To the best of my knowledge there is no preferred format for adventures. I would suggest you look at some of the previous Rifters that have adventures in them. 47 has The Fall of N.O.R.A.D for Rifts and Chaos Earth. You can check out the Rifter Index for more examples of adventures.

Just use what most books do and have a beginning, middle, and an end. Make sure any relevant N.P.C.'s are stated out and have fun with it.

Good luck :ok:

Correct, there is not a specific format. That can cause a little confusion, but it is also an advantage for the writer to be able to best present material as the specific adventure requires. For example the first adventure of that NORAD Duology was organized by room and by day, inappropriate for most other adventures.

Just follow the suggestions in the submission guidelines on the main site (proper abbreviations and such). I strongly suggest getting a second pair of eyes proof read the material before submission.

I like the style the others have suggested. I am not a fan of "Hook, Line, Sinker" aventures. Other adventures I like include the PFRPG Yin Sloth Jungles material. I also enjoy using random encounter tables, like the ones in Mutants in Avalon (After the Bomb) for example, to flesh out the story while travelling from place to place.
