    A big congratulations to the ideas that made it from idea to full page. Our “potato” champions this week:

    • The Eyes of Spud [Encounter / Mystery / Treasure]
    • Plant 9 from Outer Space [Encounter / Space]
    • A Taste for the Finer Things [Skill Challenge / Cooking]
    • Night of the Living Potato Head [Encounter]
    • Launcher, I Barely Know ‘Er [Encounter / Item]
    • Ring of Rot [Item]

    The above are prepped for Dungeons & Dragons 5e or any other TTRPG. The below? Wellll, not so much.


    Tipsy Through The Tulips

    • A town drowning in Vodka
      • Settle a debate… a la Another Round
      • General thought that people are at their best when a little buzzed

    Couch potato

    • Some object that everyone in town watches, unaware that they are being charmed…rendered immobile
    • If left too long, they grow roots into the ground

    First potato battery in town

    • Only electricity anyone has ever seen
    • I generally like the idea of the party is encountering individuals who are building, creating, or witnessing something for the first time

    Full Potato Mode

    • A curse is placed upon a town or city
    • “Potato Mode” Curse…people become low-poly…all features flattened out
    • Think Final Fantasy 7 3D graphics
    • How do they undo the curse

    Potato Bag

    Here are the quick hitters that didn’t get any semblance of an outline.

    • Science fair potato clock…teacher hates magic, only accepts science
    • Spell that makes you have bark skin…lesser version, gives you potato skin, +1AC, resists bugs and disease/poison
    • Yukon gold potatoes…mounties?
    • I yam what I yam
    • Starches
    • Self-baking potato…only grows in this mountain area where dragons live
    • Hot potato game
    • Fingerling potatoes
    • Item—The Peeler: flays people
    • Solanum tuberosum
      • Some strange cult or wizard
