ADVENTURES
Mystery Incorporated travel the USA looking for cases to solve. Thanks to the Mystery Machine's travel unreliability they usually quickly find one.
A Scooby Doo adventure has a pretty set structure and should make a good one shot.
1. The Mystery Machine breaks down in entertaining fashion.
2. Mystery Inc have to find somewhere to stay or fix the van and soon smell a mystery.
3. They split up to investigate, Daphne with Fred, Scooby with Shaggy and usually Velma. If Velma is on her own, really, she has teamed up with Science!
4. The villain of the piece has Created [spooky] Advantages to give them a good shot at nabbing one of Mystery, Inc., or at least make some flee in terror.
Roll 4dF when you need a victim:
-4 Fred
-3 Velma
-2 Shaggy
-1 Daphne
+0 Shaggy and Scooby
+1 Daphne
+2 Scooby
+3 Fred
+4 Velma
5. Friends need freeing and clues need gathering. Repeat 4 and 5 if there is a longer time period for the adventure. It is a short cartoon in the original, so should be punchy.
6. Capture and unmask the villain, singing along with the mournful refrain of the hoaxter "I would have got away with it if it wasn't for those meddling kids!" This will make Scooby and Shaggy hungry.
