    The RPG a Day has arrived, and like every year I have very little time to make a post, let alone one post a day: D
    But that doesn't mean I have to pull back! Maybe i will combine some of the next prompt in a single post, but for now get 1d20 ideas for adventure beginnings.

    1) Two rival gangs are fighting for a new drug’s recipe that allows who consumes it to temporarily see in the ethereal plane.

    2) The restoration works of the local temple have revealed an older building below. Who will dare to explore the depths of this new building?

    3) All the nobles invited by the king for the Great Hunt withdrew because they were injured or frightened by the creature freed for the occasion. Now the king is asking for someone to take out the big beast before it comes out of the hunting grounds and causes harm to the population

    4) After falling asleep near or inside a ruin, all party members participated in the same dream set in the ruin when it was still intact. Is something trying to communicate with them?

    5) A mad prophet of a forgotten divinity entered the village, screaming obscenity and invoking misfortunes in case the population does not convert to its new cult. The first plague, a shower of blood, seems too far-fetched to be true, if it were not for those disturbing red clouds that are rapidly approaching from the east .

    6) A new delicious type of meat from the south is selling in the capital, and at incredibly low prices. The sellers form a compact group so as not to reveal their supplier, stating that the goods are safe. At the same time, all troll sightings in the surrounding regions seem to have suddenly stopped.

    7) A group of kobolds dressed in botched armor was blocked at the doors of the court, asking for an audience in common language. The ruler, little inclined to risk the life of its guards for a similar frivolity but not being able to even lower to give hearing to these beings requires the intervention of a third party to ascertain the requests of this gang and in the worst case to remove the problem.

    8) A merchant of magical items has arrived in the city, offering magical items at discounted prices. At midnight the following day, however, the spells went crazy, turning their effects against the users. No trace of the merchant have been found.

    9) A group of adventurers showed up at the inn full of gold and platinum coins, beginning to spend all the money right and left . Where did they get all that?

    10) One of the old farmer's sons outside the village entered the square screaming. Madly delirious, he says that the family is still trapped on the farm, surrounded by "ravenous shadows that walk" and asks for help for himself and his loved ones

    11) The De Valois, an ancient noble family who was fallen to poverty, have now organized a grandiose party in their mansion, attaching precious gifts to the invitations to ensure the presence of the most prestigious members of high society. Maybe a turnaround in their business?

    12) The invention of an ogre engineer made a sensation at the annual local inventors' fair: a talking automaton similar in all respects to a human child, but with visible gears in the sternum. A few days after the end of the fair, a shocked woman shows up looking for her son. From the description there would seem to be few doubts, very few doubts indeed.

    13) The count's daughter fled at night with the gamekeeper's son, in a romantic escape worthy of the old stories. Will the two manage to get married before the count stops them?

    14) The barony is in chaos after the cultists of the Black God have succeeded in their assassination attempt and come to power. Now they try to isolate themselves completely from the outside so as not to leak news of the incident, in order to increase their power in the shadows.

    15) The Marquis' son seems to have fallen ill after meeting a fairy in the woods, and no doctor can understand the cause of his malaise, much less cure him. The court magician is very worried: there are a few days left for the summer solstice, and the time to cure the child may be very small.

    16) The Wandering Knight, heroic figure of a past war, seems to have lost its mind. Anyone who is unfortunate enough to cross its path is challenged to a duel to the death. Many have tried to make it come to its senses: for now, no one has been successful

    17) The dragon that lived in the mountain on the eastern border was seen fleeing in flight with what it could bring of its immense treasure. What could have led it to such an absurd gesture?

    18) A strange magical object was placed overnight on the castle floor in the throne room. Whoever touches it seems to disappear in a flash of light, without returning. Nobody has yet had the courage to move it.

    19) After decades of waiting, the magician Alexandrus' Amusement Park has reopened its doors! Gone are the times when golems tore visitors to pieces or magical attractions caused macabre accidents! You are all invited to the Magician Alexandrus' New and Renovated Magic Amusement Park!

    20) The city guard is on strike! If their wages are not raised, they will remain barricaded in the garrison until their requests are fulfilled.
