Idea thread Anonymous 05/01/2023 (Mon) 20:31:43 Id: 3186ee No. 793

A thread for posting Ideas. Can be stories, Items, campaigns or even entire systems if you have an idea for those. I will start! So the idea is for a weapon, for reference I am going to use D&D rules. It is a sword simply called "Tyr". Its a +5 longsword but it has a curse that makes it so every time you enter combat you must do a willpower DC 15 saving throw. This is to represent the fact that the sword makes you feel far more afraid than normal. If you fail your character is paralyzed with fear and must overcome the DC 15 saving throw to snap out of it. On top of all of this you have disadvantage on any saving throws involving fear. Why does a sword named after the bravest of the gods make you afraid? its simple. The sword itself is a test of bravery, Only those who can overcome their fear are worthy of wielding it. Much like how Tyr, The bravest of the gods overcame his fears time and time again. DC check is probably way too high though. Any thoughts?

1920s campaign. Gumshoe detectives, patrolmen, and maybe a sgt. investigate alcohol or heroin smuggling in the area. Basic police procedural, with added era appropriate flair. Prison campaign Players play random criminals recently incarcerated long term in a federal prison facility. All housed on the same wing they interact and deal with common threats perhaps ending up calling the shots. Stranded campaign Players survive plane crash in the wild and must survive harsh elements and wildlife in order to make it back to civilization.

Crusader Campaign. Players are knights embarked to the holy land during one of the crusades. Along the way they must balance piety vs. practicality and may finally arrive at the holy lands far twisted beyond recognition as nothing more than brigands. But still they must fight the muslim hordes for Christendom. History calls them doomed from the start. Can the players defy fate? Alternatively this can be done with players as mercenaries in the Rhodesian bush war or Vietnam.

>>799 >Stranded campaign I like that one, In fact I was thinking of making a campaign like that but instead they're shipwrecked.

>>803 Yeah that could be fun. Theres ideas out there that are unique and can lead to very memorable campaigns. Some are risky, but the possibilities are there. Like gilligans island but serious. Maybe mid pacific so you can get komodo dragons and gators and sharks. but the plane angle gives you additional options such as arctic, jungle, mountainous, and desert. But regardless of location chosen each one has unique challenges to be modeled in advance so as to ensure a more enjoyably challenging simulation.

Here's an idea: Try being original instead of copying copies of dungeons and dragons.
