Eureka: 501 Adventure Plots to Inspire Game Masters is now available for preorder as a print + PDF bundle, with immediate access to the PDF. Written by the authors of Gnome Stew and featuring a foreword by industry legend Monte Cook, Wolfgang Baur says that "...Eureka! stands as one of those essential tools that GMs and game designers will find themselves reaching for again and again.
Featuring a foreword by gaming industry legend Monte Cook, Eureka contains 501 complete adventure plots usable with almost any roleplaying game, plus GMing advice and tools for making the most of every plot. Each plot includes a hook to draw your players in, an outline detailing enough material for a complete adventure, generally in the form of 3-5 meaty encounters, and any game mastering notes, plot twists, and advice you might need to turn that plot into a fun night of gaming.
Eureka’s 501 plots are broken down into fantasy, sci-fi, and horror, with 167 of each. All plots are easily adaptable to multiple genres (we’ll show you how), and we provide four indexes to make it easy to find the plot you need.
