To create a quest you must do two things: write an introduction and design the dungeon.

In the introduction, describe to the Heroes why they are undertaking this quest: to find a treasure, rescue a damsel, defeat an evil warlock, etc.

When designing the dungeon, think about how you want the Heroes to move through it, what they will encounter and how difficult it will be. If your evil warlock requires a special artifact to be defeated make sure you include that in the dungeon.

You may want to create a unique character the Heroes must defeat at the end of the quest. Remember these characters can also use Chaos Spells.

Once you have made these decisions you can start creating the quest pages needed to allow others to play.

Setup[]

Quest page
This is where Heroes will shart your adventure. It should contain an introduction and any notes needed, such as the wandering monster, difficulty level, if it is part of a series or requires an artifact collected in another quest to complete. Also link to the first room for the Heroes to start in.{{Quest intro}} can help you get started.
Room and corridor pages
For information on how to setup a map of a room or corridor, see Guide:Rooms and corridors.
Next, create a set of room and corridor pages for explored areas. You will also need to make a set for searched treasure, searched traps and searched secret doors. If you plan on having a monster that can cast the "Escape" spell, you will need to make a set for that as well. You should also provide coordinates for players to transfer the information to their map. You can use {{Quest room}} to setup each page.
Map Square pages
Last, create pages for each square on the board and link your room and corridor pages to them. They should be named the same coordinates as the {{Game board}}. These pages allow you to indicate if a Hero has sprung an unsearched trap or where a Hero is when he uses the "Pass Through Rock" spell. If you choose to have any traps sprung by movement in your quest you must do every unoccupied square, otherwise the player will know where a trap is. Pages that do not have a trap can be redirected back to their room or corridor page. Squares with traps should have a message, link to the required combat dice roll page and provide map coordinates for players to copy to their map. Pit trap pages should also include the {{Room actions}} template.

Sharing your creation[]

To share your dungeo, append {{Created by|<user name>}} to the end of the quest intro page and add it to Category:Quests. You can see who has played your quest by clicking on "What links here".

If your quest isn't ready to be played, add {{Under development}} to the intro page.

You can add the {{Quest designer}} userbox to your user page.

Tips[]

Redirect to this page to remind the player that they cannot searchfor treasure in a corridor.
Link to a spell on this page when indicating that a Monster can use a Chaos Spell.
  • __HIDDENCAT__
Add this code to a category to hide it. This allows you (the creator) to place all the pages of your quest in a category but hide it from the player.
