GAME MASTER NOTES

Here I make some basic notes for myself about the adventure. Below are three things I always like to
keep track of.

 Note how many characters and of what level the adventure was designed for.
 Note how many short/long rests are expected, if your game system contains mechanics like this.
 Note how many treasure rolls from which treasure horde tables are contained in the adventure.

STORYLINE
Give a brief overview of the situation the PCs will encounter in this adventure. Describe the major
premise, who the villain is, what they are up to, what the stakes are – those sorts of things.

RANDOM ENCOUNTERS
Build out a handful of random encounters you can use. You might have a random encounter take place if
the characters try to use more long rests than are expected, are in the middle of raiding a compound and
take a long rest, or even on short rests.

INCITING ACTION
Describe the inciting action, or adventure hook, that introduces the adventure to the characters and
motivates them to go on it.

fortifications; descriptions of rooms; encounters the characters will come across; treasure they may find;
traps and secret doors – all the cool stuff that makes up the meat of an adventure.

unsuccessfully). Do they receive a reward from an NPC? Does their favor with a faction increase? Stuff
like that.
