Random Quest Reward Generator

What this generator does

Supplies what the party gets, which is a separate decision from what they had to do. The quest generator handles the task; this handles whether it was worth it.

What it builds, and how many ways

Each result is assembled to this shape: [reward] — one of 2 sentence patterns this generator uses.

• reward: 16 options
• catch: 8 options

Taken together those banks can be assembled 144 different ways, repeating after about 15.

Some results it can produce:

• a favour owed by someone powerful
• a name that opens one particular door, and accepting it ends a friendship
• the loyalty of a person nobody else trusts
• the right to ask one more question later, and accepting it ends a friendship

A fixed sample so this page stays the same between visits. Your own results are assembled at random, each slot filled independently and each press independent of the last, so the same result can come up twice — past the repeat figure above, seeing one twice is more likely than not.

How to use this tool

1. Press generate for a random quest reward.
2. Generate again for a different one.

Common use cases

• Rounding out a tabletop RPG quest
• Game-master inspiration for non-monetary rewards
• Writing prompts

Practical tips

• A reward that creates a new problem is more interesting than gold — a title with obligations, or a property that needs defending.
• Check the reward against what the party already has; an item they cannot use is a disappointment rather than a prize.
