How do you do run a game about players escaping from prison?

Do a dexterity check to see if you drop the soap

Do they ever get out, or is the whole campaign about the escaping

Beat me to it.

Consider pic related, perfect game exploring the theme. The most important points:

>some old fucker with prepared plan of escape that needs improvement
>helping players get their equipment back or atleast some substitutes
>asshole guards
>carefully prepared prison full of opportunities
>the PCs have limited freedom

Not whole campaign, but a good arc/adventures worth of it. Maybe 6 ish sessions of it

The important thing is to describe the rape in minute detail.

step one, be convicted of a felony

Just play Paranoia.

It all begins with rape...

>>54202155
Have your players convicted, of course.

Teamwork needs to be emphasized even more, as the players will have to rely on their wits and not try and just murder everyone.

It'd be more about planning an escape route, gathering info, and attempting to get out in one night.

How would you go about doing this. I picture some objectives that need to be completed in limited time windows, maybe overlapping windows, but it's that fun?

How would I present objectives in a way that allows players to come up with the plan?

Set it up so when they arrive for the session there's a large heap of whatever illegal drug you can find cheapest in the middle of the table and police on their way.

My group seems to be loving it, they haven't escaped yet at least.

"I was born 87 years ago. For 65 years I've ruled as Tamriel's Emperor. But for all these years I have never been the ruler of my own dreams. I have seen the Gates of Oblivion, beyond which no waking eye may see. Behold, in Darkness a Doom sweeps the land. This is the 27th of Last Seed; the Year of Akatosh 433. These are the closing days of the 3rd Era, and the final hours of my life."

Then you start chargen.
