15 ideas for opening premises to a new D&D campaign

Maybe I'll DM again? I also have another 15 ideas here (some of which I used). Which would be most fun to play?

  1. Objects in the museum the players work in have begun to animate
  2. The forest has begun to take over the town
  3. A jeweler has sent the party out to look for "special" stones
  4. Werewolves have kidnapped some of the town's children...or have they?
  5. It hasn't stopped raining for months...what's to blame?
  6. It's the annual matchmaking ball
  7. The monarch has recently ceded power to an oligarchy. It's campaign season and the party is hired to spy, campaign, poll, etc.
  8. A noble in town has lost her pet and has hired the group to find her
  9. The town's talent show is recruiting
  10. The royal family is welcoming a new heir. Celebrations ensue and the party has their own motives
  11. A series of fires have been started in town lately. The party investigates
  12. A strange object lands in the middle of town
  13. A desperate post on a job board for protection
  14. Violent crimes have been increasing rapidly in the past week. The party investigates
  15. A religious zealot has come to town and has begun to stir up trouble for the other religious and political leaders

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...

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, ...
