This is a thread created for the discussion of Quest threads, as well as sharing of advice and guidance for aspiring or current QM's. Posters looking for fun should look elsewhere.
Please do (not) shitpost, and please report any shit posters attempting to derail discussion or cause strife. This means evading tripfag drama or discussion about controversial subjects such as the decentralization of the roman empire.
