15 D&D campaign opening premises I'm considering

Should I be a DM? If so, which of these would be the most fun to play?

  1. Murder at a magic boarding school
  2. The adventurers wake up in cave full of treasure, but don't remember the past two weeks
  3. Advisors of a young princess who wishes to rule (in this one, I imagine many people to have secret goals)
  4. An isolated town has lost contact and supplies from their liege lord. The party is sent out to make contact.
  5. The rest of the town has fallen asleep. How can these adventurers save their town (or are they the ones in danger?)
  6. All of the dead are rising, can the party help the dead get their rest?
  7. A town's zoo has escaped. Can the party return all of the creatures and figure out what happened in the first place?
  8. The king requires discrete protection for his lover out of town.
  9. Two nations are newly in contact. The party is sent to discuss possible alliances and trades.
  10. A magic-y Lewis and Clark expedition.
  11. A sickness hits a town. The adventures are some of the few healthy left and they are sent to try and find a cure.
  12. Heist to steal the crown jewels from the royal family. But who hired them?
  13. A new queen fears being overthrown by her younger brother. She hires the adventurers to help quell a coup.
  14. The team enters a baking competition to win coveted jobs in the palace.
  15. The adventurers are sent by the very elderly kingdom librarian to collect and compose some special tomes.
(Prompt by me)

15 things you'll think about during your dad's latest hospital stay

This is meant to be a related piece to "15 things to do in your dad's hospital room," "15 Things You Find in Your Dad's Hospice Room," and "15 Things You Find When You Clean Out Your Dad’s Apartment" .  The Christmas lights at the nurse's station that should really have been switched for saccharine cupids by now What team decided to hang up a clearly labeled DRAFT safety sign Who comes up with the aliases they seem to use for trauma patients and how they decided on Redstone for your dad That his skin either looks like a bruised elephant or like sickeningly conflicting colors of thin paper mache Where you can possibly get food--you're shaky The patient in the ER somewhere with a lot of ammo, but no gun, or so they say Why the staff is being so happily loud and swearing...it feels discordant The used bandaid and gauze that are left on the floor of his ER room as he moves to his hospital room...the last proof he was there Having to do this a...

15 facts about my dad

Just been thinking about some lighthearted facts I know about my dad lately. When he was young, he had a goldfish named Lysander He introduced me to Star Trek At Christmas, he would tear up at It's a Wonderful Life He used to send me articles from his Yahoo email account that he thought I'd like We used to play a game called "Nightmare" where he would lie down and we'd jump around (and sometimes on) him He would clip possible recipes for us to try out of newspapers and magazines We bought him a Paddington Bear to take on trips because we feared he'd be lonely and he always took it He had teddy bears for three different holidays We once had such a hilariously difficult time building a gingerbread house that when some frosting ended up on the counter, I plopped a gumdrop on it and we laughed until we cried He and his sister were born about 11 months apart We would try recipes from Top Chef He kept gifts I made him, even when they weren't great At Christmas, ...
