Silly/funny reasons someone might decide to become an adventurer.

-Boasted a little too loudly about made-up feats of valor, now magically compelled to constantly seek adventure until they live up to the hype or die trying.

-Keener freshman bard heard his/her advisor has a soft spot of autobiographical adventures, this is totally going to get them an A!

-Actually a cat magically transformed into human, seeks method of returning to original, superior form

-Come from a long line of legendary warriors, eventually caved in to parental nagging, would really rather be a hairdresser.

-Has some truly impressive gambling debts to repay.

-Convinced this will totally convince their ex they should get back together despite the many, many reasons they broke it off.

-Trying to win a drunken bet.

-Friends with one or more of the other idiots, just trying to keep them in one piece.

I see what you did there. :smallwink:

Much more obscure one (but all the same single work):

- An opium addict normally BLITZED OUT OF YOUR MIND, you're not aware you've sobered up yet and assume the shoggoth is just, y'know, one of those things that happen when you're high. :smallcool:
- Revenge on the stupid English! Campaign world has no England? REVENGE HARDER! :smallfurious:
- The stable time loop insists that you already were an adventurer. :smallfrown:
- Sinister mind control has forced you to be an adventurer. Every morning, make a will save to escape and write poetry instead. :smalltongue:

Let's see how many spouse-related ideas we can come up with....

Your spouse:
- is the new BEG in town.
- rolled a rather bizarre roll on the "love dice" they bought from a traveling salesman.
- confessed to being you from the future.
- revealed him/her/itself to actually be the evil twin of who you thought you married
- is dying of a mysterious illness
- is dying of a non-mysterious illness
- already died
- is aging backwards
- turned out to be a dragon
- went out for a gallon of milk and never returned
- turned out to be a spy for an enemy kingdom
- turned out to be the leader of the local Thieves' Guild
- wants you to get in shape
- has extremely expensive tastes in fashion
- doesn't remember marrying you
- thinks you murdered his/her brother/sister/the king
- thinks you are the new BEG in town
- has more than one spouse
- isn't your only spouse
- is pregnant. Which is quite odd, given your respective genders.
- wants you to become celestial
- is manifesting magic powers without the ability to control them
- was the victim of an attack in a nearby town
- is from a parallel universe (and cannot meet twin from this universe?)
- needs material components to make the ultimate spice garden
- is a deity in disguise/disgrace/hiding
- suddenly started speaking only Orc
- turned out to be substantially younger than you thought he/she would be
- was a mail-order bride/groom and told you stories of unspeakable horrors in the country he/she came from
- was a mail-order bride/groom with criminal intent
- is blackmailing you
- is a nag
- went adventuring first
- was an adventurer before marrying you; suggested you try it
- had an unusual request for what should be done with his/her ashes
- was formerly a different species
- accidentally gave you his/her bucket list instead of shopping list

Maybe I'd better stop before I start damaging reality....

-You're a photographer and realised that underground dungeons often have the most beautiful of scenery...
-You're out for revenge against a specific race or group- and an amnesiac. After killing a dozen of them as revenge for the death of your friends... you forget, and decide to kill ANOTHER dozen.
-You're a biologist and want an excuse to study the internal anatomy of exotic species. Especially sentient ones.
-You're the mayor and your popularity in the polls seems to drop every time your citizens are slaughtered by an angry bugbear (I have a player who is basically using this, actually)
-You're a human with Dwarfism, who is too embarassed to admit he isn't actually a wandering Dwarven adventurer.
-You picked up the magical macguffin, sold it to the adventuring party and then found out what it was worth later and that you got ripped off and set out to get it back (Or more money. Either way works)

This train is the best metaphor for player characters, ever. Following the rails? That is what a stupid train does!

^ This is so true it's not even funny. (Oh wait, yes it is. It's hilarious.) :smallbiggrin:

Reasons for Adventuring:

- You want your teeth back.
- You're running from the guy whose teeth you punched out and then stole.
- You're running from the DRAGON whose teeth you stole.

- You want nothing to do with any prophecies about saving the world, and so are doing everything in your power to avoid becoming part of one. (Seriously, those things are a dime a dozen now)

- Your sword is demanding to be oiled with the blubber of a whale.

- You want to see mountains again, mountains!
- You're researching an anthropology thesis on the habits of the common adventuring party.
- You're an embedded reporter, charged with reporting back all the party's mighty deeds.
- You're an undercover cop, charged with reporting back all the party's evil deeds.

Sent to prison by a military court for a crime you didn't commit; escaped from a maximum-security stockade to the Los Angeles underground.
Afflicted with severe case of a playercharactritis; symptoms include delusions of grandeur, acute kleptomania, and obsessive hoarding of weapons, equipment, and potions.
Bought this stupid sword anyway, figured you'd try to get some use out of it.
Dungeon crawling currently a trendy fitness routine.
Previous full-time adventurers levelled up, became disinterested in you peasants and your low-CR crises.
College of the Arcane looking for strong extracurricular involvement on applications nowadays.
Discovered earlier that princess was in another castle.
Not much work in town after the last adventuring party burned down the whole forest while fighting a dragon.
Decided that since you're already killing giant spiders with a sword, might as well go ahead and introduce yourself as an adventurer rather than an exterminator.
President kidnapped by ninjas; suspected you were a bad enough dude to rescue the President.

From my current adventuring group:

- because you want to marry the princess, and her father the King isn't going to give you his blessing unless you become rich, famous and/or powerful (the paladin)
- because your father disapproves of your life choices, so you are going to be the best there ever was! That'll show him (the monk)
- because after four hundred years of being unhappily married, you just need a break from your nagging wife (the elf ranger)
- because in order to finish your doctoral dissertation at the Mage College, you need to do some field work (the wizard)
- because you are the second son of a nobleman, and your brother exiled you for being too competent and threatening his inheritance (the cleric)
- because a bunch of heavily-armed maniacs picked a fight with some orcs who were raiding your caravan, and basically swept you up into following them over your objections (the rogue)

He has recruited hundreds of agents to travel the omniverse collecting DNA samples to add as many sentient species to his Data banks as possible. You and five others are one such group of agents, and you've been given omnitrices to aid in your mission.

You bought the adventure route from a guy who was retiring. You bought the two year schedule of towns to visit. And the maps of the giant ant nests and the kobold tunnels. And the extra secret map of the queen ant room and queen kobold room saying Do Not Kill. So after two years the giant ants and kobolds have had enough babies and the towns will have to hire you again.

You kept putting off that trip around the world until next year. Then the fortune guaranteed that you will die this year. And you will not wait to die behind a desk, filling out Form 20B over and over.

He went one way and you went the other. Both of you have a story to tell. The stories are opposites. You are going to find out once and for all which travels quicker, truth or lies.

You were roped into going on adventures by surly bar patrons due to a case of mistaken identity. You are still too embarrassed to correct them. That was 12 years ago.

Being slowly devoured inside of an acidic ooze monsters still sounds better than marrying Ugly Peggy from your home town.

You have quit adventuring 83 times already but your archnemesis, the party bard, knows the spell Glibness and you fall for it every time.

You are the child of prophecy who is prophecied to one day take down the Demilich Overlord of your homeland. Adventuring on other planes of existence instead just sounded safer.

An enemy wizard once broke through your will and mind-controlled you into becoming an adventurer. The wizard also forced you to pay others to recast the spell on you so that your quest would never end. You have been quietly hoping an enemy will properly hit you with a Dispel Magic spell for years now.

Bards are such popular support members lately that adventurers will kidnap them to help out with quests. Additionally, it appears that most adventurers do not understand that not all tavern entertainers possess magical powers.

Your uncle is a mobster and this seemed like a good way to launder money at the time.

You want to be the world's first doctor for monsters, but you need to know how their insides work first.

You went into necromancy at the age of 13 because you thought it sounded cool. Later you realized that being a necromancer adventurer is alright with the populace but being a necromancer non-adventurer is punishable by death.

After a spell went wrong, active adventurers are the only people who can see you and you can't handle the lonliness any longer.

No one seems to realize that you aren't a murderhobo and are just a normal hobo.

* Storms are raging, seas are rising, giant cats are running amok, you've met a hot chick with awesome spells/hot guy with cool swords, and the world's probably ending. What else are you going to do?

* You like swords/spells. Many things don't like you. There's fighting, and a Super Saiyan Zombie who has been caught by a Pokémon. The world might be ending. Something like that, but it's going to be Epic.
** You were brutally murdered in a fighting tournament, but got better. It's time for revenge.

* The world is in a terrible state and you've made it your duty to fix it.
** Some guy is destroying the world in the name of fixing it and you're going to stop him.
*** You were defeated by murderhobos and they've made you their cute mascot, willingly or not.

* You decided to poke a sealed demon to see what would happen. It didn't turn out very well.
** You're trying to atone for your past sins... this might not be the best way to do so, but it's definitely fun.

* Your kleptomaniac tendencies have caught up with you and now you have to retrieve an artefact that everybody thinks you stole, and they won't believe that it wasn't you this time.
** Murderhobos have the attention spans of caffinated gnats: sending them on a retrival quest with no personal stakes is an exercise in futility, so somebody has to keep them on track. Congratulations on your new job!

- You bought a wayward caravan dowsing rod, and now seek to make a return on your investment.

- You'e actually a play wright and will be producing a piece on your adventures.

- You desire to find the world's GREATEST CUP OF COFFEE (tm).

- Cheaper than college.

- Went to the store to buy milk, but the store only possessed polearms.

- Your cape kept billowing dramatically in the breeze, and you figured that if you had a thing going you might as well take advantage of it.

- Waiting for the statute of limitations to run out in your home town.

- "Adventuring" is too cliché. You think of yourself more as a vagabond dungeon-delver for hire, and you were into killing goblins before it was cool. Also, all of your armor and weapons are bronze, which is a way more retro material than that steel everyone is using.

- Parents demanded you get a job.

- Discovered it's more fun to curse in Draconic, now attempting to find all draconic curse words.

- Banned from entering any town within three hundred miles after the noodle incident.

- Desire to understand why we can't have nice things.

- Not actually a wziard, just think the staves are cool looking.

- General desire to improve hearing and sight as you get older instead of visa versa

- Compensating.

- Just in it to watch spells go off.

-You heard that Abyssal parties vrock, but the dancing will ruin you. You'll need to become a real party demon if you want to survive your invite.

* The Inevitable charged with hunting down those responsible for excessive punning has you marked for death, but Olidammara managed to stick an adventurer's exception into the interplanar anti-punning-proliferation treaties.

- The house kicked you out of itself.

Your house is currently chasing you and you need to get stronger to fight it off.

Your house is currently chasing you and you need to get stronger to fight it off.

While you were gone to market one day, a Hermit Elephant stole your house to use as a shell, and now you have to track it down.

You're a hag. some jackass murdered your house and roasted up it's giant chicken legs to feed to his dragon friend. Hunt down and kill the bastard and his dragon, then gather up enough money to buy a new house.
