Okay, as you probably know (or not) I'm making Dink and the Hero Unemployment Board 2. It will have ten small quests inside, and I already made up four of the stories... But now I'm stuck with thinking of quest backgrounds!

So, could you DNers tell me some quests which would take up 10 - 20 minutes to play?

Right now, there are three towns, one has a mine too, and the first town has a forest to the north and south. There is also a mountain.

Thanks for the inspiration if you can think up a good quest story!

No one? Okay, then I'll have to make up some more myself...

Friendship is magic 
you could make quests about: Someone who has lost a special item in the forrest or someone stuck in the mine who you have to save or something about stange creatures comming from the mountain. If you want any more quests or whant them to be more detailed just ask I think I can come up with some better ones.

P.S. It would of course be better if you make them up your self or send some more info.

The forest thing and the mine thing are the stories I already had.
The monsters thing might be good, though, and it fits the game well because there had been an earthquake near the mountains.

But I think you're right; I'm gonna make them up myself, that's best anyway.

Any fool can use a computer. Many do. 
You can create minor subquest by using standard RPG quests (get-item, deliver-item, talk-to-person, kill-monster, save-person(aka kill-monster + talk-to-person)) and then substitute item/monster with any random object that you can pick-up and any random monster, depending on the level of the player at that time

Chop your own wood, and it will warm you twice. 
Dink gets poisoned and he must find a cure.

Hm, actually the game is like this: Dink receives his quests at the Hero Unemployment board. For example, he has to go exterminate a plague at a farm, or go look for a lost pet. He can then talk to people to gain more information about the specifically chosen quest.

If I want to add in a quest like finding a cure, then there must be someone else having the illness... Hey, I just got a new idea!
