Adventure Recipe: Defeat the Monster
A downloadable game
This is a one-page "adventure recipe" designed to make it easier the novice players to dive into Solo Roleplaying, and make it easier for the Game Masters to create adventures for their players.
This is the first adventure recipe in the series, I'm sharing it to see whether people will find stuff like this interesting/useful.
Each recipe will contain a quest objective (like "Defeat the Monster", "Rescue a Captive", "Retrieve a Stolen Object", etc.) with a list of prompts that will help you to improvise the adventure.
I'm considering making a library of recipes like these (the idea is inspired by the game "Follow" by Ben Robbins, Lovecraftesque, and the "adventure recipes" from "Magical Kitties Save the Day").
I'm looking for feedback - do you think something like this would be useful to people? Should I make more? Do you have any thoughts on how I could make these more useful? Please leave your feedback in the comments, or send me an email (lumenwrites@gmail.com), or reach out to me on discord (lumenwrites).

I really like the concept of this.
It's simple to make up an instant story for my journaling hobby!
Is there any chance you could provide a printer friendly version? I'm looking forward to printing more of your recipes!
Hey, thanks! I'm glad you found it useful! I'll try to make more, and I'll work on printer-friendly versions (it might take a bit of time to get it done though).
Thanks for taking your time to make these!
That is really neat. Straight to the point, with room for improvisation and further development. Perfect for getting the creative juicy flowing.
It would be very nice to have a library of recipes similar to this. A collection of different types of one page self containing inspiration for a quick start adventures is what I need for a late session during a tiring week.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks a lot for the reply, that's really nice to hear! I'll work on adding more recipes then =)
