I'm going to be a father soon!!!

I'm stoked and want to start practicing telling child friendly stories. Having a plot generator seems like a fun way to do it.

Lesson: The main character needs to learn that...

1. Asking for help is a strength, not a failure.
2. Listening carefully can help everyone feel understood.
3. A changed plan can still lead to something enjoyable.

Problem: The lesson becomes necessary when...

1. Two friends both want to play the same role, but there is only one costume for it.
2. The character’s carefully constructed project falls apart moments before it is time to present it.
3. Rain cancels an outdoor activity the character has been eagerly planning.

First Try: At first, the character...

1. Hides the mistake, allowing the confusion around it to grow.
2. Tries to handle everything alone and becomes overwhelmed.
3. Insists on following the original plan, even though it no longer works.

Discovery: The character begins to understand a better approach when...

1. A friend asks a simple question that reveals something the character overlooked.
2. The character notices someone else solving a smaller version of the same problem.
3. Some unused materials suggest a new possibility that wasn’t part of the original plan.

Try Again: The character puts the lesson into action when...

1. They honestly explain what happened, apologize, and help repair the damage.
2. They divide the task into smaller jobs so everyone can help solve the problem.
3. They adapt the goal, create a new plan, and/or help someone else handle a similar disappointment.

A roll might give:

The main characters needs to learn that asking for help is a strength, not a failure.

Their carefully constructed project falls apart moments before it's time to present! At first, they try to repair everything alone, but they become overwhelmed and make little progress.

Then they notice another group solving a smaller problem by working together. The character asks others for help and divides the repairs into manageable jobs. Together, they rebuild the project in time for the presentation.

Although the finished project looks different from the original, the character is proud of what everyone accomplished together.

I'll also keep this auto roller updated if you want to roll one up yourself.

In my game I have the Genie of the Shop. He is a discord bot that every week drops items for sale that the players can chose to buy in the discord thread. I have a table with a lot of items that he draws from and he is getting a little repetitive. His items range from mundane to magical and his prices are always less then you would expect on an item from the game to be going as far as 50% off.

The setting is Earth in a fallout type settings except magic has come back and corrupted the world.

The tech level is if you could imagine it in Star Wars it would be in my game.

The magic level is everything from 5E and Pathfinder could show up.

1980's themed stuff keeps showing up because we are using 2nd edition as the base ruleset for players.

Pop culture references are super welcome the more obscure the better.

I don't care about the power level just make the price make sense. We have world ending artifacts and the deck of many things in the game already.

The Format for my shop is as follows.

We have 10 items that go on sale so if you submit 10 items that would make my life extra easy.

They are listed like this X(number for sale), Item Name, Abilities and description, cost in Gold, credits or Caps.

Examples.

10x hacker man chips. Insert in any compatible computer for a 30% chance to hack it. 75 credits each.

1x box of 200 crossbows, 50 credits.

3x Charm of the goat. Once per week you may hold the charm and all mundane non magical items become edible to the holder. 200 credits.

1x Scroll of summon phantom steed. 3,000 credits.

1x Smith & Wesson Model No. 2 Revolver (uses 32RF bullets) comes with 5 bullets. 3d4+2 ballistic damage, 6 round chamber, range 75ft. 90 credits.

As you can see there really isn't anything off the table here so if you can help it would be awesome. I'll take weapons, gadgets, potions, spell scrolls, guns, or even just normal things adventure's might need. If you put them in a list of variety I can make the bot pull from your list if it has 10 items that are all very different. If you give me a holiday themed list it would be fun as well. I use the shop to keep money from feeling useless and it works awesome and it adds some fun to the game. My players are about level 8 in power and I have martials and casters so nothing will go to waste.

Thanks if you post.

Erysichthon the Cannibal - A formerly condemned prisoner, with utterly massive physique, who is publicly known for killing his handlers if they got between him and any downed gladiator he defeated, attempting to prevent him feasting upon the fallen's flesh. Rumor has it that he remains chained between battles, and must be fed constantly in order to maintain the massive muscles. (MaxSizeIs)
37. Abderus the Charioteer - Made a name for himself doing death-races and jousts. His one-handed spear-work while mounted is flashy, but he's an absolute marksman when it comes to throwing daggers while riding past his target. (MaxSizeIs)
38. "The Lady" Briseis - Crowd favorite, and expert fencer, this woman is rumored to be a disinherited heiress. Her good looks make both men and women scream, and she's pierced many a heart and remained unmoved. (MaxSizeIs)
39. Canace "Poseidon's Lover" - When they switch the arena over to aquatic battles, she's always a crowd favorite, leading a crew. In one on one battles, her swashbuckling "pirate" aesthetic and her willingness to use the terrain grants her flashy, easy victories. (MaxSizeIs)
40. Caucon the Drunken Butcher - An actual former Butcher, allegedly sentenced to the arena for turning a child's entrails into sausage and selling them, supposedly cursed with immortality for his actions. In actuality, he was a "foil" meant to go down in the exhibition matches "first blood or incapacity" and he is maintaining 'kayfabe' in order to pay off the massive debt he and his family owes. He has become something of a mascot. (MaxSizeIs)
41. AUROCHS - All caps when you say his name. Extra muscular and about as wide as he is very, very tall, he wields a two-tined bident and limit-breaks with a lightning blast. (MaxSizeIs)
42. Sifylus. A seductive tiefling using a poison covered quarterstaff (ScandinavicScum2000)
43. 'Discoprizo' of Stymphalia - The bronze-skinned, long-legged warrior favors the chakram, and hides bronze feathers instead of hair. (MaxSizeIs)
44. Tetraites the Undefeated - Utilizes spear, short sword, and small round shield emblazoned with displacer beast on its crest. Their not-so-secret power is a movement art based off of Mirror Image, but unknown to all but the gladiator's manager, the shield doesn't do anything magical. Their movement art allows them to move quickly and leave after-images that they may or may not attack from; drives the crowd wild. (MaxSizeIs)
45. Koúrtios the Cavalryman - Takes the mounted cavalry officer look to the extreme, but has a crowd pleasing magical attack that takes the form of flailing around with flaming whips and riding a summoned mount whenever possible. The rumors amongst the crowd claim his patron pays to have a warhorse sacrificed to the gods before each battle. It must work, somehow. (MaxSizeIs)
46. Daedalion "Hawkwind" - He and his hawk familiar trade places in a flashy gust of wind and silvery glow, and his ranged cutting attacks (and cutting quips to go along with them) are no joke. (MaxSizeIs)
47. Anthemoeisia "The Deadly Mist" of Dascylaeum - She obviously paid good gold for the edgiest of epithets to be shouted by the announcer during her battles. You'd think her stealthy movement arts and veiling mist magic would be poor viewing material, but some arena enchantments reveal her form to spectators, but (supposedly) not the participants. (MaxSizeIs)
48. Ballêtus d'Demophon - It is said that his forebear failed to achieve immortality, but Ballêtus is set to carry on their torch, choosing to honor his distant lineage by taking the name of a fabled hero who, as a child, was burned by the flames of a godess seeking to purge his mortality. He appears to be resistant to fire and heat-based attacks, and his skin emits a faint golden glow in his presence. (MaxSizeIs)
49. Triptolemus "The Gardener" - Usually a slow burn, but with a crowd pleasing ending; plant-growth is this olive-skinned beau's signature move, entangling and exhausting his foes. He always charms a portion of the crowd by offering one lucky spectator a flower grown before thier eyes. (MaxSizeIs)
50. Lleuçothea "Our Lady of Tears" - This nymph is a water-bender who dresses like a emo-goth-priestess of an obscure ocean-faith, and the rumors tell she is a "blood bender", able to poison her enemies with a mere flick of her water whips. (MaxSizeIs)
51. Amymóne of Anaïdes "The Blameless" - Don't be fooled by the bearing and appearance of this noble necromancer princess; she is capable of summoning forty-nine specters that take the form of maidens who always appear carrying jugs full of water drawn from the very Underworld (MaxSizeIs)
52. Gorgo "She with the Heart of Stone" and Anaxarete "She with the Heart of Steel", who is described as "more savage than the waves that rise in autumn, harder than steel tempered in fire!" are a duo consisting of an Earth Genasi who favors her fists, but likes to wow the crowd with her earth-walking to attack her enemies from below, and a Fire Genasi who somehow had her heart replaced by a strange clockwork artifact that has granted her limited flight abilities. (MaxSizeIs)
53. Echetlaeus "The Plowshare" - This war-scarred Giant is actually a berserker who favors the handle of oversized plow as his weapon of choice, wielding it as a large-sized great-club.

54. Harmothoë "The Golden Hound", is an "edgy" platinum-blonde gnome from the distant steppes who rides a golden furred blink-dog (named Laelaps, for those who are interested). She wows the crowd with her riding skill, prefers outfits that appear to be made out of nothing but belts, is an absolute terror with her shortbow, and carries more throwing daggers than should be physically possible. (MaxSizeIs)
55. Guneus of Perrhaebi "The Strategist" - a sculpted hobgoblin with neatly braided gray hair, bronze skin marked with geometric military campaign tattoos, and a flowing purple cloak over polished bronze armor, calmly shouting chess moves while effortlessly wrestling and outmaneuvering his opponents to the ground. (MaxSizeIs)
56. Princess the Powerful: A fat orge-sized gnoll dressed in fineries, she seems to utterly enjoy combat, but will spare opponents who grovel well. (snakebite262)
57. Bozo: A male gnoll who seems to fight fairly traditionally. When brought to half health, he will pull out some spells to cheat with. (snakebite262)
58. Giggles: An extremely maddened gnoll who can't seem to help but laugh. Her fighting style is chaotic, as she swings with near boundless energy using whatever blades she has attached to her. (snakebite262)

A roll might give:

A ruthless killer leads a cult whose members follow strict rules about how they dress day-to-day. Their rituals involve offerings of gold, gems, and valuables, and they revere their own mortal leader.

I'd love entries for any of the sections. You don't need to submit a whole cult unless you want to.

I love how this community builds tables together. I built a community build feature into my random table roller/editor, and I think it could be useful for DMs who want to source ideas from their players or for communities that create tables regularly.

I'll maintain the tables here and add submissions as they come in. You can also test out the collaborative version here.

I'll be updating this auto roller too if you want to quickly roll one up.

The feature is still early, so if y'all have other ideas beyond roll results, I'd love to hear those too.

[Let's Build] d100 Rumors Heard in an Orbital Spaceport

—

What strange scuttlebutt circulates in the cramped corridors where spacers from across the galaxy collide?

—

1. The last 3 fuel shuttles from the Icarus Belt returned full of hydrogen, but without their crews.

2. Venusian Anarchists have spiked the O² supply, "Looove is in the air, man."

3. There's been a viral outbreak in Med-Bay. Another quarantine is coming, so get out while you can!

4. What happened at the dockworker union's inaugural meeting wasn't an accident. Sec-Corps overrode the airlocks' secirity protocols.

5. Someone is cultivating hallucinogenic fungi in the waste recycling system and has booby trapped the maintenance hatches.

6. The newest corp giga-hauler to dock has a poorly kept secret: the biggest and most established contraband ethanol distillery and distribution operation amongst the engineering and maintenance crew. It seems even the captain of the ship gets his cut and likely turns his eyes away. u/maxsizels

7. A real beat-up cargo hauler from the outer colonies just dropped a load of expired rations on the black market. Label reads like they were from the last Great War a century ago. They don't taste great, but are real value for money if you need to "refill" your emergency stores. Rumor has it tho that the rations used recycled colonist remains as a "secret ingredient". u/maxsizels

8. It is rumoured a craft was recovered, with all the crew dead. Preliminary scans revealed their brain and brainstem were surgically removed. Upon any attempt of autopsy, the corpses would explode and selfimmolate to ashes. Only seventeen of the twenty crew members were recovered. u/graxemno

9. The station master's mistress was spotted in the company of a planet side politician. Purely coincidentally, it seems station fees might be going up soon. u/kelssyk

10. Security is planning another expedition into the ruined sections surrounding reactor 4. Hopefully they don't end up like the last group to go in there. u/kelssyk

11. The ghost of the station's first chief engineer was spotted trying to fix a broken relay down on deck 9. u/kelssyk

12. Someone is "spacing" station residents; kicking them out of airlocks without vac-suits. My mate's buddy's cousin found a corpse hung up on the tertiary comms-calibration array antennas, naked. u/maxsizels

13. My mate's buddy's cousin's brother in law just struck the mother-lode while prospecting in the belt. He's selling investor shares in a sure thing... u/maxsizels

14. There's gonna be war, the signs are certain. The rates on mass-driver relay fees have gone up 25% this quarter alone, and the belters are going to riot if they keep going any higher. u/maxsizels

15. There was a crazy scientist researcher who claimed they were developing new drive tech. Claimed someone was after them tho. u/maxsizels

16. Don't trust the public corridor sanitation-'bots. My mate's buddy's cousin's sister in law's aunt's entire hab-unit was ruined when one of those went on a rampage, broke thru the airlock into to her hab, and melted everything with it's sanitizer tool. Station maintenance claim it must have detected invasive vermin and went into extermination mode! u/maxsizels

17. One of the cargo tugs will pilot itself sometimes, even with the autopilot turned off and removed from the console. Station AI has no records of these operations, always reporting the tug as being docked and idle. It's the only tug on the station that has a perfectly clean accident record, zero incidents, piloted... or not. u/billazilla

18. The trade treaty is going to fall through in the next cycle or two, you watch for it. One of the LR merchants was panic-buying every ticket for Pharmo-cloth and Bloodpatches in the StationNet Market. Sweeping all the medical parcels up with a quick-buy app. They are sure things were going to get violent in the outer rings. u/billazilla

19. Station Municipal Support Services can control which hab units get filtered, processed, and cleaned water, and which ones just get recycled toilet juice, desalinized and bleached. u/billazilla

20. The coffee you're drinking? It's not coffee. It's run-off from hydroponics, strained through a dirty T-shirt. u/billazilla

21. There's a set of modules near the restricted part of the hub. That's where all the "richies" stay. They have zero-G parties there that would make a space miner blush. u/billazilla

22. They found an alien. Down in the Social level. Some guy drank too much, grabbed at a girl, and her whole butt came right off like it was a maintenance panel. It was fake, you see, and there were scales and wavy bits underneath. Security hauled them both off. The girl wasn't seen again, but the guy came back to work the next day, did a full shift working like a zombie, then spaced himself. His coworker said it was strange, he didn't think that the scales would've stopped the drunk guy from making a pass anyway... u/billazilla

23. Every fifth ship docking, some woman brings a regular old attache case out of the ship. Scuttlebutt says it's government orders from down on the planet, but why wouldn't they just beam that up with terabit encryption? Witnesses say it's the same lady carrying the case every time, too, but nobody ever sees her leaving the station to go back down...? u/billazilla

24. There's a small janitor closet on the lowest level with a control panel on the wall next to it. Supposedly, none of the menu options work, always returning an error or saying "no authorization". But anyone using that panel at all seems to get arrested for some infraction or other within a couple days of going down there. The closet itself? Oh, just ZG mops and treated rags, the regular stuff. u/billazilla

25. You can't use it or find it out in public, but there is a grey market trade in special culinary salts here. Seems the usual rationing just doesn't cut it for some folks, eh? u/billazilla

26. The captain is a flat earther. u/pistachino

27. One ot the astrogation-officers believes that pi is equal to 21/7 and refuses to calculate with anything more precise. u/maxsizels

28. Loading Dock 7A, the old one down on the underside next to the service ports? Yeah, it's got...something living in it. Buddy of mine was working down there on the graveyard shift about 3 cycles back. He set down his lunch pack for a moment to do something, but when he turned around it was covered in some kind of yellow goop. No he didn't touch it, he's not a freckin' idiot. He called a BioHaz alert on it and got shut up in the Q-suite for two weeks because of it. u/wshiii

29. Jars of what, to all scans and analysis, appear to be homemade preserves keep materializing on the station admin's desk. Camera feeds don't pick up anything. u/wshiii

30. The sudden, intense cleaning protocol is because the government big-wigs are using the station to negotiate with ALIENS!!!! u/adventux

31. Careful in docking bay 94, the doors have a small hole thats covered in duct tape. u/toymoose

32. There is a CCC robot in the docking bay that can answer any question you ask it. But you wouldn't want to talk to it. u/toymoose

33. There will be a poetry slam over at the bar. u/toymoose

34. Dude did you hear what happened on Argo Station! A whole crew was banned from ever going back. u/toymoose

35. Don't trust the humans. u/toymoose

36. Stay away from bay 7 during the dark shift. There are strange grunting noises coming from the pipes. u/toymoose

37. A wax sealed wooden box, containing the bones of a chicken, was found stashed in the radar arrays. The captain ordered the box removed and the radar went haywire. When the senior engineering officer examined it, they couldn't find anything wrong, and no amount of troubleshooting resolved the issue. A janitor put the box back, and the problems went away. u/th3r3493r

38. Someone is habitually pissing straight into the hydroponics and no one knows who is doing it. They might be the spurned ex of one of the hydroponics operators or someone who was recently fired from the department. u/th3r3493r

39. There is a guard on station who resembles a certain "adult film" star, but they don't want to talk about. Based on what those few who claim to have slept with them say, the rumors might be true. u/th3r3493r

40. There is a crazed homeless person on dock 5 which seems strangely competent when it comes to advanced technology, even the top of the line stuff. No one is certain on the why but they fix stuff cheaply and effectively. u/th3r3493r

41. The nickname for the station? "The Big One"? Yeah, it's because an early quartermaster here screwed and ended up with an extremely large cough male sex toy. The crew was about to ship it back when one of the V'rajian trade delegation heard about it. Well, you know how they are -  "openness" and "celebration of the self" and crap like that are religious ideals for them. He-They-She insisted that the item should stay and be put on display as an art piece in the main docking bay lobby as a symbol of TerraGov's virility and prowess. Somehow it got around that touching it was good luck, so every tourist and trader just had to have a go. It was years ago though, so the rubber eventually degraded and the thing had to be pitched. If you look carefully though, you can still see the circular mark from the suction cup.  u/wshiii

42. The "aliens" that keep showing up and getting whisked off to the DiploSuite for negotiations? Yeah, none of them are real xenos, man. They're all genetically-modified humans! u/wshiii

43. Don't trust those "Looking For Work? CREWDZ(tm)" posts on the 0pen-4rum; My creche-sister's buddy's adopted aunt's sister in law's aunt went missing after crowing about getting the job. u/maxsizels

44. Some crazed flesh-knitter is using 0pen-4rum (the free message board for the station) to harvest organs from the indigent looking for work. I heard they found a few victims down by the waste-treatment turbo-shafts. u/maxsizels

45. There's a crew of cannibal pirate raiders shanghai-ing people out of a few bars on the low-sec promenade. Real grungy looking, with faces like they could breath vacuum, and not a one without at least one chrome tooth. They flash a holo-badge, pretend to be under-cover security, and then the person they nab is never seen on the station again. I should know, I ain't ever seen those sec-offs before in my life, and I pay half the sec-offs in low-sec to keep their fingers off my gurlz! u/maxsizels

46. There's a guy in Tech 5 sector who can make a gun from plasma metal cutter. Not quite a gun for the military, you know, but it will do the job. u/mikeiva

47. You can ask for a special cocktail in Dead Spaceman bar. They say anyone who drinks it sees 5 minutes into the future, but the return to normal is very unpleasant. u/mikeiva

48. The baggage scanner in Dock 7 is a bit faulty. If you need to carry something without proper scanning, try there—the security team is often too lazy to fight the glitches. u/mikeiva

49. We can stop rationing! They've been able to contain the pest problem in Agri and there's even surplus protein paste for the synthesizers.

50. They've dispatched Unit 9 to deal with the water riots in the lower decks.

51. All the people who went to the party in Hab 13 are behaving strangely. Some say they have been replaced with android doppelgangers. u/world_of_ideas

52. There was something onboard that exploration vessel that docked 2 weeks ago. That's when the computer glitches started and when small unattended items started vanishing. u/world_of_ideas

53. Don't pal around with those "quaddie" freaks. They're belters from a colony that suffered a war-time geno-phage that gave them prehensile hands for all four limbs. Some of 'em are still contagious, and the gene-line is for sure dominant across breeding... your kids'll have hands for feet if you're not careful. u/maxsizels

54. A batch of "time-share body-swap read-writes for cash" went bad, and the victims are stuck piloting those loaner-droids and unable to swap back to their meat-bodies until the rich fuckers who took them out for a spin choose to stop squatting in them. Better hope they don't commit a crime that some max-sec bastard would take offense to and un-alive themselves. u/maxsizels

55. One of Smilin' Grim's Boiz was bragging 'e is one what knows a way past the max-sec sensors. Says there's a hole and 'e can smuggle anyfink thru it, at least once. u/maxsizels

56. Under every orcs ear is a brain worm spreading their rampaging to destroy planets. The brain worms lay their eggs in the shells of destroyed planets. u/scandinavicscum2000

57. The guy they found stashed in that cargo hold had to be carried in a gurney drone. Couldn't carry himself around. He'd been in zero G's like since ever. He was a "floater". Doubt he had stepped on a planet in his life. u/eurojuegosbsas

58. The station's long-range sensors are programmed with a security vulnerability, if you pulse your maneuvering drives at the right resonant frequency and in the right pattern, it'll swap your transponder codes with a random entry in the logs, and keep doing so for 24 hours. u/maxsizels

59. If you request "high-grade" refueling on dock V-XCII, 15 minutes after shift change, you'll be connected to a "special" concierge that expects payment in gold-pressed latinum for "services rendered". u/maxsizels

OG link was broken so I used the Wayback machine to find it again.

65. An impressively large, roughly carved tombstone with the names of the bandits’ fallen companions scrawled onto it with chalk, each name accompanied by a short, heartfelt sentence about the person’s best trait. A laid out log serves as a bench that has obviously been worn with use, and multiple piles of slightly wilted flowers and weeds litter the front and top of the marker.

66. A throne – if such a crudely constructed chair can be called such.

67. Dirty military fatigues – leftover from when the original members of this group deserted from the army.

83. The pieces of a crossbow. One limb is snapped in four places. Effort has clearly been made to fashion a new limb. Should the party gather the pieces and repair it, it is revealed to be a magical crossbow, although the magic is somewhat dampened by the repair.

[Lets Build] Braggadocious Bandits & their Ridiculous Requests

It isn't always all about the Benjamins.

1. Rigueur, Mortimus Rigueur: A suave necromancer demanding intel on a nearby locality. His undead agents aren't fooling anyone.

2. Tobias the Tickler: A mere mortal hoplessly in love with a despondent fey. Tobias strives to cure the creature's despair and win their love by eliciting as much laughter as posible, and has no scruples about it.

3. Harmony Hornblower: Not that has-been hack bandying about those banal ballads you hear in every tawdry tavern, but The Original Harmony Hornblower! The miserable minstral will let you by for a song—as long as it's an inspired anthem that will rocket them to stardom.

4. Larch: A large, lazy awakend evergreen just lying across the path. "What's the rush compadramigos, let's veg."

5. The Stinx: A witles sphinx that's bad at riddles. The Stinx does not only require answers, but also the riddles themselves; so as not to remain a laughingstock.

6. Petrovskey the pet rock: An awakened pet rock that is very excited to go on an adventure with their kid who dropped him while they were adventuring. The kid will be back any minute now to reunite. Its only been 40 years on the road side. u/thebluzer

8. Goblinoid Revolutionary Front: A band of goblinoids, that wishes their kind to be fully incorporated in general society, but wage a guerilla war against those that they deem as surpressors and tyrants. Convince them to pass, but not too much, or else they might try to recruit you. u/graxemno

9. The Merry Men: A band of alcoholic and powerful barbarians. They either challenge you to battle, or a series of challenges, meaning eating, drinking, wrestling and other kinds of contests. Winning is not important, just give a good enough show. u/graxemno

10. Vitles the Sheave. A robed, four armed experiment a head over the size of most men. He will only let the party pass without a fight if they correctly guess exactly how many fingers he is holding up behind his back. Be warned, he has the uncanny ability to shapeshift his hands into various forms. u/stillnoname

11. A Bereaved Farmer. He asks for aid, as, whilst he was transporting his stock to market, a mischievous fey turned one of his cabbages into a carnivore, a passing fox into a vegetarian, and one of his chickens into a plant-base lifeform. He asks that the heroes either hunt down the fey or help him deduce which plants and animals are safe to bring with the rest. u/stillnoname

12. An annoyed pictographer. The party has accidentally stumbled into a very slow photoshoot; the shutter bug in question is a dwarven tinkerer and the group has just passed through a year-long exposure shot titled Pebbles in motion, depicting tiny earth elementals migrating. He demands recompense in the form of an extremely detailed recounting of an impressive creature the players have previously encountered, that he can add to his beastiary instead. u/stillnoname

13. Pwincess da Powerful: An overweight gnoll the size of an ogre blocks the path. She is dressed gaudily, and has a variety of unwieldy weaponry with her. She does not outright threaten the party, but uses her size to intimidate the members into feeding and amusing her. u/snakebite262

14. IronJaw: Ironjaw is a rather annoying gnoll, heavily scarred and sporting several homemade prosthetics. Ironjaw wants the party to help test out his latest invention. u/snakebite262

17. Do'Luna the Great: A female dragonborn dressed in an ill fitting, black highwayman's outfit is seen hanging from a tree. Originally red, she is now pink with polkadots, and seems to have been inflated like a balloon. She begs the party for help in finding the wizard who cursed her. u/snakebite262

18. Dok and Grox: A female Goblin and Troll, who are dressed remarkably well. They'll offer to gamble with the PCs, though the two cheat like mad. However, catching them is easier said than done. u/snakebite262

19. Gin the Annoying: An annoying Niblog who refuses to leave the adventurers alone. If she gets too bored, she'll begin cursing and jinxing the party. Worse yet, killing her will only have her possess another goblin to begin the torture anew! u/snakebite262

20. Mace's Marauders. A band of bandits led by their bald human leader, Mace Muldoon. He boastfully claims that he is named after his favorite weapon, the mace. However, if you point out that the weapon he wields is not a mace, but a flail, his boisterous band will taunt him, calling him "Flailin' Muldoon". He'll run off embarrassed, and the bandits will have a good laugh. u/raykendo

21. Drumph the Huge - a halfing merchant who will approach the party and offer anything the party is looking for or wants, and promise the absolute best version of it. He will ask for half the money upfront. He will in no way ever deliver on his promise. u/springpfeiffer

22. Merovech Faustina, Defender of Green, Tribune of Forestry, Consul of Agriculture, Head of Natural Resources: Is a "Noble" who is wanted for stealing Royal Shrubberies! and wants you to acquire more shrubberies. Has been known to work with The Knights of Knee! u/adventux

24. Zit the Pit: A scrawny kobold looks down from the rim of the pit trap they (unsurprisingly) dug in the middle of the trail. Zit is a connisseur of stone fruits and is collecting the seeds of exotic fruit trees for their orchard.

25. Squint: The nearsighted head of this ettin ruffian is wearing half of a pair spectacles that correct its bad eyesight, the other head is irate the other lens doesn't rectify its farsightedness.

26. Poor Su'vlee: Su'vlee is a scrawny and nervous gnoll who is fairly down on her luck. Dressed in the most stereotypical bandit gear (including a nose-bandana) she attempts to threaten the PCs before doubling down in pain. Rendered unable to move, she begs the PCs for help, her stomach rumbling. Su'vlee has consumed some raw troll flesh, which threatens to grow into a troll...while in her stomach. u/snakebite262

27. Marvelous Alexander: An extremely sneaky elf who enjoys graffitiing his opponents. He'll ask the party if they want him to customize their gear/cart/horse/etc. Regardless of whether they say yes or no, he'll still paint SOMETHING of theirs. u/snakebite262

28. The T-1000 Security Golem: An Iron Golem stands amongst a group of corpses. He demands that you stay away from Mr. Ouo, a dead halfling who is leaning against a tree. Investigstion reveals that Mr. Ouo was injured, and when medical care came to help him, they were killed by the golem. u/snakebite262

29. Don. Kei's Oatmeal Coffees: A very dangerous-looking man sits in a cart with arcane machinery. He insists the party purchase expensive coffees or food items in order to use "his road". The fare IS extremely delicious. u/snakebite262

30. Little Old Lady Wu: A little old lady can be seen selling cheaply-made pastries. Should one of the PC's eat a pastry, she'll put up a sign selling expensive antidotes. (The woman is a hag, so don't get any ideas. Likewise, she won't confirm if the pastries are ACTUALLY poisoned.) u/snakebite262

31. Blind Marvin: A human threatens the party with a fairly nice bow. He's waiting for his coworkers to return, but can't really identify anyone by sight. u/snakebite262

32. Hugh Man: Something that is most clearly not a human seems to be attempting to be one. He attempts to make polite conversation, despite sounding discordant and broken. Bringing up his odd nature once will have him try to laugh it off. Twice.... and you'll find the hoard of spiders controlling the body gets a bit more aggressive. u/snakebite262

33. Di'trex of Mosu'rai: The noble of a far-off kingdom, Di was banished for some reason she considers utterly unfair (It's not her fault that the servants were so fragile.) She's extremely well armored and desires to chat about the latest nobility-related gossip. She'll order around "poorer" PCs. u/snakebite262

34. Warlick the Cultist: A strange, emaciated creature smiles in an oversized robe. He offers to share the teachings of his master, and won't be disduaded. u/snakebite262

35. Lombar and Dehl: A pair of puppets are seen behind a small stage. They'll perform for a short period of time, but over time, their performance becomes a lot more hostile towards the PCs. If given enough time, they will start blackmailing the PCs with facts that only the PCs know. Should the PCs attack the puppets or look behind the stage, the puppets will disappear, and no one will be found. u/snakebite262

36. The Hooligans: A group of gnolls, goblins, orcs, and other monstrous races can be seen having a small party. They seem to be celebrating a recent sports match. Whatever sport they're talking about is strange and alien to the PCs, but the Hooligans will react poorly to anyone they think is showing (intentional or not) support for a rival team. u/snakebite262

37. Laughing Stock: A runt-of-the-litter gnoll can be seen in a trap in a tree wearing a clown costume. She is covered in warning signs, unflattering messangers, and rotten fruit. She asks the players politely if they can get her down. (Note: She's a bit of a kleptomaniac, who adores shiny/expensive-looking items). u/snakebite262

38. Sleepy Din: A bedragled dwarf begs the party to help. He's been trying to sleep for the past 5 days, but can't because a band of kobolds near his house WON'T STOP PLAYING THEIR MUSIC! u/snakebite262

39. Frank Frankly, Attorney at Law: A well-dressed "man" seems to be searching for his "client". He's totally not a devil looking to finish his contract. Totally not! By the way, Frank does offer his legal services to the party....for a price. u/snakebite262

40. Ozzy: A traveller from an antique land stands near a destroyed camp. He recites the poem Ozymandias by one Percy Bysshe Shelley before disappearing into the ether. u/snakebite262

41. The Creepy Old Man who Lives in the Woods: A creepy old human who lives in the woods points at any nearby haunted structure and warns adventurers NOT TO GO TO THE HAUNTED AREA. Whether it's actually haunted or being "haunted" by the old man is a different matter. u/snakebite262

42. Your #1 Fan: A mysterious individual seems to be following the party. They can't easily be seen, and they seem to be wearing a makeshift gilly suit. If caught, they will reveal that they're one the of PC's #1 fan. Should the PC keep them around, the #1 Fan will make their life a living hell. u/snakebite262

43. Vi the Vexxing: The PCs find a tabaxi who is stuck in a tree. The tabaxi WAS planning on ambushing some nearby merchants, but realized that they were deathly afraid of heights AFTER climbing up. u/snakebite262

44. Nell the Reporter: A female gnome reporter is around, looking for her next big story. She will interview the PCs, taking pictures of them and asking them nonsensical questions. In the next town over, they'll find that they're on the front page of some rumor rag. u/snakebite262

45. Pox the Vagrant: A down-on-their-luck gnoll can be seen lounging by a nearby tree. They are remarkably drunk, and continuing to drink from a nearby crate of wine (it fell off a wagon...). They will gossip with the party, providing particularly juicy tidbits should they be provided with food, more drink, or valuables. u/snakebite262

46. Blyt the Pestulant: A pox covered creature of no discernible race or gender lurches into the way, "come no closer, it's catching." they warn, as a boil oozes puss. Blyt will move out of the way for any meager treasure, but really desires to be rid of the curse that plagues them.

47. Reginald Kingsblood IIII: A haughty aristocrat in tattered finery and his 'loyal men' surround the group. Reginald was recently overthrone in a peasant uprising and is conscripting an army to retake his crown. The 'loyal men' don't seem quite as eager as their 'lord'.

48. Willam the Jackal: A scrawny werebeast with matted fur crouches behind a rock by the entrance to a dark tunnel. Anyone trying to enter the tunnel discovers it is merely painted on the face of a cliff. Willam explains that their nemisis, a speedy werebird, possesses a charm that allows it to pass through; the party is welcome to the charm if they help Willam capture the beast.

49. Ma Canker: A cigar smoking goblin matriarch, holding a fuse, yellss out from the end of the bridge, "Not one step further, I gott'er rigger ta blow!" One of her 'younguns' has "done run off with a ne'er-do-well vagrant again," and needs to be hauled back, "hogtied and hollerin', if needs be."

50. Mica Stonesinger: A calloused dwarf is sheperding a flock of 'endangered cockatrice on their seasonal migration'. Mica can get the creatures to move out of the way and even has a remedy for petrification, "but, iffin it's no bother, just wee donation to the conservatory for the darlings."

My party is going to do some multi-day long trips. I want to have a list of encounters that I have them run into. I want them to play put as traps or skill challenges, including combat, just stuff that will take up resources so they don't arrive at the quest location fully healed. Something that either accounts for different terrains, or can work with any terrains, would be great.

Some suggestions

1. Ambushed by goblins

2. Crossing a rickety bridge

3. Sneaking past some kind of sleeping monster(s)

4. Crossing a difficult stretch of mountains

5. Players come across a burning building

Let's crowdsource a table of all the horrible things that can befall you as a result of the Fomorian Evil Eye. Mechanically, the curse halves your movement and grants disadvantage on saving throws, ability checks, and STR or DEX attacks. So anything that affects the ability to move or perceive is on-brand.

1. A fully articulated pair of baby arms grows out of your neck. They begin grasping at anything within reach.
2. Your legs now bend backwards at the knee.
3. You grow a twenty-pound rack of antlers.
4. Mouths full of jagged teeth opens on the palms of your hands and the soles of your feet. They chew on any tool or fabric within reach.
5. A shrunken head grows from the center of your chest, staring up at you. It tries to tell you something important, but it can't speak coherently.
6. Your ears become a pair of albatross wings, which flap powerfully of their own accord.

I was bored today and decided to make some dumb magic items for my table. It's certainly possible that similar items have been thought of before.

1. Wand of Bunishment - You can cause bread to disappear.
2. Wand of Frying - As an action, you can point this at a piece of food and fry it to perfection.
3. Wand of Cloud of Doggers - Once per day this wand summons 15 fluffy puppies that immediately run toward the nearest target and begin jumping and begging for pets. Target must succeed on a DC 12 DEX save or be knocked prone. You can command the puppies to retreat using a bonus action, and they disappear after 1 minute. The puppies cannot be harmed.
4. Goggles of Blink - These goggles occasionally emit an incredibly bright light in the wearer's eyes, causing them to blink.
5. Fame Blade - This sentient sword asks anyone nearby, "Don't you know who I am?"
6. Lesser Wand of Locate Object - While holding this wand, describe or name an object that is familiar to you. You sense the direction to the object's location if that object is within 10 feet of you.
7. Wand of Power Word Heel - You point this wand at a dog and say the command word. The dog immediately stays by your side.

Hey there i'am creating a homebrew campaign , and i'am asking you guys to give me names for a :

Tibe 1 (barbarians)

Tribe 2

A fertile soil village

A fishing village

A cave

and a town near a mountain full of academic sorcerers

I'd like to create a table with random prompts for roleplay during downtime, something that players can not only think about but also encourages small interactions with the world, and in turn encourages others to engage with the person who picked up the prompt.

I'll use this at a classic D&D table for downtime text RP, so it'd be nice to stick with that kind of vibe and fantasy era.

UPDATE: We already got over 100, but I love them all so much, I'd happily continue expanding the list! Then it's easily customizable to the location your characters are in when you're rolling, e.g. is there a town or nature nearby...

164. You find a white downy feather, but when picking it up, it feels heavy as a rock.
165. On a little foraging spree along the coastline, you find a handful of colorful, smoothed glass shards that catch the sunlight oh so wonderfully.
166. The scarecrow on the fields could use a little make-over session.
167. You find a black pebble that is strangely warm to the touch.
168. You just can’t shake the feeling that you’re being watched today…
169. Time for a new haircut. Will you try it yourself or find someone else to do it?
170. Hmm, how exactly would one test what happens if an unstoppable force hits an immovable object?
171. You find a feather with the pattern of a jay, but much larger in size.
172. You find a well-loved but forgotten doll in a blue dress. Her button eyes are staring at you.
173. Was that the church bell ringing? Wait, do we have a church bell?
174. Your God would like to talk with you, and please bring a friend.
175. You feel like picking the prettiest flowers and making a wreath out of it. Would you wear it, or is it for someone else?
176. How hard could it be to spend a day without using your dominant hand?
177. Today, you set out with the goal to make at least three people smile.
178. Today is Opposite Day. Let’s start by eating dinner for breakfast.
179. You definitely need a second opinion on something.
180. Something you need is so high up that it’s just out of your reach.
181. You decide to learn everyone's favorite food.
182. You pick a random direction and start walking in a straight line. How far can you go?
183. You spot a strange looking plant and wonder if you know anyone who could help identifying it.
184. Can you craft a boat out of wood or paper that actually floats?
185. Looking around, you realize you've never tested just how far your voice carries.
186. Wait, did you just hear an echo there? Better test it out – echo, echo!
187. You suddenly realize you've never asked anyone how they learned their trade.
188. To keep your enemies on their toes, you must not become too predictable. Maybe someone can teach you a new fighting technique?
189. You spot an old, clam-covered rowboat down at the beach. With some tar to seal the holes, it might survive another small trip.

Taking my inspiration from this post, I completed a d100 food fight table and ran a food fight encounter for my party of 3 level 8 PCs. The rules of the food fight event were pretty simple:

No weapons, armor, spells, or druid shapeshifting allowed, except what was obtained in the food fight.

Each turn, a player could:

• Lose all gear, roll on the d100 table, and attack/cast if a weapon or spell was rolled
• or, Reuse a weapon obtained in a previous round

In addition, summoned creatures obtained in the food fight persisted between rounds and got the same initiative roll as the PC who summoned them.

When a combatant "died" (all damage was nonlethal), their summons went away, too.

Smite effects would be added to an unarmed melee attack.

Here are a few ideas I managed to come up with.

1. Your breath is always visible—even at 35°C.

2. You either don't feel temperature changes at all, or you perceive them in reverse. In the first case, it always feels like room temperature (around 18°C–22°C) to you. In the second, the warmer it is for others, the colder it feels to you, and vice versa.

3. Whenever you appear somewhere (in a room, an apartment, or within a radius of about 5 meters)...

4. You can move across ice as if wearing skates, even with bare feet.

5. You can freeze objects just by touching them; for instance, you could freeze someone's food as a prank.

6. As you get agitated, you increasingly resemble an ice creature: your skin turns pale blue, your eyes glow blue, and icicles or ice spikes begin to grow from you.

7. When you genuinely like someone, you create an ice statue of them (or something similar) and treat it like a work of art, keeping it in a special place like a collection (much like Mr. Freeze in *Arkham City*).

8. You can create "Endothermic Fire"; it is blue and generates cold instead of heat.

9. You are cold to the touch—almost as if you were dead.

10. You prefer cool colors over warm ones.

11. When using "Magic Armor," ice covers your entire body and clothing; this ice cannot melt or crack as long as the spell remains active.

12. If you possess a tower, castle, fortress, or similar structure, it is made of ice (or ice is a key element of its construction). It even affects its surroundings (cooling the area, creating snow, etc.).

I’d like to hear your ideas. Mine might not be the best, but I tried to come up with good ones.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

I’d like a handful of short lists (organised by theme based on location) of entries relating to dungeons and other cave systems. I’m primarily looking for simple answers, even if Others breaks this rule. References are acceptable if they are broad enough.
——————————————————

Town/City

1. The cellar of a storage house where salted fish, cheese wheels and wine are kept. The east wall is hollow and conceals a system of caves, provided one finds the right brick with the weak spot.
2. Inside the old wind-powered grist-mill on the hill, behind one of the oversized gears is a hatch just large enough to crawl through. [By MaxSizeIs]
3. Inside the rusted out remains of a greenhouse on the grounds of an old mansion, a gate made from a rose trellis and ivy. [By MaxSizeIs]
4. Behind the stacks of the great Scriptorium deep withing the Imperial Archives. The secret entrance requires sorting and correctly re-shelving the dusty scrolls, before the wall will open. [By MaxSizeIs]
5. One of the great barrels of the old brewery conceals a tunnel into the underbelly. [By MaxSizeIs]
6. An abandoned, lichen-covered well sits within old ruins in a part of town home only to vagrants. It is covered with a flimsy wood panel, and not only the hardest of men approach it. Inside there is a long drop, leading to a sprawling cave system. [By Protowriter469]
7. An eccentric town doctor owns a large hospital building with a relatively large staff. His assistants struggle to remember what they do inside whenever they're out. Turns out the doctor is trying to create the perfect being and dumps his rejects underground into an abandoned mine. [By Protowriter469]
8. A tall mirror is affixed to a wall. A character drops a piece of paper and watches as it flies to the mirrors edge. Behind the mirror is a tunnel, its air current pulling from the room. [By Protowriter469]
9. A town square is marked with runes of a war god. Destroying the runes collapses the center of town and gains the attention of said god. [By Protowriter469]
10. The town worships a tree with a trunk that frighteningly resembles a face. Removing the face reveals a tunnel going downward into a mad wizard's hideout. [By Protowriter469]
11. Beneath the town all houses have connected shelters in case of attack. One of the townspeople harbors a dark secret and has a pact with vampires for whom he's been digging a tunnel. [By Protowriter469]
12. A character realizes the square footage inside the inn is different from how it looks outside. Somehow, it's larger inside than out. Investigation leads to a trap door beneath the inn, revealing long, brick hallways that seem to stretch endlessly. [By Protowriter469]
13. In an abandoned house, you see a heavy blanket being used as rug. By lifting the blanket rug, you find a hatch to an unusual small basement. In the basement you feel a soft breeze with either pleasant or unpleasant scents lingering in the small room from a wall that seems slightly offset from the other walls. Pushing in the wall or removing bricks reveals the opening to the dungeon. [By Th3R3493r]
14. In a warehouse, you find the crates have been placed in such a way that the crates formed a maze like passage way. In one part of the maze is a ladder that leads to the top of the crates and following the crate maze path leads to a ladder that descends into a dark pit. [By Th3R3493r]
15. In the lavatory of an unpopular seedy tavern, you find a hole (about waist height) cut into the wall to a neighboring room. Problem is that there is not a neighboring room to the bathroom in and looking through the hole you see a door that is not on the other side of the wall that would be there and the opening of the dungeon. By acting you are turning a doorknob where the doorknob should be, the wall opens up and you can access the impossible room and the dungeon within. [By Th3R3493r]
16. At the bottom of this Great Shaft, is the ruins of a once Grand Elevator. Its wreckage blocks the dungeon below. [By MaxSizeIs]
17. A heavy reinforced door in the sewers. The workers broke through into the cave when building the sewers. It was eventually decided to put a door there, rather than sealing it off. [By World_of_Ideas]
18. A lift built next to a giant sink hole in the middle of town. The lift lowers adventurers thousands of feet down into a giant cave system. [By World_of_Ideas]
19. Inside a mausoleum. If you open a specific crypt, it contains stairs leading down. [By World_of_Ideas]
20. Behind a store front. The store charges an admission fee to enter the dungeon. They also sell adventuring gear and maps of the few explored levels. [By World_of_Ideas]

Forests, Fields and Hills

1. What appears to be a hill has an entrance with a wooden door. Seven stone slabs are arranged around the hill. To reach the hill at all, you need to follow a specific sequence of steps to interact with these stones.
2. On a hillside lies a half-buried mine shaft. If you go deep enough and follow the illegible signposts, you’ll find a sophisticated network of mine railways. The lorries are linked together in chains.
3. In the middle of the woods, stands a locked door. No structure around just a door. which side you go thru decides where you start the dungeon. Both sides are locked and need to be unlocked to enter. [By Adventux]
4. Tucked into the rock layers at the bottom edge of the escarpment is a thin crevice just barely big enough to fit a person, with a piton bearing a climbing rope that disappears far down into winding rock passages. You'll have to do something about your big bulky packs and armor before you even try it. [By gtetr2]
5. After thousands of years on a small hill, this mammoth tree's roots have torn apart the dirt below into a maze of leaf-littered passages flanked by walls of wood and earth alike. You're looking for a trapdoor somewhere in the composting mess. [By gtetr2]
6. At the bottom of a spring-fed lake, some thirty feet underwater. Freshwater rushes out of the spring there, and the dungeon is on the other side of the spring. [By MaxSizeIs]
7. A large metal grate, covering a ventilation shaft. It may lead to a large mine or an underground city. [By World_of_Ideas]
8. A large tree stump. Someone had built a secret hatch into the top of it. It has a ladder or spiral staircase leading down. [By World_of_Ideas]
9. A small unassuming hut. It appears to be an abandoned hermit's hut in the middle of nowhere. If one finds the secret button and pushes it, the entire floor begins to lower into the depths. [By World_of_Ideas]
10. A giant insect mound. The mound itself is large enough to be a dungeon or it connects to a large cave system. [By World_of_Ideas]
11. A giant tree stands over a thousand feet tall. If you climb to a certain branch, you will find a hole carved out by some creature. Within, a passageway spirals down through the trunk to beneath its roots. There you will find the dungeon. [By World_of_Ideas]
12. Beneath a giant skull in a monster graveyard. [By World_of_Ideas]
13. There is a cave where the forest meets a cliff face. You can climb one of the larger trees and cross its branches to reach the entrance. [By World_of_Ideas]

Ruins, Fortresses and Mountains

1. Off the hiking trail leading to the mountain ridge lies a gate sealed with a magical sigil, which requires a password in the correct language. The relief is the work of ancient dwarven craftsmanship.
2. In a small wood stands a wizard’s tower, which appears to be abandoned. When someone enters it, they notice that the stairs lead downwards rather than upwards.
3. At the snowy peak of the mountain, just below the summit, is a meticulously-carved circular opening lined with stone bricks. The entrance was hastily clogged, certainly by magic, with a dense wall of person-sized ice crystals; a crude warning is scrawled on the rock nearby. [By gtetr2]
4. A cave behind a waterfall that flows over a cliff. There is a narrow ledge leading up to it. [By World_of_Ideas]
5. A mountain top has been carved into the shape of a (humanoid, monster) skull. Entering its mouth leads to a cave system. [By World_of_Ideas]
6. A recent (earthquake, landslide) has opened an entrance in a cliff wall or hill side. [By World_of_Ideas]
7. A sea cave in a cliff side. It could lead to an underground (city, seaport, pirate base, sea monster's lair). It could have a network of underground waterways that allow one to travel by ship to various points on the continent. [By World_of_Ideas]
8. A secret hatch under a terracotta soldier. The solder is one of hundreds, in the ruins. Moving this one, reveals a ladder going down. [By World_of_Ideas]
9. A narrow winding canyon snakes through the mountains. At its end you will find a temple carved into the cliff face. Beyond the temple passageways lies a large cave system. [By World_of_Ideas]
10. A rope bridge that disappears into the fog. It either ends in a cave or you just sort of appear in a cave. [By World_of_Ideas]
11. The dungeon lies within a large fortress designed to keep things from getting out. At its center one can find a giant set of metal doors that have been magically sealed with runes. [By World_of_Ideas]
12. There is a cave in a cliff face. To reach it, one must climb up a narrow winding path and then cross a 100 foot section of pitons used as hand and foot holds. [By World_of_Ideas]
13. There is a hole with a tiny tunnel, that you can barely squeeze through. If you can worm you way through 30 or 40 feet, it opens up into a larger cave system. [By World_of_Ideas]

Deserts and Pyramids

1. In a sheltered valley lies, it is said, the entrance to the mausoleum of the last great queen before the great deluge, whose name has been buried in oblivion. The bones warn would-be intruders of the dangers concealed in the darkness.
2. The entrance is a thick stone square with no lock, no gaps, and no detectable magic. The dungeon was sealed off by powerful telekinetics, who designed a mundane geared-and-tracked mechanism by which the "door" moves only under a code-like series of pushes, say, "up slightly, then back, then hinge to the left". Adventurers may need an alternative method. [By gtetr2]
3. A sandstone slab carved with eroded and weather-worn curses cover the entrance, found on the side of the wall, within the cool damp of the desert qanat, an underground aqueduct in the desert. [By MaxSizeIs]
4. Behind the giant bronze statue of an well-endowed angelic goddess bearing a lantern, inside the once-grand ruins of the ancient temple bathhouse. The trick maybe involves fiddling with the lantern. [By MaxSizeIs]
5. A crack in a canyon wall leads to a cave system. [By World_of_Ideas]
6. A sand storm has uncovered a previously buried building. The building contains stairs into the depths. [By World_of_Ideas]
7. One of the giant statues of an ancient (hero, king, queen, god) has toppled over. It has fallen onto a hillside, smashing an opening in the wall. [By World_of_Ideas]
8. At the base of a giant sphinx statue is a stone door. [By World_of_Ideas]
9. The lair of a giant trapdoor spider. If you can get past the spider, a crack in the wall of its den leads to a larger cave system. [By World_of_Ideas]
10. Whirlpool of sand. Anything that gets sucked down into it, ends up in the dungeon. Getting back out is a bit trickier. [By World_of_Ideas]

Others (I don’t know where else we could find them)

1. Far from civilisation lie the ruins of a tower, the remains of which still reach high into the sky. No one can decipher the markings and symbols on the walls, which accompany the images that, despite their simplicity, are unsettling. In the midst of it all is a gaping hole that seems like an all-consuming maw.
2. There is a cave on a cliff that can only be reached at low tide on one particular night. The local mermaids and mermen keep their distance from the place and rumour has it that a sea monster lives inside, luring people in with false promises.
3. In the distant center, flush with the reflective surface of a great salt lake-bed. [By MaxSizeIs]
4. Deep in steep, bramble-choked ravines made of shale, crowding a narrow brown stream, foul & alkaline with impurities, an underpopulated hollow clings to the slope around a single soot-blackened mill chimney that predates local memory. Behind it sprawls a terraced junkyard of twisted boilers, cracked lenses, shattered drills, & fragments of machines that do not belong to this place or this age. A loosely kept secret is: twice a season, a thin violet seam opens beside the chimney & disgorges debris from elsewhere: failed constructs, war-wreckage, & devices never fully dead. [By MaxSizeIs]
5. At the bottom of an abyssal trench, slowly being buried at a rate no greater than that which one's fingernails grow. It is halfway closed by now, who knows how long remains before it finally is sealed forever. [By MaxSizeIs]
6. A cave opening or hatch in the top of a natural tower. [By World_of_Ideas]
7. A small 12ft tall pyramid, with a single entrance. Inside is a pedestal with an arrangement of gem stones. The doorway is actually a portal. Altering the arrangement of the gemstones changes where the door takes you. One of those places is the dungeon or a large cave system. [By World_of_Ideas]
8. Behind a secret door, a passageway or stairway leads to a cave system. [By World_of_Ideas]
9. In the center of a crater. The meteor impact that created it, broke a hole into the roof of the cave system. [By World_of_Ideas]
10. The tunnel left behind when an underground monster burst through the surface. Tunnel leads to or intersects a large cave system. [By World_of_Ideas]
11. At a specific unremarkable patch of ground, speaking the magic phrase or performing the magic ritual causes a building to rise up out of the ground. It has a stairway or sloping passageway down. [By World_of_Ideas]
12. A trash chute in a mage's workshop. At the bottom is a large cave system with a huge pile of corpses. [By World_of_Ideas]
13. The dungeon is within a magic chest. Opening it reveals a ladder or stairway down. Even if the chest is moved, it leads to the dungeon. [By World_of_Ideas]
14. The dungeon is within a magic picture. One just needs to know the magic phrase to enter the depicted world. [By World_of_Ideas]

Honorable Mentions

1. For Whitevault Research Camp, an isolated, icy outpost meant to study ancient ruins found beneath a glacier, the Collegiate had to construct a base camp from timber, brought in at great expense, as well as magically-created stone foundations resting on nothing by miles thick ice and slowly settling as time goes on and snow piles up outside against them. On the surface & partly buried by the blowing snow, is a banded iron and timber hatch roughly sealing the manually widened crevasse, which must be laboriously cleared and re-seated as the glacial ice drifts and shifts due to natural movement. A rickety collection of scavenged rope and timber serves as a makeshift ladder and crane for the mile long traversal into the actual tunnels proper. [By MaxSizeIs]
2. Ascending the underside of a giant, natural limestone bridge formation above an isolated village, & entering a large demiplanar portal covered by elegant jade-inlaid stone doors carved with magical precision. The doors only allow groups entry in the presence of a true-born resident, a child raised entirely in the village, & then only once in each child’s lifetime, & for only one hour, before the portal & its magically warded doors close once more. No ropes, ladders, or stairs are allowed on the bridge, of course, & the door itself is several hundred feet above the small village below. [By MaxSizeIs]
3. Some 50 years ago, during the climactic battle against Magmon the Doombringer, a Magma Leviathan on a rampage, the Great Hero brought down their mighty weapon upon the face of Mt. Terrible, cleaving the top third and causing it to move over the top of and block the main entrance to the dungeon under 3000 feet of solid stone. Magmon's lava-blood flowed into every known opening and crevice leading to the dungeon within, sealing the inside. Our sages reveal that the lava has only recently cooled enough for an expedition to begin excavating the mountain to access the dungeon. [By MaxSizeIs]

I wanted to build a Pathfinder character who is a witch, and I wanted to know if you had any ideas for quirks for such a character.

Here are my ideas:

1. You have a ton of stuffed animals that you treat as familiars.
2. You can't stop collecting all sorts of alchemical ingredients.
3. You have a really weird laugh, but seriously weird.
4. You have a voodoo doll that you use as a weapon (even if it doesn't work).
5. If you have a familiar, certain animals that are similar to your familiar like you more than others.

Sorry for only 5 ideas, I didn't have more, but I'll probably add more later

My players are in a sprawling metropolis and I needed a table of random city shops and buildings to quickly answer the question: "I duck inside a shop... what kind of shop is it?" I couldn't find a list I liked online, I created something myself!
