If only someone wanted to write these quests! Someone who knew the lore, liked giving players stories, knew what fair gold/xp rewards were, and wanted to write dialogue for these quests...
If I write an outline, can I submit to some approving authority prior to writing dialogue? I'd rather leave rewards to DM approval, but i will gladly write a conversation tree if someone who knows the toolset will build from there?

I was teasing Hera, who had specifically asked to do this a few days prior.
Certainly anyone who wants to can (and should!!) submit quest ideas under the
Quest Ideas/Suggestions forum, because we could absolutely use some more inspired quests; most are really just orientation material that players grind out weekly in lieu of more exciting things to do.

That is a whole lot of XP! if only there were some way to have so many options while capping the amount a PC can earn in a given week...

My thought was to have 100 unquie quests. but impossible for a single character to do them all. as some of them might not want to do.. like get brains for a mind flayer or commit a murder. while others might be pray to a gods shrine or donate to orphans.
though they be scattered all over the world. and conditions met for them to even trigger, and if you failed,, you really failed that was your only chance to do it ever on that character..
so you could see all 100 on multi characters but should be impossible on a single toon.

If I were this mindflayer I would have turned the whole city into my slaves. Where else can you get such a feast? Wererates, humans, halflings,...
