[QUOTE="Nagol, post: 5298268, member: 23935"] 0) Examine campaign current situation for interesting situation -- look at loose ends and unresolved conflicts for inspiration. 1) Decide on the basic structure of the situation -- exploration of static environment, response to other's action, proactive party action. 2) Decide on any thematic elements in the situation. 3) Decide on expected threat level and reward level. 4) Decide on what campaign elements will be reflected in the adventure. What NPCs, both individual and groups, will be represented and/or interested in the situation, location, McGiuffin, etc. 5) Decide how much each group knows, how much involvement is each is willing to commit for their current knowledge, and each group's goals. Assign a starting involvement for each group and likely evolution of their involvement. 6) Using broad strokes, decide how different situational resolutions will impact the various groups and the campaign in general. This step can often be skipped if the adventure will have very limited impact on the campaign universe. 7) Run the adventure. 8) Assign consequences and impacts based upon actual resolution of the situation.
