Giraffe Supplement
Here are some settings and encounters for There is a giraffe who wants to get the best leaves but his neck is too short.
Each setting includes a brief description, a couple or rumors, and a "d666 table".
To use the table, roll a six sided die three times, once for creature, once for want/behavior, and once for complication. Skip any crossed out items as you count down each column. Hopefully this gives you an interesting combination! When you have resolved the encounter, cross off the table entries. Repeat as needed.
