How often have we sat there, trying to come up with "the best adventure ever," when what we really need to do is just take the flicker of an idea, play with it a little, ask a question like Scott did, and start filling in the blanks. Pretty soon you'll not only have the outline for a night's worth of adventure, you'll probably have more than enough material for a month's worth.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1744','Troy E.

Pretty soon you’ll not only have the outline for a night’s worth of adventure, you’ll probably have more than enough material for a month’s worth.

These adventure seeds remind me of those Clack entries, only more fleshed out -- good stuff, in other words. Thanks, Troy!<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1743','Martin Ralya'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> One of my favorite things about the original FR boxed set was the Current Clack section, which was full of rumors GMs could follow up on to create adventures (or use to make the world seem more alive).

I particularly like the Quickfoot Expedition... though I wonder what his real reason is for seeking the unicorns.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1741','Scott Martin'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> Nice start– I can see these being perfect side quests for a module based campaign [and a good way to shake up the expectations of the group].
