How to use Last Minute Quests
You are short on hours. The table is not. Here is how to pull a hook, a face, and a reason to start rolling before anyone asks whether you prepared a dungeon.
Browse the quest board
Everything lives on the home page, posted like a tavern notice board: cards you can pin, heart, and open when the party sits down faster than you expected. Filter by vibe, search for a monster, or open the archive if you want the whole ledger in a plain list.
None of this is a campaign planner. It is a corkboard. Take what you need for tonight and leave the rest.
- Categories — Combat, Mystery, Social, and the rest. Click a chip when you know the kind of night you want.
- Search — Matches titles and quest text. Try a creature, a town, or a terrible idea.
- Pagination — How many cards per page stays in the URL, so you can bookmark a view and come back after dinner.
- Favorites — Heart a quest that sparks. The Favorites control on the board shows just those, kept in this browser.
- Archive — All quests is the full ledger, with a page for each adventure.
Read a quest
Click a card for the write-up: a situation, a complication, and enough meat to start the scene. These are not modules with boxed text for every room. They are the thing you read in the kitchen while the pasta water boils, then carry to the table in your head.
Reskin the names. Move the town. Swap the monster for whatever your party already fears. The bones will hold.
Every quest also has its own URL, like /quest/your-quest-slug/, if you want a link the table can keep.
NPC generator
The NPC generator rolls a shopkeeper, a rival, a corpse with a name—or just a handful of names when that is all you need. Full characters come with D&D 5e and Daggerheart stats, folded under Base stats so you can read the person first.
Heart anything you might actually use. Favorites stays in this browser, not a cloud account, which is another way of saying: treat them like scribbles in the margin. They will be there next session unless you clear the site's data.
NPC of the Day
A new walk-on each day on the home page and the NPC generator, complete with the same base stats as a generated NPC. Drop them in a doorway. Give them the party's missing piece. Make them the person who will not stop talking about pigeons.
If the face is missing, try turning JavaScript on. The daily NPC is rolled at build time so the whole table sees the same stranger.
Display and accessibility
- The sun and moon in the header switch light or dark. That choice stays on this device, like a lantern you leave by the door.
- Skip to main content at the top of each page jumps past the nav.
Feedback
A missing comma, a hook that sang, a generator that handed you a legend, a night that went sideways in the best way? Send feedback. The board gets better when the table talks back.
