Steal This Hook! was a series of web articles written first by Doug Beyer and then by Robert Wiese on the Dungeons & Dragons website published monthly (initially twice-monthly) from September 2004 to July 2007, with 27 articles in total. It presents a variety of plot hooks and adventure ideas for the Eberron setting, and later also the Forgotten Realms, Greyhawk, Ravenloft, and d20 Modern settings. There was also an Eberron-themed random adventure hook generator (selecting randomly from the articles), though it is no longer functional.
