A few of you may know, for the past year I've been playing Pathfinder (a D&D thing for you normies). Soon enough I'll be a Dungeon Master for my own campaign. I'm pretty excited all said, although I'm probably gonna suck.
This thread is for you guys to post some ideas. Basically, each of my friends' campaign takes place in their own county, and we have a world map set up. Of course I took the northern ice fields cause why wouldn't I?
My area has three cities, some smaller fishing communities, mines, shrines, etc. Typical RPG stuff.
The story involves the heroes getting hired for protection to escort some rich guy to investigate an island off the northern shore to see if there's any natural resources worth harvesting. On the way a giant Sea Serpent (the one from Earthbound, I already have him drawn so I'll use that) attacks and destroys the boat. They get fucked up and one month later they wake up/recover/whatever at an old man's house. This man is a descendant of my character in another campaign (fun fact). He gives them basic gear and weapons and asks them to recover a spell book of my character. My character in my friend's campaign is Hangar 18 (Megadeth) and this old man is named Hangar 22. The book is in a shrine to the east of the nearest city.
They go south to the city and a lot of mine workers are pissed cause some dipshits are causing havoc on the road to the mine. They ask the heroes to sort them out to get stone and iron. Doing this quest will give the blacksmiths iron and a new weapon shop can open, stone for the architecture of the city.
Eventually they'll come across a cult that made numerous portals to hell so demons are starting to pop up. Demons, zombies, crazy monsters, etc. I'll have dungeons with monsters and puzzles, they'll find the portal and go in, then it'll be like Silent Hill where it's a twisted version of the place they were. Some hallways are now blocked, new traps, etc. Each area ends with a boss fight. I'm think stuff from games like the Cyberdemon from Doom, maybe a Metroid boss or something.
Aaaaanyways that's the basic setup. Perhaps no one would be interested at all, but I plan to have a number of side quests. Some will make new shops open, or open up access to another town. I'm trying to make it like Fallout where you can talk to people and it'll start it's own side story.
So if you have any ideas let me know. Maybe I'll put you in the campaign. Hell, doesn't even have to be side quests, just anything.
Lastly, it may be hard to tell from the summary, but my friends often play for laughs. The setups and such are good, but some of our character names are Hanger 18, 60 Second Priest, Rayleen Squirtsworth. We fought an posse of insane clowns (an insane clown posse if you will). We had a children Base-ketball team and set up a tourney. We lost the second game so I spike the other team's drink with a strength potion and demanded they take a drug test.
When we first started out we fucked up a lot, so we killed a guy, hollowed out his corpse and stuffed him with pillows. We propped him up at his dinning room table so any passerbys would look in and see him "normally". We put some bodies in his house, and I had a thing where I would take the nipples of any creature/person I killed, so I sorted them out into the message of "I kiled these people". Basically to take any heat off us from the city guard. However, one guard caught us, so we killed him, mashed him up into the blood on the floor so he just "disappeared".
{edit: Oops, remembered that wrong. I would take the heads of my enemies, my friend would take the nipples. I dumed the heads in the guy's house.}
Yeah....that's the type of people we are
So anything goes.
In fact, I won't be surprised if after reading this ya'll won't want me around anymore
