I couldn't agree more. My only reservation is that it all too often results in the MC or those around him swiftly making huge leaps in technology that just wouldn't have happened.

>>Player Question
>What kinds of unique settings or characters would you go out of your way to play?

I'd like to see some more characters with a bit more naivete. Too many characters are either fully developed, never make mistakes adults or snarky teens with a wicked sense of humor.

Shut the fuck up.

I don't get leading choices in quests (where you give players an option but when they pick a "wrong" one you explain to them why its wrong and what the right one is). If you're just going to spoonfeed your players the correct answer to a situation, why even bother giving them the opportunity to vote. It's bizarre.

>>1176462
The only time I've really had to do this is in the situations of write-ins, where some outside knowledge the players couldn't possibly know about would screw them over.

Sometimes it's good to just let it happen and have things play out naturally, but others, I'd hate to see everyone's time get wasted over something totally preventable. As for what you're saying though, yes, that does seem quite silly. The "wrong" option shouldn't even be an option if there's no point picking it.

High fantasy with an original twist on it, not just a run of the mill wizard adventure. I've been thinking of doing something like this, world building is extremely fun if you put in some time .

I have three ideas I want to run and they're all magical girl fanfic
help

>>1174712
I've been considering on doing a quest based on the Green Antarctica alternate history, but since one of the main grabbing points of the setting is the alien and most of the time mind-numbingly evil culture of the native Antarcticans, so I think that a quest plaing as James Cook or a group sent to rescue the poor sod after the natives captured him.

>>1176759
>desu what even is this magical girl stuf
It's like Sailor Moon or Card Captor Sakura.
I'm attracted to settings where the tone is almost assumed to be light unless it's some kind of grimdarkedge thing.

It's a shame. I wanted to run a magical girl type quest, but then I found out it's hated.

Gotta run what Anon wants, after all.

>>1176803
I think it's hated because of how overdone it is and not because Anon hates it.
It's like the potato chips of quest ideas. It's something you binge on that's cheap and quick to make and not something that is lovingly crafted and executed by explaining the story and premise without relying on tropes.

I don't really care though, I still keep having ideas for them.

Okay, so I'm thinking about doing a quest about Anon waking up in the world of For Honor, but the different faction's Hero classes are all Magical Girl Squads.

Whaddya think, /qst/?

>>1176866
>Isekai Magical Girl fanfic
Sure why not?

>>1176795
>>1176803
First of all, "unless" implies that the smaller fraction is grimdarkedge. At this point, there are as many grim magical girl titles as there are not. Besides, quite a few of them are trying to be seinen anyway, which is often not light.

Second of all, magical girl quests are popular. That's WHY they're hated. Same with fanfic, it's either the same tired cliches recycled, or a niche thing that has a closed community that rarely shows its face on qtg. Usually it's both, with people saying it gets better 20 THREADS LATER.

>>1176866
I think you're going to need some REALLY good combat. Do you know what Action Chain is?

>>1176866
Make the combat weighty and heavy instead of flighty and magical and you got a deal

>>1176803
You might catch someone like me who wants an engaging premise and an itty-bitty thread #. I'm a little burned out on anime contrivances, but magical girl flavor is still a fresh taste to me.

>>1176877
>At this point, there are as many grim magical girl titles as there are not.
That's the beautiful part, though. It's dynamic enough to where any given story can be either direction and still flow naturally.

>>1176880
But magical girls are cute and sparkly, how can you even make them heavy?

>>1176866
>so I'm thinking about doing a quest about Anon waking up in the world of For Honor

YES DO THIS

I'm pretty sure that's a counter example where every choice feels arbitrary. CAST GOLDENWEAPON I WIN.

>>1176904
>>1176905
Oh I know! What if I keep all the weighty combat and executions, but it's still all flighty and sparkly. Just imagine the juxtaposition of a magical girl impaling another one on her cutesy pike and lifting her skyward while glitter and rainbows spill from the wound!

Pretty great, right?

>>1176947
whatever, sure.

But that ASSUMES that you can port over For Honor's combat in quest form.

>Just imagine the juxtaposition of a magical girl impaling another one on her cutesy pike and lifting her skyward while glitter and rainbows spill from the wound!
I'm fairly sure that's been done before. PSG?

>>1176951
Quit being a spoilsport just because you bought into the /v/ memes and hate the game. I think it'll be fun, I just wanted to see if anyone was interested.

>>1176963
....dude. You seem to be misunderstanding something. I've never been to /v/, and I have nothing against the game.

My doubts stem from your ability to make combat in a quest entertaining. What exactly about the quest is going to be For Honor? The controls? The spectacle? Predicting enemy action? What do you identify as feeling like For Honor, and how much of it are you bringing into quest form?

Because as you might guess, For Honor doesn't really use dice. You are certainly going to abstract mechanics to approximate the feeling, but WHAT are you going to prioritize?

>>1176963
Hatred doesn't even begin to describe how I feel towards you, WZulEM4K. Ddrill this into your fucking skull. You are filth. Your family and friends (as if you'll ever have friends) could die, your house could burn to the ground, everything that was valuable to you could have been destroyed, you could die in the most horrific and gruesome way, and you still wouldn't have suffered enough. If you were toilet paper, I wouldn't even wipe my ass on you because my ass alone is far better a person than you will ever be.If you ever show your face here again (and let's face it, you'll be back), I will not rest until you are banned from every board your worthless mind has decided to stumble upon and you will not only leave this website for good, but you leave this life. If there are any newfags that are reading this, take WZulEM4K as an example on how NOT to be a QM. Even the most cancerous tripfags are above him on an astronomical level. There is absolutely nothing good to say about you. I can only hope that someday, someone decides to kill you and rape your lifeless body. Across the street for attention, down the river for results. We all know that you're going to pick across the street like the pathetic scum of the earth you are. You deserve nothing good in life, and I hope that you do the earth a favor and off yourself.

-Older quest idea taken from a video game where you're a magical girl in the 30's trying to fight Cthulhu cultists and their crazy inventions (Pic related is the star of that)
-Redux of an old quest someone gave me permission to do again.
-A Nanoha spinoff quest.

>>1177198
the pic is cute but I'm not sure about 'crazy inventions' and 'Cthulhu cultists' in the same game and having a consistent tone. if you pull it off it'd be good but it'd be hard and you'd only have one shot

Well, to give an example from the game. One level has you fight gangsters in a model-T, and the next level has you fight a sci-fi tank.
'consistent' isn't really the right word to describe it, but that's probably why I never got around to doing anything with it.

>nanoha spinoff mite b kool but probably only if you stay away from canon cast and basically do your own thing in the setting
This is what I was planning, but I wanted some parts of the cast to be around somewhere in the distant background, maybe to eventually enter at some point. Which may spell poison to the whole idea if I can't make it work right.

Would anyone here be interested in a quest where you're the captain of an armed trawler in not-WWI? Setting is a stormy archipelago that warring powers only care about because floating wrecks from great battles are carried by the currents to smash against the islands. It'd feature navigating by a map, interacting with your crew, learning about the setting through a salty old local, exploring wrecks and ruins from older empires, scrapping said wrecks and ruins, small-scale naval combat, and the moral dilemmas of fighting over some wretched rocks that nobody important really cares about.

You really think that if I took my trip off then people wouldn't have started meming at me? That's just being naive, anon.

Even now if I took it off you'd all say, oh well he's already shitposted a bunch, clearly mini has nothing of value to say. So give me a reason why I shouldn't just shit on this general and I will take my trip off.

>>1178885
>You really think that if I took my trip off then people wouldn't have started meming at me?

Yes. If you went into this qtg as anon with a fresh ID no one would have gave you shit.

>So give me a reason why I shouldn't just shit on this general
You're not shitting on anything. You're responding to such low quality and effort bait that you are the one making a fool out of yourself.

>>1178885
>Even now if I took it off you'd all say, oh well he's already shitposted a bunch, clearly mini has nothing of value to say.

You do understand that if you stopped posting with your trip on you would be anonymous, right?

I mean obviously for this thread you've already spoiled your ID with your continued insisting to behave in a manner that can only be described as the online equivalent of shitting your pants and running through Walmart screaming "I'm a big boy! I'm a big boy and I made a big poo-poo!" Sure, you ARE in the right place for that kind of behavior, but it's still a traumatizing experience for anyone unfortunate enough to witness it.

The point is, you're a piece of shit and your only chance of ever having anything resembling an actual conversation with an actual person is to conceal that fact to the best of your ability. Drop your trip.

>>1178967
True. I'll do that next thread. My point is that it doesn't matter what a fool I make of myself, because if I ever mention the quest I run I'd get some hate.

>>1178975
You're misunderstanding my point a little bit. My problem isn't necessarily that you guys have a problem with me, I couldn't care less. It's just I've seen you shit on people time and time again for no reason really. There aren't that many of us here.

Even the OP post is a jab at an anon who was making a very good point. Original content is just a meme, because you act like it make something automatically better because someone put more effort into it.

How about we judge things based on the writing?

>>1178984
>because if I ever mention the quest I run I'd get some hate.

Shinobi doesn't get hate when it's mentioned outside of the small inconsequential:
>Naruto fanfic
comment that is easily ignored.

The reason that you get and will continue to get hate is how you conducted yourself last thread and this one. First impressions are important and no one even knew you existed until last thread.

>>1178994
It's not so easily ignored when people are spamming

>anime
>fixfic
>fanfic

ect. at every chance they get. You claim all these things are terrible, but when it comes to the chance to offer legitimate criticism you don't take it. (I managed to get some after sticking around through your shitty memes for a bit, but really most people aren't going to do that.)

I just don't get why you go out of your way to be butthurt about what constitutes half the board. In the meta thread, I saw people actively saying it's the player's fault that people don't like original content.

That's sort of what frustrated me. People blaming the players for what they like instead of resolving to be better at what they write. That's downright cancerous. I don't care if you guys hate me, I just think everyone deserves fair treatment. Not me at this point clearly, but holy fuck you are delusional if you think 3-4 people spewing shit at a single person asking for criticism is going to make anyone actually listen to you.

I get some QM's are just downright stubborn and refuse advice, but if you can't offer fair, unbiased criticism free of your feelings on the subject, I don't think you should be offering any criticism at all.

>>1179024
My argument had nothing to do with your fanfic vs OC delusions you keep bringing up.

My point is simple: Act like a cunt, get treated like a cunt. Specially a Holier Than Thou cunt. It has nothing to do with running a fanfic or an OC.

>>1179050
How it is a delusion when it's a frequent topic of conversation?

One side, the side in this general, just seems intent on ignoring any and all points brought up by the other side. It's a circle jerk in here. I keep bringing it up because that's the whole reason I'm acting like a cunt: because you people were cunts in the first place. You want me (and everyone) to treat you guys like you're some authority on questing, which is laughable.

This whole thread is dedicated to a holier than thou attitude. So do you want to address my points, are you going to continue to give me reason to waste your time?

Say something nice about one quest you dropped!

>>1179081
Somnius has kept running dragonball based quests and still getting a shitload of active players. I don't know how he does it but it's impressive.

>>1179074
Dude get off your fucking high horse. People don't have to agree with you, and just because most people don't doesn't mean that it's an echo chamber. Nobody wants to have a serious conversation with you because you keep playing the victim card whenever you're not trying to be some wannabe Planefag. We aren't fucking obligated to agree with you.

>>1179086
I don't even know what Planefag means.

No, you're not obligated to agree with me specifically, but you should at least be obligated to judge quests for what they are instead of what they're not.

That's just stupid. You might as well not even say anything at all if you're just gonna shitpost at fellow QM's.

When will you understand that it's not an echo chamber because of how you treat me, but because of the reactionary, sensitive nature of this thread? Calm yourselves.

Good thing most people aren't shitting on your quest itself. It was like one autist in the previous thread. The reason why people don't like you is because you automatically assume that everyone is attacking you because you run a fanfic quest. People dislike you because you're annoying as hell. You haven't added anything meaningful to the thread.

Like I said, this place isn't an echo chamber, you just can't stand when people don't like you. Either grow some thicker skin or fuck off to your own thread, people are tired of seeing your long-ass posts where you continually play the victim card and spout nonsense.

>>1179137

And you say we're reactionary. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

Look, it's a very vocal minority that actually care whether a quest is OC or fanfic. Most people here couldn't care less what setting a quest is in as long as the writing is good. Hell, some of the most popular quests have been fanfic. As a QM whose quest is OC, I completely believe that it doesn't matter whether a setting is fanfic or not. Cool your jets and quit being such a cunt. Your demeanor is the primary reason why people are telling you to fuck off, despite your insistence otherwise.

Now either calm down or fuck off.

I'll probably get the game and play it at some point. I'm studying abroad in Japan in fall so I'd like to complete this quest before that happens so if the game is too long I may have to just go with it.

>High fantasy

I'm currently in the planning phase of a high fantasy quest.
But I'll probably only do it after I'm done with my currently running one.

So let's discuss this topic a bit:

>How much is ''too much''?
And let me elaborate on this.
There are certainly certain things in fantasy that are timeless and should be included but at what point does it become ''Just another elves and dwarves'' / Tolkien rip-off.

And in reverse:
what constitutes as trying too hard to deviate from the norms?


I have a pretty clear image already but it's still interesting to discuss this

Forgive the shitty artwork.

I've done a few quick sketches for some potential characters. One thing I've noticed from looking at other threads and how they were successful and how they failed:

Characters are more favored when they aren't wacky and don't rely on a talent or reactionary bullshit. Even more so if they players can just talk to them and actually get to know them. And even more so if they can see how the characters interact with the world and eachother without relentless exposition. Show don't tell I guess.

Anyway I tried to incorporate that philosophy into their design a bit. Any notes?

>>1179584

>>1179591
you can tell samantha's a major freak in the sac.

But really they all look plain enough that some good character interaction's going to be more or less required to enjoy them. This is good for the most part, but consider that if players just don't like the guy they'll get tired of interacting with them.

You seem to have enough details to make each character distinct and recognizable. Are males considerably higher than females? It seems so, but I can't tell for sure when their feet aren't seen.

I think cartoony styles work better for quests, because they speed up the drawing process, which allows for faster updates.

Fair enough, but when have we ever been in the culture of following rules to the letter on this site?

>I-I'm not a mod!
I didn't even reply to you. You just heard someone yell rape and in response zipped up your pants and asserted that you didn't do anything. This just makes it obvious you're a mod.

>At the end of the day, /qst/ is not the place for smut quests.

What is the place for smut quests then? Why do the mods want questing to die? What did questers ever do to you? Why create a quarantine board for a medium that isn't a big deal, and then also cordon off another piece of that medium? Questing is already starved for players and QMs. There's no visibility. /qst/ - Quests gives whatever few random passerby there might be no indication of what to expect from things on the board. Instead of putting your hands over your ears and saying "I'm not a rapist I swear", why not try and actually do sometihng to fix questing.

Actually, that is me you replied to, but my mobile crashed, which switches up my ID when it refreshes.

Maybe if you read the rules, you'd see that /qst/ isn't for smut quests, and that means your opinion on the matter isn't up for discussion.

Mods probably don't CARE about questing, since they have bigger concerns. Content for questing and such isn't a stable thing, it comes and goes.

If you want a good quest, then MAKE ONE. Don't bitch and whine because your blistered ass isn't being catered to.

>>1179860
On average males are going to be slightly taller than most of the female characters, yes.

Ideally I'll avoid drawing for the most part. I just thought it best to have at least some visual accompaniment considering the source material. Especially in regards to any potential murder scenes, since visually categorizing the evidence gives players the chance to find and compile the evidence themselves rather than simply be handed a list of every piece needed to put the puzzle together.

>>1180007
>oy goy I made the rule no smut quests so why would you want smut quests?

I'm saying the rule is stupid. You're already killing questing, at least kill it a little less.

>Mods probably don't CARE

>If I was a rapist, I wouldn't care that I raped people
>b-but I'm also not a rapist, baka

>run a good quest :^)

Again, the problem is exposure. Someone could run a good quest and it wouldn't matter. The newly deceased Banished Quest had a 3rd of the players that it had on /tg/, and that's still five times more than the most popular quests currently running. Even if some god of writing somehow creates a quest that appeals to all the people on /qst/, they still will get fewer players than a reasonably popular quest from back in the heyday of questing because nobody else comes to /qst/. That number is only going down and it's your fault.

>>1180042
>"I made the rule"
But that's wrong. I didn't make any rule.

>>1180052
>I'm not a mod
>So all the problems you mentioned with /qst/ don't exist

>>1180042
I don't mean to interrupt, and I might be a little wrong because I'm still bitter as fuck about it: but questing was already on its way out when /qst/ was made. I think even a quest written by the best writer ever on /tg/ today would have gotten less exposure than the same quest written on /tg/ four years ago because the population of people playing was declining. It was one of the reasons /qst/ was a shit idea for a new board.
Part of the reason why this was is because of /tg/ adopting the "General" culture and fewer people browsing /tg/ for things that might be tangential to what they liked. Today, most of the population of /tg/ is walled off in general threads and only a few people browse the front page for new threads.

I would love to return to the heyday of questing, but I don't see that happening on this website ever again. Even if the split never happened.

>>1180066
>Since when did I deny they existed?

>If you want a good quest, then MAKE ONE
>/qst/ isn't for smut quests, and that means your opinion on the matter isn't up for discussion.

If you know there are problems, then why do you advise people to just bend over and accept them rather than actually trying to do something? Stating that the problem is that there isn't a good quest in response to what I is explicitly denying that the exposure problem with /qst/ isn't a thing. Saying "It's the rule goy just live under it" invalidates something as a valid complaint, yet everyone who isn't retarded can agree unequivocally that text can't be NSFW.

Now that you've admitted that the problems exist, you can stop fellating the mods and their shitty decisions. Please.

Oh really? Sorry, I hadn't looked at for a year or so. There was only a handful of quests I followed on it. Waterworks was pretty neat.

So let's say that I've a surprising amount of art drawn up for a universe, and only enough free time to do one or two updates per day.

Would a skirmish with each player taking the place of a ship be better or worse than a space-mercenary/salvage quest where all the players collaborate on how handle the control of a small region of space?

The former would see lots of individual customization, while the latter would be lots of customizing various ships, sending them on patrols along designated routes, and then piecing together a response based off of their findings.

If this was your first SOM quest I can forgive that, you just wanted some Avatar.

But shit like that is a repeat occurrence in his quests. Hell he tried to hide himself under a different trip multiple times because people were still sore about him killing his MC in a spiteful fashion in his previous Avatar quest he ran.

Fate/Extra's combat system is a lot like a modified combat chain, right?

>>1182535
It sounds interesting, but you might (potentially) run into a "tug of war" situation where people will end up reversing things and essentially going nowhere. This could be due to trolling, Anons changing their minds, or just different Anons participating who legitimately want something different.

Although, I could just be being paranoid. Again, it sounds like a very interesting idea. I've wanted to run a quest where you form a team consisting of you and two monsters, who gain subtle changes over the course of the journey, but essentially talked myself out of it due to the afformentioned reason. Don't let me talk you out of it though; I just happen to be very weak willed when it comes to some things.

The OC trawler-captain quest that I posted today seems to be doing decently well - am I just lucky? I was sorta expecting to eat shit and watch my first quest die from the doomsaying of qtg.

>>1182623
There's no such thing as luck on this board.

Well, besides the dice results, of course. Those at least seem to be relatively lucky in your quest.

>>1182623
Crap, now the Anon who hates names and trips is going to get triggered again.

>>1182659
Dice are not luck based. I'm pretty sure every time you make a dice request it pings a mod and they assign the most poetically relevant roll (relevant to the metagame and fucking with people) to the post.

>>1182596
>>1182571
>>1182573
Oh, I'd at least make it difficult to go back, to avoid needless errands needing to be made, depending on the "route" of the evolution.

Each would have "tiers", so to speak, each ranging in complexity, and each time anons changed to a different form, then attempting to go back, the criteria woukd increase in difficulty.

(Though starting instruments may offere different paths, depending on which one you choose.)

And some choices will actually have increased difficulty in changing.

(The ×××× god is especially difficukt to change from, but offers unique benefits not always obvious but always hinted at)

>>1182784
Of an OC quest.

>>1182840
Go on...

>>1182596
I was twiddling with an idea of "sacred stones" and other items/materials affecting the boons and drawbacks of each instrument anons would choose.

With study, you could predict (mostly) what would happen.

(but some strange materials bring forth unknowns. Certain metals are among these things.)

>>1182784
It was more just seeing what side the dice favored. Clearly, even the dice favor fanfiction. I guess it's time to give in, fanfiction is the meaning of life, the universe, everything!

Original days are over, let's /fan/.

>>1182861
It sounds like it would be a lot of book-keeping on your end, but some QMs like to do that sort of thing. If I'm interpreting this right, the system would have quite a bit of depth to it.
I don't think I've seen a quest with an upgrade system quite like that, though I admit I've only read a few.
Either way, it sounds cool and original and I like it.

>>1182861
I like original stuff. I'll follow this quest if and when you run it.

>>1182909
>>1182941
I'd be down to start it, but my schedule isn't fixed and I work as a wageslave manager. Hopefully soon, I can get this all sorted out.

I also have several pages of notes and charts on how to progress, but I've intentionally left them vague so I can be flexible.

I can say this though, there will be at least 4 initial choices to make, and 5 choices between what you start out with.

Brass, String, and Woodwind will be the main options. (Depending on the starting region, and main attributes you anons pick, there will be others.)

Secondary instrumental families will also be avaliable, but their options aren't as readily presented as the main three...

This will likely take place in a post-apocalyptic fantasy world.

If anybody wants, I can reveal which fantasy races are primarily attributed to what instruments, but I'll limit the sneak peaks to 3 choices.

>>1183004
I'd like to hear about the fantasy race instrument stuff.

I think it'll devolve into a mess, personally, and that any change of instrument should be a narrative event rather than a gameplay one

In all seriousness though do you really think anon players from 4chan can play that very well?

>>1183135
Elves are traditionally associated with the Reed family

Dragons are associated with the Chimes and Bells

Dryads are associated with horns and flutes.

>>1183273
>do you really think anon players from 4chan can play that very well?

Let me tell you a story, anon. I will preface it by saying that not only do I believe you, but I am part of the living proof what you said is true.

So sometime last year I picked up this quest, where the QM had us playing some wannabe-diplomancer brat who had been isolated from most of the world as part of the plot. They're socially stunted, no two ways about it, and the only thing they've got going for them is this near autistic talent at manipulation and reading body language.

Fine, cool, whatever. We got what we needed, surely we can improvise the rest, right? Jesus christ, god, fuck. No. No we could not. Things started simple enough but then the shit we did or said started coming back to bite us in the ass. We're trying to make friends and allies at a quick clip because we're up to our brows in politics and world events and games being played we don't know the half of, and all we're managing to do is eventually piss off everyone - Particularly, one person we really NEED to be our friend is the one least keen on taking any of our shit.

So things keep up like this and the road is not fucking pretty. Anons are saying the wrong shit, to the wrong people, and forgetting things at the worst possible moments, and when something blows up in our face, it's always something really goddamn simple and self explanatory that we just completely screwed up. We're making enemies of really stand up, legit guys just because they're not having our bullshit. We're yelling at children because we've covered every ulterior motive except 'lets be friends'. We're getting our asses nearly killed by our own allies because for the longest time we couldn't figure out how to treat them as people instead of things to use, and we're hitting goddamn brick walls when some of them are calling us out on it, too.

I've seen what happens when anons are given unrestricted control over social queues, and it hurts. It fucking hurts, man. It hurts me, it hurts the other guys playing, I swear to god we've made the QM cry at least once at how far into Shit's Fucked we've managed to go. It's taken us like a year to make a single goddamn friend, a real one, and we almost fucked that up too.

But let me tell you, anon. Let me tell you right now. Making that friend made me feel things. If, on the extremely unlikely event that I, and the rest of my bumbling anonbros, can somehow manage anything approaching romance in this quest, it will straight up bring me to tears. Doesn't matter how it turns out, hell I know we're gonna screw it up, but just that it happened. That's enough, man. I will raise my flagon, and I will call to my anonbrothers, and we will cheer.

>>1183358
anon, there's shitposting, and then there's going too far.

>>1183368
tl;dr

>>1183385
tl;dr - I've seen what happens when anons try to do social things without training wheels. It's not pretty.

It can be rewarding, though.

>>1183404
Sorry I was being an ass. I did actually read it.

Sounded rough for everyone.

>>1183368
It wasn't the same for me in a different quest. It didn't feel rewarding at all when friends were actually made, I got the most enjoyment out of the choices that I was able to wrangle a majority out of because the rest of them were too afraid to vote.

And that's not healthy for a quest.

>>1184045
Eh, I'm actually tired of rapey villains. I've used them, but it's such a shallow way of getting people to hate a character.

Rapey allies are the new way forwards.

>>1176710

I'm really curious why people want to keep running magical girl quests. Is it so you can play a lesbian little girl? Because I don't think I've seen any magical girls quest heroines who were heterosexuals, let alone spending most of their time mooning over the dreamy boys in the class.

Like, JQOP has this weird fetish for magical girls as love interests, but it's because they have the whole uber-feminine thing that shows up in his quests. Not a single butch or tomboy in any of his games, even the 'fierce' girl gets all weepy over boys.

>>1184056

The only problem with your argument is that you assume this is the case only in magical girl quests.

I'd wager that every female protag that was in a quest ended up a lesbian due to one simple fact:

The average quest player is male and therefore wouldn't want a male dicking their player character.

>>1184059

Be careful. Some yurifags would not like your "totality" language.

Some FeMCs are straight.

>>1184060
I did say it's only a wager.
So it's possible that there are hetero female MCs but then you'd have to show me examples.

In other words: Pics or it didn't happen.

>>1184062
Hellborn Quest

Tuffle Quest

All dick, no vag eating whatsoever

>>1184065
Very well, I accept defeat.

But still, you can't deny that the majority of female MCs end up being gay

>>1184059

Like, I wouldn't mind a magical girl quest if it was REALLY in-theme. The problem is that /tg/ only really plays one stereotype, the man-in-woman's body who is hot-blooded, who punches everyone, and is always straight-talking.

If you've ever seen a magical girl show, you know they're mostly the opposite. Newer shows tend to have a lot more yuri teasing, like Symphogear which basically has no relevant men, but they're a symptom rather than representative of the whole.

I'm pretty sure /tg/ doesn't want to get all teary-eyed when sempai fails to notice them, or spend a lot of time talking about boys. That's sort of integral to the experience, like Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne or Fancy Lala. Even Shadow Lady had a male love interest.

>>1184067
Huh...

I'm still certain there is an audience for that, even if it's smaller than the other crowd.
After all you wouldn't argue for it if you didn't want something like that.

So I'd say it's better to condition your players so they act a certain way.
Like subtly punishing them for acting ''manly'' by having most boys avoid the MC like the plague and the girls rolling their eyes at her.
Nothing serious, or too obvious but enough to get their attention.
After they get in character it's a lot easier to do shit like that.

For example: I pretty much made all of my players fucking paranoid by killing off characters at the very beginning of the quest for a variety of reasons.

Now I've given them literal absolute power and guess what? They don't fucking dare to use it.

Would an ultra feminine protagonist be a good fit for a horror quest?

I want to encourage them to think not fight, and being a Japanese schoolgirl with a medical condition might be the way to do it.

>>1184073
>Would an ultra feminine protagonist be a good fit for a horror quest?
Yes, but only if it's a boy.

>>1184076

This is the kind of shit I'm talking about. Do that, and it just becomes another fetish quest.

>>1184051
The best are rapist allies who have straight up raped one of your companions but said companion has to just kinda deal with it because said rapist ally is too valuable at the moment to risk burning that bridge.

>>1184078

Or a guy who hooked up with one of the girls that should have been your love interest. He's still your bro and she's still a great girl, but she couldn't wait forever for you, you know?

>>1183368
fucking
VALEN QUEST
I keep meaning to catch up since the end of Part 1 but haven't ever had the time
>>1184070
the problem is finding that audience. they're used to being drowned out by the various crowds (/u/, anti-/u/, /transgender/, fa/tg/uy, /a/, etc.) that aggregate into the man-in-little-girl that we always get.

Would it be bad if I advertised questing to my youtube base?

>>1184085
Honestly the community can't get any more cancerous

>>1184085
they'd be pretty easy to spot in the quests I care about, and they'll get eaten alive in the quests I don't. So you do you.

>>1184085
One quest has before. It's not typical, but it can happen.

Fuck it

>>1184093
Sure. Let's bring Gaia Online and Newgrounds in here too, while we're at it.

hey qtg.

ive been considering running a quest loosely based on the old abberant/trinity/adventure setting.

probably set in a slightly later series of events, and with many canonical elements changed or dropped to allow qst more leeway.

any interest?

>>1184149

It might work, but not with that level of spelling and grammar. It's a great setting, but it was also written by a closeted gay man - A lot of the faggotry shines through.

FUCKING DO IT!

>On an unrelated note:

Is there anyone who has any real experience with running a quest with a fucking dark setting?

I just want to know how much dark is acceptable for dark fantasy.
Not entirely grimdark, but more along the lines of a bit lighter Berserk

>>1184157
I agree completely. Setting details like the QNA and Mal often seemed forced.

Rights for gay people is a fine theme to explore. Making Nova Jesus an immortal plasma fag is a bit much. I blame the 90s.

As for spelling and grammar, I'm posting from a phone and don't currently care very much. Your point is noted however, and I will try to keep my spelling and grammar correct.

>>1184067
>The problem is that /tg/ only really plays one stereotype, the man-in-woman's body who is hot-blooded, who punches everyone, and is always straight-talking.

Literally one of the AAA vidya stereotypes. All that's left is a Borderlands-style character pastiche with "humor".

Come check out Lovecraftian Detective quest! Adventure this mysterious town as you search for Sandy, who disappeared under mysterious circumstances and horrible nightmares.

>>1184228

>>1184175
Dark settings are so easy to accomplish.

They just require a level of consistency people underestimate, if you're going dark places thematically, events need to always feel influenced by that darkness. - I;e if you're running a quest where the character is doing despicable shit all the time regardless of morality, start showing how jaded and fucked up it's making them. Start throwing 'normie' situations at them and then trigger their PTSD from being a fucking psychopath 24/7.

Tldr- Point being if you want to stick your epeen into grimdark, go balls deep or run away.

>>1184286
Roight.

That's not really what I'm after but the jaded thing really is appropriate.
How about the character just barely noticing it when people around him are torn to shreds?

Do you think that'd accomplish the same effect?

>>1184296
That's exactly what I mean. Showing how it fucks with the PC is important

>>1184300
Yeah I've been doing that for a while now.
My players told me I can pull off depression, dread, fear and anger just fine.
So I have the basics covered.

I'll just have to amp it up to 11.

But do you think it to be appropriate to have ''normies'' around the MC to juxtapose him?

>>1184066
Actually I can and will. Back on /tg/ EVERY TIME it came up, less than half were lesbian if you included the ones who never had romance in their quest. Otherwise it was maybe 50/50 at the best of times and always leaning towards straight FeMCs.

I know it's how you write your turd of a quest, but try talking out your ass less.

>>1184085
Someone already did that with Magical Girl Noir Quest, so go for it. Hell, MGNQ found its way onto TVTropes, hard to be more cancerous than that.

>>1184435
Lol for someone accusing others of talking out of their ass you seem to be an expert of making somehow coherent noises with your own flatulence.

Now go back under the rock you came from you faggot and don't show up with your low quality bait of yours, faggot

>>1184446
I like how your post said nothing at whereas mine both refuted your claims AND called you the poorly written fixfic faggot that you are.

Maybe some day you'll be relevant instead of bragging about false praise and things that never happened.

>>1184491
Oh you are just fuckin' adorable!

Do you honestly believe I'll waste my time on you?
Honestly these 30-ish seconds are a stretch already.

But just so I'll end you rightly I'll say this:
I don't have to say shit because idiots like you do such a wonderful job of making everything you say safe to ignore by judging a quest without even reading it.

Maybe once you stop being a faggot who can only say ''STOP LIKING WHAT I LIKE REEEEE!'' people will take you seriously.

Until then I can safely say that you are a faggot and I won the argument because I'm right.
