>Qm Question: What dice system (if you have one) do you use for your quest and why?
3d10 where two of the dice needs to meet the DC, Best of 3. Did it because after playing around with some small things in the first thread, that's what I settled for.
Might change it soon to 1d100 with more modifiers to allow more bonuses and for them to be more important or maybe the same system Soma uses for his Asoiaf quest, but we'll see.

On another note, Hero Guardian Quest returns on Friday, the 19th of August. I want to run the first thread of this new Arc through the weekend.

Bo3, sometimes Bo4, 1d100. It gives a larger chance for success and allows for hilarious outcomes.

>QM Question
Each of my quests use a different mechanics because I'm a schizo little shit trying to find the best mechanics to match the themes and tones of the story.

>Bonus Question

The one I'm most excited about is Yuki from BioArmor because she's angry and impulsive and I can see the players putting her on either the remnants or the rebel sides.

The one that's my favorite is S-Anon from Sibella Quest. He's self conscious about his leadership, immature, and way in over his head but its charming how he really does try to get everyone on the same side even if he screws up along the way and winds up beating up his supervisor.

>>474136
>its charming how he really does try to get everyone on the same side even if he screws up along the way and winds up beating up his supervisor
I guess I won't be reading your quest

>>474240
To be fair there are not a lot of quests where the players don't try that at some point. Haven't read Sibella Quest though, so I've no idea how it goes.

whether you're a player or a QM; what quest ideas would you like to one day run/play?

Catholic church wants the MC to get information from vampire princess waifu about where she's been the past year.

She doesn't want to talk about it and implies it could hurt her family and get them in trouble if she does.

Archangel boss is not pleased. Sends a catgirl nun to be his advisor and make sure his Catholic vampire hunter cell doesn't fracture.

They have a meeting with everyone in the cell. Its friendly but has a tense undercurrent. The tension builds to a head as the MC and catgirl nun but heads over potential new recruits. MC made a not so judicious call and gets called out on it. Catgirl nun wants to spar after the meeting to work our their frustrations about each other.

They sit down and talk civilly after the meeting and show mutual respect. Then they enter into a spirited sparring match that the MC is winning (so far).

Meanwhile their angel partners are flying above them talking about life, the war in heaven, the proper treatment of demons, and other philosophical stuff as the silly mortals beat on one another.

I do hope it sounds better in context. Please tell me if it does not.

Would have ran the rest of the fight today if I wasn't sick as a dog.

I usually prefer a narrative approach in my Quests, which means very little dice rolling on the part of my players. Generally I'm just not very good with mechanics and all that.

I want to run a mecha quest involving a company of private mercenaries going up against an entire alien race bent on mankind's destruction. The Alien race will be Humanity's better in every way, and the only chance mankind has is the twelve robots the mercenary group discovered in ancient ruins on Earth. There is a different end-goal outside of beating the Alien Race, but that will be discovered after the war has progressed somewhat. But first I need to finish Hitmaid.

Don't use dice because I was dumb and couldn't figure out a good way to incorporate it in. I might in the future, but for now there's no dice rolling. On a similar note, starting again today!

Quest where you have to kill the various gods of the pokemon universe because of the power they wield and how easily that power can be captured.

>>474284
Oh boy where do I start.

More Cape World stuff. I was thinking one based on controlling and operating a super mini submarine used by a super hero named BLUE CRAB. You'd explore sunken cities and fight sea monsters and ghost pirates.

Another one with a super hero named RAT PACK which is hive mind of intelligent rats that have mastered origami and take their little Secret of NIMH/Rescuers city with them as they move. They protect New York's sewers which in the Cape World setting is like a more extreme Underdark. Some individual rats have weak super powers that can be shared with the hive mind to produce powerful results. One rat can throw tiny sparks. But when he shares it through the world mind it acts like a flamethrower with every rat attacking.

I was thinking one mechanic would be every anon get their own rat with a tiny semi-useful super power. Anons vote on mind melds and group tactics.

Another one would be a quest where you play as MAGICAL WOMAN, one of Cape World's magical girls from Japan. She's like the Professor X of magical girls. She helps them adjust to the weirdness of the job and helps them resolve differences and work together as a team. Think what if Cardcaptor Sakura grew up and helped the kids from Madoka. That's what the quest is about. A lot of feels, a lot of tenderness.

And I am going to finish Baron Bizarre one of these days.

Cape World quests will be a thing.

Any of this stuff sound interesting?

1. Valkyria Chronicles - Imperial Penal Battalion Quest (Almost ran this, but decided on Star Wars Fortune Hunter instead)

2. Star Wars Imperial Inquisitor (Really want to get back to running this, but Observer hasn't been sighted in months)

3. Baseball Quest (cuz baseball)

There's a bit more stuff, but those are the ones I can think off the top of my head.

The maid from Maid Quest.
>>474284
I want to run a mix of both alt-history WW2 with strike witches. The premise being that Nazi Germany and the rest of the Axis are in a much better position than they were historically. However due to how brutal the Axis has been many of their witch covens have fled to allied countries, leaving the axis with a small but very fearless and fanatical force of witches, and are forced to use very advanced conventional aircraft to bring the odds into their favour. The player character would either be a witch or a normal aviator.

Of course I would have finish my current quest before starting this next one. But I will keep the idea in reserve for later.

New here, any rules/guidelines on how long a quest should be?

>>474296
Let's just say that's not a good summary. Lots of buzzwords there that set off a no reflex, like 'vampire princess waifu' or 'catgirl nun' or 'archangel boss'

Can you imagine an archangel boss standing by the water cooler?

>>474414
Well he's an archangel. And he's our boss. Not a lot of ways to say it.

It is a waifu quest, so if you don't like the idea of vampire waifus you will not like this quest at all.

Relic Quest is now up and running again.

>>474284
From my current to-do list:

1- Persona: The World Quest. You are the MC of a Persona game, but your Arcana is the World instead of the Fool. Someone somewhere is doing something to literally stall time so that it can no longer move forward, and you have to find out who they are and stop them. I'd like to say more, but it would involve massive spoilers.

2- Gundam Reclamation Quest: Doesn't actually have anything to do with any Gundam franchise, but it's so similar to Gundam that I decided to tack the name on. Over a century ago, the industrial colonies rebelled against the Terran Hegemony. The Hegemony gradually turned into a military dictatorship, so the remnants of the civilian government plotted with the colonies to shove both their militaries under the bus and start over. Most of the ships were destroyed in the final battle, but some where unaccounted for. Now, the exiled remnants of the Hegemony's fleets are back, and they want to ruin the ongoing peace and wreak vengeance on everyone in the heliosphere.

3- Metal Gear: Lost Children Quest. You are a child soldier. You had a shot at a civilian life, but you gave it up so you could return to the battlefield where you belong. Not sure if it would have an overarching plot, or just episodic merc stuff.

Maybe another original anime quest like HGQ? I got some ideas floating about in the back of my head.

Despite my reservations towards fan fiction quests, I'd also like to run a Star Wars quest some day since I'm still an avid fan of it. Who knows, if Observer doesn't come back, GermanSchteel might humor me with his Imperial Inquisitor Quest that he ran for a short time with the aforementioned some day. It'd be interesting to write a quest that shares the universe, some characters (Not MC of course), and maybe some plot points with another.

One of those "magical girls in WW2" quests, except the MC's more like a Golden Age superhero than a magical girl, and the tone is either the pulpy-yet-serious kind from Hellboy, or something closer to Uber

>>474728
>Magical Girl in WW2

How did that become a thing anyway?

>>474805
I know only of that Dieselpunk Magical Girl quest, and another called Magical Girl Liberty.

I imagine the concept was more inspired by Strike Witches, which revitalized interest in the idea of "WW2 with anime girls"

>>474805
some people must have watched or read 'Hellsing' and incorrectly thought Sera's needed to be throwing around more magic and be sparkling.

my response, FUCK YOU! this is world war II, if there's going to be sparkling stuff it better be bleeding at some point. bleeding and crying over what could have been, before being killed by something non-magical and completely normal, for world war II will always be a focal point in HFY.

Cute girls doing combat things has always been sort of a trope. And WWII is the largest conflict in recorded history, so it only makes sense that the two would be combined at some point.

As for the MAGICAL girl part... Well, we just don't know.

>>474805
I guess that people just wanted to defile the usually happy magical girl trope by mixing it with WW2. Pretty hard to be all happy and smiles when the holocaust is happening along with all the other atricities of WW2.

And also because strike witches kinda did it first, witches are magical so they are "magical girls" in a sense. And the whole strike witches setting is modelled slightly on WW2. So there is that link.

personally, I find a disconnect in superheros and magical girls. one of these things is just too idealistic in the wrong way. (its magical girls) not to say that superheros are completely not guilty of idealism, but they at least played up a bit of "if we don't who will" mentality.

history bit. superhero comics were also used as small propaganda piece's to varying effect based on who you ask.

Very true. I guess I had a brain fart there. So yeah, WWII Magical Girls are basically just old-school comic book superheroes. With magic and (white phosphorous)sparkles.

>>474826
Hey, I did Magical Girl Liberty.

Was planning on turning it into a book but I keep running into snags.

>>474826
>>474832
>>474850

I'm surprised no one has done the obvious and make the magical girl an Imperial Japanese super.

Maybe it can be apart of the background of the MAGICAL WOMAN quest I got brewing in the back of my head?

Speaking of which I was thinking its plot could be about a New Magical girl fighting the same breed of nightmare monsters the MC did when she was a kid. Complicating matters is the fact that the territory is usually protected by a Shisa-girl who sees the new magical girl as moving in on her territory.

The MC has to help the two get along while instructing the new magical girl in the ways of magic.

Would one new magical girl be best or should there be two like in Precure?

>>474932
hmmn, gritty teeth clenched magical girls. where getting killed is every bit a possibility as getting out alive and body counts in the hundreds are an absolute certainty. that skirt shall not be left unbloodied and friendship will NOT be enough.

do it Gene, give the genre some respectability.

>>474867
>>474893
>>474906
Well the thing is WW2 Golden Age supers brutally killed enemy soldiers. Even Bucky mowed down Nazis with a tommy gun.

Magical Girls don't really go that far in terms of darkness. They fight monsters or evil shadow demon people. They don't kill "real" people.

There's also tonal friction in how magical girls are girls in frilly outfits that shoot rainbows and hearts while WW2 supers are soldiers draped in flags and muscle men suplexing tanks. One group inspires awe on the battlefield the other "wha?".

Even in the silver age and beyond supers always had to confront the idea of killing people. Think all those Daredevil vs Punisher stories. Think Gwen Stacy. Think Supreme Intelligence.

Magical girls to the best of my knowledge have never gone there.

>>474981
Madoka is basically the number one thing that does have people die though, as well as Yuki Yuuna has that concept as well

>>474981
I go by the fact that it was very easy back in the 30s-40s to "other" people, i.e. dehumanize them. Americans back then absolutely despised the Japanese, Nazis, Blacks, and anybody who they thought weren't American. And of course it's the same with the Germans and their holocaust thing.

With Magical Girls who are young and impressionable, it'd make sense for them to not really realize the implications of actually killing someone if they understand that:

A. The person was trying to kill them.
B. They were just a Jap or a Kraut or a Mook.
C. It's for the country.

Based on the Man O War Comic - You are a warrior, born of the (TBD) people. The Romans seek to enslave and destroy your people. While you fight to protect your homes and families something even worse lurks... (Sci-fi, Medieval, Ayys, Barbarians, adventure, Ultimate Armors)

Burning Skies - You are a simple miner. Day in and day out you spend time on a mining colony located on an asteroid/planet in the XYZ whatever the fuck sector planet. It's a simple life. Wake up mine, go on break, mine, break again, mine, sleep. Rinse and repeat. The money is good although the life is tedious. But you soon find out that not everything lasts when the sky breaks in half... (Sci-Fi, War, Soldier)

Warden - Monster attacks plague your village/town/city. Yet no one seems to care. The victims are treated as if their wounds and ailments are natural. The destroyed buildings and ransacked farms are the results of natural disasters. But you know the truth. You've seen the monsters lurking and skulking around... You've had enough. (Fantasy, Medieval, Magic, Monsters, Shitty version of totemist)

Usurped - You are warrior, scholar, outlaw, bandit, fugitive, hero, liberator, pretender. There are many titles people would give you, but there is only one who has any meaning to you... Prince. (Mercenary, High?Low? Fantasy, Medieval, management?)

Subject 456 - Based on a shitty writeup I did in a random test thread on Qst. Don't have a synopsis beyond it's sci-fi and vampires

Dragonborn - Your homeland burns. Brother against brother, sister against sister, father against child. War has come to Skyrim and with it something much much worse. (Oh shit nigga yous the Dova)

Spartan II - Six-year-old son, child, loved one. Sixteen-year-old Corpse, Weapon, Tool, Machine, Human, Something else, Something More, One of the remaining Thirty-three. What you were is irrelevant. What you are is moving at near sub-sonic speeds into an "uninhabited" canyon. The insurrectionist have planted their roots in Loman's Canyon. Tear them out. (Oh shit nigga yous a Spartan.)

Knowing my dumb masochistic ass I'll probably do them all

>>474981
Ooh. I just had an idea. What about Cold War era Magical Girls? They would act as black-ops and spies for both sides, where they would really only encounter each other in direct combat. Then there could be a plot line of a group of Magical Girls from both sides who were abandoned by their superiors in the name of deniability, so they formed their own thing sort of like the bad guy in Skyfall. There's 50 years worth of cool stuff that could be covered in a quest set in the Cold War.

>>474971
Well the MAGICAL WOMAN story was supposed to be a heartwarming tale about the old imparting wisdom on the young and how mutual respect can overcome jealousy and insecurity...

Now Magical Woman's grandmother fighting in WW2 would be a different story...and it would provide a back door into introducing a lot of Cape World ideas. We sure had a lot of good ones about WW2. Pele fighting Amaterasu over Pearl Harbor, Mussolini making deals with Moloch incarnated as a god of Futurism, aquatic spies based on a 1920's cape called the Fisherman infiltrating an enormous German sub designed to reach the lost world of Thule...

I got a few questions.

Would you guys rather I run MAGICAL WOMAN quest about a grown up magical girl helping the new breed or TAIYO SHOJO quest about her grandmother that fought for Japan during WW2 as the "first" magical girl?

Also, what would her name be? "Sun Girl" is tentative because I'm thinking of making her a shrine maiden for Amatersu. Any good ideas?

>>474932
>I'm surprised no one has done the obvious and make the magical girl an Imperial Japanese super.
There was one in Magical Girl Liberty, but she was a mercenary/defector.

And the Army-Navy rivalry means you'd have them killing each other in superpowered fistfights tearing up downtown Tokyo. If Japanese TACTICAR BRIRRIANCE doesn't get them killed first.

>>474971
Have you ever watched Madoka Magica?

>>474981
>how magical girls are girls in frilly outfits that shoot rainbows and hearts
Well you got Madoka Magica for all the grit and guns, and Nanoha is basically a mecha anime in magical girl form. Starlight Breaker's sure to inspire some awe.

>>475063
Yes there was, Magical Girl Lightning, the Japanese Magical Girl with a greedy streak.

I'm here all night, I'm loving this discussion of WWII-era Magical girls.

>>475005
Don't know about Yuki Yuuna. Madoka had that witch thing but its not the same as "Do you shoot Baron Zemo in the face for being a prick? How far do you go in stopping bad guys?" It was more a mercy killing in Madoka.

>>475007
The potential TAIYO SHOJO quest is going to have that. Starting out she doesn't really "get" that she's roasting people alive. Her powers make it easy to be detached from combat. She sits back and makes things catch fire from far away.

When American super human soldiers start bringing the fight to her however...

>>475036
I dunno. I don't think we should get too carried away with this. What's next, Congo Wars Magical Girls? Pirate Magical Girls? Old West Magical Girls?

>>475063
Tell me more about the Army Navy rivalry. I could do something with that in TAIYO SHOJO quest.

>>475063
Madoka was a psuedo-dark soap opera. As for Nanoha yeah you got me there.

>>475073
Besides enemy supers what else could I throw at TAIYO SHOJO? "Exile form a magical world" was a common theme in really old magical girl stuff like Magical Meg-chan and Sally the Witch. Maybe I could do something with that and have her find out she's the designated rival of a kami princess who hates the world and the war its having and wants to get her trails over as soon as possible so she can get home. The military wants you to capture and recruit her though.

>>475116
>I don't think we should get too carried away with this.
Anything worth doing is worth overdoing. Besides, you could put magical girls in any setting if you really wanted to.

>>475116
Depends on what you feel to be honest. In Magical Girl Liberty I threw a variety of enemies at her in pulp fashion. It was usually Nazis, but it was either Nazis with anti-magical guns, Nazis with regular guns, Ghost Nazis in Dreadnaught suits, Superpowered Nazis, Nazi Magical Girls, Nazi Magical Girl hunters, Nazi werewolves, Nazi baronesses, and Nazi dogs. Then there were Japanese soldiers riding T-Rexes fighting Nazi war mechs.

The feeling I went for was a pulp action 30s feel with no real regard or attempt for realism. I just went with what was fun at the time.

Though, I do actually like the idea of someone who has to learn to appreciate the world around her and the implications of why we fight the war. I don't see WWII as HFY as someone earlier pointed out, there's nothing really HFY about humanity beating the shit out of each other, even if it was a relatively black-and-white cause.

>>475153
Well it's not really HFY. I mean we're working for Imperial Japan and they want us to get the kami princess by hook or by crook to join up and help us kill Joes.

I do not have a light hearted quest in mind. The epilogue is you as an old woman declaring your daughter to be the first Magical girl because you don't want your legacy to taint her own.

>>475116
>Tell me more about the Army Navy rivalry. I could do something with that in TAIYO SHOJO quest.

You got the 2-26 Incident. Army tries to launch a coup against the government, Navy stops them, but most of the guys behind the coup get shielded by powerful people and a fuckton of power is put behind the military, subsuming the civilian government.

Then there was the time of "government by assassination" where secret societies and conspiracies like the Dark Ocean and the League of Blood assassinated key political figures that got in the way of the military.

>Besides enemy supers what else could I throw at TAIYO SHOJO?
Mythological creatures if you want them, maybe some of the shadowy vigilantes that were famous at the time, like imagine the Shadow, the Spider or Operator No.5 taking on the magical girl with nothing but wits and skill.

>>475209
Ah I see.

Frankly speaking, I do think the concept of downtrodden and darker Magical Girls is kind of overplayed, at least in Quests for now. The reason I ran Magical Girl Liberty was because I wanted to subvert that a bit with high flying action and derring-do over noir-ish existentialism or whatever.

>>475276
> The Shadow, the Spider, Operator #5 being villains in a Magical Girl Quest, using nothing except wits, skill, and zany gadgets.

But I really want to see this. You should even throw in Doc Savage too if you REALLY want to go full pulps.

>>475292
Oh they're definitely going to show up. The odds of us getting our ass kicked and captured are pretty good.

It started not too long ago in '11. Last thread was May and the QM is just a tad notorious for long breaks. It's standard run of the mill fantasy, nothing special about it. If you do review it please go easy on it, it's not especially popular.

I don't participate in a lot of quests but...doesn't this happen in a lot of quests?

>>475462
2014 /tg/ was a different era, désu. More players means more likely to have player not familiar with too many quests.

I've decided I'm going to run Bioweapon Quest Redux in the near future! This is the setting info I've got so far: http://pastebin.com/2jdETfGL
Any comments? Obviously it's mostly background stuff that won't be relelvant, but given the nature of the kill-eat-getstronger cycle of the quest, I think that having a strong basis in reality (Re: things to eat) that things should flow a lot smoother this time around. I can just describe someone as a 'parrot-splice' and people would get what it is and what sort of biomorphs it might offer when eaten.

>QM question
That's this evening's work! I'm fairly sure I'll do it as a d12+modifier system, with biomorphs granting +1 or so to relevant actions. Having springy legs would be +1 to jump, for instance.

I used to be pretty crunchy with my votes, but now I generally just hang back and add in extra dialogue only if the mood feels right, or if there's something witty to say that keeps the MC "In-Character".

The whole quest will be from the eyes of a non-human. But dont expect a happy ending for the MC. There's a reason this will be a one-shot.

Yo. I gotta problem.
I'm pretty interested in running a Quest in a pretty gun-heavy setting. The problem is that I am a gun-moron.

I know next to nothing. I picked up very little from vidya and I'm concerned some anon will jump down my throat for getting my facts and or terminology wrong. I don't know the difference between a magazine and a clip. I don't really know how gun fights actually work. If someone could give me the basics, just enough to not make a fool of myself I'd appreciate it.

If it would take more than several bullet points and a paragraph could someone point me to where I should ask?

Mind you, you don't NEED to know a whole lot, since most people aren't super bothered when a few small things aren't correct.

If you want realistic warfare that can pass on a quest, just watch ARMA gameplay.

If you want to do tacticool shit, read stuff like Deniable Assets Quest

>>476085
>If someone could give me the basics
> how gun fights actually work

That's like asking how war is waged. It depends heavily on the time period and setting. Because firearms have changed drastically in their life span and will continue to change.

First question. What is the setting of the quest?

>>476099
/trash/ has a good reason for existing and was implemented well and with very clear intentions.

>>476110
Setting is Fallout.

>>476122
If it's fallout then you can get a pretty good idea of how gunfights work just from playing the game, with the role of guns determined by their quality.

Crappy guns are more of an opener before hand to hand combat

Higher quality guns are a primary weapon

and almost everyone is packing something.

If it's Fallout, you don't really need to worry about the realism of the weapons, since the setting is inherently silly and over the top. Just base performance off of what you see in the game and nobody should complain.

If you really want to learn about guns and some history, try looking on Youtube for Tales of the Gun. It's old sure but it does have a lot of good stuff, history, some physics and guns.

>>474284
Rock Hard Gladiators quest, there's a lot of quest fuel you can derive even from what is essentially an animator's donut steel fighting pit.

Dark Souls Empire Quest, much like Vendrick you're a fledgling ruler who has to claw his way from being almost massacred to owning his own kingdom. Of course, by beating four important bosses and a handful of miscellaneous ones. And there will be a sequel where the MC will traverse its decrepit ruins.

There's also an Adventure Time fanfic quest (using an original cast) to recycle the neglected notes I have. In fact, just about any series that is "OC-friendly" (leaves enough room in the background for heroes of other stories to come up)

I would honestly like to see this. They made a really interesting setting with a cool backstory, then wasted it on their main cast.

Normally I don't use dice, and go with the most popular choice or most entertaining. Though when i do use dice its the classic /Qst/ 1d100 standard.

I do almost exclusively write ins unless the action I was going to take is already listed. It makes the quest less scripted so the QM doesn't end up being the one playing while everyone else sits back and watches

Also he usually ends around about my mid-morning, which is perfect time to start questing for me.

>>476443
>best smut quests
all of them depending on taste? http://anonkun.com/smut
>best
most smut? Or plot in between smut? Seems to me that stories with one or two lewd scenes are still best!

>>476487
>all of them depending on taste?
Don't be lazy and just say 'everything' because I've tried looking around and most of what I've found isn't very good.

I want hot fucking with sexy characters, plot heavy or plot lite doesn't matter so long as the action is boner popping. I want the best of the best in lewd questing.

My personal favourites are:
Filthy Smut Adventure – Best smut scenes and smut writing. Rape. http://anonkun.com/live/Filthy-Smut-"Adventure"/-JUVN8H2uGlPs3BwbDbA/home
Depravity – not so good in terms of smut, but it's a story of an eldritch rape tentacle loli taking over the SPAAAAAACE with the power of lewds, body modifications, and being absolutely fucking overpowered in-setting. And being probably the most OP quest MC period. Come on. http://anonkun.com/stories/depravity/ya9v6ZAGRYNnoT9ay/home
Evolving – the tale of Blorp son of Blorp, the greatest slime of all time. Probably the comfiest and most pleasant smut quest on Akun. It is great. http://anonkun.com/stories/evolving-quest/ZYsrjWTYnJgZ8s42B/home
Blank Slate – very good writing, interesting plot, cute main girl, reading this poses a danger of a heart attack. Literally make yourself a waifu with the power of magic and raise her. http://anonkun.com/stories/blank-slate/home

Except Depravity, all of them are dead. ;___;

Also, you might want to check out World of Lewdness, the latest incarnation of The Duck. The writing is decent, the smut is good, but the playerbase if ducking unbearable and it's stuck in the cancerous "lose for smut" hole. Unless you donn't know, it's a "boy turned into a magical girl" story. http://anonkun.com/stories/world-of-lewdnessbr/7vXhBwKTNz6JPcB8N/home

>>476505

>>476505
Man, what's with smut quests being overpopulated with female mcs? I want to fuck the girls, not be the girl.

>>476513
FSA and Blank Slate have male MCs. Evolving has a male(?) slime MC. And Lilith does plenty of fucking herself.
So I don't really see why you are complaining.

Not reviewing quests yourself better than him is one thing.

If your going to bitch about not reviewing the entire 50+ thread quest, than you should have to review someone else's entire 50+ thread quest. Otherwise, shut the fuck up. I'm tired of this poorly constructed complaint here.

I'm curious about how authors prepare for a session and keep the updates going at a good pace. I've been considering trying a quest here but I'm absolutely terrible at having a consistent update schedule.

>>469289

>What dice system (if you have one) do you use for your quest and why? If you don't use dice, why not?

I use an extremely semplified version taken from a tabletop game that uses mostly d6. to reduce extremes to minimum i switched between adding more dice to the rolls to simple fixed bonuses.

>Beacon Hunter is Kill

>>476844
fantastical things are easier to write. have you seen all the people in here asking for details on different universes / asking for information about weapons/industry/time periods? it's just not as much effort to do magic because you can explain literally any illogical thing away as "oh that's just magic"

Alright, votes are in. Scalies it is! (Note: all selectable races were going to be the varriant we are sick of or hate. This is no exception. If all goes well, we might even see this become a regular series from either point of view. See ya all on Saturday.)

>>476989
It's also easier to resolve plot tangles with magic.

Gangster stories or political intrigues are fiendishly complex. Beating things with magic is simple.

And fight scenes are much easier to keep exciting with magic, because otherwise you have to keep finding fresh ways to swing a sword. You can't choreograph like a movie.

>>476844
>How do you make non-magic stories interesting?
Lots of character development.

Oh, and fighter jets.

Ay yo my fellow questers, I'm a player of this quest and I'm having some nice casual fun with it but I gotta say that I don't think it has good archive reading potential to catch up on the success and world impact of other players. Right now it's still very noob freindly so literally anyone can join at any time, but I was just wondering this for the sake of this new quest I love:

How possible is it for this quest and quest type to be successful overall? What formats can be used to increase enjoyment?

At the end of the day this is an experimental quest with a lot of potential, at least I think, especially for creative and dedicated players. But its a shame that archive reading might be discouraged due to the nature of the quest.

I'm starting to get really worried how defensive people have been getting over their Quest Campaigns.

You're grown men. You can take it on the chin and not slobber, come on. Whether the reviewer likes it or not, it's their opinion and their opinion alone.

Personally, you really shouldn't give two shits about what other people do with their Quests. There's no right way to run a Quest, only a lot of wrong ways and they all revolve around the QM fucking things up.

Personally, criticism is fine, it's a second perspective. But blindly following what everyone thinks is wrong with your stuff is going to drive you mad, I tried to do that in the past and it almost killed my drive to Quest. I do it for fun, if someone has a suggestion, sure I might throw it in if it makes sense. But overall, we're here to have fun.

What I'm saying is that it's completely natural to be defensive of criticism. It's healthier than just opening yourself up to it and allowing every nobody and their mother to give their two cents.

Just curious, but what quests are you guys watching or getting involved with?

and What do you look for in a newly made quest?

Velo shot himself in the face by getting caught playing his own quest. He breached the trust between QM and Player. It's extremely hard to come back from that.

You shouldn't use him as an example, he's an extreme case.

>>477498
Velo wasn't the victim of criticism. you were the victim of trying to railroad the quest and getting caught, there's a very large difference.

and yes, this is a Velo accusation, with very little evidence but I'm still making it.

>>477436
The true way to respond to criticism is to shitpost incessantly and deny any pretensions of quality. It is the preeminent tried and true method for more than half a decade, and applies to all internet based author/artist content. People being defensive are just showing how much they care.

>>477468
>What do you look for in a newly made quest?

0. Is run on /tg/ or by a QM I know.
1. Promising mechanics and identity.
2. QM has twitter.
3. Engaging characters.
4. Original or at least cleverly stolen work incorporated into an interesting world.
5. Update pace of at least once an hour.
6. Player activity that shows other people care enough about the quest for me to know it won't be dead in three days.
7. QM doesn't pull punches and abuses player logic.
8. The QM does not reveal half the potential twists in a prep session/conversation. You know who you are.
9. It's fun. I rank this low because quests don't have to be fun, a lot of good quests are actually just miserable experiences pretending to be fun, and sometimes that's better than having fun.

>>477522
you don't deserve a second chance if you try white knighting yourself in /qtg/ and getting caught in the exact same manner.

See, here's the cool thing about 4chan. You don't actually have to fill up the 'name' field with the same thing. You can make a new name, and thus become a completely different person.

The ID system does mean that you need to refrain from posting in any threads you posted before and out yourself, but that just requires a bit of thought.

If Velo wants to run something again, he can do it without getting shitposted by changing his name. Become Olev or Oscar or whatever.

God, it's like another EGO.

>>477615
>>477612
>the Velo is always here meme
Tbh right now i am believing that one of you guys is Velo with a new technique. Pretending to be a retard so that the people defending him sound even more reasonable.

Alright, I feel like I should chime in because I'm an attention whore.

I actualy never asked Velo for permission. Mainly because I didn't know there was a discord to talk to him and the last post from him I saw was him saying "I'm giving up this quest permanently and will not run it again, don't even try to convince me to run it again after this, silly players~~"

And while apparently that was just a front and he was planning on some level to start it back up again I erroneously took that statement at face value and chimed in saying, hey, I want this quest to happen so I'll run it so it happens.

And your little autist friends can back you up but Velo was still the best

>>477643
No one cares, you arn't fixing anything you attention whore

the reason why he was really killed is because the drones of people worshipping qms are hideous here. Why do qms even still have their trips and shit on in /qtg/? It doesnt contribute to the conversation here once so ever

hmn, I'm wondering if Godwins law applies to velo on /qtg/ now?

>>477634
It would be a matter of time before someone found out again, and the cycle would begin once more and even harder this time

>>477668
People only find out when the QM is an idiot and reveals it somehow.

>>477668
>It would be a matter of time before someone found out again

How? It's anonymous, he'd have a changed name, a different ID and everything. The only way someone could find out he's Velo is if he just said so, or pulled a Velo and screwed over his players and got caught like he has before over and over again.

Guys, my quest is better than all of yours meshed togueter. In fact, I'm a better person than any of you.

EGO actually ran some good quests until he killed so many by thoughtlessly revealing himself or by expecting some ridiculously high turnout for first threads for OC quests and then complaining about fanfiction popularity in the QTG.
Or just killing things by making them get progressively more excessive.

I also remember giving EGO the idea for Sea Monster Hunter Quest but he tried turning into an AoPH-clone, kind of disappointing. The concept of hunting Sea Monsters on the high seas was cool enough on its own.

>>477737
>>477725
You know, honestly I think EGO was his own biggest enemy. Verbatim. I never held a grudge against the man, and I enjoyed a few of his quests...but he cultivated this cult of personality where he was the villain and he rode it.

>>477761
My experiences with EGO tell of a guy who constantly digs himself into a hole and makes no attempt to stop then complains about being in a hole.

I'm sure he's a nice guy, but holy shit, he'd have an easier time if he'd do things a bit differently.

I got pretty upset when he made a big deal about planning a thread and telling everybody he'd be there, and then asked me to take care of the thread for him. I said I would, since I had a basic interest in the setting and we'd chatted a bunch about this specific quest.

I ended up studying his previous threads so that I got his writing style down, made sure to look back through the chat logs of our discussions over the past few weeks, look through all of the setting info we had, stressed about things, and then ran the thread.

He killed the quest within days after my thread.

Follow the advice of this anon. I would suggest
One Man Permaban Quest as an entry level quest into this writing hobby. It's a parody of OPM, but it has excellent writing, in-depth characters, and good QMing. Check it up in the archives and good luck!

>QM Question
>What dice system (if you have one) do you use for your quest and why? If you don't use dice, why not?

I use a d20 dice system for my quest in tandem with a point-pool system as well as a momentum system. I only use d20s in the case of Rumbles and events that have a skill/stress variable attached to them. In any case only the two highest rolls are counted (unless a Nat 1 rolled) and each of the two rolls are rolled against a primary (stronger) and secondary (lighter) DC.

There're also various variables that can be tacked on to increase or decrease the difficulty in hitting those DCs that the players are mostly in control of.

Each Rumble is made up of Die Rolls, Success/Failure Pools, and Rumble Resources (player managed).

Modern Tank Witches, where you're either a tanker or a witch who's deployed to [country] to keep the neuroi in check. Thing is, the neuroi haven't done anything since the end of the previous war, so it's a pretty boring job At least for the time being that involves a lot of staring at nothing and the occasional exercise against the Russians. Yawn.

Delinquent Magical Girl. Something closer to your average magical girl story compared to the Bizarre Adventures of Victory. You play as obviously a magical girl, who's also a delinquent. Things haven't changed much from when you were just a delinquent, and you use your powers to shoplift, or fight idiots (i.e people who insult your hair, threads, or chest) It isn't until some creep with weird powers tries to kill you that you try figuring out what's exactly going on, and y'know, do magical girl stuff.

First Intersolar War. War breaks out between the inner system colonies and outer system colonies, lead by Earth and Jupiter respectively. The Innies have more resources and men to throw into the grinder, but the Outers have stellar geography on their side. Jovians have bases and installations on many of Jupiter's moons, and have control of the Asteroid Belt, making it extremely difficult for the Innies to launch attacks into the Outer System thanks to the VC esque Belt Defense Force, which make it a nightmare to traverse the Belt. And even then, the Innies would have to planet hop through the Jovians. Player would either be an A-Team esque squad of commandos tasked with breaking through the Belt, or BDF irregulars raiding Innie ships.

>>478220

On the day before I run, I wake up, grab some breakfast, take care of any chores, then spend as long as I can stand half-writing the OP of the next thread and thinking how far the story has progressed/where it might go.

On the day I run, I take a shower, drive to work and bullshit my way through my day-job while running. It's getting harder to find the time though...

>>477462
That's true, to an extent. However, most of the times people told me they didn't enjoy something about the way it was written or how it was going, my usual response is:

"I'm sorry that it wasn't something you enjoyed. What did you dislike in particular?"

Then I try to inch in a direction and see how it holds, you know? Like any other sane DM on a tabletop session.

I don't spazz out on someone for not liking it and say that they're wrong for having an opinion on something I've written up.

I didn't think more than a person or two would have been explosive about it. I mean, damn; /co/ and its WOYA and HYW have better reception to criticism than qtg at this point - and /co/ is already /co/mblr.

My quest, RE: Animated, is up if anyone has the interest. It's the story of a skeletal bard brought back from the dead and now hellbent on making the most of his time back on earth, helping people and right wrongs.

>>479068
The worst thing about QMing is frankly trying to shift it on the go. At least with tabletop sessions you can actively argue and discuss the next course of action or gauge the mood. Here, it's a little bit harder to do.

For one, you're not writing a story, but a recollection of experiences that you want to drop the Quester(s) in for a good time. For two, it's heavily text and visual based instead of an audio-visual experience with direct interaction and a human factor; in essence, you're just typing back out the outputs.

Gauging this is what separates a good QM and a bad QM.

Personally, I run mine like a DnD session because it's the only way I know how to run things.

>>479068

I don't know how much my two cents is worth honestly. I'm not a huge name QM or anything, but I've run games in real life, followed a fair chunk of quests, and written my own for a little while now. And in the end, I think that I've found that both situations have kind of similar do's and don'ts.

Principally speaking, quests and campaigns are about imbuing your players with a sense of agency and purpose. They should feel like their suggestions are a core part of the way the story develops, and never feel like the capacity to make meaningful decision has been taken from them. Whether it's in the things they say or the little details they add onto voting prompts, seeing the inclusion of those specific ideas builds investment, and it can be well worth your time early on in the game to build a proactive nature in the audience by creating challenges meant to test their creative thinking by encouraging them to find out-of-the-box solutions or put nuance in their solutions for better results.

This kind of leads into QM personality, which is an extremely arguable point. However, on the whole, I've found that being argumentative or authoritarian breeds contempt. You have to be malleable and respectful to expect your players to follow suit, which involves treating their ideas in the most charitable and fair way you can manage with regards to their intent.

>>479106

Bottom line or tl;dr is just:
> "Treat your players like you would want to be treated."
> "Make it clear that you want everyone to have a good time."
> "Work toward that goal and try to make sure no one feels left out."

And remember:
> Bad rolls, should still yield interesting results.

>>479106
>>479108
I think you've got it well ban-san. Points right out of the pastebin that nobody ever reads that will forever remain hallmarks of good QMing.

Although I know a rare exception, one I've not seen any QM since pull off closely or at all. Maybe it's good I haven't. The quest I enjoyed the most was run by the QM I hated the most. For exactly each and every one of the positive and negative QM attributes you mentioned, heavily into their personality.
It's a dynamic I believe still carries potential, but alas, it's also likely to destroy QMs that can't make people love their content while hating their guts.

>>479328
>are these meant to be updated a couple times a day for example? or are they meant to be "live"
It varies from Quest/QM. Some update sporadically over a couple of days while others have live sessions at often set times where they stick around for 6-8+ hours, constantly churning out new updates as long as their players are around.
