Bryant's latest Monday Mashup is none other than the Oscar winning Silence of the Lambs...
What do you think of when you think of Hannibal Lecter? Brilliance, Genius, Horror, and a keen edged madness. And of course, using an Evil to combat an equal or at least an uncontrolled Evil.
The game I would use for this is obvious: Nobilis.
Make the PCs Nobles who are either Angels or of the Light. There is a nasty imminent Excrucian plot afoot to excruciate one of the more important Estates, and the one person that the PCs need to contact and get help from...is the Noble of the Dark, Hannibal Lecter. He lives in a twisted, dark chancel, a disturbing place that combines all the worst of an asylum, hospital and jail...but everything immaculately clean and organized, even in its grotesqueness. And the personal quarters of the Noble would be a model of neatness and taste, even amid the horror of the rest of the place. The spider at the center of his lair.
Can they trust him? Sure, he's brilliant, intelligent, and deductive, but can they truly trust all that he says? Is he trying to corrupt the PCs or manipulate them for his own hidden agendas? Can they even get him to help?
The clock is ticking...
