Many of you probably have an unbelievable amount of Quest ideas and no way to realize them. This thread is here for you to blow off some steam.

I'll start. Pic related.
That is all for now.

Idea abandoned.

The only other one I thought about would involve the US, probably with a protaganist waking up in the capital city only to find he's just murdered a high ranking offical (The idea is a top general, or perhaps the Archmage of the city.) Basically, a murder mystery in the Unified Setting, revolving around trying to isolate just what caused him to kill in the first place.

I'm guessing this will be shot down as well, so I'll try and see if I can't offer something worthwhile a little later.

A Quest in this setting. Basically, you have Domains as the 'Normal world', and the Hells as the underworld, with little known about the heavens. Typical fantasy critters (gobbos, kobolds, orcs, trolls, evles, etc) exist, but not Sergals or other Unified setting creatures. Not sure how I'd do it, though. Either something similar to CSF, or maybe just a human adventurer seeking FAME and GLORY. Each human nation is vastly different from the rest, and other races are either uncommon or pests and threats.

It's sort of a necropost but this thread has always been an entertaining read so I regret nothing.

I was thinking of doing a quest starring some guy who lives in an urban legend apartment with all the things that go bump in the night. His room-mate happens to be the Slender Man, there's a Zalgo-worshipping cult downstairs that's always stealing the Cthulhu-worshipping cult's black robes and dying them pink, and it would have featured heavy cameos from a lot of sources.
Next door is a near-identical white tower with all of the good friendly things in it. There's occasional anger between them for the obvious reasons but the main enemy would have been some sinister external force I don't want to go into too much detail on because I may run with this idea again after TPD is over or something.

This was in a period where there was a dearth of /x/-related creepy shit going on, though, and I think Hawksbury and Rowan's new quest cover that ground nicely, so it's probably not going anywhere. Plus my art for it, now that I look, is fairly similar to TLE's for Hawksbury because I was going to go B&W. So whatever.

Here, have the title panel.

Business Quest! A CEO of a small corporation [performs a dark ritual to summon spirits/acquires a mysterious orb of good (ha!) fortune/have voices in his head because he's the main character] in order to become the dominant market force! How will we lead him astray?!

This quest would require a total of four things. The ability to write, the ability to draw, a basic understanding of economic principles, and the drive to update a quest. I have none of them. I'd love to see someone else tackle it, though.

(Also, I just realized this thread was made by Moonmaster. Now I'm sad. :( )

I also have many quest ideas, but no time to do them!

Probably my best one is the idea that you're a nautical monster hunter, whose dad was killed by The Leviathan, so you swear revenge and have to take on progressively bigger sea-creatures to get the chance to face down your mortal enemy.

I've got plenty of others as well, and I would probably do them if I knew I could finish them, but if I started one now, I would most certainly end up leaving it hanging somewhere in the middle. And I'm not going to do that.

I thought of doing a quest showing the Orb of Infinite Psyche's ultimate maker, too.

It was going to be Fëanor.

Basically the story would start with Fëanor, hanging around between worlds after he refused to res himself, making the orb from his own sheer willpower and then punching his way back into the real world, which is now of course modern earth. His goal, of course, would be to continue trying to get the Silmarils back, chiefly through use of elven GAR, while comedically coping with modern life and humans.

I got a good look for Feanor, I think, and a halfway decent elfy name for him to give the Orb - "Gondonomin", which is something like "Wisdom Stone". The first chapter would have been in first-person view, keeping the identity of the main character secret until the first silmaril is regained, whereupon he'd give the orb the ability to see in third person. Second silmaril, and he'd let it speak to anyone who touched it. Third, and he'd "loose its shape on all worlds" to be reborn throughout the cosmos and see the stories of the universe. End story. There'd have been an evil corporation which was actually run by balrogs, and various antics as he dived to the bottom of the ocean and went into space and such.

However, the problem is that Fëanor would essentially be uncontrollable - he'd do whatever he felt he had to do without heeding any dissent. That's how he was, what he was famous for really, and it wouldn't have worked, as a quest.

I liked this idea! Small business owner hiring quest species for stuff. Doing interviews, finding inventory sellers...

Another idea I had along these lines was political. You play a noble or a roman-style senator in some kind of cosmopolitan space empire, starting wars, bossing people around, allying with people you don't like to pass laws.

well i used to GM GURPS for a group of fanboys. my insistence on them remaining original led to interesting games where we spend 3 hours making a character to waste them in a world setting based on a movie or a TV series or whatever we liked in a original way. i had a liking for x-files, so all i actualy needed to do was recycle the villains and fit all plots together, the mystery kept them going even when i asked them to run common, normal humans.

i wanted to do this with code geass. forget lelouch, C.C., spinzaku, euphemia-sama, the trainwreck that CG R2 is. maybe let them on the background since certain things have to happen, maybe before or after the show. you are a undisclosed, unaligned character that just got the contract, and that power was, of course, the orb of infinite psyche.

What I find funny, or disturbing, is that I also had a variant of this idea; probably because of the whole thing of working in an office, plus an overdose of Dilbert.

My variant is a little more bizarre; its about a secretary / receptionist of a cubicle farm in a large corp. While trying to find out how to undo a bottleneck in his job, he notices something bizarre; all the information of the department passes trough him. He isn't a bottleneck as much as he's in control of the thing; and he who controls the information, in an information-based world...

From there things would be a sandbox, meet people, know people, do 'quests', faction wars, budget and credit stealing, cubicle farm crawling (that's the only real reason there IS a cubicle farm), and so on. Naturally, the moment he ceased to be a secretary -- the moment he ceased to be in control of the flow -- the quest would end. But why leave? Did he stole a better job for himself? Embezzled millions? Got fired? Death by red stapler?

I didn' went trough with it because, would be a long form quest (Dungeon Game already keeps me quite busy) and is a bit too much of a power trip, high chance of becoming a marysue.

I have a few ideas for Quests. The reason I will probably never realize them is because I suck. Seriously though I have some issues, and I'm not sure if running a Quest will solve them or make them worse. Anyone is free to use these ideas though partially or totally, with or without crediting me.

* TogetherQuest: a quest where you have to draw the next scene to get the next scene. Stick figures, ripoff art, whatever, long as it's drawn.

* SpriteQuest: a quest in the same way as sprite comics are comics. Horrible yet somehow alluring.

* PornQuest: blatant ripoff of RubyQuest except with sex as central theme. Oh the ideas I had for this quest, the horrible horrible ideas...

* OppositeQuest: a quest where the characters attempt specifically not to do anything the suggesters suggest. Suggesters would have to use clever reverse psychology to get the characters to do what they wanted them to.

* SuggestionQuest: a quest as un-railroaded as possible, attempting to make a solid and intriguing story while purely following the suggestions people post. A lot of these kinds of quest end up full of lolrandom and NORTHERN SERGAL, but I wondered if it was possible to make one that was actually quality.

I'd like to see more quests that didn't explicitly mention the ORB OF INFINITE PSYCHE. I'm probably forgetting some other ideas too.

No I mean like a sprite comic. Using sprites I didn't make myself, but maybe color swapped. A comic that is made with original sprites is just called 8-bit or pixellated. :>

The theme for SSQ wasn't sex so much... well let's just say I had some ideas. Plus a porn quest doesn't quite seem as ironic if done by the original author. Someone else needs to step in and take up the mantle for it to work best.

As for Don't, no. In that quest the character did exactly what people suggesting he do. That's nothing at all like OppositeQuest!

As for SuggestionQuest, yeah kind of like mspaintadventures. Andrew Hussie is my bishie.

As for MultiQuest, yeah neat! I didn't know that one. Kind of short. But I meant taking no suggestions that aren't accompanied by a drawing.

A quest about getting the superhero-obsessed main character who is 99% sure he's straight to hook up with a guy by convincing him that the guy is a villain and he needs to fake a relationship in order to save the world.

This is compromised by a guy who is doing the exact same thing, but thinks the MC is a hero who is going to compromise his plans.

I had an idea with Nevreans in the near future in a somewhat Ghost in the Shell setting. They're technologically advanced, but a infection is taking out a lot of their population. The main character more or less was going to discover some sort of conspiracy to transfer people's consciousnesses into machines and things.

The problems are I can't draw, and I'm a bit preoccupied with FANTASTIC right now.

I've got another idea, but I think that would work better as a platformer. Also, it's super seekrit.

Well wadaya know? I was going to fun a quest where most people DID transfer their minds to machines and it all went horribly wrong as machines don't produce chemicals that help to creates sensations, emotions and the like.
I didn't finish fleshing it out, but I think there was something about the Automatons wanting bodies back and trying to take them from people who had not transferred as yet.

Oh, but you did take time to form such a well crafted response. I'll remember you do that for no reason, for next time.

Another idea I had was a quest where the character can't tell the voices apart from their own thoughts. And YES I know it has been "done before" but what I would like to see is a quest along those lines, except the quest author doesn't try to keep people from fucking with the character's head by pretending to be them. Call it uh, HeadFuckQuest. I was kind of trying to do that with another quest, but I think the author's trying to go in a different direction than that.

Got two ideas, but art is not a thing that I do.

First is Weapon Quest. Starts with a sword o a black background, prompting for who the sword belonged to (in general, a great king or a thief or such), what it was called (for example, swiftblade), and why it is no longer in the hands of its previous owner (he gave up the sword, slain in the field of battle, etc.) The sword sits there for a hundred years or so, gains some fraction of a soul and self-awareness, and metaphysically meets EXCALUIBUR, GOD-KING OF WEAPONSOULS (who may or may not insist he be called that in all caps), who then offers the weapon a human avatar and powers which can be retained in both weapon and human form. (For example, swiftblade in her(because it's always a her) human forum would likely be agile, and as a sword allow her wielder to draw and strike quickly). She would be prompted to make a vow to do/not do something, of which breaking would result in her shattering (basically, death until she's reforged), and she would also be prompted for a vow she would force her wielder to uphold, or they'll be defeated in their next combat (because Excalibur said so, and you don't question gods.). Additional powers and such could be gained apart from the obvious, for example another of swiftblade's powers could be over lightning or electricity, due to being "fast as lightning" or somesuch.

Other idea I call metaquest. You're in control of a young "voice" (yeah, the ones every character hears in their head). However, at first it's only able to give a single word to whoever it's controlling, which will influence it for life; depending on how well the objective you gave it was completed, the young voice gains more power over those it controls and such. Lots of room for mindfuck with this one.

tldr: Be a magic sword or be a metaphorical baby anon.

No. 35188 ID: 653ea0

I have a few ideas, but my favourite is of a fantasy quest based on the 1400s. The titular character is a teenaged peasant girl with asymmetrical face. It would require a ton of research on real history, philosophy and religion. And a lot of worldbuilding. I'm very slowly working on it. Oh, and I'd have to learn how to use art software.
>>
No. 35196 ID: 54b969

Oh boy this thread is back. Let's see. Where do I begin. I can think of only one way to do this. IN SONG! Oh many the ideas- okay fuck no I'm not doing this.

Firstly, Abyss kind of counts as an idea I've had and will likely never realise fully. Fun fact: it's my only graveyarded quest as of posting. I have seen everything else to an end, however abrupt. (I expect that to change after posting this just because I'm certain this'd act as a reminder to the mods to do some cleanup.) I'd describe the idea, but it's pretty explanatory: >>/graveyard/243536

Well, pretty explanatory in that it's totally not explanatory at all. Weird shit, facility, done before blah blah no real point in returning to it because everything that can be done in a facility quest has been done.

There are innumerable ghosts of ideas that sometimes prompt me to create one-shots out of nowhere and to list those here would take forever, so I'll focus on the three main long-runner ideas here that I'm not allowed to start until I finish Resonance or Defective first. So don't hold your breath expecting to see any of these before 2014.

The first (and by far the most developed idea) has even had a title. "Four Days". Character washes up on a strange island with strange natives, and is unknowingly stuck in a four day time loop. Well, unknowingly up until the first time everything rewinds back to day one. There's a bunch of things planned that mean a smaller party size and also some difficult decisions to be made later on (which given tgchan's normal reaction to difficult decisions, I expect to get very little input on) and generally it's more well thought out than most of my quests tend to be. Especially Resonance. Oh my god is that convoluted as fuck now.

Another idea was about an alien protagonist (so a standard Cirr quest) living on a small colony world trying to control the entire colony world by herself without resorting to violence, only to get snarled up in interplanetary tensions that seems on the brink of collapsing into full out galactic war. Also the protagonist's main weapon/tool of choice is weird biotech. Probably not very interesting, really.

And the third idea I'd like to mention here involved a world predominantly populated by humans (shock horror) where non-humans have been a constant menace mostly vanquished to the edges of human civlisation, and the protagonist is a mighty and powerful wizard. Having helped the people of his nation to survive and prosper by doing his part in keeping them safe by vanquishing most of these non-human threats, he suddenly learns that other similarly powerful wizards have turned their forces to a new goal - world conquest.
The wizard protagonist (who you can tell I have no idea for a name for by virtue of calling him "the wizard protagonist") has no such desire for conquest and even less desire to see his people subjugated, and so must plan to protect his nation and eventually strike at these power-hungry megalomaniacs.
The wizard is kind of a pacifist and doesn't like calling and controlling sapient summons so much. Why? Well, long ago, he botched a summon and ended up practically creating a baby dragon out of the ether. He couldn't bring himself to dispose of it and so ended up raising it like a child. This makes this sudden turnabout of circumstances particularly troubling, as his own forces were volunteers from his nation with mostly dumb constructs, which have since mostly returned to their lives and dispersed respectively. So part of the challenge is simply in gaining any form of sizeable force to begin with.

Actually it sounds like I've put more thought into this third idea. No, that's an illusion. It's just fresher in my memory because it's the most recent one. Of course, now that I've listed out these ideas in such detail, I can't exactly run them, because now everyone knows everything and the entire basis of my quests tends to be withholding information.

Maybe if I can recall more I'll post an even BIGGER tl;dr text chunk.

Veriquest, a quest that plays to the style of Persona- a well written story with subplots taken at the character's discretion, with significant choices changing how the story goes. Along the way, the character discovers his ability to use his friendships/romances as power in the fight to arrive at the truth of the town he recently moved into. Featuring multiple districts, one of which is picked by the 'Orb' at the beginning while he contemplates things, it sets the tone of the story (romance, light comedy, dark comedy, played straight). It'll never get to fruition because I have no time to burn on it, and I can't do art, which basically aborts it in the idea womb. I do wish it'd gotten off the ground when I first made it, though. I had the idea of making a screen for it which upgraded and acted as something posted with each update- just an update on the character status, his current issues, a backlog of what he's responded to by post number... It was fun! But it never got off the ground due to poor writing and planning.

Anyone feel like I should take a step back and retry this with better planning? I don't think it's a good thing to nick ideas from games, especially Persona, but I did have a semi-interesting plot in mind. And Persona's grind-based gameplay is surprisingly easy to sugarcoat if you add interesting puzzles and less random encounters.

Oh hey, a quest idea thread!

DoorQuest: You are in a white cube, 3x3x3 meters in dimensions. There is a door north, south, east west, and one above you. There is a note at your feet, it reads: "TEST SUBJECT #32, you have been chosen for ENHANCEMENT, but in order to build an accurate psychological profile we have selectively mind-wiped you and placed you within this artificial maze in order to observe your natural personality without external prejudice. You are not being timed. You will not suffer from starvation or dehydration. You will not be monitored by cameras or other external equipment, as the nanites in your system will do that for us. Any attempt to escape the maze will be futile, and runs the risk of DEATH. any injury suffered within the maze will be undone upon your successful escape. Be swift, SUBJECT #32, ENHANCEMENT awaits the victorious. -Dr. D.H. Phd."
Progression: It's a maze, you find items in it, most are simple, some are advanced devices, some are magical, others are best avoided. There are traps and ways around them and across them. There are other living beings in the maze, that may or may not be love interests. There may or may not be a portal gun or companion cube, depends on if the suggesters keep insisting on it or not.
The arching plotline: ENHANCEMENT is a buzzword for politicians used to describe Project Dionysius, which made a person superhuman and immortal. The test subjects were to be brainwashed and checked for naturally psychotic behavior, to insure that they wouldn't be empowering subconscious psychopaths. When you get out, you choose to keep whatever name you made for yourself, as well as whatever nifties you found while in the maze. Any compatriots you gathered with you, is something to figure out later. No BBEG at the end, but it makes room for a second quest sequel possibility.

I made these character designs awhile back and although they're abstractions from what I originally made them (not through improvement, but because I sketched them in a long-lost notebook and failed pretty badly at remembering them) they're still something I wish I could do something with. They're supposed to be some sort of single-celled organisms

I had an idea once for a setting that took place in a medieval Japan style setting. You'd take on a modern day protagonist who basically wakes up in a field in the middle of nowhere dressed in simple period style clothes and armed with a simple katana, and honestly, no clue what the hell is going on. Throughout your journeys you'd encounter various historical figures. The plot would follow Nobunaga gathering minds that could produce things beyond the technology level of the setting, and using them as a means for conquest.

The players would obviously be able to sway the protagonist in various decisions, but primarily the choice would be in supporting Nobunaga's conquest or standing against it. The world would be a scenic wonderland, and it's people free to live simple lives, but the advancement of technology in this manner would threaten that, which is how the choice would be presented.

It'd have a few twists. The place has it's own brand of mysticism and magic, though it wouldn't be immediately accessible to the protagonist. The place itself would be one of the biggest mysteries. I had it planned that as you meet the various historical figures they'd give you their impression of exactly what it is. Most would think it's the afterlife, a heaven or hell of sorts, but the truth would eventually come out, it's a sort of limbo that a powerful mind created after it died, and maintained until other powerful minds were drawn into it.

The reasons this will never happen? I tried producing pictures in paint. I got maybe 8 done before I gave up on it. Drawing landscapes took time but I liked what I ended up with, but it took me hours to do the people and they still ended up looking like shit. Simply put, I lack the patience and talent to keep it going and interesting.

Soria Moria was an idea I had for a quest about the afterlife.
I was inspired to make a "everyone's in purgatory" story that wasn't bad by reading up on old mythological afterlives like Zoroastrian's bridge-crossing.

I wanted the whole thing to have an extremely melancholy feel to it, the whole time even through fight sequences or romance or character-bonding or exploring beautiful scenery there would be an air of something being off and shit. All because the characters would be dead. This would never be outright stated, but the whole journey would be their 'purgatory' and the end-goal is their heaven, or Soria Moria, inspired by the Norwegian Castle of myth, said to be a symbol for a place of perfect happiness.

Rather than the characters succeeding or failing in their mission however, they would be guided by the suggestors. If the quest participants fuck up they go to hell and it's all their fault.

I couldn't figure out a way to communicate what I had in mind though.

This picture I have of the island off the coast of where I live all shrouded in fog was a big inspiration.

I never got to starting this quest. I guess im lazy, or self conscious about my writing ability. All my ideas usually boil down to me fleshing out the basic plot and characters, drawing up a few concept arts, then bailing on it.

Dang, you really should run that quest. It looks super rad.
