Aka lets copy Throne of Salt.

All of these are free real estate for post and game alike as long as you can beat me to it.

  1. Spanish Civil War pulp adventure setting.
  2. Harpers Ferry pulp adventure. John Brown is a wizard now.
  3. Bioluminescent deep elves. Either from evolution or diet.

  10. The Immaculate & Thirsty Suit Of Bone (armour 3), sacrifice 1 pt of STR each week worn.
  11. A man with a cabinet in his chest. It opens unto an impossible room.

  13. Actually, someone should just play a pretentious Plato suplexing people while spouting off insults about ideal forms.
  14. Praise the Holy Porcupine.
  15. Every scion of the great houses carries an ancestral sword. However the number of children as of late has greatly outpaced the number of swords leading to an influx of counterfeits.

  24. Never underestimate humanities desire to look fancy.
  25. Mushroom rebels vs the undead empire, undead = never changing, rejection of rot, empire itself is undead kept alive past its expiration (this was stolen wholesale from the discord)
  26. The City of Red Glass, where crystalline dragons lord over glassblowing peasants who spin them their new bodies.

  33. Everything is made of dragons. The ground? A shit ton of dragons. That rock? Very lazy dragon. The sun? King of dragons. You? A human shaped dragon.
  34. Instead of tight dungeons focused on claustrophobia lets see more adventure locales focused on the horror of vastness. Clouds. Endless cliffside's. Endless oceans.

  2. 17 (knife money) is real!
    I especially like 36 (pack lizards). I imagine when times are hard tails are a subsistence food, and when they're good it's a delicacy (like lobster).

  5. 34 could be interesting with a series of platforms and bridges over lightless chasms. Open spaces with cramped bits of safety...
