I an going to run a campaign set in a "new world" type setting where the players are helping people set up colonies. I am going to have a massive yuan-ti cult based around Aztec, Incan, and Mayan culture. Ideas for quests, magic items, characters , encounters, anything would be nice. I have a general framework for a campaign but I have two weeks to come up with more.

I'm making a post apocalyptic one off taking huge inspiration from Fury. Army remnants coming from the NCR have headed east abandoning their posts in an endless war to instead travel east towards TN. They have access to a heavily salvaged tank. Crew is 4 players and DMNPC as commander to introduce them into the world and show them the ropes etc. They have one of the last tanks in the wastes and are a huge target for any scavengers and raiders in the area. They will eventually come into a destroyed city filled with raiders. I want them to feel the oppressing nature of being constantly under fire but I want them to have outs. I want them to have hope but being surrounded by a grim reality will take its toll.
so have you ever had a doomed scenario that still gave your players an enjoyable experience?

>Modern setting with demons.
>Demons either fuck with your head through subliminal messages through whatever they possess, or try to trick or tempt you into playing a typically life risking game. If you do end up playing it, you have to finish it. Period.
>They do this by possessing a object of some form, usually destroying the demon could be done with just burning the object it's in. However now that the internet is a thing, we have Tron demons and now burnings don't work because they can just download into new hardware.
>Anti-demon firewalls exist, but are expensive due to this being new shit.

What are some ways a modern society can handle a demonic problem other than "anti-demon firewalls", what are some ways you could use these things for terrorism? What would be some ways to handle it on a tight budget?

Is there any way to get characters really invested in an RPG campaign to the point that you can present "tough choices" of the kind that happen in real life, where they have to decide what they value more and it's actually heart-wrenching? Not to make my players sad out of malice, but to make them feel like they're really in the fictional world and sometimes it's difficult for reasons other than the difficulty of killing an ogre or something.

I want to run a campaign that feels as intense as a really good show or book, where triumph can mean more than success in some main plot-goal, and defeat can mean something other than someone being injured or dying.

How do you make players attached enough to an NPC that they're unlikely to betray him or her, even if it would be advantageous? And that if they do betray that NPC, they feel bad about it when he or she is devastated. Maybe they even try to regain that NPC's trust over time.

How do you make players care about their PCs' families, not so you can kidnap them, but so you can make them decide whether to care for their sickly uncle's kid or leave the kid with his sketchy aunt while they look for a cure for the old man's illness?

I want my players to really, REALLY want to succeed, not just because they're playing a game where they want to win, and not even just because happy endings to stories are nice, but because they care about the outcomes the way they would if they were watching some hit drama or reading a favorite book series.

I realize there are a lot of skills involved here. And I realize that the answer is "good GMing" and so on. But how do I go from good GM to great GM? How do I get my players to want to leap out of their seats with excitement about what's happening, to feel triumph and sorrow, and sometimes both at once, rather than just, "cool, we did it!" or "damn, we blew it."

Let's be honest here: Why do people say the Culture could take on the 40k universe? Why is no attention ever paid to Chaos (especially Slaanesh) and how really fucking easily they could corrupt all the trillions of mindless hedonists that exist in the Culture? The amount of havoc Chaos would wreak on the Culture would be hard to even put into words.
