+Roll me a character from scratch: a 1st-level fighter, a farm kid who
+signed up with the town militia last week and has never swung a sword at
+anything that swings back. Roll the stats in the open and keep whatever
+comes up, even if it's ugly.

+Start me on my very first assignment, something that should be routine
+and is about to go wrong.

+Roll me a character from scratch: a 2nd-level ranger, a quiet tracker

+Start a hunt: something has been taking travelers off the north road,
+and the bounty on it just doubled. I want to track it to its lair.

+Roll me a character from scratch: a 3rd-level cleric, a gruff older woman

+Roll me a character from scratch: a 4th-level wizard, a nervous academy
+dropout who is better at magic than anyone will admit. Let me pick my
+prepared spells once the sheet is rolled, and give me a familiar.

+I want a mystery: strange lights over the marsh, livestock found cold in
