-This pattern is a still a stub.
+Some games describe game worlds and possible actions within them but do not specify exact settings and events that players are to encounter, instead having these be things that can be varied between game sessions and game instances. While these can be improvised in some games and procedurally generated in other, [[Adventures]] are pre-created collections of settings, events, and characters that can be used without requiring substantial assembly.
 Wikipedia has a page for [[Adventures]]<ref name="wiki"/> which uses a slightly different meaning (e.g. that a campaign can be a lengthy adventure).

 The presence of [[Game Masters]] allow [[Adventures]] to be adjusted to better fit players' wishes as well as help save the overarching narratives when players have done actions which make the original structure impossible (or when the players simply are stuck and neither gameplay nor narration progresses).
