The Prompt

Design a complete tabletop RPG campaign with the following parameters:

System: [D&D 5e / Pathfinder / Call of Cthulhu / custom / other]
Player count: [X players]
Expected session count: [short 3-5 sessions / medium 8-12 / long 20+ sessions]
Tone: [heroic epic / dark horror / political intrigue / comedy / mystery / survival]
Setting: [fantasy / sci-fi / modern / historical / homebrew — describe briefly]
Player character level range: [starting level to ending level]
Core theme: [the central moral question or emotional journey of the campaign]

Provide:
1. Campaign premise (the hook that gets players invested in session 1)
2. Three-act structure with the central conflict in each act
3. The main villain — motivation, backstory, methods, and what makes them genuinely threatening
4. 5 key NPCs (name, role, personality, secret, how they relate to the players)
5. 5 memorable set-piece encounters (not just combat — include puzzles, social encounters, mysteries)
6. 3 major plot twists that subvert player expectations
7. Session 1 outline — exactly how to open the campaign and hook every player
8. Loot and reward progression arc
