If you've ever sat down to run a session only to realize your party is about to go off script you’re not alone. Side quests help fill gaps and give players choices, but coming up with interesting hooks on the fly is hard. That’s why we created our Quest Decks. When the adventuring party rolls into town I’ll pull three or four cards at random and nail them to the tavern wall. These cards become notice-board jobs that let my players grab a quick mission whenever they want - whether they need another level under their belt before the next big threat, want to buy time to investigate the main plot or just feel like a one-shot this week.
This style of play keeps the game flowing and makes sure everyone at the table knows there is always something to do. Players appreciate the freedom to choose what they are interested in, and as a Dungeon Master I don’t have to scramble for ideas when the group takes an unexpected turn.
Perfect for New or Low-Prep GMs
Quest Decks shine when used by new Dungeon Masters or anyone running a one-shot. Each deck contains 45 system-agnostic quest prompts phrased like help-wanted ads. Every card is designed to spark an adventure that can fit into any campaign world or stand alone as a short session. Whether you are filling out a sandbox setting or running a convention game, you can shuffle, draw, and instantly have a hook that pulls your players into the action.
Lots of Genres to Choose From
Our collection covers a wide range of genres so you can match the mood of your campaign. We have decks for classic fantasy, horror and mystery, pirates on the high seas, cyberpunk, urban adventures, lost ruins, and more. Each deck’s variety ensures you can always find something fresh, even if you use the cards regularly.
