Building off of @AaronOfBarbaria reply you could have ancient temples/cities overgrown by the jungle that would yield untold treasures and horrors for the party. May be the home of a giant poisonous spiders/scorpions nest Many arcane markings inscribed on rocks/trees or mountainous cliff/river...

How about combining a creature with the zombie template.... Zombie Minotaur anyone.

I know for one mini tomb adventuring campaign ran on Halloween ages ago the DM did have at the end an emaciated vampire corpse impaled with a tainted Holy Broadsword which our resident paladin pulled free and a few days later in-game we then had to fight said vampire which had started regaining...

I just remember an old school trap 3.5e that a GM which unfortunately killed two-thirds of our... So our group while exploring the secret catacombs of the BBEG we took our time for awhile and began examining all of the adjacent room for hidden doors. One player pressed what he thought was a...

@77IM That is logical and if the players complain merely state that each vial of potion contains a different amount of the single brewed cauldron that by itself is a concentrated form.... can potions be made into a powder form? Drinking a vial of the concentrated potion could have the...

Nicely done and workable into a campaign as a DT Action I could even see the following: Thieves Tools having included a small lump of soft clay like material that could be used to make an impression of a key that could the used to make a duplicate key, maybe acid for melting through locks...

Why just one mystery ingredient when it could be x-items that all must be collected and then brewed together in a set manner/order before said cauldron relinquishes x-doses of your brand new Potion of Invincibility... I originally misread Invincibility as Invisibility as I was needing a caffeine...

I agree with Hawk Diesel on all his points but if the party keeps it and uses the figurine it unleashes one of four legendary BBEG along the lines of the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse... had that happen in a campaign with plague/pestilence.

Much potential here and a few pranks that could be done to the unwary player carrying... "OH NO!! The potion splattered all of my gear well no harm now onward to the Princesses Party!" ... that is till it activates and said player is now imitating the Emperors New Clothes motif! As few being...

Don't forget the general works on a related skill set or other that could aid the player later in campaign. Or there are the once gathered together the works outline the location of some ancient treasure... sadly the clues are written in a language the party does not read. The good old...

Sadly I don't know of any Hands-On Approach to your problem except for a few snippets of my experiences. One campaign a fellow player tried their hand at being a DM and implemented several similar themes in a few of her rooms when we traversed the lost ancient dungeon hidden beneath a city...

Well as modest veteran of my local gaming group we would often come up with both mundane and mystical books, scrolls, tomes, and etcetera to use in campaign and can aid the party just as well as going to eavesdrop on local chatter at the nearest tavern... One recurring book was for capital...

Well in this one D20 Modern/D&D 3.5e crossover the BBEG who somehow crossed dimensions into a modern campaign setting our PC's were picked up by Department 7 and given some training in Modern equipment to combat the evil forces that were coming through breaches in the barrier caused by BBEG to...

@nomotog most jobs on ship would probably be filled by NPC's but that doesn't stop the players from learning how to fire the 60-pounder cannon...

First give the players a brief synopsis of the world before and any lore passed down the generations from before the apocalypse so they may know of their lost roots... if you are going the whole modernity burned in apocalypse Y you could pick up copies of the WotC D20 Modern and Future PDF's...

Another session a player who took the Omega 6-66 package was thought dead so a clone was made to obtain the intel that she acquired before her death... two session later both original and clone were reunited and thankfully no clone genocide took place.

Player A Dies... Release the CLONES Okay so for a decent sci-fi opera campaign the GM gave us the option of buying this interstellar health care package after we all got paid and only three of us chose the Omega 6-66 option... well eventually we three players died horribly and most gruesome...

The group I game with we had ran a campaign made from a mix of D20 Modern/Future, D&D 3.5e, D&D 4e, and a few other 3rd party books in a pretty fun post-apocalypse game. The DM had us roll a 1d3 for our origins either being PA wasteland born, resident/descendant of a Vault Bunker, or a member...

Reason for this ONE-Time Bonus When I was coming up with this it was D20 Modern, D&D 3.5e, and slight 4e that my group was utilizing and I put forth an offer for a Zombie Apocalypse campaign inspired by games such as Left 4 Dead, Dead Rising, Dead Island, Resident Evil, and few other media...

Hello everyone just a small update on some notes that I found in regards to a group discussion of how much can my PC, Race-Z, drink before they become drunk in the tavern... now these were written up with the whole Race Size in mind so feel free to critique them Size Bonus HP Fine d2...
