A thought i had could be as this community grows, maybe creating a novel with input from all the members, like a choose your own adventure but tying ideas, prompts and voted content together into a storyline which would then be available digitally to all members.- Tell me your thoughts

When i am running a campaign i like to be able to sometimes hand my players a spell scroll or a book of curses or something that will create more engagement. One way of doing this is to age paper. I usually start with a heavier paper type as standard paper tends to degrade a bit when wet but it can work . I then make up a strong jug of tea or even coffee although coffee tends to make the paper smell strongly so i prefer tea. I soak the paper in the tea solution, the amount of time and strength of the tea will determine the darkness of the finished product. I then dry the paper in the sun or near an air flow source and voila - aged paper. See below different outcomes that came from drying paper flat or on a rack, the rack created pools and wash marks giving the paper the appearance of having been waterlogged

While I am far from an artist, I do enjoy sitting occasionally and slapping some paint on a model or 3D print. Most notably a 3d printed scale model medieval town. This can be a great way of visualizing a scene or scenario albeit a bit time consuming. What sort of creating do you prefer?

While creating the long quest manual for the classroom here, I came up with the idea of a quest based on a teaching role. By setting the scene in an illustrious grand university, the party would be actively planning and implementing classes to teach students. however, the turn-based system of D&D would make this very hard to manage. So, I would start with a short foray into the individual teaching roles so that the players can quickly build their character roles and personalities then introduce a cataclysmic change in the university, be it a monster loose, students going rogue or even the discovery of a piece of research that shakes the university to its core. The Teachers then have to develop a plan to combat it together, using their strengths and possibly even introducing some of their students to assist. My original thought was the infiltration of the university by a cult who is corrupting and or destroying the historic knowledge, they can unleash all manner of antagonists then from within the circle of faculty. Let me know your thoughts?

A couple of years ago I DM'd a short campaign for some friends using a 3d printed medieval town that i spent almost a year creating. The premise of the campaign was a town that was beset with bad luck, disappearances, murders and strange apparitions. I started by setting the background / location and nearby landmarks. Then I created a spreadsheet of townspeople and of course the antagonists. I created props that could be handed to players, like weathered scrolls of useful spells, potion bottles and puzzle tubes with items inside. I made some mistakes and the players definitely threw some weird and wonderful choices at me and i had to think on my feet but overall the campaign was a success and a good time was had by all . I have attached a few of the documents, DM Screen, Pictures of the town and early Ai antagonist concepts i created for the campaign to give you an idea of the level of preparedness i usually do.
