If I'm reading your original post correctly, you want to be able to generate the bones of an adventure with a single click. For that, you'd need... A setting (dungeon, village, forest area, mountain side, etc.) A plot/hook/reason to engage. An enemy. Maybe allies and/or friendly NPC's...

I figured since it was specific to a 5E version of AtG I'd put it here, but maybe it'd be better suited to the Story Hour forum. It makes no difference to me.

Session 9 Pre game notes: They will probably need a rest at this point, and they'll need to figure out what to do about poor Sai. Will they teleport back to Pellak? Either way, the Oni did double back and escaped deeper into the giant caves. The Jarl and his remaining giants are...

Session 8 Note: This was our 50th session of the campaign. As such, I decided a little bonus was in order. All players got an inspiration point. During the big fight in room 9/10 of the upper lair, one of the fire giants had commanded an ogre to run and warn the Jarl, and that's just...

Goblins ALWAYS say, "irregardless" earning them their place as one of the most hated races of all time. Sent from my SGH-M919 using EN World mobile app

Gaaa! I just realized that I've been writing about Thoradin as a cleric of Moradin when he is, in fact, a cleric of Clangeden! A small detail, but one to get right nonetheless. Sent from my SGH-M919 using EN World mobile app

I, personally, don't let the scryee know about the attempted scry. I either make the save roll secretly or have the player give me several rolls in advance that I use later when necessary. Sent from my SGH-M919 using EN World mobile app

I give out magic items less than I did during 3.5 days and more than is probably recommended in 5E. One thing I've found works well is to have magic weapons scale with the character, slowly revealing new powers as the PC levels up, which tends to give the weapon real meaning to the PC. They...

Session 7 Note: It was somewhere around this session that I realized that I was going to have to beef Selendra Rainfall and Joshua Ironjaw up a little bit if they were going to be viable combatant NPC's rather than cannon fodder. After getting some good advice here on the boards re: leveling...

Session 6 We started the session in the room with two fresh frost giant corpses. After a quick search, and with no other exits from the room, the party carries on the strategy of sticking to the right wall which leads them back out onto the ledge overlooking the rift, and then back into the...

Session 5 Notes: Looking over my end notes for session 5, I see that they're not very detailed, so I might try to flesh them out a bit. But before I get to them, I'll backtrack just a little to fill in some gaps in the narrative. In the hill giant dungeon, after the heroes set all the...

All goblins are born with Billy Joel's, We Didn't Start The Fire playing constantly in their heads, and continues throughout their lives. Sent from my SGH-M919 using EN World mobile app

Goblins favorite game is, Stinkfinger, the rules of which are unprintable on a family friendly forum. Sent from my SGH-M919 using EN World mobile app

Goblins favorite jokes are incorrectly told knock knock jokes. Example: Knock knock! Who's there? Orange! Orange who? Elves are stupid! Ha ha! Ha ha! Sent from my SGH-M919 using EN World mobile app

Session 4 Some pre-session notes to myself to try to work out some possible avenues of intrigue among the different factions dwelling within the hill giant dungeon: The party has walked into an ambush. From the NE door, the Keeper and his two ape pets will charge. The Keeper will step...

Session 3 An hour after they hunker down in the cave to rest, Edran, up in a tree on watch, hears Rufus whine at him. A few seconds later he hears the tell tale howling of wolves on the hunt. Ten minutes later the wolf pack is cresting the rise and Edran scurries down the tree and tries to get...

Session 2 We start with the party just having opened the door to the giant's great hall so there's not much to plan here except to prepare for a fairly epic battle. They are facing some 27 giants and giant kin. I give them ten minutes to plan, OOG, plus they get a free round to act since...

Against The Giants: Campaign Journal This journal is not really meant to be a story hour, but it didn't seem to fit on the main 5E board, so I asked that it be ported over here. If I were to write out my current campaign as a story hour I'd start from the beginning and write it out in a much...

Since some advisers are assuming a little beyond the actual situation (my fault for not describing what's going on), I'll give a quick rundown on where we're at. Warning! Potential spoilers ahead! I'm running a module and the party are deep into it. Probably about halfway through. They've...
