Hmm,

  Now Famine isn't always lack of food you know.....

    I envision a group which is based around science lab.  They do 
experiements, everything white, pristine, and pure.  And they send people out 
to help loacl groups, on a condition...

    You see, the head scientist despises 'fuzzy thinking' in all it's forms.  
Faith, storytelling, art, everything that doesn't immediately benefit.  He 
wants people eating, but he's got them eating like monks (gruel and rice), no 
art, no stories, no nothing.  This person is starving their minds and souls!  
And the party has to get these people LIVING again!  

    The party has to bring art and laughter (roleplaying a Templar trying to 
tell a joke... now aint that golden).  And every little enrichment brings the 
head scientist that much closer to sending in he troops after these 
subversives!  And maybe the head scientist is a servitor.  It's all about 
science, real science, hard science, hard empiricism breaking the back of 
creativity .

    This is a little subtle, but could be great with the right party


Iowa #2, Party boys!!!!!

    These cornfed frat boys (The Chugga Keggas) roam Iowa, for a P-A-R-T---Y? 
Cuz they gotta!  And their revelrie is contagious!  they roll in, start the 
ball rolling, the town eats all their reserves during the fun, the fratters 
leave, and the town starves during the Iowa winter.  How do you stop 'em? Are 
they evil?

    Well, as the GM, you know they're actually lesser Famine minions, but no 
need to let the party know.
