Adventure Hook Random Generator
By Steven E. Schend



Ever find yourself stuck for an adventure idea right up to the time your players arrive for the game? Our Adventure Hook Random Generator gives you Dungeon Masters a starting point from which you can develop a new adventure. This handy program uses a number of preset variables to develop an adventure hook or starting idea for you.

Below are three different categories that, depending on the style of your game, provide starting points from which you can develop a D&D game session. You may need to adjust the wording of the result slightly to use it as a springboard to open your adventure. For instance, you might want to add place names indigenous to your campaign world, replace the generic titles with specifics, or introduce names of NPCs the player characters either have already met or know of by reputation.

Remember -- this is a random generation program. It can create classic situations as easily as it can generate some wildly unexpected ideas. If you don't like the idea that comes up, try the generator again, and you will soon come up with a great idea for an evening's entertainment.
