Enhance your TTRPG sessions with these ready-to-use handouts.
There’s nothing quite like the visual appeal of props to help bring your game to life. Whether it be a map, drawing, printed note, or even something more elaborate, the serve to deepen the immersion and bring your vision to life. That’s why I have created this set of quest cards, all of which were designed to help grab your player’s attention and kick-start their adventure.
Why Use Handouts?
Handouts do more than just provide information – they create immersion and give players something tangible to interact with. Instead of simply telling your players that a town is in danger or a noble is hiring mercenaries, you can show them with a weathered bounty poster or a frantic letter pleading for help.
These quest cards were created to do just that. Imagine your players find themselves in a new town, unsure of where to go next or what to do now that they are here. A bulletin board catches their eye, and as they approach these notices are posted. The impact of handing over a physical copy of the notice is sure to make them more invested and eager to learn more.
What’s Included?
In this pack, I have prepared five posters introducing quest hooks. Each poster has been created in a digital format for games that take place online as well as a print friendly version that can be enhanced with a little creativity.
Brinecaller’s Bay
This poster contains on ominous message of danger and mystery in a town called Verdwyn. Set in the Aeltharis campaign setting by Campfire Games, Verdwyn is a small coastal village with a seemingly big problem.
Perhaps our players are ready to make a name for themselves and face the dangers that await?
Blackthorn Brigands
This seek-and-find quest hook will take the party out of the dungeon and into service of the town guard as officers of the law. Tasked with delivering justice to a band of mercenaries, it will be up to them how they proceed and what justice is dealt.
Security Detail
Those pesky bandits are at it again…
This classic trope is perfect for addition in a low-level campaign as extra content or a way to stage twist leading to a larger story. If you’d like to learn more about Emberthrone where this is set, a map and city breakdown are also available.
Kincaide’s Farmstead
A hardworking family farm needs your help! What seems at first to be the work of bandits may end up being something much worse. Details of Kincaide’s Farmstead, including a map, NPCs, and additional quest hooks are available to enhance this notice.
Birds of a Feather
This hook advertises a short quest that finds the players helping out conservation efforts to save the Giant Eagle. A full quest outline including maps and details is also available for easy addition to your game.
Armed with these props, you are now all set to craft a new and memorable experience for your players.
