Hi there Zagalf, the best book for that would be the Oldskull Adventure Generator. It has phased steps of adventure templates that do pretty much exactly what you're thinking of. ;) See also Oldskull Solitaire, which is available over at the DMsGuild but not here because of the 5th Edition publishing limitations. Hope that helps.
