Strixhaven DnD

So, I'm going to be running a solo game using the Strixhaven setting, but not the included adventure, for just one friend of mine. It's going to be text based, play-by-post, as that's how we really like to run our solo games with each other (we have a handful). In most of our games we use the Solo Adventurer's Toolbox and its sequel, available on DM's guild. It's great because it allows for the game to be run without either of us getting so bogged down in planning that we get stressed out or bored, namely helped out by a handful of different d100 lists for encounters (both combat and non-combat) -- for both wilderness encounters and urban encounters.

But as I'm sure you can imagine, those particular encounter tables are really made more for like LOTR-style typical adventuring D&D and are a lot less useful for a campaign setting that is as specific as Strixhaven!

So basically, what I was hoping was to ask folks here about the kinds of random encounters that you would include on a d100 list specifically for Strixhaven encounters. I currently have a list of about 30 options, and I've tried to include all sorts of things based on the different colleges, on different jobs, on different extracurriculars, and even using different pre-established places on campus. I've not included it here yet because I honestly want to publish the list to my own personal TTRPG blog when it goes live -- but I'm not sure if that's fair to do if I'm asking folks for ideas here, because I feel like it's crappy to publish something to a personal blog without being able to credit contributors.

Either way, I'm looking for ideas. Combat ideas! Non-combat ideas! Student drama! If you think it would fit the campaign setting, I'd be interested in hearing what comes to mind for you. I might already have some of them on my list. But there's no telling, and anything that might jog some ideas into my brain would be GREATLY appreciated, so that I can more easily run this solo Strixhaven game for myself and my friend.

I've found one pre-existing d100 list (but it really is split in half so only goes to 50) that is somewhat helpful, but other than that... the options out here are pretty light for Strixhaven specific d100 encounter tables.

The Wizard's Academy

Nestled in a secluded forest, this Wizard's Academy beckons aspiring scholars with its enchanted halls, shifting staircases, and enigmatic professors, where the study of ancient spells and the secrets of magical theorems intertwine with the wonder of discovery.

This pack features 11 total maps, including libraries, classrooms, universities, and much more.

You can download four of these maps for free here.

Here are some quest ideas to get you started:

The Mischievous Familiar: A mischievous familiar has stolen the headmaster's hat and is hiding it in various absurd places around the academy, prompting the young wizards to embark on a comical scavenger hunt.

The Enchanted Prank War: A rivalry between two groups of students escalates into an all-out enchanted prank war, with spells and illusions turning everyday objects into playful tricks and surprises.

The Teleportation Tango: A faulty teleportation spell results in students and staff swapping bodies, leading to a day of confusion as they try to navigate each other's lives.

"Papa told me I remind father of someone he misses. I will live up to that." It's tough being the oddball out, son to the city's, Baldur's Gate, father of Innovation and the Fanciest Bard of Cormyr, Caelan McClain has some shoes to fill. His love for firearms passed down from his late aunt, whose memory is faded but her legacy lives on in his creations. He's having a hard time making friends, not a lot of people appreciate the brains it takes to build a gun. But he'll surely wear someone down. Please give a respectable wave to the party's Artificer. A Quandrix student, of course. (Don't touch him though he does not like physical contact)

Some magical students!!

In my homebrew game, goblins look different depending on their environment. Xena on the left is from a marshland settlement so she looks amphibious!

One of my dnd players chose to work at the student newspaper in our Strixhaven campaign … obviously I had no choice but to make a new paper each week that is full of side quests, lore drops and teases at the plot. Only one player has caught on thus far and is now frantically rushing around campus looking for new papers each week.

Strixhaven PC Info Dump <3 "Sometimes I feel like I'm dying" This little angel is Amali Sprigluck. She's a half elf / half halfling bard who's just a little pent-up and shy. Her mom, Welyd'myr dropped out of Strixhaven and eloped with halfliing grounds keep, Rigmarole Sprigluck. They started a home in a humble halfling community where Amali has always felt out of place.

Now in Strixhaven, she's currently a Silverquill student, joined the Dead Languages Club, has a job as a book shelver in the Biblioplex.

And her biggest achievement was rolling a nat one in front of a popular second year and now is socially trying to disappear.

Tagged by @drhu0806 and got probably the most unsurprising possible result in terms of class. Like, I legitimately went in going "If i don't get a fucking wizard, I'm going to be disappointed."

For anyone wondering how my boring lawful good ass didn't get lawful good, don't worry. It was right around there.

They really said elf, half-elf, or human, huh?

And yes, I did go "monk??? MONK???? MONK??????????"

I am a very average wizard, to nobody's great surprise.

Tagging @inquisitorhotpants to share her results because I KNOW you did it, as well as @purplemeteors, @teaandinanity, @quilleth, and anyone else who wants to. Consider yourself tagged!

Here’s a traditional piece I did of Cal wearing some modern clothes and drinking some boba!! I did this drawing for my best friend and Cal’s creator @kered555 for when I visited them earlier this year ✨ I also just love Cal and have tons of fun drawing him. For this piece I used mixed media paper, pencils, micron markers for the lines, and a combination of Chartpaks and Copics to color :3
