QUEST is a map-drawing RPG, based on the incredible DELVE by Anna Blackwell,
about exploring and re-discovering a ruined keep above and vast underground dungeon beneath it. You take control a party of adventurers exploring this abandoned keep, for fame, fortune, and a chance to discover the legendary Void Crystal.
QUEST is intended to focus on telling the story of a group of adventurers and the ruined keep they are exploring. Whenever the Party kicks open the next door, you’ll use a standard deck of cards to randomly determine what is found. Maybe ruined structures, and the treasures they hold, or lakes of lava, or nightmarish horrors more ancient than the keep. Once you find out what you’ve discovered, you'll draw it on your map as a record of your exploration, and write about it in an ongoing journal.
While QUEST is primarily designed to be a single-player experience like DELVE, there's no reason it can't be played with multiple players as well. The deck and map could pass from player to player, or each task: drawing cards, chronicling the adventure, and illustrating the map, could be done by different players.
This game can be played even without DELVE: A Solo Map Drawing Game. Huge thanks to Anna Blackwell for creating DELVE in the first place, and for creating an SRD and a game jam so that I can write create spin-offs for it.
