    Rise: Ideas That Didn’t Make It

    Update: Great news! We’re working on some site updates that will allow us to more easily let you search encounters. You will be able to filter by Location, Party Level, Encounter/Adventure Type, as well as a free form search (in case you remember a title or topic).

    We’re hoping to get this out the door by mid-August, but want to make sure everything looks great prior to doing so. Please let us know if there are any other filtering options we should consider! Drop a comment here or send us a note at dumbestdnd@gmail.com.

    A few of the myconid images that we didn’t use

    This week’s posts:

    • Rise From The Ashes -A distraught blacksmith has his lost friends returned, but they’re not quite the same.
    • Dead Rising – A lich is having trouble with his recently raised undead.
    • Bourbons & Ryes – Help a treant rescue his furniture friends
    • On the Rise – Take part in the Great Underdark Bake-Off
    • Rise And Shine – Cock-a-doodle-doom.
    • Rise Through the Ranks – A young, sweaty devil needs help earning his merit badges

    Now, here are the ideas that didn’t make it from this week’s theme Rise.

    Rise Like a Phoenix

    • Fight club underdog situation
    • Arena in the basement of a bar
    • Wizards who cast mage hand and play rock, paper, scissors (super safe, god forbid someone gets hurt)
    • Wizard is always losing, stuck inside his own head…strategize and train
    • Fill in for him…his wrist has cramped and he can’t compete in the finals
    • Wizard gets angry…summons a rock elemental at the end “accidentally”

    Early to Bed, Early to Rise

    • Earl the insomniac
    • He doesn’t sleep, running around town screaming about the apocalypse…he’s so sleep-deprived
    • Bring in sleep assistant again?  Drow Z. …?
    • Falls asleep and the hallucination/apocalypse happens
    • Only Earl can defeat him, but he’s asleep and won’t wake up

    Land of the Rising Sun

    • Mimic of large red dot keeps rising (second sun)
    • Mimic is just desperate for attention…people are always worshiping sun gods and welcoming the day.  He wants that now.
    • BUT everyone in town is super sunburned and staying inside
    • The Red Sun mimic thinks that they’re painting themselves red to look like him in appreciation.
    • Defeat the mimic OR convince the mimic to transform into something else that the townsfolk would love/worship/pay attention to

    Rise of the Machines

    • Constructs taking jobs
    • Constructs contracting a strange illness like a fever..overeating and shutting down. Temperature rising
    • Some druid is creating the constructs, annoyed the townsfolk are dumping garbage in wetlands
      • Is pretty evil though, so party must defeat trash/junk constructs
    extremely grumpy druid of some sort

    Rise of the Planet of the Hadozee

    • Hadozee monkeys crash their pirate ship into the coast and think they’re discovered a new world entirely
    • Party finds them and the Hadozee are confused and have amnesia
    • Inspecting the vessel determines that one of their trade goods is some fungus that causes memory loss
      • Myconids trying to spread their fungus

    Rise and Grind

    • 5-Hour Energy…but in fact, it just makes a person enter berserker mode (rage)
    • Tech bros – Drow
