Ten First Session Starters

Good evening Scribes! Today's post is written by our helper, KalamityKarissa! She wanted to take the usual "Start in a tavern" beginning to your adventures and spice them up. Feel free to use any of these in your Homebrewed or even official adventures!


 

  1. Wake up with other players in an unknown location. Everyone has amnesia.

  2. Recruited by the townsfolk guards, army, or others to deal with a bandit or monster type problem.

  3. While going about your daily life, a portal opens up and transports you to another world.

  4. Attend a party where things go horribly wrong!

  5. Received an anonymous letter in the mail requesting your service.

  6. Attend some form of tournament of warriors for a reward.

  7. Wake up in a lab where you are being experimented on.

  8. Wake up in a dungeon or pirate brig. Get interrogated or released.

  9. Simply wandering around and accidentally stumble upon active warzone or mass murder location.

  10. Suddenly attacked by assassins for unknown reasons. Find a letter with your name on a hit list along with the other player's names.
