For this weekend question, we asked the PCG staff and forums about the self-imposed challenges they like to set in games.
. Making up your own rules or giving yourself personal challenges isn't just a fun way to play games, it's the best way to play games. I guarantee the quest you come up with will be better than any official quest the game gives you.
