Tome of Adventure Design is a comprehensive, start-to-finish resource for designing fantasy adventures for your favorite tabletop role-playing game. It is system neutral, and can be used with virtually any fantasy game. This book includes random generation tables for almost every step of the design process: locations, villainous plots, designing new monsters, and bizarre environments in strange, unknown planes of existence. Thousands of micro-prompts in the margins add additional brainstorming power to the process, and the book is filled with design advice from award-winning author Matt Finch.

"If you want a comprehensive tome for helping you design campaigns and dungeons and adventures in general, this is pretty much unsurpassed. It is THE book to get on that subject. I strongly recommend it." ---Questing Beast, Sept. 5, 2018
"It’s over 300 pages of randomly selected jolts to the brain.

And it’s inspiring…" Steve Winter, Designer & Contributor, Dungeons & Dragons for TSR and Wizards of the Coast, April 23, 2021
