My group just started a new Module (SKT) and wound up creating a bunch of video game like achievements. For example, "Hurt like Spurt - Get brought from full health to 0 HP from a single giant attack" and "Aren't You a Little Short for a Storm Giant? - Successfully Impersonate a Giant" and "Their watch has ended - Kill all the giants during a TPK" or non SKT achievements "INCONCEIVABLE! - Roll 3 20s in a Row", "They have a cave troll - Win a fight against a dozen 1/2_CR or lower enemies and 1 CR 7+ enemy", "Its just a flesh wound - finish a combat with less than 10% of your HP"
We've had a lot of fun making them up and reading what others make. So I thought to throw the idea out here and see what people could come up with.
