Quest Ideas/Pitches

>>412300
You wake up in what looks like a Savannah. But after several minutes looking around you realize your not in the wild. The flashing burst of lights and the panes of plastic looking glass make it obvious. YOU ARE IN A ZOO! THIS IS YOUR HABITAT! ESCAPE!

I would follow a Legionary Quest
Following the life of a Roman Legionary in Caesars legions would be beyond fun.

>>412300
I kinda want to give Monstergirl Sky Pirates another go.

Or maybe just another kill->eat->grow stronger quest. Those are fun, if limited.

Confession. I'm a huge HFY and manly tears junky. I LOVE these types of quest.

>>412310
HFY is pretty great if done right.

>>412300

Okay so I have an idea I'd like to pitch, it's still a work in progress though and I won't be ready to run it until this fall probably (I like to do thorough research and prewrite a lot of lore and stuff). Anyways:

The main character, whom the players control, is a hunter/poacher in a world with mythical beasts. You stalk and kill these epic creautures to loot/harvest rare materials etc. (think ivory, cool feathers, venom sacs). These can be sold or used.

There will be a plot interwoven with the in-quest questing (killing stuff) which I'm not ready to reveal.

You will costomize the character (weapon of choice, companion, stats), the choices will have impact on the gameplay.

The focus will be on really fucking cool creatures and highly interactive "fighting", as well as the underlying story.

>>412300
You are part of a little and secretive high elven kingdom whose objective is to rule the world. Sort of illuminati quest.
------
You lead a team of drow who was mandated to find an artifact which may be able to darken the sun. Problem is the artifact is in high elven hands...
------
You are a cristalline creature of pure magic. Upon crashing on Earth, your body has been disseminated around the world, leaving you with only the weak core crystal. You travel the world, searching for unity.

I have two ideas rolling around in my head but since ive never ran a quest before in my life im hesitant to do more than just write up little details but maybe someone will like my ideas enough to develop their own version IDK.


the first idea is cool, to me at least, its set on the day of the columbine shooting and the mc choices can be student, faculty, security, fuck even a janitor if the players want it. the main goal of the quest is to survive the shooting

but there will be other 'side quests' that will only happen if the players choose to do them ie, clean up a spill, go to class, etc.

the mechanics of how to give players the character options as well action stuff that could occur.

the 2nd quest is probably pretty a common one as it is just a 1 first person civ quest. I liked the way the medieval mercenary quest dealt with certain civ aspects

the difference would be the location would be static and already decided + main character was already written but players would choose certain traits.

i had a few things written but certain civ aspects im a little confused about still mainly how to handle resources

Id love to see someone try and do a Berserk quest

>>412308
I'd follow legionary quest

>>413413
The first and second sound good
The third sounds a lot like shadow quest tho.

>>412300
Interesting. You'd have to make sure that the MC doesn't get sidelined by the NPCs expect in key character moments. The only quest I can think of with a consistent high NPC - PC ratio is Girls und Panzer: Lafayette Academy Quest on /tg/.

>>412305
So when the MC escapes, where does s/he go from there? Escape the world? Join a human rebel group?

>>412308
This sounds fun, but I'd rather play at the level of sergeant, where the QM can make a group of consistent underlings with recognisable characters. It'd be even better imo if the battles and skirmishes were alternated with other activities, like making camp with improvised resources or fortifying a fort using surrounding natural materials.

>>412309
>another go

Huh; I never saw it the first time. It seems like it would be fun.

>kill -> eat -> grow stronger

That might be fun to play as a dragon. Let's say we hatch out the size of an iguana and have to grow from there.

>>412817
That doesn't sound like my sort of quest. And the quest premise is cliche; there's absolutely nothing original in it, meaning that the originality will have to be provided by the creatures and the areas which they inhabit. I would say if you are going to run it, you should make suspense a large part, with the monsters lurking in areas with lots of cover and the MC being obliged to enter these areas alone. If you can make three-dimensional movement through the areas reasonably possible (say, through a collection of caves and tunnels or a town spread out over multiple levels of a tall forest), that would make the areas more interesting.

>>413413
>
Trying to control surrounding communities through political scheming? Not my cup of tea, but it sounds like it could be interesting.

>
See above

>
Interesting. I assume we would convince someone to carry us around by bargaining or hypnosis? Or good old lying about knowing where treasure is?

>>413456
The former proposal is tasteless. The latter proposal has potential, but is obviously a blank canvas, being more of a quest type than a quest setting, so there's nothing I can say about it.

>>413506
Not interested.

>>412300
A dragon age style world/quest. Full of Humans, many different types of Elves (Forest, Rain, Mountain, Dark, Light, etc), and several new races that I won't go into total detail about. You go on a quest to try and stop a legendary evil, uniting (or attempting) the land against this evil and other threats that may occur. Being able to send agents into places to spy/fight/and use diplomatic solutions, gaining influence and allies, do personal quests for your teammates, etc.

I've been mulling a Hai-furi/Kancolle crossover quest.

Failing that, I will get off my ass and do that Transport Fleet commander thing.

>>413706
I did not read Shadow Quest yet. I'm going to look at it. Thanks pal!

>>413827
Minor magic powers at first, you are merely a magic crystal the size of a handable stone. I saw a quest where you began as a sentient stone, it was atypic and began fun but OP disappeared very soon. Too bad.

here's a quest idea.

MC is a non human alien, a member of a intergalactic dominion, which just so happens to include some human worlds, some of which are fuedal or feral in nature.

He's part of law enforcement, hunting down a serial killer as he bounces from world to world.

MC searches by following clues/leads and making allies on civilized worlds and not so civilized worlds, each with their own customs, superstitions, and misconceptions.

>>413827
>Interesting. You'd have to make sure that the MC doesn't get sidelined by the NPCs expect in key character moments. The only quest I can think of with a consistent high NPC - PC ratio is Girls und Panzer: Lafayette Academy Quest on /tg/.
True. I'll keep that in mind. Thank you.

I just had an idea.

After enjoying the Christian apocalypse setting as a playground for a strategy rpg I got thinking. What about other settings based on mythology? Literal, non anime, ragnarok woukd be a nightmare survival campaign. What about a qst where the Scientologist are right and Zenu comes to earth and trades lasers and ballistics with the armies of the human race? The possibilities are as limited as the number of belief systems!

I've kind of wanted to do a superhero sort of quest in a 1920s prohibition era setting. I don't think I'd be able to write action well enough though.

>>412300
You are a human male that awakes in a ruined labratory filled with grotesque tributes to flesh. Upon making your way through the labyrinth that is this lab, you come to a vista overlooking a city that should not be, drenched in twilight and blood. Welcome to Commorragh.

>>412300
You are Adolf Hitler. As the allies were closing in on your bunker in Berlin, you planned to join your men in a final blaze of glory fighting the hordes of soviets. As you were putting on your equipment, your best friend and ever loyal companion, Goebbels grabbed your shoulder, shouted that you had to go on, live, and find a way to save Germany, before stabbing you with a sedative. Waking up, you find yourself in a wide field of wheat under the sun, but it is not the sun you know. Searching your pocket, you find a note written in Joseph's unmistakable handwriting "mein fuhrer, we both know the reich is at its end, thank you for everything you did for us, it was truly like a dream for those short few years, but we must all know when it is time to face reality. Your death will win us nothing in this war, far worse would it be should you be captured by the soviets. knowing you, of course this means little, firing with your people is what you had your heart on, I am sorry, but I must deny you this. The reich may not survive, but Germany will surely live on, and in time, she will need you once more, you would surely dismiss it if I had asked in a civil manner, so I found myself with one last option... I will tell the world you are dead by your own hand, and deny the Soviet of its last victory and with the dagger of light, I will sacrifice myself and my family, and invoke the ritual of Thule's gate. Do not despair for us, there is nothing left here regardless, even if we could live, life without our fuhrer and our home would not be life. Live on, fight, and return. Thule awaits you, and with her magic, one day, I know Germany will call you back. Goodbye mein fuhrer, and may God be the wind at your back."
So begins Adolf's journey through a magnificent fantasy world of magic and adventure, seeking to one day return to his world and free his people from the tyranny of international Jewry once and for all...

A No More Heroes quest.

>>416198
Anything you'd be wanting in particular?

>>412300
An orc tries to reach celebrity among civilized countries. He comes from a feral tribe and is a bard.

>>415857
Isn't that the plot to "He is back"?

>>415652
>>413827
>expect

* except

I am thinking about doing a chaos Knight quest.
I will be using my poor Photoshop skills to illustrate it.
Otherwise the goal is to entertain a mad God with random actions.

>>412300
After really making shit, both God and Satan trial a lunatic succubus:
She has to be chaste during one year. May she fail, she will be utterly destroyed.
Basically a game where you must do the inverse the cliché is expecting from you.

>>416198
>>416257
That it doesn't end on the second thread this time. :P

>>417791
We could say that about a lot of quests. Worst is when QM just disappear without a word. It is very frustrating to not know if OP is really dead or not.

Stealing the basics of these >>415739 >>412310 >>415661 and smashing them together as awfully as I possibly can and running with it tomorrow. Thanks for some momentary passion anons. It'll be a neat break from my other stuff.

I wouldn't mind a qst where you're an adventurers sentient weapon (or bit of armor for that matter). you give them advice on what ever is going on and if you're not getting along with your adventurer you roll to "inconvenience" them (sword gets stuck in the sheathe, shield strap breaks and leaves adventurer exposed, etc).
wouldn't mind playing that but then again i'm new.

>>419602
It would be a bloodlust quest with the capacity of the weapon to take control of their hosts (and some superpowers)

>>416415
No, I'm pretty sure it's completely different, my idea is a fantasy world adventure starring Hitler as he tries to find a way to return to earth, not him already being on earth in present day.

>>419847
So, your trying to either stop him from getting himself a resurrection cult or your trying to keep him from using a gate to and out of purgatory. My only question is will Eva Braun be involved?

>>419856
No, you are hitler. You aren't trying to stop yourself... You want to find a way to get back to earth and save Germany and the white race from the judeo-bolshevik menace.

>>419856
And not purgatory, another world, Thule, from nazi mysticism. /pol/ themes in a generic fantasy world with magic and adventure taking influence from nazi mysticism.

>>419886
Ah, sounds about right for that half of 4chan. Have a good run.

>>412308
That actually sounds like something I'd like to run.

I've been thinking for a while of doing a Roman Patrician Quest, where you play as a patrician family and spend your time undergoing intrigue and gaining more and more power over time. I think a Legionary quest could be a good way to prologue that, setting up the first pater famillis in the years before becoming a Senator, starting as perhaps a tribune, or even simply a Centurion if the players wanted their first character to be a new man.

I think it might be too similar to Motorcycle Wizard quest but if any one is interested in the setting I'll happily run a quest for it.

In the the year 1999, Italian formula 1 racer Alonso Monet’s car combusted in the Platinum Prix in Paris, France. Alonso lost control of his car and crashed into guard rail injuring four. Rescue teams immediately responded but the blaze of the wreckage would not be extinguished and Alonso was unable to be pulled from the car. After an exhausting five minutes Alonso exited his car. He was wreathed in fire and his body was described as “odd”.
“It was terrible and demonic.” one eye witness recounts.
Alonso, upon seeing the damage, apologized, re entered his vehicle, and despite the organizers signaling to end the race, Monet refused to stop and finished all 78 laps in what was later recognized as a record time, all while his car remained on fire.


Just playing around with a little more belivability to each event, having few more of the events, and then just adding car roared and became more than just a car. Many report that Alonso Monte’s car behaved as “alive” or “demonic”. Alonso Monte was the first officially documented Devil.
Reports of similar occurrences started to spread all around the globe; a soccer mom picking up her kids from school turning in a fit of road rage, truckers falling asleep at the wheel resulting with their convoys coming to life, high speed chases resulting in neighborhoods being destroyed, everywhere cars and their drivers transforming into monsters, demons, and devils made of fire, metal, oil, wind, and rubber. On June 1st, 2000, the first case of intentional Devil transformation to commit a crime, a Devil robbed a bank in Washington D.C. The Devil transformed and ran it’s car into First Bank, injuring ten and killing five people within the bank. The Devil raided the vault and was quickly pursued by the police. The Devil led them all around the city, leaving destruction and mayhem in its wake. The White House was locked down and a state of emergency was issued throughout the city. Two officers in pursuit transformed into Devils and were able to apprehend the criminal. The resulting damage ended with one third of the city damaged, fifty injured and thirty-six dead. In an effort to combat the threat of Devils the organization ANGL, was formed, using Devils to fight Devils.

The year is 2015, roads and highways are unsafe only ventured by those brave enough to chance the Devils or Devils themselves.Many towns have become isolated from the outside world causing gangs of Devils to terrorize and reign over them. ANGL is putting up a brave fight but distrust for Devils has been hampering their efforts. The world is going to Hell.

>>419962
Ugh I left some notes that an editor gave me in there ignore
>Just playing around with a little more belivability to each event, having few more of the events, and then just adding car roared and became more than just a car.

>>419962
>First paragraph
okay....

>Second paragraph
eh.

Rather than that second paragraph, I'd prefer to hear how you plan to do the quest.

>>419984
The MC would be a Devil that could either be a new member of ANGL or a Devil gang. I have a general plot laid out but I think I'd give a bit of free reign. Posters will decide what faction and what kind of Devil the MC would be

>>412300
I got one.

You're a mob character in an anime with a Highschool DxD-esque cliche-ridden, fanservice-so-annoying led by a Shounen hero - except you're aware that you are and really just want to get through the 2nd and 3rd years of High School and maybe get a scholarship, amidst all the chaos. However, due to circumstances, somehow you end up being on either the side of the hero or the big, evil bad guy and have to maneuver them through the steps of... operating as sensibly as they can.

Basically, it's a Quest about playing the best straight man that you can by pointing out things like property damage, that homework is due, that the reasoning to save the world or destroy it is bullshit and actively discourage the cliches and get the villainnesses/heroines to sto slobbering over hero/bad guy dick and act normal for once.

>>412300
I'm thinking of running a Dungeon Crawl Classic tournament funnel where every anon gets his own (randomly generated) character. Funnel keeps going until the 0-level party reaches the end of the dungeon and exits. Those that die in the ensuing bloodbath will just get replaced by fresh PC's. We'll have say, 8 slots in the party, anytime one of the slots is cleared up we can let another character in.

In the end, the 3-4 survivors that make it out alive, will be the protags for more adventures. Thinking of just using the DCC ruleset and modules.

>>418148
What?

>>422128
Oniric civ i presume. With a lot of disturbing visualisation for the players. It would make a good adaptation as a comic or an animation.

I have the vague idea and the intro to an undead roman quest. Think something loosely along the lines of Army of Darkness meets Conan The Barbarian. Would anyone be interested in it?

>>423022
idk what Army of Darkness is, but an undead roman quest sounds interesting.

>>420056
so....nearly nothing is set in stone.

I had this idea for a quest back when the board was up first, but I was too lazy to finish it and scared to post anything, but here it is now;

it was gonna be a group six role playing as the members a space ship, they were gonna name their ship and all.
In another thread there would be another story, of another crew, but in the same universe, in fact on the same planet, and in time, the two stories/threads would collide.

Here's the story with actual voice over that would follow it;

>>422913
Agreed.

has anyone considered doing a 40k quest where we play as an inquisitorial agent, going about the galaxy fighting xeno, heretic, and daemons?

So, I've had an idea, but I don't really know where to go with it besides a bit of base building, resource construction, and exploration.

Basically, damaged "companion android" wakes up in the cargo hold of a ship, ship gets fucked up in warp transit, the cargo hold the character is in gets spat out into random dimension thanks to hyperspace being allergic to unprotected free-floating mass.

The cargo hold the character is in ends up in the middle of a wasteland on a planet that turns out to be a fantasy world with dorfs and not-quite elves who can turn into giant bats every full moon.

The cargo hold is mostly intact with a bunch of useful materials to make shit with, and maybe some actually useful working things is the players roll well, as well as a connected corridor bit that could be broken down for raw materials.

The problem with this is I don't know where the fuck to go with all of this, nor how really to create a form of antagonist that could be interesting enough. I would really focus on the exploration, as this particular world I have fond memories of from a PBP game I was in a long ass time ago, but I don't really know if it would attract any players.

>>426333
It is a story of the technological crossover type. In this case, you are an android in a fantasy world with a bunch of futuristic material. You can go sandboxing in the world, or say for example "you need fuel to say active, and this fuel can only be found in the hands of Dragons/BBEG of the world/Nomming people, it becomes the objective of the game."

>>426705
That'd be interesting.

>>414003
>Transport Fleet commander thing
Do that instead, and remember with Daihatsu equipped you're not a transport fleet, you're an invasion force!

>>420099
Wasn't that Harem Bro quest?

I'd rather have one where you're the Class Rep and you have to make sure everyone in your class actually graduates. Except your school would be like Cromartie Highschool.

>>427181
Harem Bro? Linky please.

You'd probably win in 1 turn so long as you can keep that hot spicy on your back for longer than the rest.

But... wouldn't you say that that Mechazawa kid is really getting a little chubby these days?

>>412300
Would a quest involving the Warcraft setting be welcomed?

Had an idea of the MC being a veteren Gilnean shock trooper on their return journey from a tour at Black Rock mountain, keeping the region under watch incase those damn Orcs try to stir shit up.

Hearing tales from Ironforge that all was not well in the northern realms our heroes would be eager to get back and make sure their homeland is safe. Yet as they continued north the towns and news from the North continue to dwindle in size and meaning.

It's only when they are on the royal highway that they truly discover something wrong as bands of pesky murlocs, gnolls and other minor creatures have the gall to attack them!

There after we'd find out some terrible things have gone down in the Northren realms, civil war of Gilneas, Capitol city burning, King Teneras slain and undead roving and reaping their way to Dalaran.

It's up to our MC to become a deciding factor in a variety of key points in the wars to come, support the rightful king and his isolationist policy or the rebel lord who's efforts wish to safe all of the realm? Combat the undead as they come or let them pass as there are more pressing matters at hand? Try to reclaim the land even as it withers and dies around them, or flee to new lands based on the mad prophesies of a young mage?

>>430001
This is nice but didn't Genn secede and build a wall before this? If the MC was from Stromgarde, I think it would be better; similar problems but different opponents like the Syndicate, ogres, and so on.

>>427136
>landing without armored support

It's like you want to feed meat to the MGs and pillboxes.

I was thinking of having some Russian amphib tanks or some of the amphib Sherman variants as upgrades or sidegrades to the Kami tanks, kamo.

>>437827
Rocket barrage from the WG42 and shelling from Cruisers and the few BBVs you're allowed to take should give adequate cover for your Ka-Mi and Chi Ro's to land, but if you want to add Ruskie tanks for Bep or Yankie tanks for a burger destroyer, that's fine.

>>437854
I'm siding with the sentiment that QMs should refrain from OC ships to avoid people from being unnecessarily emotionally attached when the real thing shows up.

>>437857
I agree completely.

Tease them if you want, like the Devs did with Warspite but adding your own OCs with their own personality and art causes too many contradictions. Like Planefags Corgi PT boats. They didn't even really make sense.

>>437868
The Hoel/Sammie/Willie spam in /a/ has gotten to be annoying, desu
