Elements of Adventure

Elements of Adventure

Hundreds of storytelling prompts for Game Masters and Solo Roleplayers. Mix and match them to create millions of unique adventure ideas!

What's Inside

  • Locations — tables of location aspects (e.g. "Hidden", "Forbidden") and locations (e.g. "Tower", "Swamp") you can mix and match to create unique settings for your adventures and scenes.
  • Characters — tables of character aspects (e.g. "Untrustworthy", "Fanatical") and characters (e.g. "King", "Cultist") to inspire your heroes, villains, and NPCs.
  • Targets — McGuffins your adventure revolves around — things the heroes may strive to obtain, steal, smuggle, trade, deliver, or destroy. Also useful as clues for mystery adventures.
  • Objectives — quests and goals the heroes will pursue throughout the adventure, or evil plans of the antagonist the heroes must thwart.
  • Events — random encounters, challenges, and complications to throw at your heroes during their journey.

How to Use

Combine prompts from different tables to generate adventure ingredients:

"Cursed Archive" inhabited by a "Vengeful Bounty Hunter" who wants to "Defeat a Monster" using a "Forgotten Blueprint"

Each combination sparks a different story. Use them for worldbuilding, character creation, scene ideas, random encounters, or to improvise entire adventures from scratch.

Works great with Quick Quest and Solo Roleplay Made Simple, or any other roleplaying system.
