20 RPG Plots

I am expecting that I will be back behind the screen shortly after D&D Next comes out this summer. In preparation for this I have been doing some brain storming trying to come up with an idea for a campaign that both suits my style, yet is very different from anything I have done before.

In the course of this brain storming I thought of something that isn't really a campaign idea per se, but could be used to make a campaign more interesting. In his book 20 Master Plots, Ronald Tobias lists what he believes to be the only possible 20 plots in literature.

I thought it could be a fun idea to run a campaign where each adventure was a different plot on this list. The 20 plots are:

1. Quest 
2. Adventure 
3. Pursuit 
4. Rescue 
5. Escape 
6. Revenge 
7. The Riddle 
8. Rivalry 
9. Underdog 
10. Temptation 
11. Metamorphosis 
12. Transformation 
13. Maturation
14. Love 
15. Forbidden Love 
16. Sacrifice 
17. Discovery 
18. Wretched Excess 
19. Ascension 
20. Descension
