Different Ideas #AtoZchallenge #rpg #fantasy #prompt

My theme is a month of prompts and ideas for tabletop role-playing games or prompts for fantasy writers.

This is the last post of the BB&B campaign. Next week will be something else. So here are a few bonus prompts or ways things can go:

Different ideas.

The "Beyond" section might be a time portal. 🦖 There could be dinosaurs through those doors! It could be a journey to 💣 the Civil War times. 🌇 Maybe it's a dystopian future.
Perhaps it's a portal to another place. An alien space ship? 🛸 Maybe it's a ship out at sea. 🚢 It could be a desert landscape. 🏜 It's the island from LOST! 🏝 Or perhaps it's Antarctica.❆

Players could just be humans. Race could mean something else. There could be an "east side / west side" division. Age could also be a separator, such as teens, senior citizens, twenty-somethings, thirty and forties, and the fifty to senior set.

It could be a different kind of store. Or start online and players get transported somehow. Or perhaps the entire thing is online but players cannot log off until the game ends for some reason.

Consider the skills that were assigned to the classes. There should be challenges that require those to be used. Maybe the "beyond" section is an escape room that the players didn't know they were signed up to do.

Or maybe the government has created this "beyond" room as a way to test for humanity. They suspect there are aliens, robots, angels, elves, etc among us. This is a way to prove they're right, or wrong.


For a really odd game...




Supermarket Sweep (Yes, that episode has someone named Jamie. No, it isn't me.)

The players need to find certain items in the store, based on clues, to defeat the monsters.

Or, print out pictures of a few items from the store site. Keep the prices on a list for yourself. Drop all the pictures on the table. Players have to get between $100 to $120 in items, without being over or under. The reward is a special item or XP.


There are a lot of ways to make this work. It's a different kind of campaign for people who want to mix things up.


Please come back next week for the Endearing Hearts campaign.
