How would you do a music-themed BBEG?

>BBEG

I wouldn't.

Pied Piper turned up to 11.

>"BBEG"

Bleh.

Jesus you're a dedicated autist.

This sound the most correct. People, beasts, what ever you want. Stealing people, or summoning.

I don't use BBEGs because they're for simple plots and I don't like simple plots. You're an autist for caring so much about what other people do.

Have it as a minor quirk, not a defining trait.

If it's a modern rpg setting, very subtly reference song lyrics in dialogue. Have one of their many criminal exploits be an occasional foray into what's eventually revealed to be a for-pleasure pursuit of their hobby. A heist of a high-stakes microchip being pulled arsene-lupin-style-publically because it would focus all the attention and resources of the security company behind it, when the true motive would be a stradivarius guarded by the same company, pared down (and possibly aided by the pcs). that sort of thing. tinge his smugness with a hint of insufferable music hipster. Have his final confrontation take place while a fitting billie holiday song plays on vinyl in the background.

for a fantasy rpg, having a dungeon where players suffer penalties unless they announce their actions in rhyming couplet seems fun, provided it takes place and is resolved in a single session. annoying, otherwise.

add orpheus into the category along with the pied piper. he was attempting necromancy.

WHIP IT OUT, BABE
