[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 7975221, member: 6801845"] Ah, sorry I misunderstood. Then it can be anything from being trapped in the abyss or the heart of an evil empire. Maybe it's a peaceful kingdom (perhaps they're even retired adventurers) and there's an invasion by aberrations, drow or dragons. An ancient curse is turning the dead in to zombies (not just shambling dead think Resident Evil or Left 4 Dead super zombies). There are any numbers of stories that can be told. In one of my previous campaigns it was a dragon disguising himself as a human in order to take over a kingdom and using his mother to create half-dragon armies. The group was part of a special forces team that hunted the half-dragons because they could devastate normal troops. What kind of setting? What kind of adventures do you like? Should they be exploring the cursed jungles of Chult or taking on kaiju on Monster Island? Urban adventure where the city is run by vampires? Dungeon crawls in a series of tombs dedicated to demons? Personally I do tend to make custom monsters, reskin or tweak existing ones (never assume a werewolf is just a werewolf) for these kind of things. There's also Kobold Press's Tome of Monsters which has more high level stuff. [/QUOTE]
