It just seems like a good idea to share ideas---after all, being a GM is fun, but sometimes hard. So, post your ideas for roleplaying game sessions, storylines, or ideas!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) One of my favorite ideas in GMing was one in which I made the PCs part of a reality TV show with shady backgrounds. It turned out that the entire show was just a front for training them to be part of the Bounty Hunter's Guild---after they completed a series of unrelated tasks for the entertainment of the "home viewers" they were finally made aware that the show had been cancelled in its second week because their ship (this was in Star Wars) had blown up in hyperspace. After a bit more investigation, they were made aware that this was all just a test to see if they were bounty-hunter material, and now the PCs are all aspiring bounty hunters.

2) In a Vampire the Masquerade campaign, I had the Setites try to start a war between the Camarilla and the Camarillian Nosferatu by exposing the fact that the Prince of the city was in fact being impersonated by a Nosferatu. Complications included Inquistors with Mechanized Combat Armor and the detonation of nuclear weapons at the hands of the Nosferatu/Setites (one was trying to frame the other).
