RP Ideas for conflict/things to do in the Castle!

Hey y’all, so it has come to my attention that in our RPs (the Castle and my new Castle 2.0) Some are struggling to know what to do next or have our characters do, so I made this topic so we can come up with ideas for conflict and such!

I figured I’d look online for some ideas, and everyone can share any ideas they have as well!!

So here are some ideas I found!!!

Firstly, we need some more villains and anti heroes.

And I mean real villains. Villains who will kill, hurt, etc. or will create conflict at least. Who are conniving and such.

We can also have villains who are just mischievous but yea.

And in researching online..I’ve realized some of our problem.

We don’t have a story.

Our characters’ goals are to find each other (which is fine)

but also to “escape the castle” which they can’t do…cuz being in the castle is the whole point of the RP….

so what’s the Story of the RP other then that???

Thats some of the reason we’re struggling so much to find what to do. We need a story, another goal, etc.

Make it our own mini world/adventure/story. Forget that they’re “trapped” in the castle.

So here’s some ideas!

Conflict-

Kidnappings/hostage situations- But they aren’t resolved quickly/immediately. Maybe they last a little while, it takes democracy or a bit of teamwork to figure it out, or they have to actually search for their missing/taken comrade.

This would especially work if it’s someone the gang is very protective of.

Earthquake/Cave in- Someone or a group gets trapped. Maybe starvation or dehydration starts to set in. Fears, like closed spaces or the dark, etc. conflict can arise amongst groups with things like this because when people get hungry or thirsty enough, they’ll start doing crazy things, and if they don’t know you very well….

Sickness- Someone comes down with a disease. It can be Minor or severe, maybe even made up, or has to do with something specific to only them. They can become disillusioned, feverish, etc.

Injured/hidden injury- A character is hurt, maybe by someone else or just by surroundings. The group knows or maybe they hide it until it finally comes out (causing more conflict)

Bias- Characters who have prejudices against others, due to personal beliefs and such. They don’t have to be villains, they just have certain views that maybe are wrong or they’re trying to overcome but it causes conflict.
