Puzzle Idea

Door of Dooring

Description: A heavy metal (❌🤘) door, without any inscription or mysterious entity guarding it, in a completely empty room. Oh and also without a handle or a key hole. The players can’t sense any sort of magic coming from it.

Functionality: It’s a one way door. The players must find a way to open it from the inside, like using daggers in the space between the door and the wall to pull it or with magic.

Inspiration: …I closed myself in a walk-in-freezer accidentally. For 30 minutes, which is probably less than how much time your players are gonna spend trying to understand what’s the deal with this door.

Magic Item Idea

Paper Knife

Description: A piece of paper with a drawing of a knife. The piece of paper can’t be burned or destroyed as long as it has charges. Per each charges used, the knife drawn gets more and more covered in blood. Recharges every day.

Functionality: 23/day you can touch the piece of paper and point at an enemy that immediately suffer 1d4 piercing damage, or 1d6 if outside of combat (this action starts combat)

Inspiration: @trilliath’s mom

I was explaining to my mom about how tumblr is excited for the ides of march tomorrow, and celebrating the assassination of a corrupt politician etc. etc. and she goes, "Oh! So what do we wear!"

And I said, "IDK a knife?"

And she said, "Ohh, I don't think I can get away with that at the conference. But I know, I'll draw a picture of a knife and carry it around in my pocket and get a giggle out of it whenever I look in my pocket!"

Anyway my mom's brilliant and I think we should all carry paper knives tomorrow.

Oneshot / Campaign idea:

Hydration

Plot: The players meet an Hydra in the middle of the desert, wounded and burned, she begs for help to return to a place with enough water for her to live peacefully. Your player can see that: some of her scales are missing and the skin is burning red due to the sun, the Hydra can’t move on it’s own because her legs were cut, then a metal disc was placed on the burnt meat and finally sealed with long nails into the legs of the Hydra, the number of her head is significantly higher than what expected because to survive the heads had to eat each other.

The Hydra tried to move with her heads but it’s simply too difficult and dangerous since the sand burns too.

Give to one of the player a magic compass to know where to find a large body of water or make that they just know that.

The Hydra can speak Common, because she learnt it when she was little.

The Hydra is now Neutral Good, because she was sent into the desert by a sorcerer who put her there for torture for what she did to his village, now she’s sorry and aims to become a better Hydra.

You can choose the name of the Hydra, make the players decide because she never had one or call her Varixia or Molly

If they help her the Hydra will give them:

Her blood (= health potions), All the scales that fall due to the sun (=armor material), the teeth of the heads that the others will eat (=arrow head or jewellery), the heads of the eaten parts (If kept like normally it can sell high because it’s a valuable trophy, but it can even be modified a bit with the help of the Hydra to make it a powerful shield that one time per round can use a bonus action of the holder to bite an enemy in a 5ft radius).

And the players will be able to eat with the Hydra (yes, eat the Hydra’s heads, but she’s cool with it)

Inspiration:

Hydras are described as reptiles, roam around places with water like swamps and have a swim speed of 30ft.

Campaign Idea:

Journey (yeah it’s bland, but I preferred a simple one for this)

Plot: A group of friends decide to begin a journey around the world to see things that they only read in books or heard the adventurers talk about: the ocean, seas, mountains, snow, goblins, dragons, etc etc. just to fulfil their curiosity

Tip: Add things that the character believe real like the others but actually are just lies that the adventurers or adults told them and they still believe them. Maybe because they’re a bit gullible (for a barbarian to add a little spice to the simple “barbarian=stupid” thing) or maybe because they actually made a list of all the things they want to see and selected, wrongly, those who they have doubts that exist (wizard), etc etc

Inspiration: From this awesome thread above (thanks to @tolkien-fantasy and @lord-westley)

I love hearing stories of people who have never seen snow or mountains. I personally have never seen the ocean before, I've never even been outside the US, but I still can't imagine life without the mountains outside my window or snow on the ground. I just feel the need to share these things with people who have never seen them, just like I've never seen the ocean. How two members of a single species can live completely different lives is something so special to me

So here's some mountains for those who have never been :)

I can hear Geese outside too haha

Magic Item

Kobold Bank

Description: A small Kobold made of porcelain, you can put coins in there and it will possibly add a few more when you collect them.

Functionality: Xd4 - (X/2) Where X is the total of coins you put inside the Kobold Bank. To function, X needs to be an even number, if you shake the Kobold Bank and X is an odd number you roll 1d4

1= nothing comes out

2= Only half of X comes out

3= 2/3 of X come out (round down)

4= X coins come out

Inspiration: The meme above (thanks @piratequeen1017)

Hey sorry I didn’t talk to you for over a century time keeps moving too fast

Hey sorry I didn't talk to you for over a week time keeps moving too fast

Magic Item or Spell

Temporary Sacrifice

Effect: The user use all their magic and put it into an object, losing the ability to use magic in any way, receiving tho a +2 into their stats, +5 to hit, +1d12 to any attack they deal. If they die they loose these bonuses but after 24h from their death they return in a 5ft radius from the object that then retrieves all the magic stored and breaks. If after 24h they aren’t dead yet, they roll a d20, on a Nat20 they get 24h more hours, if they roll anything else they die on the spot and everything returns at normal.

The equipment that the player wore at death is teleported with them, their weapon/s too even if it slipped from their hands at death.

After being teleported the player rolls a [(LevelOfTheCharacter) +3]d4, they lose that amount of Max HP until they have a long rest

Notes: If it’s a spell then the object will be decided by the character, if it’s a magic item then that’s the object where the user magic will be stored.

When the dead return into a 5ft radius from the object, the object breaks only if it was a Magic Item. In case it was a spell, the cool-down is 1 year.

Inspiration: The Viking of Stamford Bridge

Campaign Idea

Lord of the Ribs

Plot: An Elven King calls the players to ask for their help. Their mission is to destroy the One Spice, a powerful magic object that made all the spices feel bland except for those that the owner of the One Spice, Sauronion, sold. This new group will start a journey trough Mordough fighting with Sauronion’s minions like the Nugzuls (or Wingwraiths) and Soyruman The Bland. When the Fellowship of the Rib finally finds itself in front of the Onion Ring, a powerful spell that Sauronion uses to look down on the Middle Eat, they’ll have to fight the army of Sauronion and then take the One Spice to Mount Nom and destroy it, to make the world spicy again.

Inspiration: I think it’s pretty obvious, but in case it wasn’t, I came up with this completely alone and without being inspired by any product of other people. Those who don’t believe me are French (fries)

Item Idea

Legendary Sponge

Description: a yellow square sponge, it looks like any other normal sponge except that it won’t suffer from any environmental effects, not even the loss of water or the rising of temperatures.

Functionality: Grants the holder with resistance to cold, lightning, thunder and fire damage. Does not stack with other spells or items.

Inspiration: Now there is @markrosewater

I would have GREATLY preferred the Spongebob creatures be original designs. As funny as Squidward being a "Horror" is it is absolutely disappointing to see Spongebob be a Human and not a Sponge

There are no legendary Sponges.
