/qtg/ - Quest Thread General

/qst/ was a mistake and questing is dead

R.I.P. Questing, 2016.

Enter the age of Patreonkun.

>>1143336
Questing is fine, /qst/ is pure cancer..

>>1143336
oh fuck what will we do without these high quality and thought provoking quotes

>>1143403
staggnaate

>>1143336
I've seen about half of these on /qst/ actually.

Only the really autistic ones have I not seen.

>>1143384
What's so bad about /qst/? I really don't get it. It seems fine to me, but there may be some internal politics or decline in quester quality that I'm not privy to.

>>1143484
some people like to roleplay as a persecuted minority sent into a gulag for their crime of playing quests instead of being reasonable about /qst/

>>1143484
While that anon's making it out to be worse than it is, the huge over saturation of having a board that's nothing BUT quests means it's gonna be slow as bollocks.

/tg/ just gets more traffic. We're not dying, but it certainly feels like "walking" as opposed to running now.

>>1143484
>internal politics
not really

>decline in quester quality
not signifi-

....okay, a LITTLE bit, but the main thing is quantity.

>>1143484
It's a mixture of being forced here, less anon traffic than /tg/, and a lot of the big names disappeared or quit over the year /qst/ became a thing.

Also since we honestly don't need a whole board for questing you see all the dead/inactive quests in the mid/bottom of the catalog giving the illusion that it's dead as fuck when in reality its about as active of at least Akun.

The board itself is fine, but the circumstances of how we got it combined with other factors can sometimes depress people.

Is Shattered Sky Quest dead?

I just want a day where (x anime/fanfic quest) isn't anywhere on the frontpage.

>>1143512
Seems like it. I'm more worried about broken sky online quest.

How do people feel about Magic the Gathering? I'm piecing together ideas for a planeswalker quest and trying to settle on good planes to visit.

>>1143622
there's been a few, less than 10. Most of the ones that died are due to QM flakeout.

>>1143484
>What's so bad about /qst/?
Depends if you consider /qtg/ representative of the board, or the board itself resumed in a single thread.

>>1143336
I'm pretty salty about the move. Way less quests to potentially be interested in, and less activity when I give up and run a quest because the heat death of the universe will happen before the next time a quest I care about gets posted at a time I'm actually awake.


In all seriousness, is there anywhere else to go with more activity but an equal or lower level of cancer?

>>1143321

>QM Question:
What universe would you never run a quest in?
>W40K. Bores the hell out of me on so many levels. Although desu I'd be hard pressed to find a preexisting universe I WOULD run a quest in. I pretty much exclusively build original settings either in advance or as part of the quest.

>Player Question:
What gender do you prefer to play as and why?

>Male. It's easier to identify with a guy being a guy. Although I'm fine with female MC quests. Now writing with a female MC, that I avoid because I'm awful at it.

>>1143484
/qst/ isn't all bad, its problems mostly come from the unreliability of QM's and the pacing of the board. Moving from /tg/ really impacted quests in general, it feels like a brick has been taken out of a wall, and it's expected to become another wall on it's own.

>>1143662
I think it's pretty interesting how different places have developed different styles. Anonkun is for smut. Tgchan has a ton of drawquests and original content but is really slow. Sufficient Velocity is really heavy on fanfic quests and so on and so forth.

>>1143682
The total lack of new blood because /qst/ is effectively a secret spot you have to intentionally go to is what really kills it.

I for one, never would have ever participated in a quest let alone run one if /qst/ had already been established when I first started browsing tg.

there is one good thing about /qst/

>>1143321
>What gender do you prefer to play as and why?
Futa. It has the most depth of character.

I'm considering running my mage hunter quest tonight, although Wednesdays apparently have relatively low traffic. Is it worth attempting? I have far too much invested in this concept to have it die immediately.

>>1144036
Weekend if possible. If that's not possible then just pull the trigger and hope for the best.

>>1144036
Tell me more about what it consists of.

>>1144153
Dark Ages-style fantasy world where blasphemy is on the winning side. The main character believes he saw a vision from God that told him to remove magic from the world at all costs.

Aspects of the world building/style are inspired by Witcher, (very loosely) Dragon Age, Crusader Kings 2, and dark fantasy in general.

>>1144201
>Crusader Kings 2
Okay, now you have my attention. Deus vult!

>>1144036
Well I'll be around for it and it sounds interesting.

Assuming by tonight you mean between about now and six hours from now.

Low traffic is a problem all the time but I've found it's best to just go for it when it works for you and hope people can play. As long as "when it works for you" isn't like 4am pst on a Monday.

>>1144208
>>1144246
Glad people are interested. I think I'll just hold off running it until tomorrow at about 6-7 PM CST.

>>1144273
I'll try and keep an eye out, but I might be roped into playing For Honor with friends.

>>1144273
Cool. I've been pretty busy lately but I'll do my best to participate.

>>1143333

I've been messing around with an idea for a while and it seems like it might be more of a builder, but I can see it working as a quest too, since there would be lots of things to run around and do in such a world.

The great old ones and the outer gods, who reside within the structure of the universe, make a universe, or at least, a galaxy. The elder gods are present too, but they live outside in the super-structure of all universes, not just any 1 specific universe, so their involvement is minimal.

Essentially the goal is simply; build a galaxy, galaxy cluster, or universe, and it would start out at only 59 seconds after the big bang, ending automatically at the heat death of the universe or when at least 1 great old one / outer god has made a functional galaxy that survives X number of turns.

One model I'm thinking of using is it being a builder-esq thing when players are operating the great old ones and outer gods, and more of a /qst/ thing when they are in minion mode and operating 1 specific minion on an individual task, with players freely switching between the two.

The GOO's and OG's would have strict, absolute, and final, limits on their powers, and would be using a strict spheres/portfolios system similar to TTG deities.

Azathoth and Nyarlathotep would be unplayable, azathoth because Az's function is 'make the universes background matrix of space, time, and energy, then blow up a big bang and go home' and N being unplayable because he doesn't exist yet, (but may appear in the course of a game).

I feel like this could be fun, if I can figure out a way to not make it take hundreds of lifetimes to end, and find a way to make it smooth and seamless when changing between GOO or OG and a lone minion.

My previous issue with this was it was such a huge scale of space time and effort that it simply never ended and had difficulty advancing very fast, but I think by reducing it down to a galaxy cluster instead of a universe, that might be fixed.

>>1144649
>59 seconds after the big bang
And what can you do then? The universe was too hot, too small and too weird to do anything of note.

>>1143688
I may have to given Anonkun a shot. It seems to have way more activity at least.

Although now that I've looked at it hot damn does half the stuff there seem to be fetish pron.

>>1144677
Change the laws of nature? Piss on it with old god piss to cool it down?

Swirl it aboot to give it pretty shapes?

>>1144680
>It seems to have way more activity at least.
There are only 7 Live quests on akun right now. There is about the same, if not more quests live on /qst/ right now.

>>1144677
I don't wish to get into a prolonged argument about the physics of it, for one thing theres so much about the time period that no human, anywhere, knows, and for another, it plays out a bit differently than the real big bang (probably) did, and the expansion from tiny speck to big universe is much faster, 30 seconds instead of the ages and aeons it actually took, so the universe is somewhat functionally different than the true actual universe. Different enough that theres stuff to do even at that early stage of things, such as making gas liquid and solid, steadying the output of energy so that its slow and even, creating the lanthanides and actinides needed to start formation of particle masses, etc.

>>1144683
Cooling it down and swirling it you could do, but changing the laws of nature would be risky, because if they break instead of just bending, its instant-game-restart, for everyone. But that's just a vexing delay, as the universe literally -cannot- exist or function without the GOOs and OG's, so this reset never harms a GOO or an OG unless they just roll a truly horrible fail of at least two results of nat-1 out of 3d100.

>>1143321
>What universe would you never run a quest in?
Any universe I don't care for honestly. If I'm not invested in it myself, how can I expect to write good stories about it?
>What gender do you prefer to play as and why?
Male. More relatable to me and and I can try and make decision in character a lot better than I could otherwise. I do kind of want to see more female PC's though just to have a different type of experience.

>>1144683
Forgot to mention; only 1 specific GOO or OG has the 'physics' sphere in their portfolio, so only one of them can actually do the roll the dice to change natural law option. unclear at this time who specifically it is planned to be.

>>1144691
there are about the same number of quests updating but there's still more activity from chat, topics, etc. that keep people involved, and at peak hours akun blows qst out of the water for number of updating quests, votes, amount of discussion, etc. the front page of akun actually roils with quests pushing each other down all the time, rather than once every fifteen minutes

of course, it's still akun, which means almost all of the updating quests, all the votes, and all the discussion is almost worthless. but at least stuff happens even if it's shit

>>1144742
True, but you have to remember that the barrier for participating in Akun is so low.

The difference between taking the time to make a post on 4chan to vote/discuss compared to just clicking an option or chatting in a instant message box on akun is honestly huge.

Lurkers are the worst and akun has far less of them. And you can see them on Akun too which helps QM ego.

>>1141374
Infinite Patchworks. It may grow.

I've been away from /qst/ for the longest time, and all the quests I followed are dead, unsurprisingly. I 'm looking for the first animated quest we had on the board. It was like any other quest but for the fact that OP took the time to actually animate out the story. Plot didn't particularly strike my fancy (mostly exposition), but it was the best thing on the board.

>>1144765
Homeward I think?

>>1144768
May not have been the first then. Can't remember when it was from but I remember full color animations with dialogue drawn into the animation.

Thanks, though

It's unconventional to say the least, but I'm willing to run this on /qst/. The /qst/ion is, is a game that switches between builder and quest regularly per turn, the sort of thing that can be run on qst, and is anyone even interested in doing this?

The goal would be to create 1 large functional self-sustaining galaxy cluster.

>>1144649
>>1144696
>>1144732

An example turn 0, how it might play out.

OP's action: >Azathoth makes the GOO's and OGs, the players appearing in-game, Azathoth takes an extremely back-seat role in the plot, less than 1 in (extremely large number) chance Azathoth does anything any given turn

1st players action: >daoloth uses 'physics' sphere to turn the universe into a finite spherical shape, rather than an infinite flat plane

2nd players action: >Cthulhu uses the 'mind' sphere to give itself and the other GOOs telepathy with each other

3rd players action: >Yog-sothoth uses the 'time' sphere to instantly drop some of the radiant energy to solid state vibration speed, turning 1/6th of the universe's radiant energy into gaseous matter

4th players action: >Rhan-tegoth uses the 'coldness' sphere to change 1/3rd of the existing gaseous-state matter into chemical ices

5th players action: >Ubbo-sathla switches to 'minion' control, gets a minion's stat-sheet, and does a bit of exploring to see if anything formed outside of PCs direct control

Final players action: >Aphoom-zah uses 'gateway' sphere to make a white hole to spew out tachyons, neutrinos, and x-rays, stimulating the steady formation of physically existent matter

OP's answers: (each response)

New turn start.

>>1144815
2 details I wasn't able to mention due to space of the post already being big.

This would be a 3d100 using game, 3 actions per turn unless in minion mode, in which case 2 actions per turn, and finally, this is a static-ruleset game in which a ruleset is present in a pastebin from start of game thread onward.

>>1144786
Whirlpool Quest had colored animations first but I'm pretty sure Homeward Quest is what you're looking for.

it's /u/ isekai trash though, hardly "the best thing on the board"

>>1143336
I've seen some of these. Mostly excitement to catch a live thread and getting off work to find your favourite quest is up.

Slow doesn't quite mean dead.

so Trick is over on akun...

is he always that annoying?

>>1145058
Yep.

I mean I think I have a bit of a point but whatever.

>>1145076
What's the point you're trying to make?

>>1145123

>when the /qtg/ squad has your back

>>1145058
Yes.

>>1145058
What you call """annoying""", I call "did nothing wrong".

>>1145109

The point I was trying to make was pretty much "QM, you could have easily written this scene to be the smut you wanted but you decided to instead blame your players for being "cucks" and then meme at them and get frustrated (to the point he considered NTR punishment before dismissing it as he rightfully should have)"

Essentially the players were a bit leery of playing into the QM's orchestrated retelling of your classic "Satyr catches a nymph and fucks her" scene because they didn't want to rape the female character they were supposed to fuck because moments earlier she had been shouting at the MC to stay away and shooting at him with a shotgun.

At the time the players caught up to her however, she went into "nymph" mode and all she could say was "you caught me"

Then the QM had her do obvious things that indicated she wanted to fuck like approach the MC and grind her hips at him but some of the players (a majority) still didn't want to fuck her because all she could say was "YOU CAUGHT ME!" and looked like a forest creature and the MC wasn't exactly a heartless rapist and he has no clue what the fuck is going on and the QM was mad the players both didn't want to fuck her right then and there and also was mad that a write-in trying to coax her into actually saying something beyond "YOU CAUGHT ME" so we could ensure she was actually sapient and cognizant at the time of the fucking was over the board.

And of course I had to get ticked off and start shit with the QM, his entire hugbox and generally be an annoying prat for multiple hours because I genuinely think JackieBoy (QM) was being a tad unreasonable and should review why things didnt go the way he wanted and fix his side of things rather than just outright blame his players for being "stupid"

>>1145235
That does look like the QM failed to properly convey the nymph was sapient and cognizant, either in prose, in chat or vetoing the write in with the explanation that she is indeed sapient and cognizant.

Odd how smut quest players are either the kind of players that will see the quest burn to get a smut scene or the kind of players that suddenly have a conscience and will try to avoid smut because they think the quest will burn if you get smut. Both kinds naturally complain about the other.

>>1145259

The worst part though is the other players were relating the "refusal to fuck the nymph" to the ludicrous idea that you need to get a consent form filled out by a chick that she wants to fuck you when any real "non-cuck alpha male" (which i'm sure ALL of them are in real life) would pick up on the context clues of her body language to realize she's DTF.

But like, it's just this huge bundle of CONTEXT DENIAL.

Like, yes, if the latin chick who can't speak English and you can't understand Spanish is grinding on you at the club you can probably fuck her and that won't be a problem. Because you're intrinsically aware that she knows what she's doing.

When someone fucking TRANSFORMS into a horny beast via magic powers due to, essentially, puberty and not according to their will (as far as your most immediate knowledge of that persons wants and desires were moments before transformation) and you have NO GODDAMN CLUE about whether they will retain their memories, or if their personalities might conflict between nymph mode and human mode, or if she might be mad knowing she was taken advantage of or just absolutely distraught and feeling like she'd been violated

We had no fucking clue what nymphs are like or what they do. We barely know the extent of our Satyr powers and more seem to be revealed with each new chapter.

All we had to rely on that doing this wouldn't fuck us up the ass (By the way, this girl we're fucking is the best friend of our girlfriend who, admittedly, is alright with the MC fucking other women but not with him y'know, raping her best friend because FUCK IT) is the fact that I intrinsically trust the QM to not have this fuck us up the ass later.

I assume she'll wake up, go like "man being a nymph was fun I want your dick now MC-kun I love it<3~~~" but y'know, just because I'm genre savvy doesn't mean that's a justifiable in-character reason to go "eh, fuck it, let's fuck this nymph cunt"

And the QM could have handled this in a million different ways to make it alright or just NOT GET PISSED when his players are a little bit hesitant to dive headfirst into this bullshit.

GoD FUCK ME FUCK SHIT FUCK FUCK FUCK

>>1145304

Yeah but instead of it being whatever dumb bullshit it is its a SATYR coming in and fucking OUR NYMPH to KEK US or whatever

>>1145304
>>1145305
That BS was a problem in the old quest too

The MC could turn girls into 2 kinds of servants that gave the MC power when they got lewded

IIRC it was handmaidens and something else

One was more normal person while the other a bigger slut but got a lot more energy from lewding

They never put a girl in the slut category once. They could not wrap their heads around that magic demi god of sex penis was objectively better at fucking than any human.

>>1145321
It was less that, more people got squicked by the fact that 'sluttifying' her basically robbed her of all her free will, and we weren't down to do that.

It's legitimately not out of context. I said it exactly as what happened as he told us about it.

If you ever get to the point where you're thinking of punishing your players with NTR because you're mad at them, spoiler alert, there's probably a problem going on that needs to be fixed.

It's completely different from the movie. In the comics, the "hilarious" cartoonish things the Mask does to its victims result in the victim's rather gory death.

So here's a very newfag question.
What are defining attributes of people who participate in quests?
From what I saw, it seems they
-are concerned with staying in control
-create long and elaborate plans
-have at least some degree of sympathy for the characters
-often overreact to perceived dangers

I'm still mad about Modern Satyr Quest this fine morning.

So I've decided I'm inviting Jackie Boy onto my podcast

>>1145878
Eh, they're thematically similar and fairly alike in several aspects, although they diverge pretty drastically at several points.

I'd say, rather, I'd like to run a quest in a Fading Suns / Warhammer 40k setting, because Fading Suns is like WH40k but not as FUCKING ED- grimdark.

>>1145894
Wait are you Cosmic?

I really don't know who you are.

>>1145896
Oh, Trick, I thought we had something special.

Fuck you, faggot.

A quest based around surviving a disaster, or running away from a disaster.
Basically a disaster movie (think Daylight or Twister because fuck modern disaster movies) in quest form. Would it work?

>>1145905
It could, for a oneshot, maybe.

Hey /qtg/, I'm thinking of running a quest set in the Not-Balkans. The main character would be a minor count sent to take command of his county on the frontier. The quest would involve feudal politics, basically minor civ management, and fighting/raiding Not-Slavs.

The Quest is set in pre-World War 1 era technology, but the political structure of the Reich is very similar to feudal Holy Roman Empire. Might be some very small fantasy elements in it, haven't decided yet. Would anyone be interested in playing?

Here's the map I made of the region. Any feed back is appreciated on it.

>>1145992
You are free to believe that, just as you are free to believe that silver is a health drink. It won't make you any less retarded, though.

And what do you know of the philosophies of Dune? You never read the damn thing.
>>1145995
I would argue that God-Emperor was a good ending point if a little less engaging than the first two books.

The last two focused too much on the Bene Gesserit for my tastes, but it was almost worth it for more Duncan fun. The first two are definitely the best, though. Fukken Alia didn't deserve her fate.

>>1146030
>All this implying
Imply nothing, champ. You have explicitly you have only watched the Dune movie, thus making any opinion you have on the book series one borne from ignorance.

This isn't that hard to understand, sport.

>>1146036
I never brought up the book series, now did I? I brought up the only frame of reference I had for the Dune series. That's hardly ignorant, as ignorance implies that knowing stuff about the book is important.

Unless the movie is an extremely terrible adaptation, like the Bay Transformers or Ninja Turtles, I can still have an educated opinion on Dune, as the movie still represents the series.

>>1146045
>I brought up the only frame of reference I had for the Dune series.
Yes, the Dune BOOK series. Had you said you were drafting inspired by the Dune MOVIE, you might have a leg to stand on. A peg leg made of rotted, termite-infested wood, but a leg nonetheless.
>That's hardly ignorant, as ignorance implies that knowing stuff about the book is important.
Are you honestly implying that it's not important to read a book when discussing said book? That is, as as previously stated, a highly ignorant stance to take.

It's like judging the entire star wars franchise when your only exposure to it was some fanfiction you read.
>Unless the movie is an extremely terrible adaptation, like the Bay Transformers or Ninja Turtles, I can still have an educated opinion on Dune, as the movie still represents the series.
It may not be Starship Troopers level of poorly adapted, but yes, it's a pretty poor adaption. That's utterly beside the point, though, as you're trying to cite knowledge of the thematic elements of a book series you've never read based on a movie. Surely you can realize how retarded this is.

What I meant by that is I'd be maybe using elements from both.

Basically humanity in the far future where they once had Clarke tech and then after some big bad event everything went to shit. By the time of the quest there are all kinds of planets with wildly different cultures and alien races encroaching on the old human territories.

I'm going to be a bit more blatant about a lot of the tech using basically magic. And maybe just have magic be a thing, maybe something kinda like Death Among the Stars but more fairy tale like magic.

You get to play a person who could possibly become the God Emperor who attempts to create a new Imperium.

'Cept you start out as an insignificant nothing.

>>1145720
Ah, shit btw this is me on my phone.

>>1146150
This sounds nothing like Dune. Hell, by having aliens you already lose one of Dune's most central themes of introspection on the human race.

But sure, feel free to slap some passing references to God-Emperors and Navigators and Spice and call it a Dunelike, you'll be just as intellectually disingenuous as faggots who call everything "the next Citizen Kane" without understanding that movie's legacy

Eh, chill man. I did say setting and not story so I just feel like that is enough to mention it. I can just say that it's only inspired by 40k if that makes you less butthurt.

HELP!

I have all these dicks in my ass and now I like quests! What should I do?

>>1146321
You're fucked.

>>1146195
And what are you taking from the setting? God-Emperors? I assure your concept is closer to 40K's autistic manchild than Leto II. Navigators? Again, I doubt you know the Dune version at all, especially since the movie got them all wrong. No-ships? Do you even know what a no-ship is or why it's necessary?

What is even remotely Dunelike about your shitty 40K-lite?

Not sure if this is a good habit to get into.

>>1147479
It depends. Did the players bring it on themselves or do you not know how to write failure properly?

>>1147507
They brought it on themselves. Made a bad call in a combat situation and it got them killed.

>>1147514
One bad call or multiple?

>>1147528
A couple questionable but not necessarily poor decisions which put them in position where they were at high risk but also potentially high reward. Then they made an undeniably bad call, the kind of bad call that it is borderline impossible to survive.

>>1147564
Alright so they didn't survive it. My personal favorite way to respond to this 'astoundingly bad call killed everyone' scenario is to say "surprise! you're now ghosts, the mission continues!"

And then just move on from there.

>>1148449

>>1148454
No one said conspiracy until you. Besides, one guy isn't a conspiracy.
Doesn't mean it happened with good intentions either.

>>1148473
If they wanted to kill questing they would've just banned them from /tg/ without making an entire new board for us. Overdramatic QMs and players are the only problem since they're the ones who got too salty to accept using /qst/.

>>1148448
Civs aren't Quests, though.

>>1148479
Banning would've had a worse backlash, that's where /qst/ comes in. It's much more logical, assuming any mod knows what happens when you wholesale ban content that is popular with angry nerds. Shifting is one step less than banning, and it works the same way for /tg/'s purposes.

I find the mod's words on the matter untrustworthy not because of drama but because of how they handled the /qst/ inception thread and their replies to anons there, the drama isn't separable from this of course, but it's not the primary reason.

Also, if dramatic QMs and players are the problem then that means questing is genuinely doomed. Aren't those the people running and playing in fun quests? The ones that actually have a sense of dramatic timing, who are putting in effort in how they have fun? Even then, only a small few stated they wouldn't continue on /qst/, two of which have actually since there's no hope of going back. (HQQ, DAtSQ) Diarca of Totemist and (Decu?) were the only others, and that's not a lot of quests.
One's bigger than those in participants still ran here, Banished for one.

There was also the delay period for the trial of the board, in which quests were not required to change if they didn't have to, so people who enjoyed quests where they began needed no reason change until they were forced.
Because of all this, saying QMs and players are the only problem is just flat out wrong. Blaming the fewest of the few for the board's issues is about as jejune a statement anyone can make. Even more than "questing is dead."

Also, I know for sure at least QD did try /qst/, but disliked the pace of the board. Which is a shame, because it did look like it could shape up to be an enjoyable quest.

Now you come here, transplant this bullshit from akun to here without mentioning a peep about how your argument was given. Fuck off trick, you pretentious twat

I've been thinking about starting a WWI Infantry quest but I can't think of a good combat system. How would you decide who gets to shoot first, where will the bullet hit and the different types of rifles and their effect on loading etc. Please halp

Oh neat Archive moe is back up.

>>1148573
Only War has a good combat system for that sort of thing, including effects on hit extremities and accumulated wound damage.

Who shoots first would be a simple DC roll of detection and reaction. Don't do contested rolls for most things; pick a difficulty check and stick with that. Unless you like the added chaos from there being two chances for your plans to be completely fucked in different directions.

So for example say your Austrian notices a Yugo. Make your detection roll off screen; the players don't need to see absolutely everything.

Your detection roll fails by three degrees of failure. So you can just line up the shot and roll for the aim and shit.

Really it depends on the situation. If you both surprise each other then come up with a roll for the players to beat. Maybe the person you ran into is slow and clumsy so they have a DC of 20 out of a roll for d100, plus modifiers if you choose to use them. Only War's a flexible and easy to understand system so you can get difficulty and rolls for practically anything with few questions.

As far as different types of rifles go I wouldn't worry too much about it. I would personally just generalize them into types of guns, and not pay much attention to bullet caliber and muzzle velocity and such unless there's a particularly significant distance. Getting smacked in the center mass with 7.92 mauser or .303 british is going to be a bad day either way, and when the differences are that fine nobody really cares anyways; the important part is that you got shot with a rifle round.

The effect on loading is likewise insignificant as far as how it should effect gameplay. Don't worry about the finer details and just get to what matters. Everybody will have more fun that way, yourself included, and there'll be less insignificant numbers in the way of the story and game.

>>1148448

Everyone wants a completely original setting, but it's not very easy to do it right.

Not to mention, how original is it actually going to be? The vast majority of stuff here seems to be fantasy/scifi based in some form or another.

May as well take the low road and get additional advertisement from a recognized brand. Plus having a format in place to work with already is nice.

Funny enough, I've never begrudged any of the players who just wanted to vote for fucking the nymph because they either WANT to rape her or don't give a shit about the potential consequences (and figured things were going to turn out fine because its a smut quest) or don't really care. I actually wouldn't care if Modern Satyr WAS a rape quest of the highest order.

>>1149056
trick's actually right this time

>>1148573
Something simple and lethal, maybe Call of Cthulu's combat system, which tends to murder characters in 2-3 shots. Of course it's not perfect, but it's the first one that comes to mind for abrupt, violent death.

Don't use Only War, it leads to very bullet-spongy characters quite quickly and is vastly better suited to a pulp universe like 40k than a historical one.

Of course, you could probably safely run a WW1 infantry quest with only a modicum of actual combat in it. Focus on sitting in you foxhole getting gassed, mortared and bombed, trying to scavenge or find any little luxury to make your time in the trenches more bearable.

>>1149078

You would think that you KEK!

Here's a picture of that "eat all the eggs" copypasta.

Shut the fuck up and fuck your nymph you beta!

>>1149078
He's right in that most votes were to not fuck her, mostly because they refused cues, had fallen into shadowrunning (there was a gun fired) and Akun doesn't grok an MC that isn't Banderas diplomancer easy mode smut tier.

From there to say the QM blamed the players, called them cucks and strawmanning the entire chat he's just being a shit.

And you're right the QM didn't call the players "cucks". He "implied" they were fedora-tipping betas trying to weedle consent out of a girl and was in the frustrated mindset that made him consider bringing Pete out to cuck the players who voted against fucking the nymph in the scenario he created that they refused to participate in.

I know people don't want me harping on the NTR that never happened, but like, c'mon you can't deny the QM's mindset if they're considering that.

I will admit it is wrong to imply that the QM is super anti-cuckoldry since, IIRC, the original Modern Satyr had some "close to cuckoldry" elements.

Its just cuck is the new fedora is the new beta and all these words with slightly different denotations and connotations just sort of blend together, at least from my perspective.

And all I'm getting is that you're here continuing to crusade for your shit. You can't engage me and talk shit and then be like "why is this guy still on about this?"

>And you're right the QM didn't call the players "cucks"

by about the third try, which yes, was pretty funny. It also managed to make give the "fuck nymph" vote the tiny push needed to win, so it MAY have been intentional by the QM.
>took longer to write than usual
Because of previously stated frustration and also chat activity - of which Trick is a major part of.

What makes you consider these settings difficult?

If I formalize magic, then it's just engineering with a different skin on it, and at that point we might as well use tech.

If I don't, then we have the freeform problem because everyone can pull all sort of bullshit.

LBQ has the player LITERALLY FIGHTING GOD, and the only reason why they can is that God has to stick to the Biblical script. Even then, in order to ensure consistency for my players, I've done more Bible and Talmud reading for this quest that during the year I was a theology major!!!

how many turns do you run per [span of time]?
how long does it take to make a battlefield vs how long does it take to simply process a turn on it?

>>1151468
>how many turns do you run per [span of time]?
It depends on the time zones of you and your players. It's completely possible to run at turn a day if your timezones don't intersect. If you can get them all together, you can even run a turn per hour.

>how long does it take to make a battlefield vs how long does it take to simply process a turn on it?
It depends on how fancy your battlefield graphics are, how many players and enemies there are, how fast your rules are, how streamlined is your workflow... It's hard to say in a general case. Processing is usually faster though.
For example, in my latest skirmish I could process around 15 players and enemies in total in 60-90 minutes. The map took about 8-10 hours complete with the enemy graphics and stats

Infinite Patchworks is still plodding along. Pull reality or something from abstraction!

>QM Question:
A 'proper' fantasy. Mostly because I feel like it's overplayed.

>Player Question:
Male, but androgynous. Mostly just because that's how I roll and it's fun to imagine myself in the story, etc. On the other hand, I like MC's that fit the tone of the story, so it just depends on the circumstances, I guess. A high-flying space-western adventure with an androgynous character that does odd jobs and gets into occasional trouble and some shenanigans sounds fun to me.

>>1149939
Speaking of long running quests, what other quests are hitting those milestones?

If it's good I might read it

So, in a post that is absolutely in no way related whatsoever to the previous post, I'm brainstorming a setting for a quest at the moment for a sort of mashup between a western themed dieselpunk and cyberpunk kind of adventure story. Character interaction will probably play a dominant role in the quest, since it's kind of my style, but I figure there'd be plenty of of high-flying adventure, probably some bounty and monster hunting stuff, maybe a few heists involved if it goes that direction.

I know that to get a whole lot of feedback I'll have to go ahead and run it, which I do plan on doing, I'm just curious and am hoping to kind of gauge the interest in that kind of quest at the moment. So, does anybody have any thoughts on the idea? Reposted because holy shit my grammar was terrible.

>>1153492
Fair enough. Can't fault that logic.

>>1153426
What does androgyny add to the quest? It seems like that's just your fetish or something.

>>1152532

That Damn Weasel's entire life desu senpai.

>>1153514
Read the post again. He said he's androgynous himself and enjoys self-inserting into trap MCs.

>>1153514

Well, depending on the author it could be used as a way to hit home the fact that the MC is pretty unique compared to his/her peers, or a case of trying to find a sense of self/identity... But most would just use it as an excuse to play as a trap/reverse trap and fuck with NPCs.

>>1153530
So he's let his weird fetish extend into his real life too, what's your point?

>>1153473
I really like this idea. It sounds very original, and I think originality is exactly what /qst/ needs more of.

>>1153514
It's a flavor aspect, a detail. Often times details add little to nothing to a scene other than being fun and making it more colorful. And, even if it is a little bit ridiculous, >>1153530 is pretty much right. It's got nothing to do with anything sexual. I try and keep quests and lewds separate.

Also, >>1153532 is pretty much right as well. It -is- unfortunately something that most people just toss in there because they want to insert fetishes and/or pander to a certain audience.

>>1153548
I appreciate that. Hopefully it lives up to that expectation.

Alright. I'm thinking of submitting a /qst/ team for the next 4chan Cup. What are some things you'd classify as board memes to put on the team?

Put some QMs name on some of em like Miniseries, Mary, Germanstheel or something

>>1155472
I haven't actually put in a request for it, yet. This is kind of a trial balloon.

I put Som and Trick on because they're the most controversial QM's

Here's the squad I have so far [ http://pastebin.com/7xMzBkiK ], but I'm looking for better suggestions, or things I wouldn't think of because I didn't read certain quests.

>>1155490
I think I'll adjust those to be Blame the Quest, and The Decisions of Others, and add them to the preliminary team.

>>1155499
Should I replace Lesbian Smut, or Harem Bait with that?
