For the DMs, what is the strangest inspiration you've had for a campaign?

For the DMs, what is the strangest inspiration you've had for a campaign?

This could range from a throwaway line in a movie to an image you saw. I want to hear all of the inspiration sources and what they led you to create.

For me, back when the D&D movie was coming out, I saw this nerf blaster in my Walmart while walking with my wife. She saw that familiar look on my face and knew my brain was cooking up something. That simple design for a collaboration has turned into a whole homebrew campaign based on a weapon and armor forging method that infuses a dragon scale into the forged ingot to give the weapon or armor the elemental power from that dragon. This idea has been many years in the making and is soon to FINALLY hit the table as we officially start session 1 soon.

Can someone explain? Is this a bug?

Working on a possible option for my Frontier team playthrough and encountered this issue while training in the farm while using the new update for viewing digivolution requirements in the farm. Each time I train either Atk or Spd, the previously trained value drops below where it was.

Has this been noted yet? Am I not understanding something with the new update? I'm trying not to spend too much on quick complete, but this is ridiculous

Challenge playthrough idea

TLDR: Wondering from those who have played the game, how viable is a challenge playthrough as Maple from Bofuri?

Was discussing how I wanted to tackle my first playthrough of the game with my wife, work schedule has made it nearly impossible to give enough time to thoroughly start it, and my wife jokingly gave me an idea for a challenge playthrough that I'm curious if its possible to do. My wife suggested playing through the game as Maple from Bofuri since my wife has enjoyed watching that show and just how broken Maple is in a similar full dive style game.

Obviously I won't get to this for a while since I haven't started my main playthrough yet, but I'm curious to hear opinions on this idea. Could making a character build similar to Maple work for this game as far as stats, weapons and such? Of course not everything would transfer over smoothly, but it could be fun to discuss and try out

Frontier Playthrough

Edit Stupid me forgot the spirit of water was in the game smh

I'm trying to do a playthrough of time stranger where the only available frontier spirits (really wish frontier got more love in the game) will be my main team, but I don't want to run it purely as a 2 man team into a solo run. I'd like to hear suggestions from you all on who else to add to the team that has a frontier connection and suggestions on builds for the spirits of Flame and Light.

Side note: I've already played the game up to Agent Rank 3 on this playthrough and have not left the human world yet. I do have the items from the human world needed to craft the human spirits, just looking for suggestions prior to going further
