DNDSMQ 04-06-08
Here’s a short, fun, and light quiz for you. I exceeded my blog/weird projects work quota for the week by launching Cuddle Monsters so I had to cut back on blog time. So the quiz is a little shorter than usual but it might be the harder yet because of the topic - plot hooks.
If DMs are great at understanding plot hooks why do players have a reputation for not getting hooked? And why are players so clueless when they are presented with a plot hook? Maybe this survey will shed some light on this phenomenon.
All plot hooks were generated using Myth Weaver’s Random Hook Generator.
NOTE: Some e-mail clients and RSS readers aren’t able to submit your quiz answers to the website. If you’re reading this from an e-mail subscription or a feed reader you should head to Dungeon Mastering to take the quiz.
This week’s quiz - Plot Hooks!

It doesn’t hurt that I was writing a new plot arc for my Tuesday campaign while I was taking the test. My players, however, were they to take this test, would likely answer “head to the tavern” for every question….

@zozeer:
The psyc modifier never screws anyone up. However if you’re already screwed up it’s going to let you know!
