    D&D General Help me avoid “Chosen Ones” trope

    This has been a fantastic bunch of ideas. Thanks for all the input! I’m pulling bits and pieces from of a lot of your responses.

    D&D General Help me avoid “Chosen Ones” trope

    A major “gimmick” in my upcoming campaign is the existence of these tiny fragments of divinity that look like sharp gemstones (I have fun props for these when they appear) that can appear as treasure or even “manifest” from slain creatures. Those who find them can absorb these fragments into...

    D&D General How involved are your gods?

    So my next campaign is a homebrew setting where there are Gods of Civilization and Gods of the Wild (with more focus on Law vs Chaos than Good vs Evil), and I wanted to have some moments here and there where the party actually encounters a god or two. Something like what you see in the Percy...

    Sci-Fi Game: Inject Yourself with Alien DNA

    So I’m developing a Sci-Fi campaign (GURPS) and from the beginning I’ve had this concept of “genetic fusers” which are basically an injection of alien DNA that grants you some of the alien’s abilities, though with some risks. In my first versions of the campaign the PCs would have to take a...

    D&D 5E Five Unique Mage Encounters

    So my Level 9 players have decided to form a sort of Hit Squad bent on taking out a cabal of five nefarious mages. The mages live in various locations throughout the land, and secretly work together to manipulate politics. I hadn’t really planned for the Party to actually meet these “puppet...

    Creative Terrain

    I'm sure that this question has been asked before, but I'm pretty new to this forum, and I didn't see it mentioned recently. As a DM I have realized that I do not make use of creative terrain as often as I should. What are some creative or challenging settings for combat encounters? DMs...

    Building a 4E sandbox: How would you do it?

    I also found Wampus' link to be extremely interesting (even inspiring). It does occur to me though, Halivar, that the true Sandbox campaign is usually quite different to play and not just to DM. Sandbox games fit well with kick-in-the-door, monster-mash, treasure-grab players and may not be as...

    Need a giant/troll adventure

    Any recommendations for an adventure that heavily features giants, ogres, and/or trolls? The players are low Paragon level 4e, but it doesn't really matter. I'd be willing to farm anything for ideas. Published adventures welcome, along with just general ideas for creative encounters. I've...
