15 possible events for the start of my new D&D campaign (aka creating a new D&D world, part 25)

Not too too long ago, I purchased The Ultimate RPG Game Master's Worldbuilding Guide: Prompts and Activities to Create and Customize Your Own Game World by James D'Amato and it, and going whale watching, inspired me to create a new D&D world. So here we go! I'm going to use prompts from the book to begin crafting this world, but not all posts will be from there. 

You can read part 1 of my planning here, read part 2 of my planning here, read part 3 of my planning here, read part 4 of my planning here, read part 5 of my planning here, read part 6 of my planning here, read part 7 of my planning here, read part 8 of my planning here, read part 9 of my planning here, read part 10 of my planning here, read part 11 of my planning here, read part 12 of my planning here, read part 13 of my planning here, read part 14 of my planning here, read part 15 of my planning here, read part 16 of my planning here, read part 17 of my planning here, read part 18 of my planning here, read part 19 of my planning here, read part 20 of my planning here, read part 21 of my planning here, read part 22 of my planning here, read part 23 of my planning here, and read part 24 of my planning here.

  1. Party is together at a tavern listening to a storytelling competition
  2. Can talk to a mysterious figure with a mysterious box (will trade it for tracking a mysterious amphibious creature)--this is the collector
  3. Can investigate a scuffle outside (break up a bar fight and then a university party)
  4. Can approach the nervous looking bartender (has a quest about a series of robberies)
  5. Can speak to the man who looks damp and is deep in his drink (he has a quest about recovering items from a shipwreck)
  6. Can get into a drinking contest
  7. No matter which path they take, they will end up at the shore and see a kid in a boat without an oar that they will have to rescue
  8. After rescuing the child, they will have to roll a perception check to see if they catch a glimpse of the fae--if they do, their memory is partially wiped
  9. Either way, the child will find out that their parents moved away, so as they prepare to reunite with them, the party can speak with them
  10. The child has not aged enough for having been gone so long but does not remember much about their time away, but does have a story of going through an underwater portal
  11. The party can investigate this story by asking storytellers and will then dicover it has similarities to ancient stories of the fae realm but that people at the university may know more
  12. The party can investigate this story by going to the university and will then dicover that travelers' accounts of trying to find the fae realm are believed to have failed because they didn't have a fae with them but that the collector may know more
  13. The party can investigate this story by talking to the collector and he will imply that he has fae creatures in his collection which he will allow them to see if they track down an aquatic creature for him
  14. The party will then get the aquatic creature and bring it to the collector
  15. The collector will then reveal that the fae "creature" he has in his collection is humanoid (perhaps this will lead to a jail break plan?)

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, ...

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...
