RPGaDay 2025 17: Renew

For “renew”, I immediately thought of restocking dungeons. It’s a system I haven’t been involved with much yet, because I’ve run a lot of shorter modules rather than long-form campaigns. However, I want to start trying my hand at some of these mechanics. So, to help prepare myself, I’ve made a little table to guide restocking. If you have any ideas for improvement or if this has been helpful to you, drop me a line on Bluesky and let me know!

1 Goblins. There’s always goblins
2 The previous faction’s enemies
3 The previous faction, plus reinforcements
4 The previous faction, with a bigger monster as leader
5 The previous faction, plus goblins
6 The undead, risen from the previous faction
7 A pack of wild animals
8 Bandits, moving in after looting
9 A dragon, claiming the space as its own
10 A wizard, up to arcane and mysterious business
