That feel when you want to RP, but you don't really have a plot in mind, and also most of the roleplays you've done [not that there have been all that many frequently, though you appreciate the recent uptake more than anyone will ever really know] get stale after a while because it's just awkward, repetitive dialogue and no action.
Anyways. Someone care to help me brainstorm some nice and varied plot ideas? I want to use more of my characters than just Duncan, but I keep unintentionally defaulting to him when I'm tired and can't think of anything better. Of course, sometimes I genuinely want to use him because I find his muse to be a wild ride, but when it's shoving itself in your face all the time out of boredom, you start to get bored as well. Would be a good way to flesh out largely-unused characters of mine, really.

What do" haha. But seriously, it's been so long since someone asked me for a plotting idea that I have trouble coming up with 'em now! I'm cool with whatever, really.

Running on fumes energy-wise myself, and haven't been able to really "refuel", so to speak, for quite a while now. Toxic environments are not fun.

Okay, well, I personally really like medieval settings, and high fantasy. DnD, LOTR, that sorta stuff.
In one DnD campaign, we figured out how to ressurect a genie and make sure no-one used its powers for evil. And also saved a city from a dragon.
In another, we got trapped in a horror house and in order to get out alive we had to sacrifice something/someone. I checked to see if I had lice, and I did, so we sacrificed a louse to a cult.
In another, we tried to follow a dragon cult and gather information on it to stop it and also there was a character whose dad tried killing a demon and failed so the demon stalked us and framed us for eating babies.
In another there was an artifact that basically set am effect over a specific town/area. The effect was random and changed every day. So one day it might rain fire, the next everyone might have blue skin.
I'm not suggesting we do any of those, they're just to help get the old creative juices flowing.

The horror house + artifact thing sound cool, honestly. Also, you sacrificed a louse lol. That's beautiful.

Yes, it is beautiful. It was mostly a joke but the DM went with it and I'm honestly glad? Because it was from the Curse of Strahd which is supposed to be a horror campaign, but our group is just bizarre in general. Like that same character multiclassed literally every other level because she decided that casting spells was boring, she wanted to punch people instead.
We could try coming up with something partially inspired by one/both of them?

Yeah, I'd be cool with that. You mind posting the thread?

Actually could you? I gotta go to bed pretty soon. I can try, but I wouldn't know where exactly to start it off. Like, would they be already in the place? Would they be going to the place? You want anywhere specific, or should I just start wherever?

Yeah I don't really know either? Like I don't exactly know what you want. You want something inspired by them? Have just the haunted house or the artifact too, or what?

Curse my indecisiveness! Maybe the characters hear of some town where weird things happen, decide to go check it out separately, and then run into each other + eventually end up getting trapped in the house. And I mean "weird town" as in a town like Haven, if you've ever watched that show.

Alrighty, I could probably start an RP with that. You'd have to wait till tomorrow though, since it's super late right now.

Well, I'm back. That took longer than expected, partially because I got into a major argument with my mom, but I won't go into that ahaha So, do you have anything in mind?

I sort of know that feel; there's some family members which I frequently fight with, as well. And, plotting-wise? Not really. Always been bad at plots. Do you have anything in mind, or should we just wing it?

I have a few in mind. I have a document that I just add onto whenever I get a new plot idea. xD Depends on what you feel like, tho. Like what genres are you into? Fantasy? Historical? Slice of life? Romance? (sorry for all those question marks just flung at you)
