Reincarnated as the Goblin King!
A lighter quest in which a normal person from Earth meets Truck-kun and winds up dressed like David Bowie leading a horde of feral fairy-tale goblins that look suspiciously like they were designed by Brian Froud. Explore the world, have fun as the Goblin King, learn how all this works (probably the hard way) and try not to die. Major opposition includes adventurers, your own idiot goblins, other monsters, your own idiot goblins, other fairy lords, and of course your own idiot goblins.
Goblin mayhem is ALSO decided by quest vote most of the time, generating both chaos and opportunities. You also vote on the details when creating new goblins, and how to resolve the crises your goblins (or outside events) create.

Victoria's Sorrow: A Post Victoria: A Novel of 4th Generation War Plan quest
Warning Ultra Villain Protagonist
Essentially working off the excellent Victoria Falls quest, this would place you in charge of the newly christened Victoria after the death of "the Rumford" by unknown means, you a clique of "reformist" military officers have taken over the country. Your character a relative junior officer has been placed as the quarter master general(think defacto minister for economics with all the exceptations and none of the authority) of Victoria. You must balance your characters desire for political reform, your colonial master Russia, your increasingly hostile neighbors, undoing the generational trauma of "retro culture", and global warming.
Your character will not be a good person, you will not serve a good cause fundamentally this about playing a villain protagonist. Their is no redemption at the end of the tunnel. However do to both thematic and practical reasons things can improve with great efforts and great sorrow's.
(I refuse to write or tolerate fascist apologia so I will strictly limit omakes.)
I am already re thinking this
Perhaps a post military junta America instead similar premise but less baggage
I am going for flawed people doing things in a flawed world but one based on improvement and mistakes not mindless far right idolization

Sounds fun. I always wanted to run a nation into the ground in one of these plan quests.
A magical girl mascot quest, where you, a magical girl mascot, recruits magical girls to defend the city you reside at. You select the theme, what you look like, the number of girls, the enemies. There is also a base builder aspect, which will help the girls in a lot of ways.

Okay, so I just closed the vote on my poll and the winner is Destiny (16 votes), with Transformers, Resistance and Halo coming in a tie for second place (14 votes each).
I guess in theory I could include the three with the quest.
The Chimera could easily have been dormant beneath the Earth and begin to wake after the Collapse. Looking over the available background of their source canon, the Chimera easily fit the lore of being a Darkness using species.
Halo, well it and Destiny belong to the same 'multiverse'; and lord knows the amount of ways into other dimensions are possible in Destiny (from the Vex, Ascendant Realm, the Star Horse to even the space station Cocytus)
Transformers, could be native or from another dimension.
Guess will see if I start up the quest and see the voters opinions.

Love this plan. I'd also add that you get to make decisions about strategy as knowledgeable one about the setting. Choices determine if you're the beleaguered babysitty of Usagi or the Alfred of Minako
Major challenges include that each theme and backstory has at least one Dark Secret that you have to manage for your team. Possibly more than one. If this were Sailor Moon it would be things like the fall of the Moon Kingdom and their previous horrible deaths, plus Mina's cursed destiny to always kill her love. If this were Buffy it would be her destiny to die at the end of season 1. That kind of thing.
