(4e) Want to make an adventure based on THEM: advice wanted
Posted: Mon Aug 10, 2009 11:19 pm
I own a DVD copy of an old 1954 Warner Brothers horror movie called "THEM!", and while I know that DMs here are more used to Gothic Horror, I figured that this was still the best place to come for advice. While watching it recently, I remembered that the Monster Manual 2 has stats for Giant Ants as the first entry in it, and as this is one of the movies I've seen that I freely admit is able to actually creep me out, I began to wonder: would it be possible to make a horror-themed adventure pitting a band of PCs against a nest of giant ants?
However, if it is possible, I really need advice on how to put it together, hence why I'm here.
I do know that this would work best against low-level PCs, both because that's when they have their most limited resources and are at their most vulnerable, and because the Giant Ants actually statted are low-level (Worker: 1 Minion, Warrior: 2 Skirmisher, Soldier: 3 Soldier, Winged Drone: 4 Skirmisher, Hive Queen: 5 Elite Controller/Leader).
For those of you who haven't seen the movie, here's a hyperlink to a playlist on Youtube of the complete movie: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p ... 69CBC0629D
