches
French magics - scary bread factory - possessed workers and dangerous giant blob of liquid yeast starter


"Friends"

 One indestructible person linker thing - Pope and holy warriors Curse
Problem character cannot be killed while they have friends - their friends also cannot be harmed directly - but if the problem character is damaged, it hurts their friends - and if they are harmed with no friends, they can be killed


"Driving Through Walls"

 KKK ghost cars and POC pcs fighting back
Ghost cards have KKK covers, like a Halloween ghost over the car - and they can drive through solid objects


"Camp Jordan"

Conversion camp + LGBTQ youth trying to escape it
COMPLETELY REALISTIC - SCARY WITHOUT ANY SUPERANATURAL


"Luchadores Monstruosos"

Luchadores + underground "freak" fighting ring - all or most PCs are problem characters 
Death squad is trying to exterminate all the "freaks"


"Nu Beta Zeta"

Hivemind Fraternity + Small town + college
PCs try to join, and it gets weird


"Business is Tough"

Businessman Dresses as Demon to work in the Demon Soul Stock Market
lots of professional actors, makeup artists, mimes, drag queens, mask makers, models ETC - that are demons, or work in hell as well as earth


"Chemical Cartel"

Clandestine keeping of chemical manufacturing in rubber maid trashcans + lots of chemicals used by criminal ring.
COMPLETELY REALISTIC - SCARY WITHOUT ANY SUPERANATURAL


"Contrary Loch"

Submarine Lake Flipping - Under a lake is a opposite place, a castle - Submarine adventure, Before lake, during lake, other side of the world
Submarine manned by impossible people - main one is Henry "Black Death" Johnson


"Sombre Avenues"

Dark Corner turning - Book about turning corners and ending up in midnight places - All about roads and stressful chases – then the world flipping into an alternate dark world
Car chases, foot chases, roadmaps, and dark shifts in perspective


"Lina Jacria"

How to draw + Adventure where the referee has to use that to draw player handouts
A handbook like all the ones that tell you how to draw – and the Ref is supposed to follow that and use the drawings as player handouts for the encounters, clues, environs, puzzles, ETC


"Sewer Kids"
Ecuador death squad
Kills kids and vagrants
All black with helmets and weapons- unmarked black van - comes out at night
Goes into sewers and alleys to kill kids and vagrants and vagrant kids and dogs
The death squad are all drones/revenants
Use the killed people as recruits/reinforcements 
deathless one who deals drugs funds it - the richer classes want the "vermin" off the streets - 
only helpful people are religious - and simultaneously want to help the needy and kill the unholy deathless one
