Hi everyone! I am working on an idea for a quick campaign and need some help populating it. The players are starting at lvl 3. The premise is that they are scattered about and meet each other because they receive a letter. Someone has seen great potential in them and are inviting them to an exclusive training camp. My camp is based on botanical garden layouts. I want there to be several areas. The first area I have for them is a warm up. They will be battling some infernal chickens and a gelatinous cube. The second is dexterity based and will involve pixie wrangling. I'm not very experienced at world building so I am looking for suggestions. I have a desert scene, and a sort of dark forested area that I would like to underdark creatures for. Like most botanical gardens, I hope to have a water feature as well. That is as far as I've gotten. Along the way they will pick up skills, items, ect that will help them when they face their BBEG. I do have they/them. I would like to work on the desert scene next and go from there. Looking for someone who would like to help.

Welcome to the Game Master Laboratory! This is a place for people who are running (or planning) TTRPG games to brainstorm ideas with other GMs, share ideas and resources, and test their creations with each other. I recorded a short video to get you started, which you can view in this post. It's all about what we do here, but it's also about how to use Skool, so if you're new to Skool, make sure to check that out! If we haven't met you yet, we would like to. Please make a post in the "General Discussion" channel to introduce yourself and tell us... 1. Which systems you like to play/run 2. A bit about the games you're running right now Glad you're here. DM us if you have any questions.

Feel free to discuss and talk about things you think are cool or interesting (discussing an upcoming TTRPG, for example, isn’t “advertising” it) but don’t attempt to sell things.
