The dump is located on a stream, and the stream is Very Angry. Think the Sludge Monster River Spirit from Spirited Away.

Rat Kings.

Undead Rat Kings.

Undead Llama Hair.

Garbage Gnomes angry that the adventurers are coming to steal their "treasures".

Miasma.

[Digital Hellhound]

Broken magic items by local wizards. Wands that have been snapped in half, shattered mystic orbs, long-forgotten golems buried under the trash, abandoned familiars gone feral, frayed magic carpets, talking swords with no-one to talk to, spellbooks and grimoires someone spilled magic ink on... Magic things that still have power in them, but definitely won’t work as expected anymore. Who knows what all that accumulated unbound magic has done to the dump and the beings within?

You could also have more mundane trash piles which the goblins have dug into. The whole place becomes a treacherous maze where the goblins might emerge out of any mound of garbage. They could’ve laid deadly makeshift traps using pieces of garbage - drowning you in rotten fish or blocking your escape with trash avalanches.

Kinda a fun locale for an adventure. I hope they have fun with it!

[Castlecliff]

Spoiled potions, defective magical items, monsters borne from discarded magical items in late stage decay, "Anomalous areas" caused by such items decaying, poor people picking through the refuse, fires, corpses (including zombies), that sort of thing.

Hmmmm

My group's about to encounter the final series of battles in their current scenario, having tracked the local goblin menace to the city's dump.

Any suggestions for cool crap they might stumble across when exploring a fantasy refuse pile?

The first few minutes of Alita are in a refuse pile. Imagine what might have been thrown away.

[pikachu17]

Have a broken, apparently non-magical sword, that is actually a legendary anti-magic sword.
If they for some reason take the sword with them, they find out what the sword is soon.
If not, they will later get a quest to backtrack to the dump and retrieve it.
Actually, which level is this adventure? If they're goblins, not even kobolds, it's probably too low level for this.

There should be some kind of trash golem, made by an insane garbage hermit.

[Kagus]

They could stumble across Common Decency and Dignity, tossed in with the rest of the refuse.

[Mephisto]

A barrel tossed out haphazardly, filled with wands.

Or if you don't want to hopelessly derail the campaign, cut it down to like five and disregard all particularly nasty results.

Y'all talking about shapechanging druid and not even bringing up the 3.0 Master of Many Forms? Plebs

[GiglameshDespair]

I entered the dnd scene too late to ever even see a game of 3.0 out in the wild.

[Gentlefish]

It did get updated for 3.5 as well, but I forget which book it came from. Same book as Fist of the Forest and Nature's Warrior prestige classes.

MoMF was the wildshape prestige class, especially if your DM allowed the wildshape ranger archetype.

Hey, everyone. I've been invited to take part in a Star Wars: Age of Rebellion campaign. Nobody but the GM has played FFG Star Wars before, and as it'll be her first time GMing she is, per our mutual friend, somewhat nervous about it. Unfortunately, having never played myself, I don't really know what things to avoid as being mechanically annoying, so I'm worried I'm going to build around something that's going to cause a huge headache down the road without either of us realizing it ahead of time. Are there any skills/talents/weapons that are notoriously broken in Edge of the Empire/Age of Rebellion or just weird to deal with?

[Kagus]

Isn't that the system that gave us the "Revenge of Darth Janitor" story? Or is that another Star WaRPG?

There's been like 4-6 star wars rpgs

I think that's the West End version.
