Episode 3 - Campaign Sparks & Strange Ideas: What If...?

Okay, today’s episode, it's a little different. More like a creative jam session. No strict outline, just some campaign seeds and off-the-cuff brainstorming. You know, the kind of stuff that gets GMs thinking, “Yeah… that could work.”

We’re tossing around ideas. Some weird. Some familiar. Some... maybe too much? But that’s the point.

A few examples:

• The Poisoned Grove. There’s a weapon buried under the forest. It’s cursed. The trees know.

• The Missing Caravan. Supposedly, demon wolves got them. But the survivor we found? Yeah, their story is… off.

• The Heir’s Reflection. This one's eerie. Kid won’t take the crown. Says the thing in the mirror isn’t them anymore.

• The Blood Moon Pact. Villagers giving up their children to a cult. Willingly. Like, they’re excited. That can’t be right.

• The Stone Eaters. Miners dig too deep—classic. But now the walls shift. Someone swears the rocks were chewing.

It’s less about solving anything today and more about planting seeds. Not all of them grow, sure, but the ones that do? Could lead to something memorable at your table.

Oh—and challenge time:

Send us your one-sentence campaign idea. Something from the Palladium Fantasy world. Make it wild. Make us go “wait, what?” If we like it? We’ll riff on it live.
