Event Ideas from Camp Members
-
Hello Campers,
If you play the majority of your playing time during my hours. You can find my hours listed here
Feel free to come up with background and plot ideas that you would like DM help with. PM me with your ideas. Please only send one at a time meaning. Send me an Idea you have. Once I have run it for you, then you may request another and placed at the end of the line. If for some reason I do not think an Idea you send will be used. I will let you know so you can submit another if you so desire.
Events or ideas should be mini events that can be finished up in one session. Try to keep the idea within your PC's current objectives that you have been RPing already. Length of time can be as little as a short 10 or 15 min encounter with an NPC up to 4 or 5 hours. If you are in need of a longer event for some major background plot of your pc's. You can ask and while it may take a while before I get to it since I am only putting one day a week aside for major plot lines and only plan on running 2 at any one time. One that myself and or Kerby create and then bouncing between ideas I have and ideas you folks come up with. So patients on larger events. One session events I can run every day and depending on the length I can run several a night when I am on.
For those that do not play on my time frame. You can still come up with Ideas but instead of PMing myself you can post it here in this thread. Keep it very basic with just a broad overview of what you are looking for. The rest will be up to myself to give it some life. Remember that your ideas should be open ended and may not end up the way you want. If it did then you would not need my help or another DM's if you already knew the ending.
Hope this Idea takes off and I look forward to hearing from all of you soon. I will get back to all requests with a yes or no answer. When I will run it will depend on alot of factors so I cannot give a time frame but short sessions will happen much more frequently then a long multi day event.

Trade and Travel.
As I understand it, the Romani are supposed to be a well-travelled people, and do a lot of trading.
I'd like to see events involving Romani trade caravans stopping by the camp, hiring escorts to see them along their dangerous path… That alone leaves a lot of room for plot hooks and adventure.
Or even just events in which a group of PC's get a chance to travel to some distant, foreign land, to another Rom camp and do some trading. Or maybe a group of Rom travelling to our camp to trade with us?
In general, I think events involving trade, travel, and caravans are always fun. 'Bobo's Baubles' I can tell already is a step in the right direction

12.) Tara and Horgan were seen together after Amith's wedding to Jerr… romance blooming? Horgan asks some campers to go on an expidtion to find something extra special for his paramour
13.) Salt needed for storing meat... the gnolls stole the camps salt... campers must travel to a salt mine or to the sea via pelt... to make sure there if food through the winter
14.) the inner camp merchants ask us to fetch more good from a traveling company, but the campers must journey far to meet up with the other company to fetch the supplies.

4.)the odd stones and heads that were recently uncovered by the earthquakes and mudslides
5.) contruction of a tree or so such to access the cliff tops and keep the gnolls from killing/stealing/eating our cows.
5a.) contruction of a wall of some form or fashion to keep the gnolls out and guards to guard it
6.) a shipment of grapevines from somewhere else in toril brings a strange blight to the trees/grass/cows plants start dieing cows get sick... druids HELP!
7.) a stream is uncovered with gold flakes in it panning might be dangerous but gold coin might be worth it in the right party

A local Nars Tribe (not the Heyokarr (PC) tribe) comes into conflict with the Rom. The two Heyokarr Gali will have to chose sides.
-
A raging fire starts at the .. fires, and threatens to consume the camp
-
-
1 - There's always trying to go back to that underwater tunnel in the hidden cave thing to retrieve Bow's Silent Death bow
2 - A small band of minstrels and bards comes to camp and holds some auctions, contests, and a scavenger hunt.
3 - Folen runs out of furs for his new line of fur clothing and needs some in order to continue his work / Needs some silk from greater silk sacs.
4 - One of the camp members was robbed and a few clues point to the thief..?
5 - One of the camp children has gone missing in the gnoll lands.
-
-
One of those little sparkly things in the cave has been taken by the spiders, and is in a cocoon somewhere. Save her, and get some phat lewt…or not.
-
A baby spider is found in the camp. It isn't hostile, but appears to be playing with some of the other animals. Could be long or short, depending on the players (play along, or bash it into a bloody pulp)
-
Baba Katya is in desperate need of a rare part, which can be found somewhere around the camp. Gnolls, the cave, the spiders...
-
A lot of the trees have gotten sick. Go talk to the dryad, or find a cure on your own.
-
The ghost of a little boy and girl appears. Make sure they find peace.(maybe give an evil and a good way to do it?)
-
There's a new guard dog, but it still has to be properly trained. Right now, it's running rampage through the camp, and its "handler" is in tears.
-
Baba Katya herself has contracted an extremely exotic disease. Everything has been tried so far, but nothing has worked. Her only hope lies in finding an extract of unicorn's horn, which is rumored to be sold in Peltarch, or could be found somewhere if looked for enough.
-
Old treasure has been found by Jonni and Jenni. The adults argue about it, Jonni and Jenni fight about it, and in the end, they run of with it. Find them, and bring back the treasure, or "lose" it along the way.

-
Oh sure. I leave the camp and now you have ideas? LOL
Better late then never folks. Keep them coming. I am sure Kerby and other DM's can use them. Oh and my occasional drop in might take a few of these and use them as well. Good posts you two and for those a bit late. The rest of you.
-
Have one of the gypsy fires get out of control?
Too early for more inspiration, will post more when i've thought a little longer.
-
Alright, I'll list a few brief ideas here for now… I'll hopefully post more later.
-Masses of spider eggs, or cocoons or whatever, in the hidden pass that are smothering the trees and threatening the camp. could be a low level event.
-is it Sammie that needs wood for the targets? .... could send some people on a little trip to cut some trees. Something for the crafters.
-Jenni and Jonni and their hide and seek game.. how about jenni hides somewhere crazy? and jonni can't find her. This one could be a more ranger based tracking type event... make the players use their brains.
-Gnoll havoc is always fun... A headsman taking lead and causing problems for everyone.
-group of thugs and highwaymen hiding out in the gremlin cave?
Just a few off the top of my head.
-
With Belthor shifting to Jiyyd… I could really use some help with small event ideas. I am not big on huge plotlines (I don't have the stamina for extended plotlines it seems). So I could really use some feedback from the playerbase on ideas for simple events in the Gypsy Camp areas.
Don't worry about listing here... it'd give me a great reference for warping what you had in mind for some poor hapless character. And since I WILL be changing them around a bit... even if you are involved in your own idea... you still may not know what to expect!
Thanks in advance all!

Goes for me to… for gypsy campers, send an event request to any of the GC DM Team, and will put it on one list that we can work from.
Cheers - Kerby
