I have some ideas, but the reply is... involved(long). So if you could answer a few questions about your planned game so I can make my answer more succinct, I would appreciate it.
A)Who are they?
2)Who is your audience for this adventure? By that I mean what are your player's skill levels, age & gender, what do they like and dislike in a game, that sort of thing.
D)What type of story are you trying to tell?
Thank you, and enjoy the obscure John Hughes reference.
