concept:

5 minibosses in your dungeon named Rank, Dank, Damp, Dark, and Dreary

[highlyquestionablerpgideas]

Being a Wyverrn-born just means putting Dragonborn on all your legal forms but shopping in the Kenku department

Can I just say that having this blog has ruined me on drinking soda. I literally am unable to pick anything except for Pepsi when given the option. When I see Pepsi as a drink choice I gotta get it.

[brewerssupplies]

Server at a restaurant: What would you like to drink? We have a wide selection of drinks!

Me internally begging myself: Please I’m begging you. Anything but Pepsi!

My brain: P E P S I

Me: DO YOU HAVE PEPSI?

Server: Why yes we do

Me: GiVe Me ThE PEpSi

[brewerssupplies]

Any food place that does not serve Pepsi has become a safe haven from the tyranny of Pepsi.

[probablygoodrpgideas]

To be honest you ruined me as well

[brewerssupplies]

I am so sorry. I thought I had only cursed myself.

[highlyquestionablerpgideas]

Yeah... something like that

[highlyquestionablerpgideas]

I firmly believe “lich” is pronounced “lick” and I dare any of you to change my mind

[probablybadrpgideas]

Surgically implant a printer into your face. Every time you roll, print out your character sheet from your face and check your modifiers.

[highlyquestionablerpgideas]

Play a Warforged wizard who prints out their spellbook as they go

[probablybadrpgideas]

Have your rogue speak thief’s cant, which is just English but the only verb is “yoink”.

[morrithal]

I know this meme is for music but I have some opinions

[probablybadrpgideas]

Incorporate save points into your tabletop RPG. They show up completely randomly. Your players will obsess over them, but they won’t actually be relevant unless there’s a TPK so….

[probablymediocrerpgideas]

Incorporate stringent inventory management into your tabletop RPG. Your players will spend hours obsessing over it as they carefully curate their inventories, but since all your drops are random, there‘s no real right way to do it, so…

[highlyquestionablerpgideas]

Incorporate hammerspace into your tabletop RPG. Everyone showed up thinking they were going to have to worry about the weight of their Two Handed Bastard Sword Collection, but it all fits in that one little bag of holding, so...

[probablybadrpgideas]

The bookzooka

it launches extremely out-of-date textbooks and tomes at volitile speeds

[highlyquestionablerpgideas]

Bring new meaning to the term "throwing the book at someone"!

Coming soon to an arcane library near you!

[probablybadrpgideas]

Red Markets but all your PCs are loaded, so it’s just rolling to sit in a big mansion and watch as all the riff-raff fight zombies outside.

[highlyquestionablerpgideas]

I thought we played RPGs to try to get away from this kind of reality

[highlyquestionablerpgideas]

Wow this was really grumpy and boring let's try again

The PCs are loaded so they sit in a GIANT, WEAPONIZED mansion and obliterate every zombie in sight using way more force than is necessary because there's no kill like overkill

If you really want to have fun with it let the party build giant robot legs for the mansion so they can roam the countryside in a giant mech for even more realistic apocalypse action

[highlyquestionablerpgideas]

Oh yikes, i'd never heard this before. I know i've made many "lizard person" jokes in the past, but i've only ever known it as part of the running illuminati gag, i never knew it had antisemetic ties :/ I definitely don't mean to offend anyone with it, and if i've done so, i sincerely apologize. As part of a very common and recurring joke trope though, i'd really like some feedback - is this something that can be used in a lighthearted nature so long as there's no foul intent, or would people rather i avoid it altogether...? There's no great way to word it but you get what i'm asking Edit: i started writing the tags and "lizardfolk" popped up, is the problem just with the term "lizard person" or are any humanoid reptilians problematic?? What can of worms have i opened

Have the final boss be Pepsi Man.

[verystupidrpgideas]

no no, have every npc be pepsi man

[brewerssupplies]

I like the way you think.

[highlyquestionablerpgideas]

The player is Pepsi Man. Don’t tell them. Just wait, and see how long it takes them to figure it out.

[brewerssupplies]

Have your players wear Pepsi man suits.

[brewerssupplies]

Ya know have your players wear these.

[highlyquestionablerpgideas]

This is the strongest power ranger

Can you give me some awful ideas for monsters to use in Monster of the Week?

- Shitty Boggart, takes the form of a character’s 10th greatest fear.-Werewolf, but the adventure takes place entirely during the new moon so it’s just a slightly hairy accountant.- Tiny fluffy thing that is filled with rage but has no offensive capacities so it just nuzzles people angrily-Demon that embodies the sin of eating all the strawberry from a box of Neapolitan ice-cream- A totally normal horse.- Evil sorcerer who only knows one spell and that one spell is crying-All of the above having teamed up to rob the local laundromat.I hope this is a helpful answer!-Mod Pencil

[highlyquestionablerpgideas]

Alright i’m jumping in because anyone who knows me knows i’m a slut for MotW

A tree that’s locally known for having killed several people, though no one can prove it and several of those people are definitely still alive

A dog with a human face

Two ouija boards actively fighting one another

Pixies that steal peoples’ cell phones, then call the local police department

A sentient, malevolent towel. It can’t move or speak or anything, but oh ho HO if it could

The little gremlin that steals your socks from the dryer, except it’s no longer content with just socks and is now going after peoples’ whole legs

One of those 18th century portraits of some nameless dude in a general’s hat whose eyes follow people as they walk down the hallway

A pomeranian that explodes every time it barks

A highly infectious virus that makes people sneeze glitter

A Nigerian prince who wants to send the party money

A teacher who everyone’s convinced is a robot, they’re actually a lizard person

The mayor, who is also a lizard person

If in doubt just make it a lizard person

None of the lizard people know the other lizard people are lizard people

A gigantic snail

Invisible geese

A very angry book

Vegan vampires

[probablybadrpgideas]

All these monsters have also, independently, teamed up to rob the same laundromat.

Try and persuade people to play your new campaign not based on the system, setting or premise, but based on its cutting-edge graphics.
