A bit late, but still...




Linked quests are nice. Let each take place a week after the last. This is just an idea, but in general it is nice when the actions of the players in a quest influence the world a bit.

(1). Create a tournament, in which you can win a marriage to the princess. Just before the end of the tournament the princess leaves for the toilet and is not seen again.

(2) Let the king declare an enormous price for who finds the princess. At the end of the search, the princess is found, but she refuses to come. The quest can be won by abducting the princess or by telling her message to the king.

(3) The king has imprisoned the princess, but the people like the princess a lot more. So the people revolt against the king.
Let the players either fight for the side of the people or at the side of the king. Maybe make it possible to free the princess, and return her to her people.

(4) After the revolution either failed or succeeded, (Either the king is ruler, or the princess has become queen.) the country is still in a lot of problems.
A lot of merchants have been killed in the battles. Children are hungry, food has been stolen. Bandits are approaching from all sides.
Depending on the actions of the players the city becomes stronger. So at the start nothing can be bought, but at the end it is possible that the city contains cheaper/stronger goods than before.

(5) As a result of the weakening of the country an invincible dragon decides to nest.
Give hints to the player that the dragon is very/very strong and everyone on the route tells them not to go, since all have been killed... Build up tension... And make the dragon actually invincible. Kill all who meet him head to head.
But create an alternative route which can be found by looking carefully at the descriptions. You can find a secret passage, where you learn a secret about the dragon, which you can use to blackmail him to go away.

(6) The dragon is gone, but some of its children are seen flying around in the sky, burning parts of the city.
Kill the young dragons before they become too strong... Honor the person who comes back with the most dragon heads and give him a special item, such as a mug of unlimited beer.

And so on...
