Questgiver is a high fantasy, low stakes, comedy TTRPG inspired by the hit British TV game show Taskmaster, a game show where five comedians compete against each other for glory, created by Alex Horne.
In Taskmaster, challenges are called "tasks". Points are awarded on the whims of the Taskmaster unless the task specifically states the scoring criteria. As a result, hijinks and hilarity ensue as contestants vie for points.
Questgiver strives to replicate this spirit. Take a number of heroes (allegedly), ask them to complete challenges they haven't trained for, and watch the chaos. Players should be encouraged to lean into alternative readings or new interpretations.
Questgiver isn’t quite like other TTRPGs. It’s not a game of epic journeys, great victories and gleaming treasure. Instead, it’s more like a game show: prompt, answer, points. Add a dash of theatricality and a twist of embracing failure, and you have a strong recipe for comedic fun at the table.
