Ok, given time to consider the possibilities for new plot lines, this would be a great way to make the players look to someone to point them in right direction. But that bashing bunnies trick will likely not work twice... Go to Comment

This isn't really a plot at all. Go to Comment

This plot hook opened an entirely new idea for me.

I never realized that many of the things I introduce have a point or a storyline or .....

But life is not straightforward and things happen that we do not have an explanation for. I think it is terific to remember that odd things happen, also in our fantasy worlds.

I can only say: Thank you Strolen for briging this back to my mind. Go to Comment

This one invites the reader to eagerly fill the holes.

This works well as a proto-plot hook, as Strolen said. The players trying to make sense of the random nonsense can provide their own adventure hooks this way, and congratulate themselves on "figuring out" the GM's strategy.

It also works well just to keep the pc's shaken and confused--they're more pliable that way. Go to Comment

This is a verry good way to confuse PC, and or, to invite them in to a new quest. I just mus tell this to my GM :)) Go to Comment

Another early sub that just needs a little bit of polish.

It's a great way to drive the PCs insane. Go to Comment

An interesting bit of destraction that hints at  a much more complex world than the PCs can see at that moment.  A setting that seems deep and complex, has always been a selling point of me in gaming.  Of course this guy doesn't really have any depth beyond the hint at something more.

A nice filler encounter.

How about a little twist:
The adventurers are hired by the 'rightful owner'(the ruffians leader) to clear that mine for a meager reward and all riches they find. Let them know (later) what they have done to this poor village. Maybe the REAL owner wants to claim his legacy back. Play with it. Go to Comment

*cough*Baldur's Gate*cough!* :P Go to Comment

*cough* cliche unoriginal filler plot which I (and a 1000 other people) probably came up with before there was a Baldur's Gate *cough*

No apologies for this one, but it was one of the original submissions for strolen.com before it became a worldwide sensation ;) Geez, had to put something up didn't I? What is a idea site without ideas? Go to Comment

The beauty, depth, surprise twist ending. It has none of it. :) Go to Comment

That is pretty much what I meant when I wrote this. Thanks for rewording it a bit for me.

I spent a lot of time trying to get the nuances just write so the flow of the plot hit a crescendo at just the perfect moment. I would have to say that this is my magnum opus and there is really nothing else I can do to improve on it. Go to Comment

Saddest part was that when quality improvement was mentioned it wasn't my quality that was shown getting better but a comparison with another. ;) hehe Go to Comment

I think the subtle depth and growth of the plot arc were perfected. They were very small changes as the original was quite complete and almost perfect. The low votes continuously amaze me but I know greatness when I write it. Go to Comment
