Adventure Plots Up For Grabs Thread 5: So There's This Guy

You are an astronaut being sent to colonize Mars. A number of people and technological equipment has been sent ahead of you, such that a sizable base of operations has already been established. It is ultimately incomplete, but scheduled to be finished within the coming months through additional shipments of supplies. However, soon after you touch down, an impossibly gigantic disaster destroys the earth -- the blue ball literally, visibly, and irreversibly explodes in the starry sky above you.

It's a morally-devastating image, but now the pressure to sustain life on a foreign planet is on. Can you and everyone else band together and make do with your limited resources, or will the final remnants of humanity perish thousands of miles from their origin planet?

Not a plot idea, more of a storytelling idea.
A normal forum adventure, with whatever story you want... but done entirely in the Doom 2 engine. What I mean by that is that you take any WAD or whatever creation tool you have, make the scenes, take a screenshot, put it in, etc.
Might be ridiculously difficult depending on some things, but it'd be definitely inovative.

Yes, but only do so when you finish the arc or the adventure itself, as doing a level everytime people suggest commands would be tiring.

A tale where characters are never shown, but suggested. Shadows, hands, but no faces. They don't speak, and their actions are only suggested as well.

Pure genius.
I'm getting a WAD editor now.

An adventure where you play as a chupacabra running away from from mythbusters/cryptozoologists. And with the help of your trusty imaginary sidekick, there's no way you'll get caught... right?

You are an honest worker just trying to scratch out a living at the local recycling plant. You're not a tree hugger, but you like to think you're doing your part in the world -- that is, until the fateful day you stumble into the plant's deepest darkest depths, located in the unlocked basement.

There, countless conveyor belts carry not only your plant's neatly-sorted materials, but those of an untold number of other sites. All of them feed -- horrendously mixed, no less! -- into a pit directly under your workplace, one which you could not begin to imagine the depth of, and yet you feel compelled to get to the literal bottom of.

A recyclable fantasy realm of soda can golems and water bottle serpents awaits.

From a dream I had last night:

A group of people are stuck on the top floor of a skyscraper and have to go though increasingly difficult obstacles and monsters to get to the floor below. Meanwhile, the skyscraper is slowly being destroyed (or becoming uninhabitable) from the top down. The goal is to get to the bottom floor and escape through the entrance. As they're doing this, it becomes apparent that there is also a traitor among the group who is the cause of all the problems and attempting to sabotage the group, but it's unknown which one of them it is, or why they're doing it. Aiding in their struggle is a system of "points." By completing challenges and defeating monsters, people will get a corresponding amount of points, which can be used in one of three ways: Improving their own abilities, altering the floor layout, or creating things. Points are rather abstract and not limited to any sort of list of stats or creatable items or anything, but will be used up in relation to how much benefit the change will provide. One notable use in the "create things" category is, in addition to tools/food/etc., one can also create "familiars," or creatures of variable intelligence and skills (as in, you can decide how smart they are or what skills they have) to aid the group in escaping. Familiars can be very useful, but have a will of their own, and thus are not likely to do things like suicide missions and are capable of turning against their creator; to prevent this, the creator should specify personality details upon it's creation and, of course, to treat it well. Of course, the traitor can use points in the same way as everyone else in the group.

You'd probably want to have only one controllable character to help keep the identity of the traitor secret, but, of course, you can use this idea however you want, even changing mechanics if you so choose.

The Hobbit© as told from the point of view of an urban street thug.
"So dez punk dwarves show up in my hood and tell me they want me to gank some mountain from some dragon? I say no way, I'm going straight! I don't do 'burglary' no more. But then this frizzy haired wizard shows up and says that there may be a little bling bling magic ring if I play my cards right. . . So, I'm back in the game."

Cavemen sit around a campfire and tell stories about the last great hunt. What were they hunting? What made it so great? And, of course, will the tribe have enough meat to survive? Did they find something out there that was truly terrifying?
