A copper lamp could have strange circuit board configurations that are completely unfamiliar to most characters. A wooden lamp could have a jungle inside of it. Each of these presents a unique opportunity for an environment based on these materials. Various materials that the genie lamp could be made of and manifest inside the lamp: gold, brass, iron, copper, bronze, rock, stone, wood, petrified wood, ice, crystaline quartz, ruby, emerald, aether, clay, brick, etc. There could be a warning like, "if you choose to submit nobody, you will automatically activate every penalty at once," but if they do that, they win (that might be too obvious, idk how your party thinks). Anytime they submit someone wrongly, something happens, be it monsters spawning or straight up direct attribute damage. For example, it could lie to the party telling them that one of them is a traitor and the only way to escape is to identify who the traitor is, but there is actually no traitor. The realm could manifest as a series of illusions (questions or entities asking questions mixed with fighting) that challenge the players to make a step toward personal growth. You could have the inside of the realm be malleable, allowing players to craft crazy items on a whim that only work inside the lamp. The corruption could be from remnant magical effects or from some evil intruders. lmk if you liked any of the ideas.Įdit: More idea is having the lamp be corrupted by some magical force, and the players need to help uncorrupt the lamp. The players could choose to taunt the squatter to make them come out of hiding, or they could squander the squatters efforts to subdue them by straightforward defeating the army or solving the dungeon. The squatter could have set up an elaborate series of traps, designed a shifting dungeon, or summoned an army. The crack could be how the enemies enter the lamp as well, and the size of the crack could affect how well the genie can perform their lair actions, idk.Īnother idea is that someone infiltrated his lamp and the genie has trapped them in there, but they are strong, and he needs help to defeat the squatter. One idea I think would be cool is to investigate a crack and try to repair it from the inside of the genie lamp. These could coorespond to various lair actions you give the genie. If you had a clay genie lamp, it wpuld be made of different types of stone and clay that can mold and shift to the whim of the guardian. So if you had a golden genie lamp, the realm could have a gigantic golden chamber with a smoking lake inside and giant gold arches going across the ceiling with giant golden bells or gongs hanging all over, or something like that. The realms are generally made of the material the item consists of. So its filled it at least a couple hundred individual ideas. The entire story is basically different ideas for the inside of an extra dimensional genie lamp. There are labrynth realms, puzzle realms, multidimensional non Euclidean geometry realms, realms which are entire worlds and have populations of warring opponents, realms with secret guardians, realms that fold like origami, prison realms that are meant to be nearimpossible to escape from, etc. There's some time dialation effects too, where while inside a realm, time outside moves at a snail's pace.īut the useful ideas for the genie lamp could come from the various types of realms that the awakened explore. If they defeat the guardian of the realm, then the item levels up, they become the owner, and it makes the guardian and the item stronger.Įvery awakened also has a personal realm in which they can store their items and connect their item guardians so they can protect it and live in there. I've been reading a LitRPG called Leveling Up the World, and I think it has tons of ideas for lair effects inside the genie lamp.īasically in the story, every item in the world, from a grain of sand to a entire castle, has a realm inside of itself (like a genie lamp) and people known as awakened can enter these realms.
