Quest Giving: A Guide to Motivating People to Do Arbitrary Things

By Nathan Savant

Constructing a quest, whether it's for a video game, a fantasy novel, or an escape room, is a complex process that can be intimidating to approach and master. Whether this is your first time, or you're a seasoned professional, Quest Giving breaks down the process to its component pieces to rebuild your understanding of quest design from first principles. This book guides you through the process of dissecting quests, then equips you with the tools to recreate them on your own once you understand how they are built. By stripping down quests to their base components, this book allows its reader to reconstruct their own approach and style, giving them the tools required without imposing a workflow. This book will give you the tools you need to understand who a quest was built for, what skills are required to complete that quest, and how best to reconstruct that amazing adventure you read or experienced during your childhood.
