Questionable Questing

daimahou

Yes! Ideas! I have them!

But what why when how?

d.fish

I want to make quest. I don't know what to make quest about.

daimahou

*looks at Xicree 's profile*

Maybe "Aegwynn quest"? ... or journey to the west meets warcraft (with trolls ofc)?

hmmm, maybe Disney? Most medieval looking movies could take place around the same time... Princesses are disappearing from the kingdoms and the parents, that's silly most of them don't have those, the regents put a bounty out to find out what happened to them/save them?

daimahou

With a careless wish (to a genie?) the PC and friends are isekaied to a setting that they asked for but the wishgranter put it on insane difficulty?

daimahou

A faction from Nier: automata tries opening a gate to the multiverse and it goes too well?

d.fish

No offense to Xicree, but I dislike trolls from warcraft as an aggregated concept. I've thought about doing Aegwynn Quests, but I think there's so little known about her and her time period that I can only make similar concept quests of "Young Girl Endowed with Great Power". Not sure on the specifics of that, because I seem to have done that too much.

d.fish

Disney is great, but with Kingdom Hearts exploring Disney settings like so, I feel rather inadequate. Also, I don't know, it's kind of hard to come up with a concept that works with Disney since there's so many choices of settings within Disney as a mega-setting.

d.fish

Sadly, never Neir'd in my life.

daimahou

hmmmm...

Survival horror? PC wakes up in a mansion after falling asleep at home... Every time he falls asleep that is. With the damage appearing on his "real self" albeit smaller... Dying means they become a monster in their house?

Or maybe a mystery murder quest?

daimahou

Original setting where the humans have settled a place after fighting the native elves? PC decides whether to ignite the war again or find different flavours of peace...

daimahou

*thinks of Gintama* Aliens invade and conquer the planet in the year 1XXX and the PC as part of the resistance wants to destroy them?

d.fish

I don't know the first thing about survival horror. Seems like a thing I should study a little, but probably not for a quest. Same for murder mystery... not that I couldn't or aren't interested, but not as a quest, I guess. Maybe as a story, but I just want to run a quest right now.

d.fish

Yeah, I'm not so sure I want to make completely new settings. I might have a "this existing setting, but only broad strokes so I can have custom worldbuilding", but I don't think I want to make something from the ground up. I just don't have the time for it.

daimahou

Well, it would be something similar to "+C: Sword and Cornett", IIRC.

daimahou

Magic is real and the law enforcement is not prepared for the crimes people commit with it. PC has to pull of heists before the police becomes better equiped to deal with them.

d.fish

I don't know what that is though

daimahou

Ancient being wakes up and makes PC a servant to them, either go full monster or kill the master.
Or, since the ancient being is pretty much done with being the monster, serve them and reap the benefits?

daimahou

Yeah, it's a bit obscure manga (humans from across the sea [and dangerous waterfalls] came to the elves' lands and settled there, a few hundred(?) years later a prince starts to want peace with them but is killed and another prince starts to investigate)

d.fish

That sounds like basically an original setting if presented as a quest.
