I think there are a lot of places I could have done better, but I'm glad that I'm actually doing it, because there are many times I've wanted to do things like this, and just given up at the last moment.
So thanks for everyone who's participated and I'm sorry if its not the greatest.

Find mechanics you like, tweak them as you like, and get some criticism on them. Mechanics are weird.

Premade, but give the players some choices like to the race, sex, GENERAL appearance(so if you want this character to have piercings, do it but don't let the players spend one thread deciding whether their taint or ballsack gets pierced), general abilities, etc.

Do it.
>>
>>25636323
JUST
>>
>>25636288
Make it simple. Personally, the only thing deciding outcomes in my quest is a basic stat system and a d20.
More than half the time, I don't even use it.

Pre-made is usually better, but there's nothing wrong with letting the thread decide.

Learn from watching and analyzing successful quests.
Other than that, just try, learn as you go.
If it bombs, you can always try again with a different trip.

Alright I've got some legitimate questions today.
In my current CYOA I've been talking a lot more time at the front end of the quest to set up the main character and setting before having the world actively try to kill them. Something I've noticed is that the players have been completely ignoring the prompt to instead only ask questions about the status of the MC's life or the one side character that doesn't apply yet in the story. What I've been doing in those cases is have the MC stall for a bit and give a little internal monologue on the subject before representing the original prompt.
Should I be worried about this? Does this mean I'm doing things wrong or handling things wrong?
>>
Alchemy continues >>25636787
Also streaming again. https://picarto.tv/HappyHorseAdventures
>>
>>25636766
Dude, this is the opposite of a problem.

If your players are interested in the main character enough to want a tangent, let them continue along that line. Answer their questions, flush out your characters.

I actually wish people would do this more in quests, because having strong, well-developed characters is never a bad thing.
>>
>>25636766

Which quest?

But as far as the question, yeah, what >>25636799 said. That is definitely not a bad thing. The players being interested in that kind of stuff can be fun, really; if can move the story along somehow doing that, even better.
>>
>>25636766
>My characters are too interesting i just want naked prompts
You don't even see how you are blessed. Tell your plot to fuck off for a bit and let your players play.

>>25636850
it's bathwater again I bet.
>>
>>25636766
>>25636799
If you really want them to be a bit more focused, give them a very strong prompt. As in, make your character in the process of doing the thing you want them to do. It worked in Northern Excursion, Bank Robber, Hijack, etc.

I like how it seems like Coltshan is now ignoring the actions players suggest and showing results of rolls that mean nothing to us.
>>
>>25637898
There's a reason he gets a lot of flak.
>>
>>25637898
Can you link me his thread? As a QM it behooves me examine the intense shittiness so I know what not to do.
>>
>>25637917
>>25635810
>>
>>25637898
I think he tried to make some mechanic where the players are only little voices that get to push Hugh Mahn in favor of or against an action.

So if my guess is right, in >>25637536 there was a 50/50 to help the whatever, and the people get to vote either way.
So because some dude voted 'don't do it,' there was a -some number to the d100 roll, but there was a +15 modifier for whatever reason.
I guess in Coltshan's new disaster, you don't get to play the character, you just get to be a very minor influence in what they do.
>>
>people want to help Coltshan
In all honesty, his continuous failure makes my day every time, and I don't regret it.
>>
>>25637996
ColtShan is becoming like George Costanza for me. He doing mind numbingly dumb things, and you want to stop him before it blows up in his face, but you can't because he can't hear you. So all I can do is watch the train wreak, and it hurts a little bit.

So here's how this trap works.

You'd think they would notice the box, but the scent and sight of mango is so overwhelming, they can't help but fall victim.

The box falls on their head, and they're immediately plunged into darkness, confusing and disorienting the bat.
Then the bat tries to use its echolocation, but all the sound waves are absorbed by the box's material.

I can't understand why he doesn't listen to people trying to help.

You need players to run a CYOA, and quality brings players, but when players offer advice for improvement, he just ignores them.

Quick announcement: Due to circumstances beyond my control, I can't run Threshold tomorrow or Friday. I apologize for the inconvenience.

In the meantime, I've been working on those updated Threshold files; I hope to have at least a couple of new ones done by Saturday.

Also, it looks like the last two strawpolls aren't getting any more votes, so here's the last one for now:

Quoted from the archives:

Friendship is Tragic: You're a pony who has yet to discover the joys of harmony and the magic of friendship, so Celestia has given you an ultimatum: You have one week to make a friend, or you'll be banished from Equestria. Sounds easy enough, right? Too bad that you hate every pony...

Colossus: One the night of a particularly spectacular meteor shower, a bright-eyed young pony meets a gentle giant from beyond the stars. Can the young pony keep this incredible creature a secret and help it find a way home, or is this unlikely alliance doomed to be uncovered by the Royal Guard, or worse still, the lad's parents?!

Pony's Island: Dragons and ponies don't usually get along very well. But when disaster strikes and sends a newborn wyrm plummeting into a Canterlot citizen's window, the pony takes it upon him/herself to return the hatchling to its parents - by travelling across Equestria and into the heart of the badlands.

Purpose: You've been constructed for a simple reason: Centuries from now, disaster will strike, and you must prevent it. But to ensure your success, you must follow three rules. One, let no harm come to life in Equestria. Two, never stray from your course. Three, you may not rest until your job is done.


Other is for any of my other ideas, or any of the players', if one gets popular enough. I mean a lot of the stuff I come up with is because of you guys anyway.

Well usually when someone makes a pic in a stream, they don't post it here themselves. Someone else who liked it does that. Or maybe they do it anonymously, I don't know. I just get kind of nervous about looking like an attention whore.

And no, I don't have a blog, or a Tumblr, or any shit like that. I only ever make stuff for you guys, so I just throw it all on here or in the Dropbox, which has fallen out of use ever since Amm's site started saving all my CYOA stuff.

The hilarious thing is that, in Vamp at least, all the "fanon bat" stuff is racial stereotypes that most batponies hate.
They don't have fangs, they sleep normal. They cannot echolocate. They do have better vision and hearing though.

And yet we still get the retarded bat hater.

What is the problem with tracing for a cyoa?other than be lazy?
>>
>>25644380
its dishonest, for starters

2nd, from a visual standpoint, tracing makes everything looks super lifeless and fake.

generally speaking ,tracing for a quest is not going to work out in your favor.
>>
>>25644380
Why would you ever even consider this?
>>
>>25644397
I'm just curious, unless you consider using line, curve and pressure tools just as bad even without tracing.
>>
>>25644385
What if you suck at art?
>>
>>25644453
"Without tracing" would mean that it isn't tracing, so no.

>>25644380
The issue isn't really 'Tracing for a cyoa'. Tracing and claiming the drawing is your own is generally frowned upon. And while it's frowned upon additionally in cyoas, we care significantly less. The only QM that traced had much bigger issues.
>>
>>25644453
There's nothing wrong with using tools to help.
Tracing's kind of iffy, though.
>>
>>25644380
Tracing isn't a problem if you're upfront and honest about it.
We gave AJW a hard time because, among other issues, he didn't admit to tracing.
The Quest Questing guy also traced, but nobody gave a shit because he told us right at the start. He also kept the original file names so people could easily find the source of each image.

Tracing to save time isn't such a big deal, but it's never okay to lie and steal credit for other people's work.

Okay, I've finally done OP [it's stored in notepad] just in case I will find some time to run. I went through my last thread and man, holy shit. Several last posts were indeed a big failure because of typos. I'm returning to more proof-reading from now on, I suppose I grew too confident.

So, all of these alternative timelines from the finale will inevitably turn into fanfics, but probably CYOAs as well. Which one do you thin will be the first one? I think it's the War-Against-Sombra thing. Because it's so cool and edgy and everyone has a badass haircut and whatnot.
Or do you think it will be Chrydator? Or Nightmare Monday through Sunday? I also thing there's a significant lack of Discord in CYOAs. I guess he's just too challenging to write.

Sup. I'm thinking of doing a quest. Pitch idea is that you'll control a party of feckless adventurers through a ruinous sprawl or vault fortress, or what-have-you. (All drawn!) The uniqueness of this I hope comes from my intention to run it like an old school D&D retro RPG. Which hopefully means shenanigans will get out of hand pretty quickly. Any of that sort sound appealing? And if so, would you want a randomly generated party composition, or would you guys want to chose your party makeup?
>>
>>25648781
Sounds like fun.
Make a party beforehand, too many party characters can get out of hand if you're not careful.
>>
>>25648781
We've already had some quests that are basically D&D sessions with spruced up mechanics and medieval settings. Mazes and Medusas, The Nine Lands to name the closest. If you go for the full rpg approach, you'll have to be very good at making it interesting, otherwise the mechanics can flog the quest down.

Okay, if people are still interested, I'll be starting the "Sombra's Apprentice" CYAO in a short while.

I fully intend to do so. I'd like to start the quest with a party ready to begin the crawl. I can either randomise the whole lot, or you guys can pick your classes. As for numbers I'm thinking between 5-6 characters, which sounds a little crazy given most quests have only 1-3 controllable characters, but these characters will be quite specialised in what they do. I intend to make it feel like you're controlling the group rather than any single individual.

>>25648814
The neat thing about the old retro RPGs is that they're a lot more pragmatic in their approach to the game. There's not a lot of dice rolling at all. You won't roll to find traps, the team will have to experiment. The only thing you'd really be rolling for is combat. Which is usually pretty simple few d6s. See image for inspiration. As you said, I really don't want to bog it down with stats and number crunching. I intend to make the whole experience as fluid as possible.

Of the original group we'll see who rises to MC status. I'm certain someone will shine out as the guy/gal that outshines the others. The actual manner of control will be as if the party were discussing it amongst themselves, so you act as a guiding hand, rather than a direct player giving orders.

If you guys want to pick your party composition then you have six slots to fill, chosen from a selection of: Fighter, Magic-User, Specialist, and Cleric.

Fighters are self explanatory, they hit shit with weapons. Magic-Users, are also self-explanatory, and start with a handful of spells depending on their random loadout. Specialists are better at certain activities other classes can do it a basic level. For example; climbing, mechanics, searching/spotting things. They're utility. Clerics can heal and rouse their comrades with spells, and can also get stuck in with the warriors.

If you're interested, just tell me what you want your group to be made out of.

We could have dead pones meet up on the underworld and then go on an adventure to save the world from whatever accidentally brought them back to life.

Harvest died twice, but it got better.

Chalk died once before the story started. Again, it got better.

The only one who stayed dead was Nadine.

Buzzy, Downspout, Nadine, short fuse.

The underworld should be filled with hundreds of 11-54; an entire army of them locked in an eternal war with the other cloned bioforms.

That is a very real possibility, since hell and souls canonically exists in the Bathwater universe.

11-54's soul gets a mulligan.

Do she and Spear share a soul then?
Fuckin deep lore man...

Yeah, but then it will be a Patwrite lawyer who finagles a way to eat both souls or something.

Is the Patwrite megacorp gonna be in SE by the way? I feel like at this point they have to be.

>>25651394
Yes, yes they are.
