These ideas are meant to add some flavor to the hosts' corporate life. With proactive players, they can easily kickstart a campaign. Feel free to replace the names with names of existing NPCs in your game.
| # | Everyday event |
|---|---|
| 1 | Gorgo is having a leaving do! The party committee is asking for a contribution for a present (which will end up in Termination's hands). |
| 2 | A host is asked to give back the special item they requested for their last mission. The bursar shows them a receipt with their signature. Forgery? Mind control? |
| 3 | The elevator goblins invite their favorite host to the funeral of Ippok, their eldest sibling, who fell to their death recently. Someone suspects a murder. |
| 4 | It's Truth Awareness Week! Employees must be ready for fact-checking interviews and possible mind probing by cephalid consultants. |
| 5 | The cantina is closed today. The official reason is 'vermin infestation,' but does a hive of sentient, spellcasting uber-stirges count as vermin? |
| 6 | Level is choked with gigantic vines and living roots coming from the gods know where. A cult of denizens and former employees gathers there regularly, claiming these are the roots of the World Tree. True or not, their leaders have divine powers, which they will use to defend their sacred ground. |
| 7 | A new head of Termination has been appointed, and colleagues have started disappearing. A wave of paranoia washes over the office and denunciation becomes a means of survival. |
| 8 | A host is approached by the Anarch's Temple, a collectivist cult aiming to abolish all hierarchies and rebuild Dungeon, Inc. as a workers' collective. |
| 9 | A ring of fake pipe-weed dealers has been dismantled and their employment terminated. There is nothing left to smoke in Dungeon, Inc., except in the executive levels. People would pay through the nose for half a pouch of Shire Gold. |
| 10 | A colleague from Live Resources claims that Mister Noir isn't as powerful as everyone thinks! He's just a regular, yet lucky, Joe who chanced on a cache of magical artifacts. |
| 11 | Because of their unique and violent qualities, Chaos barbarians are well represented in the staff. But a bloody feud between rival clans is jeopardizing employee safety. “Join us or die” is not in the staff conduct manual. |
| 12 | Live Resources are rethinking the rights of undead employees. As “semi-alive,” they would lose half their wages. Their quarters would be moved to crypts with one alcove per employee. |
| 13 | Dungeon, Inc. is now a Cryptic-Piece company! Thanks to this revolutionary wealth system invented by gnome illusionists, employees will be part of this new era of finance. Every week, their CryP wealth has a 5% chance of doubling and a 10% chance of being halved. CryPs are accepted by Dungeon, Inc. and a growing number of independent (and illegal) businesses. |
| 14 | An illegal pamphlet claims that Mister Noir is a vampire who created his commercial empire not only to get rich, but also to have a diverse blood pantry at hand: his employees. |
| 15 | Design is organizing an aerie concept competition. The best ideas will undergo a feasibility study and the winners will be the first employees to experience it. Just like clients! |
| 16 | Rumors abound of an underground organization that helps employees leave Dungeon Inc. without going via Termination. Everyone denies being interested, but also suspects everyone else... |
| 17 | Nestor the minotaur from Surveying was targeted by Termination, but they got more than they'd bargained for. They say he escaped, and vowed revenge on the entire organization. |
| 18 | Some cephalid employees have started a cult of which they are the priests, worshipping a tentacled god that wants to devour the world. Why would anyone worship that thing? |
| 19 | Everyone woke up this morning when the floor shook. An earthquake, or something specific to the Dungeon? The corporate levels haven't suffered too much, but what happened below we don't know... |
| 20 | Tomorrow is Bring your Spawn to Work Day! Childless employees are assigned an orphan who will visit them monthly from now on. |
