I think I&#8217;d got with My Life with Master on this one, simply because I&#8217;ve been wanting to do something with it for awhile (although my current fave idea for MLWM is to run the classic I7 Ravenlof adventure as a MLWM scenario with the PCs as servants of Stradd, the traditional adventurers as the Others, etc.)<br \/>\nIn this idea, the Master is the owner of a hotel, and the minions are hotel staff.  We&#8217;d have to go a bit larger than the Bates, so lets mash in a good-sized old place like the Stanley Hotel (just to get a little bit of <i>The Shining<\/i> in there).<br \/>\nThe twist here would be that Norman&#8217;s not presented as the Master, but as one of the fellow minions, following the orders of his Mother (whom the character&#8217;s never see) &#8212; Norman would use all the rules in the book for NPC minions (only using Reason and Fear for rolls, etc.), essentially making him simply a foil for the PCs who eventually reveals himself as the Real Master.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Monday Mashup #17: Psycho Hmm.
