Generating Quests for Outlands

This is the closest thing to a Monster Manual you’ll get from Better Games. And, it isn’t much of that. Rolling combat over and over to kill larger and larger monsters is a fine way to game. But there’s so much more that should be happening between those dice rolls.

This is an update of Designing Fantasy Scenarios published an ice age ago. The premise is very much the same, yet the material has been written with Chronicles of the Outlands in mind. A Tarot Deck is used to generate the patron, his mission, his motive (intent, but also now the campaign consequences); some things you don’t tell the players, some things you do. It’s a good system and can be used for both solitaire role-play and with the Ref playing his character along with the group. I certainly do.

The quests generate without much setup. The Ref must supply the personal touch to blend the card narratives together. But after a few test cases as a beginner, any Referee will soon be developing the most elaborate and splendidly original topics for adventure. “It will seem like magic.”

Can the quest generation be used in your other favorite rpg? Of course, you’ll find several hundred pages of fresh ideas. But also, should I ever play with any of you, stop using bad movie troupes!

Your stories should be better than that, better than predictable, better than what you’ve played in modules for your other favorite rpg.

This booklet will function in any campaign of High Fantasy. Buy this and buy the Fundamentals booklet, called Chronicles of the Outlands. You all should be playing Outlands at least once, and you’ll be the better gamer from the experience. Ask anyone who has tried free-style play if they would ever game any other way? Really, just a few bucks to achieve enlightenment.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
