If we are to take the term, Axiom, at its second meaning: an established principle or law of a science, art, etc. , then--I submit--the plot/scenario of a created adventure is as much deserving to be discussed within the context of this folder (Campaign Workshop) as any other component someone designs-creates for the game played; be it a new spell, character class, magic item, or monster.
Naturally, such things would not be specific to a particular campaign, and would be--for the most part--just generic, but, for now, if any member has an idea-plot-hook or full scenario they think might make an interesting adventure, please toss it here. I'll start, with one that just came to me this evening.
What if, instead of all the dragons being extinct as so many generations have thought/been told, that one--just one--managed to escape the genocide-war waged against dragonkind those 100s of years ago? Even worse, what if it turned out that the dragon had been a fully adult female, having been fully impregnated during the very last mating season of their kind? And what if, lo and behold, this had all been foreseen by sages and mystics of old, and written down--only to have their warnings become lost, and forgotten by the races of men, dwarfs, elves, and so on?

That's a fun one, captaincrumbcake. Have you checked out Mythmere's stuff over at Frog God Games? He offers lots of this kind of good stuff. |

I like this one. Whole campaigns in here, if dragons are (or become) important enough.
Okay, I'll bite and suggest something.
Small city of humans suffers a terrible plague, losing some 25% of its population in a year. The local wood-elves seems to become more numerous at the same time. Hm...

A large blob of dark matter is eating away at the planet, everyone thinks it will end the world, what do you do?
I have a small post on my blog explaining the idea in a little bit more detail.

1) The PCs hear of an offer to dig a cellar. It's decent money, and even the mage can use a shovel, so why not? Although they wonder why no one else wants the job...
2) The local men who went to explore the ruins all came back stronger and smarter. Everyone is talking about it.
3) Despite the drought, the lake seems to be growing. At this rate, it could flood the town in a week or two.

This was a great thread while it lasted. Maybe it will come back?
1) Everyone is supposed to be in mourning, orders from the king, but no one knows why.
2) Crop circles with gold pieces scattered inside them.
3) Tons of scavenger birds sitting around on every rooftop.

You are bringing it back out into the light. Seems like a great thread to unearth to me.
