An adventure in a roleplaying game is a single, discrete story. Several adventures in sequence form a campaign. Game companies often publish pre-made adventure supplements. These are often called modules.


Adventures consist of certain basic elements common to all forms of storytelling:

Contents

[edit] Exposition

"You all meet in a tavern..."

[edit] The attack of the plot

"A wild-eyed old man stumbles through the door..."

[edit] The action

The party journeys to the dungeon and begins hacking up orcs.

[edit] The resolution of the plot

"...and as you open the door, you hear the bellow of the Orcish Chieftain as he rushes to the attack!"

[edit] Denouement

Everybody divvies up the treasure, and the wild-eyed old man reveals what that amulet the Chieftain was wearing actually does.
