A few random adventure ideas.
-Cut off behind enemy lines.
Fighting your way back to friendly territory.
-Killer monster zoo and they’re loose.
-Bank job. Give
players the goal, general layout, and a few contacts and information about the
workers and operations. Let them work
out all of the details for the heist.
-Bounty hunt for a shapechanging spy. Must be taken alive.
-Salvage: lost merchant ship found adrift, expedition to
raid it.

gang.

banshee.

(or against them)

-Haunted battlefield: neighboring village and field overrun
with undead chained to spot. Valuable
treasure and a soul-stealer sword.

action.
-Keep on the Borderlands Redux: Dispatched to the Keep to
scout it and find it in flames.
Destroyed from the inside out and deserted of humans. Infested with humanoid looters. Betrayed, taken by stealth by a traitor and a
coalition of humanoids under evil priests.

full moon to create undead. Race against
time.

the colony.
A few interesting settings.

the empty graves of those lost at sea.
