    Who is Shotgun Bob?

    The other day, it occurred to me that Shotgun Bob would be a good NPC name. I don't know anything about him, though, just the name. What do you think someone named Shotgun Bob would be like? Setting is a Rifts-esque post-post-apocalypse, system is Savage Worlds Adventure Edition.

    Probability Question

    I know I asked a very similar question on here before and got a good answer, but it was a long time ago and I can't find it. If you have a situation where the party needs to roll a specific number on a d100, where there are 5 PCs and each PC gets to roll once, what are the odds of success? I...

    Team of Theseus vs. Recurring Villain?

    So, it's not uncommon, in long-running fiction about teams, for there to be a Ship of Theseus situation, where you eventually end up with a completely different team with none of the original members on it. And it's also not uncommon in adventure fiction to have a recurring villain. So what I'm...

    You've got a planet with warp gates that can let in stuff from any story/game/etc. that you find cool. What's on your planet?

    You've got a planet with scattered warp gates that can let in stuff from any story/game/etc. that you find cool. What's on your planet? Uhm, E-Rocker, isn't that kinda the premise of Rifts? Similar, yes, but your planet doesn't necessarily have to have any Rifts stuff on it. Unless, of course...

    Need ideas for a session where the party has a day off from adventuring

    So, in my Savage Worlds game, the dimension-hopping PCs have just returned to their organization's headquarters after a six-month mission that included ending humanoid slavery in Atlantis, killing Hitler before WWII could gather too much steam, and fighting the animated skeletons of Satanic...

    Tell me about a recurring NPC that your players liked

    Who were they? What was their deal? Friendly shopkeeper? Recurring antagonist? Walking embodiment of Chaos? What did the players like about them? Were they intended to be recurring or did you bring them back because the players latched onto something about them? Tell me your tales.

    Need a few different versions of Hell

    When last my group met, the PCs decided that continuing down the tunnel that allegedly leads to the depths of Hell was a pretty swell idea. Since it's already a dimension-hopping campaign, I thought it would be fun to have the PCs work there way through a variety of different versions of Hell...

    I need a stupid monster (conceptually stupid, not low intelligence stupid)

    My group's Halloween adventure got delayed & will finally happen tomorrow. For it, I need a stupid monster. I mean the kind of monster that 12-year olds would put in their homemade horror movie because it's all they could manage with their combo of zero-budget practical effects and unbridled...

    Need a puzzle

    The PCs need to acquire a regular-sized key that is inside a large, six-foot long ceremonial key. Opening the large key requires solving a puzzle. What should the puzzle be? (System is The Black Hack v. 1.2).

    Want to help me design a dungeon that can be gotten through very quickly?

    The good news: My "D&D for Adults" program at the library where I work has been pretty successful thus far. The neutral news: Because of this, my boss wants me to show my coworkers how to play D&D at our next staff meeting. The big challenge: I get all of 30 minutes to do it. So obviously...

    I need a quick outline for an adventure in the style of a 1980s action movie

    Not enough of my group can make it tonight to do our usual Savage Worlds campaign, so I'm gonna run All Outta Bubblegum instead. Since All Outta Bubblegum is meant to emulate 1980s action movies, I need a plot that would fit with that. Yeah, I know, '80s action movie "plots" were typically just...

    What's a rule you always forget?

    To be clear, I'm asking about rules that you literally forget, not rules that you've consciously chosen to not use for whatever reason. I try to run my Savage Worlds Adventure Edition game as RAW as possible, but I almost always forget to enforce darkness penalties. Characters fighting in the...

    You are in a fictional island off the coast of Brazil in 1939. Who is in the pub?

    You find yourself on a large island off the east coast of Brazil. The year is 1939. The island has three medium-sized cities and many small, coastal fishing villages. After getting shipwrecked not too far from island, you've made your way onto land and could use a stiff drink. Luckily, with...

    I need some goofy "Well, [do thing X] and [do thing Y]" phrases.

    I've already got one recurring NPC who expresses surprise by exclaiming, "Well, eat my ass and call me Charlie!" I need some other goofy phrases of the same format for other NPCs to say. Phrases you make up & phrases you've actually heard in real life are equally valid. What have you got...

    What's your favorite version of Atlantis and what makes it cool?

    Like it says in the title, what's your favorite version of Atlantis and what makes it cool? Doesn't have to be from an rpg. Could be from movies, books, TV shows, etc.

    Favorite source for pulp villains?

    My campaign's dimension-hopping PCs have now landed in the Pulp Adventure dimension! It's currently 1939 there, but it's an alternate Earth, so I'm not especially beholden to real-world history. So I am wondering, what are your favorite sources for pulp villains of the era? The system I'm using...

    Interesting locations for 1-on-1 battles

    In this Friday's session, the party is going to be pulled into a classic "tournament where you have to fight each other" situation. So what are some cooler places to have 1-on-1 fights than empty rooms and open fields?
