Unique Quest Ideas
#1So most quests follow one of three common themes;
1. Seek and Destroy- go out and kill something, slay the Dragon, throw the one ring into a volcano
2. Search and Rescue- go out and get something and bring it back, save the princess from the Dragon, find the gold idol in the trapped temple
3. Courier- take this basket of goodies to grandma's house, help this person get to some other person (almost a variation of Search and Rescue)
All of these basically revolve around finding things, killing them, and taking their stuff.
Can anyone think of any other Quest tropes?
Thanks!

#3Negotiation. Convince someone or someones to do something. Could be as epic as a treaty between kings, or as minor as the dowry for a village marriage. To avoid the "solve the problem by killing things" pitfall, make violence a clear lose-lose solution.
