Babysitting
By: Barbarian Horde

A members of a very powerful magic-using family would like to go on a short vaction.

A members of a very powerful magic-using family would like to go on a short vaction.  While the parents of this family are gone, your party has been hired to babysit the children, who have strong magical powers themselves.  Your party will be fined for any propery that gets destoryed in the house.  Your party must also take care not to hurt the children, because it would not be wise to anger the parents.  The children are both powerful and naughty, so babysitting them will be a challenge!
This is a good change of pace because the characters must use something other than physical force to get through a situation.

I like this idea: it's very original and would lead to some really good roleplaying. I'll try to try it out sometime.

And what if the children are, in the words of an experienced babysitter: evil little gremlins. You know, the type that like to cause trouble for no reason.

All hail the Random Plot, for without it I’d never have found this

What a great idea – Home Alone meets fantasy role-play – I’m already having evil little thoughts

A definite 5/5

And they could have pets, and real imaginary friends, and you could get fat from the imaginary tea and muffins.

A decent enough idea on it's own, but...

What could POSSIBLY compel a party to actually accept the mantle they are being given? They get to babysit kids whom the parents KNOW to be troublemakers, and they have to pay for any damages they cause? Simply by saying that as DM, you let the players know that damages WILL be caused, and therefore it will cost the party money to take the job. With a setup as described above, my guys would say "thanks but no thanks."

But, the idea is workable if you have a need of the parent's help in some way(they have information, the PC's need an ally, etc). So, 3/5.

Someone needs the blood of a dragon, given willingly, to make a rare potion. Guess who gets hired to sweet-talk a dragon into giving up some highly powerful blood?
