Probably Bad RPG Ideas @badprobably.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Vampire the Masquerade but the PCs aren't vampires. See how long it takes the players to figure out they've had their characters go around killing people and drinking their blood for absolutely no reason beyond their title-based assumptions 051

Probably Bad RPG Ideas @badprobably.bsky.social · 28/07/2026The reason Kobolds are so important to Dragons is that while they're harmless in-universe, they're extremely dangerous out of universe. Whenever your players fight a kobold, the fight is easy in game, but the GM does pull out an uzi and open fire. 030
Probably Bad RPG Ideas @badprobably.bsky.social · 27/07/2026Mention at the start that a massive demonic legion is barely held back from devouring the world. This is foreshadowing for the fact that if the players ever notice a hole in your plot or worldbuilding, they'll be distracted by a massive demonic legion. 040
Probably Bad RPG Ideas @badprobably.bsky.social · 25/07/2026Hunter the Vigil but monsters aren't real and the PCs are just a bunch of weird conspiracy theorists who've fallen down the wrong internet rabbit hole. See how long it takes the players to realise. 040

Probably Bad RPG Ideas @badprobably.bsky.social · 24/06/2026My personal headcanon is that there's a Power Word for every possible state a person can be in. Sure, wizards focus on the combat useful ones like "Power Word Kill", but there's also "Power Word Mascot Costume", "Power Word Gay", "Power Word Having A Nice Cup Of Tea", "Power Word Bankrupt", etc. 140

Probably Bad RPG Ideas @badprobably.bsky.social · 22/06/2026Don't tell the players the rules. They have to guess. The game can't start until they reverse-engineer the whole system through sheer luck. 030
Probably Bad RPG Ideas @badprobably.bsky.social · 21/06/2026Oh no! All RPGs are delayed because the ontologically evil minions that it's morally uncontroversial to kill have unionised and gone on strike. If you don't want your games to have to deal with the ethical implications of violence, you'd better be prepared to give them a 10% raise and vacation days. 0167
