Questions about this table

Are quest hooks full adventures or just starting points?

They are starting points. Each entry gives you a premise, an implied conflict, and enough detail to improvise the first session. Building out the full adventure is part of the fun - the hook gives you a direction, not a script.

How do I connect a random hook to my existing campaign?

Swap in names of your existing NPCs, factions, and locations. A generic hook about a stolen artifact becomes personal when the thief is someone the party already knows and the artifact belongs to a faction they have been working with.

Keep the tables you trust close to the campaign

These built-in tables work here without an account. In a campaign, you can search and roll the same library, mark Quick Roll favourites, or add a built-in table to My Tables as an editable copy. Public rolls do not transfer automatically.
