A plot that sounds really neat while you're in the middle of it, but afterwards doesn't really make any sense — sounds a bit like a J.J. Abrams production.
I don't mean that flippantly, I'm serious. Sounds like GPT-2 might be really good at producing an enjoyable experience, even if there's no underlying structure. What would be really cool would be to add some sort of generated structure as well. Can GPT-2 be used to stitch together plot elements, or would a naive Markov model work for that?
Yeah that's a really good future/research question. I've thought some about how you could do more structured generation. Maybe you could do some kind of reverse summarization, where you take a plot outline and expand out the details would be really interesting to try out? It's still not clear the best way to do structured text generation.
Now you're in A Young Lady's Illustrated Primer territory...

Nice, I wondered if anyone else would bring that up!
Question, have you read this? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/306940.Impro
There are some interesting ideas about what makes a story "engaging", even if there is little or no consistency.
(The book is really good by itself, regardless if you will use it for your project or not...)
Every DM has had their “plot” smashed by the players...so let’s torture the AI with that. XD
