Welcome! This is intended to be the sister-subreddit for r/DnDBehindTheScreen where you can post unfinished ideas to get feedback or just foster discussion around a concept you have bumping around your head.

Rules:

Flair your post! Currently this is required (though that may change). Look below for a full list of flairs.
Be kind.
Criticism must be constructive, "this sucks" is not any more useful than a downvote.
Don't post ideas that are too complete. If you feel your post would do well on r/DnDBehindTheScreen just post it there :D

Obvious rules:

No racist comments
- This is a little weird in the context of DnD, don't say anything that you think someone would reasonably find offensive outside of the context of DnD.
No direct IRL politics
- You can discuss ideas about DnD that are related to IRL politics, but there is no room for discussion in this subreddit directly about IRL politics.

Tags/Flairs:

Item: An item with an interesting story or ability
Enemy: An enemy with an interesting lore, ability, and/or caveat
Encounter: An encounter with an interesting explanation
Story Hook: An interesting concept for a side-quest or main-quest
World: An interesting setting (preferably with some lore) suitable for an entire campaign
