    Rain: Ideas That Didn’t Make It

    Don't rain on my parade...or bad ideas.

    Welcome back for another week of ideas that had some weight to them, but didn’t manage to make it out of our brains as a full encounter/item/NPC.

    First, our heroes of the Rain saga and then our smattering of half-baked, ridiculous ideas.

    • Tabaxi in the Slacks-y
    • Merry Old Land of “Ahhs!”
    • Where’s The Beef?
    • Boots of Squeaking [Item]
    • It Pours
    • Gloomy Gus [NPC]

    Now, onto the ideas that might make it into your game, but didn’t get very far in our own brains.

    dnd rainy village

    Purple Rain

    • 2 cultists think the end is near
    • You need to reunite them before the world “ends”, fueled by adrenaline and desperation to not be alone
    • When the world doesn’t end, they decide that they’re better off as friends and go their separate ways
    • Alternatively, you could cause a local “end of the world” to kill them and give them what they want (trigger an avalanche, hit em with fireball)

    Don’t rain on my parade

    • Local mayor begs a sorcerer to stop raincasting on parade days. Has done it annually for the last 10 years
    • The sorcerer is worried about the pyrotechnics

    Raining cats and dogs literally

    • Cats land on their feet
    • Dogs land face first, creating a smushed-nose breed
    • Realize its the act of an angry Tabaxi trying to rid the world of dogs (though unsuccessfully)

    Rain, sleet, snow, hail…postal service

    • Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.
    • Deliver a special package through the elements
    dnd halfling postal service

    Rain dance

    • Crops dying out, desperately need rain
    • The god that watches over the town is only impressed by elaborate dance routines
    • Flash mob dances?

    Heavy Rain

    • The party has to control 4 different townsfolk that are critical for X thing to happen
    • “Dealing with a range of adult themes, the game revolves around a plot and narrative threads that explore a moral proposition.”
    • Sounds boring…like the game

    ASMR rain soundscapes

    • Halfing going from home to home to help individuals sleep or focus
    • Only mouth-noises
    • Wants the party to help him expand the business
    • Performance checks
    • For every success, they net 2gp

    The Least Formed Thoughts

    • Acid rain – Good acid though, like vinegar
    • Set Fire to the Rain
      • Wizarding contest
      • Every year, it’s a bizarre challenge…this one requires lighting water on fire
    • Full Metal Alchemist play on “it’s raining”
      • Townsfolk can’t stop crying
    • Under my umbrella
      • Tabaxi-run company making an umbrella that fits five people underneath
    • Rainforest
      • Small single square mile of tropical rainforest remains in the area
      • Join protestors tying themselves to trees to keep it from being developed
    • Alternatively, Rainforest Cafes
    • Gutter business
    • Drainage Company of some sort?

    Forever DM, site developer, and enjoyer of the ridiculous, John is convinced he is the only person to ever create a Halfling farmer that herds Intellect Devourers.
