Hey DMs this weeks episode was great and really touched on some awesome ideas about plot, story-telling and rpgs. The key phrase that stuck out to me was when Jim said we need to be marrying these concepts of plot, and player driven choices. So I thought a fun idea would be to attempt a "MadLibs" DMnastics, this will either work great or fail completely!
Grab a plot skeleton and fill it in to create a new and unique plot to use.
A. It is the ______1_______ birthday, all the _______2________ have gathered in the ______3______ to wish ________4______ well. Unbeknownst to the _______5_______, a _________6________ from _________7_______ has come with the hopes of ___________8________ this happy occasion.
B. Far above the _______1______ and group of ______2______ prepares a _______3_____ with the sole intention of causing _______4______ to any who ________5_______ their ________6________.
C. The ________1______ son has been ________2________, so the _________3_____ have been summoned from all across the ______4______ in order to ______5____ those worthy of _________6_________.
D. The long lost _____1_____ has been _______2_____, with its _________3______ comes the rise of ______4______, many believe that ______5_____ will soon follow.
E. In the town of Lusina Tirion a lone _____1_____ have been causing all sorts of _______2_______, no one knows where ______3_____ came from or how ________4______ can be stopped, but ______5_____ is for certain, only those ______6_______ will be able to ________7_______ the ________8_____ from ______9______ the town and its people.

I really wanna use some of these ideas, also considering typing out more of these and letting my players decide the outline/structure of the story they would like to play in.

It is the Final birthday, all the remnants of the Dwarven Clans have gathered in the Cavern of Dun Ka'Din to wish the last of their forces well. Unbeknownst to the survivors, a horde of reinforcements from The Lost Mine has come with the hopes of defeating the dragon and turning this day into what it should be. A this happy occasion.
Nobody had touched the birthday option, so I thought I'd take a crack at it. If all the Dwarves celebrated their birthdays on the same day, it would be an epic party, and I've decided that's how they do it in my world now because there ain't no party like a Dwarven party!
Also, being the last birthday before a final, last ditch attempt to defeat the dragon that has plagued them and single-handedly (single-clawdly?) brought their entire race to the brink of destruction would be a super sombre and poignant event. The reinforcements (the PCs) coming in the nick of time to save the day would turn it back into the raucous party it should have been. Dwarven debauchery all 'round!
