Here are some questions I'm thinking about.Are these meant to inspire a night of gaming, or an epic campaign, or is there some of both? Do you have an idea of how much detail you want? I feel that more detail leads to more inspiration, but of course it takes up more space.  Are there any general suggestions for making submissions more appealing? Here's an expritiment, I've written up the same scenerio with three different degrees of details. The plot itself iscliche and I would probably not submit it, but it just to give you an idea:The party is drinking at a bar, when a mysterious old man enters, hands them a map, and keels over dead. The map reveals the location of each of the three parts of the artifact of Kaz.The party is drinking at a bar, when a mysterious old man enters, hands them a map, and keels over dead. The map reveals the location of each of the three parts of the artifact of Kaz.    The first piece of the artifact is in the hands of an giant chief, the second is being held by a lich, and the third is guarded by a group peaceful elves.The party is drinking at a bar, when a mysterious old man enters, hands them a map, and keels over dead. The map reveals the location of each of the three parts of the artifact of Kaz, a device that is said to have the power to bring peace and happiness to the universe.     The first piece is being held by the giant chieftain Armorskull Bloodaxe, a ruthless tyrant always hoping to increase his power. He is currently hoping to overthrow and enslave a goblin tribe to the south. He does not recognize the value of the artifact.    The second piece is being held by The Nameless, a lich so old he has forgotten his own name. He has managed to tap in to a small portion of the artifact’s power, and jealously hopes to get his hands on the rest, but he is imprisoned in a small demiplane from which he cannot escape.     The last piece of the artifact is being held by the Order of the Golden Bow, an elven organization dedicated to protecting peace and harmony. They believe that the artifact is actually a creation of evil, and while they are normally peace loving, they are willing to die and kill to make sure the artifact is not assembled.</blockquote>
