Whirlpool Quest returns in 3 days at most

>>666696
>Did the players ever do anything you never expected? What happened?
Diplomancy route, some unexpected third-way solutions and making good use of the fact that the MC can integrate objects into her suit

>Where did you get the art for your quest from?
Paint.NET and Google Images

>Do you trust the anons of your favorite quest to make wise/good decisions without you?
"It depends"

Shit nigger, I don't trust MYSELF to make wise/good decisions.

> House & SurveyDominion

See the spoiler, we good.

> BQ

Is dead at long last. What fucking retard picks 5 math courses in one semester?

> Sith Apprentice Quest

Better now that more people from the first arc are coming back, and remembering that we play a diplomancer who uses stabby diplomacy a lot and is generally pretty happy and positive instead of edgelord, but still a Sith and all about that. Still kind of an edgelord, taciturn or arrogant when he does talk and all about absolutely crushing opponents. And the S&M threesome. Damn it, read the archives otherwise he comes off as a total edgelord.

> RE: Monster Quest\

It's going to end up with the MC in a very lacy spider dress. But that's just fate, not the players fault.

>>666696
>Did the players ever do anything you never expected? What happened?
Not me, but a friend of mine who introduced me to questing allegedly tried to start a Death Note Quest that got derailed by everyone making the MC burn the book.

As for me, I write by the seat of my pants so the point of the matter is that most of what they do is unexpected because I rarely plan more than one or two updates ahead, if at all.

>Where did you get the art for your quest from?
Deviantart and Safebooru.

>>666696
>Did the players ever do anything you never expected? What happened?
We waifu'd Incog, which I was not expecting AT ALL, mostly because I started her personality off as clingy and annoying and generally not good at the game.

>Where did you get the art for your quest from?
Google searches as needed, and a very based player who did some image editing.

>Do you trust the anons of your favorite quest to make wise/good decisions without you?
I don't really have a choice, they make dumb decisions no matter what I say.
Lookin at you Bully Quest

>>666696
>Do you trust the anons of your favorite quest to make wise/good decisions without you?
HAHAHAHA, oh god that's a funny one. No. I follow Trick's Westeros quest, and shitposting options either win or lag behind by one or two votes

>>666696
>Player Question
There's only a few of us and I feel we've wised up to most of the QM's trap options. So I generally trust them.

They also murdered the fuck out of a bunch of homeless people.

Honestly, I thought you guys were going to ditch her.

Plus you made her pretty handers/rape-y sounding so personally I just didn't want to get knifed.

If your next arc requires players to make a certain choice in the beginning for all of your planning to work, should you railroad them into it? By writing the OP as such that the players are forced to take that route? Or is that being too Velo?

>>666696

>Did the players ever do anything you never expected? What happened?

Everything that happened in the first thread I made. It was an extremely fun clusterfuck, I wish I handed it better though.

>Where did you get the art for your quest from?

I draw it. Drawing is fun.

>Do you trust the anons of your favorite quest to make wise/good decisions without you?

Yes, they are smarter than me so they usually pick better alternatives, I'm just happy enjoying the ride while voting.

>>666970
Have all your prompts look different but ultimately lead to the same thing.

Like a Telltale game. Only the anons will never know cause they can't replay that part again in your quest.

>>666886
I wanted her gone the second time we got date raped. The first was a dream so whatever. Now I'm just waiting out the macross arc, sorry just not my thing. Love your stuff though!

Can I ask a question to all the QM's?

On a scale of Never to Banished Quest, how often do your players make decisions they know are bad decisions?

>>666696
>QM Question

Read my quest desu senpai.
Also ace my secret hidden boss in the academy long before I ever expected.
Also make me fan art.

I just cycle through cool art I found on the internet.

Also how's everyone doing today?

>>666970
I usually go with this >>666986

>>666724
>I don't trust MYSELF to make wise/good decisions.
I feel like all of us are torn between hoping someone else has an answer, and terrified that anyone else will have an answer.

>>666996
Somewhere around Banished Quest, they just walked in on what sounded like Asuna and Kirito -FROM THE ABRIDGED WORLD, WHERE ASUNA IS A YANDERE- having sex.

Granted that's not what was actually going on, but still, jesus people.

>>666970
If your planning has any set prerequisite choices you're already railroading, as train conducting of the mind is all the same difference from a player perspective.

They might be okay with it. If not, you might be better off framing it as a natural choice for their character through whatever flaws they have, and present it as a situation that the players/characters flaws resulted in which they now need to address it. A side effect of that may have players changing their character to prevent it if it's a repeatable situation. It's still choo choo, but it's hidden because the results are managed character-centrically.

Alternatively, have a standoffish or asshole character make the choice for them or try to force it. It really depends on the situation, but keep in mind all of this is going to be obvious in hindsight.

Safe Haven wil be returning in just an hour

>>666724
Yeaaaaa not even going to defend the threesomes, I just kinda gave into anons whims.

>>666866
Can confirm that first bit

>>666724
It's pretty annoying how the players circle jerk about how cool and special using "joy" as a sith is when really it's just kinda stupid

>>666996
Closer to never then Banished, but I've literally had anons say 'fuck it' when they vote, so it's for sure not Never.

>>666696
>Did the players ever do anything you never expected? What happened?

In an old quest they made the MC a middle aged Congolese refugee. Fizzled out from time commitments and lack of voters.

In Ninja Monk Quest, they made the MC a practitioner of skills used almost exclusively as plot devices in the canon Naruto series. Still happening, though I have several directions I think the story could go.

I enjoy it though, makes me think on my feet and is a break from the everyday math.

>Where did you get the art for your quest from?
art comes from what I can find, no artfags :(

>>666996
Probably close to never but I can't really say. Anons seem to just roll with my punches.

>>666696

>QM Question

Reading my quests to be honest. Also buttering up to being the BBEG's fuck-toy in my new one I run I guess.

>>666996
The Mask and intimidating Lucky were not bad decisions.

>>666696
On a regular basis. Well over time they have gotten even smarter and more regular about it.

Reached the point where they knew how to annihilate entire mega plots with but a single post...clever bastards. I ain't ever seen something like that in other quests but its becoming a regular thing with mine. Seriously man I swear its becoming ever more common and the only good thing is it takes them awhile to concoct it all the while they pay very close attention...if this keeps up my only hope is political game. Wars haven't been good to me ever since they somehow transformed into tactical genius. Even when I used Nightmare level challenges that they chose. Was expecting a slaughter instead they regularly annihilated the enemy with ingenious plans which even bad rolls couldn't stop. I was equally parts proud, horrified, and impressed. I remember when they used to be a bunch of dumbasses...which was years ago now that I think of it. Holy shit i been running for far too long.

At least it takes them awhile to come up with their insanely good plans...though I find myself questioning my own ability. Despite the claims I am such a bastard with how insanely complicated and interlinking web it is. They are getting quite good at taking apart said webs.

If they keep this up though its only a matter of time before they manage to take down one of the big boys. Can't say I am not looking forward to it as its going to be very interesting to see...hopefully by not seducing the goddamn BBEG this time though. Never before would I have imagined waifuing would be a legitimately good strategy in my setting. Those lovely clever bastards...

Google and artfags if I am really lucky.

>>667106
I thought OP said no shitposting?

I kid, but they were stupid decisions. Like turning down Atma's (or whatever his complicated name was) offer to be a disciple. So was the Crown. And not killing the kid.

The worst has to be turning Chryssa down.

>>666696
>Did the players ever do anything you never expected? What happened?

I think the bigger question is to ask if the players have ever done something you actually expected.

>>667125
What quest do you run?

>>667125
>>667141
I too would like to know

>>667134
Stupid decisions, insofar as companions have called them out, sure. But I would argue against them being labeled as bad decisions.

After all without that hostage situation escalating things then how else were we getting off Namek? Cleverness? Doubtful.

The Crown was a productive limit test, and I imagine the armor will be similar given its history. Further, not killing the kid was a positive mark on Mikael as a character.

Turning down an offer for power and minced souls was certainly a let down, but I'd put it more under playing a character that prefers noncommittal shortcuts.

>>667136
Not really, when I was running on /tg/ my players were quite predictable.

>>666696
>Do you trust the anons of your favorite quest to make wise/good decisions without you?
I don't trust myself or other players. But I do trust the QM to pull off a tasteful, satisfactory, or entertaining update. And really, that's all I need.

>>666696
>Did the players ever do anything you never expected? What happened?

I didn't expect them to play catch using their teammate's sister as a ball.

>Where did you get the art for your quest from?

If I do, the internet, I would prefer to make my own because I feel bad trying to take things and make them my own, but I have no artistic ability.

>QM Question
The whole fiasco in my first thread, when I accidentally said 'roll 99 to win' on a crazy write-in a player made. I took the only route out left to me and pushed onward to the next thread. I try to remember that and keep craziness of that degree from occurring as much as humanly possible.

Currently possess a folder of over 10000 maid pics, which I use as headers. I've commissioned art for my MC, though. My art skills are....extremely bad
>Player Question
Yes, and no. I've been the bad guy with horrible rolls in the past, but I'd like to see all maids in every quest be met with a good ending.

It's just pictures. My quest has nothing to do with zombies, necromancers, or vampires. We've had hobos that drank blood like vampires, psychics, telepathic men, and experiments gone wrong....but none of the prior three. And a lot of guns, knives, bullets, and explosives. Or was there explosives...scratch that, we've as of yet to blow anything up with explosives. Here's the MC.

So MSPQ isn't running today.

I am dead inside.

So how would people feel about the protagonist of a fairy tale for a quest they knew bad ends were around every corner? The goal being to get to the happy ending or be a moral tale for children trying

I really like maids. Is there a sin in that?

>>667327
Five gigs of them is kind of sinful.

>>667327
10,000 pics seems like you have an obsession

>>667323
It would be interesting if the prompt was only two choices, write-in and the "direction that will continue the fairy tail to your demise" option.

>>667340
>direction that will continue the fairy tail to your demise
Now that's just mean I assure you the hag has your best interest at heart she just needs to know your whole name is all

>>667340
The aging queen just wants one drop of your youthful, vigorous blood. What could possibly go wrong?

>>667327
There's a pretty thick line between liking maids and having 10000 pictures of them.

>>667001
Might as well ask here: What are the downsides of the joy method of using the force in your eyes? Because it seems kinda broken to me.

No, I'm honestly more curious how you'd explain the 5gb folder of 10,000 anime maids if someone ever accidentally found it.

At that point it'd probably be simpler explaining away a porn folder of the same size.

Write ins are hard on the players who are unfamiliar still and QMs if you don't know what your getting into.

I speak from experience. Write ins have become my players favorite weapon.

Mostly because they know if they try hard enough they can throw me off and make unexpected things happen. Usually to their own benefit.

I will admit a big part of it being my unwillingness to say no. I just wait to see if their idea pick up steam and modify the DCs accordingly.

Good enough plans can even null ugly rolls and devastate the game in general. Like the time they seduced the fucking BBEG. I never expected such cohesion and clever planning for the sake of an waifu while ignoring everything else. Credit is to where credit is do though it not only got the job done they also got a waifu and happy ever after...just did not see the whole seducing the BBEG coming. Gotta admit I honestly should of seen it coming when they did it again THE VERY NEXT QUEST except that time destroying the meta plot instead of just ignoring it. Should not have made that evil waifu quest a starter option as bait...but damn it I thought I might stood a chance if I knew what I was getting into from the beginning that time around.

So hey that is an improvement...right? They destroyed it instead of ignoring it that time...is an improvement yes?

Now i have the morbid curiosity to see what they'll do with an entire harem who hates each other...but I got the bad feeling they somehow wil figure out a way to weaponize them and find something even bigger to destroy or figure out how to make them all love each other instead of hate for a happy ever after. I don't know which one they'll settle on but my money is on one of them.

Then again I been around long enough for write ins to be the most popular option. Early on they are rare even for my stuff until the players adjust accordingly.

>>667141
>>667157
Super in megacity quest. I just had to vent my players are infuriatingly good at times.

This time around I am waiting to see who they'll go after.

My bet is on Umbra they REALLY hate Umbra for a lot of shit they pulled.

>>667401
They'd be like they ones you find in the color fairy books. Like east of the sun west of the moon, some the old Irish one or maybe some anderson as well

Realistically, what is the minimum you need for a decent quest?

I had been considering starting one since back in 2015 but I feel like i'm too scatterbrained.

>>667584
You need at least four methamphetamines.

>>667595
does adderall count, i'm trying to get a prescription for that soon.

>>667584
at least 1/8 an idea and far too much free time.

>>667584

An interesting set up or scenario to start things out with.

A vague idea of how things will proceed. Don't have anything set in stone, 'cause anons will fuck shit up.

Not shit writing. Doesn't have to be amazing. Just don't be garbage.

A willingness to put your foot down and say "No, players! That's stupid!" at times. But also be willing to say "Yeah, that's pretty cool/fair. I'll allow it."

Honestly I loved the characterization of the setting SWTOR provided, and while I know anon is going to get supremely booty blasted, I liked Force Awakens a lot. I've watched the original trilogy a fair number of times as well.

I'm much more in love with the setting and the ideas behind it then any one piece of work desu. It's why I give so little regard to some of the the things George Lucas has said in regards to the setting.

>>667584
An interesting idea and the ability to improv. It involves a lot of the same skills as being a GM, which I think is in part why quests flourished on /tg/ for so long.

>>667617
I mean, most QMs need some kind of stimulant. But most use caffeine.

Well, I have an idea for a thematic and general vibe I want, but it's pretty scatterbrained I guess. I can GM but my games are generally very loose, despite players assuring me i'm good at it. My strong suit is apparently decent NPCs, but I don't generally believe them.

To put it plainly, i've got ideas of things I want in it or to happen in it, but not an actual cohesive force.

So either I can go with my thinly veiled "This is just so I can have guns, vehicles and general aesthetics I want" quest or just do Kamen Rider.

I can honestly say a lot of the same. The narrative structure of the original trilogy was about as perfect as it gets....add the layers of the universe-building done on top of that....

Thank god for star wars.

Force Awakens just couldn't fail. It was pretty much a new star wars film built using the same thematic skeleton as A New Hope, but with the funding of Disney behind it.

Did you ever see the Star Wars animated series directed/created by the same guy who made Samurai jack?

Question for QMs, do you find that players prefer prompts or writing in their own responses when given the chance?

I've done my whole quest without prompts, allowing the players to go open ended with their options. They've liked it so far I think, and I've enjoyed and been surprised by their creativity.

>>667919

I used to in my last quest, but then my players said it was faster to give optional prompts.

They were right about it being much faster. Occasionally I do get other options chosen, so I think its a good balance so long as the choices are not placebo choices.

Ayyo Librarian, where you be man? Hope you well man. Take it slow I guess

I really like write ins. The problem that I have with them is that it can take an age for people to come up with one, and that it takes forever for them to gain traction.

If you're going write-ins only on minor decisions, you've fucked up. Those things are just not interesting enough to justify it. Save them for big dilemmas, or selecting dialog at critical moments, don't use them when your character goes shopping or whatever.

Nothing wrong with a healthy mix of prompts and write-ins. I also like to use prompts only for totally binary choices where there's no compromise available.

>>667919
I generally do prompts, but with an option for writeins, and the players are generally free to modify said prompts. It's largely for ease.

>Did the players ever do anything you never expected? What happened?
They put up with my incompetence. I still haven't figured out why they would do that.

>Where did you get the art for your quest from?
Danbooru and Pinterest mainly.

>>667919
Both! Offer prompts to keep the flow and guide the players while being open to write-ins from those players who are extra invested in the quest / current events. Sometimes players may want to add their own touch to the prompts given, sometimes they want to do something completely different from what you thought of, and as long as it's in character then everything's perfect.

I know as a player I absolutely love when the QM acknowledges my attempts at adding to the character through a custom line, so I try my best to show everyone at least a little love, even though it can be hard sometimes. My players are really good at getting into the mind of the MC and I wish I could reward them for it more than I do.

>>668171
>I know as a player I absolutely love when the QM acknowledges my attempts at adding to the character through a custom line
This annoys me so much. Not all players can tell when they're being in-character, and most write-ins for speeches will be not actually in the character's voice. It's especially awful when the GM puts in the speech without changing it. MCs are not meant to be ventriloquist dummies.

'Adding to the character' means 'being OOC'.

>>666696

They characterized the MC in essentially the opposite direction of what I'd anticipated, leading to an entirely different tone of quest and development.

>>666696
>QM Questions:
DeviantArt and as a distant second Pinterest

>Player Question:
Yes. Generally, anons are quite capable.

But: Long running quests attract new players too, who don't know the whole story, so they sometimes decide on things that don't fit the MC... some discussion solves that though.

Jokers can be annoying but don't infest many quests often.

>Did the players ever do anything you never expected? What happened?
actually no, so far everything has been within expectations

>Where did you get the art for your quest from?
drawn with mspaint and a mouse

>Do you trust the anons of your favorite quest to make wise/good decisions without you?
most of the time. some times they are raging idiots.

>>668194
Well I hope you're not one of my players then, if you're not happy with the way an MC is written. If you have a disagreement with your QM about whether or not the MC would do a thing or say a thing, you should really put that to voice and hopefully prompt a civil discussion about the matter. A group of people will never have the exact same image of the MC, but you should at least be looking in the same general direction, and if you're not that needs to be cleared up!

I was wondering whether you give the players options on what to do or let then wirite whatever they want? I like just letting them put whatever they want because my quest Infinite dungeon quest only has like 3 players.

Lemme know what you guys think of this.

>Dead End Academy

You're an orphan, a failure at school, and the government is going to change you to a different support plan, and enroll you at a boarding school you've never head of before, Sunnyside Academy.

Which is effectively a kind of prison.

There, you quickly discover that you're going to be armed and being trained to be a child soldier to fight against the "Eldritch", otherworldy beasts which regularly spawn near school grounds to assault it. Along that, you're also forced to recieve constant experimentation and drugs which grant you superhuman abilities, along other, unexpected results. Being granted Eldritch contamination is commonplace, and while it grants you amazing powers, it eats away at your mind and flesh, slowly deforming and killing you from inside.

You goal is to at least not die, not ruin your body and life too much, and escape or graduate, and leave all of the horrors behind.

On the other hand, I don't think there's a quest out there that I feel for the MC as much as Valen Quest. I just want us to do well so badly, and feel so bad that we keep fucking up.

Like, I just care so much about it as opposed to most every other quest. Like, DLQ is okay but there's never any real feeling of failure. Dying and shit yes, but we all know we're on rails for like 90% of the quest.

Valen quest makes me feel like my choices and especially write-ins are important.

And I keep fucking it up.

"I tried to be." Goddammit if one line in a quest has ever made me feel so bad before.

>>668378
If you have Android, find Infinite Painter in Google Play.
Sketch your picture on a physical piece of paper.
Take a picture with your camera, make sure there's no shadows and the lighting is good (you may need to hold the paper up with one hand, or tack/magnet it to a wall).
Open Painter, load image as a layer.
On the top layer, trace your line-work with a thin ink or sketch tool; or brush if you want that sort of aesthetic. Throw in color too, if you like.
When you're done, delete the photo base, and voila, it's like you made a fresh picture.
Yes, you will make mistakes, especially if you just use your finger. But you'll git gud with practice. I'm actually thinking about running a quest, and I plan on using the afformentioned methods due to plain, photographed sketches looking like manufactured ass, and due to not being willing to settle for pictures on the Internet (damn stubbornness).

> Did the players ever do anything you never expected? What happened?
In RE: Animated (rest in piece) the players decided to talk to the manticore rather than just going straight for the throat. This ended in them getting a manticore mount, which later became a hellfire infused dire manticore through the capricious whims of the gods of battle.

> Where did you get the art for your quest from?
I love Larro's art, and request it when I can. His style is very simple and cute. I've also commissioned plenty of art from LimeBreaker, who is extremely talented (though I try to warn people he draws a lot of furry and hyperdick futas).

Also, for those who don't know, I've started a new quest and would really love sharing it with as many people as possible. It's called Gorgon Child Quest, and much like the name would suggest, it's the story of a tiny snake haired child and her giant, gorgoness mother trying to live on the fringes of human society.

It's kind of cute, slice of life.

>>669278
Don't know if its good but for my quest *cough* Infinite dungeon quest *cough* I use 2d6 for attacking if its over 4 we hit. almost never miss and 1d20 for random stuff. If we get a 1 its critical fail 2 to 9 fail 10 to 19 success and 20 for critical success. almost never fail

Is requesting art on 4chan reliable? If I were would it be better to go to a /tg/ drawthread or just go to /wsr/?

Drawthreads and requests are fairly unreliable, since nobody is under any obligation to take up your request. But, well, it doesn't cost you anything so you can keep asking if the first time around doesn't work.

If you want a reliable, consistent way of getting art, you either draw everything yourself, attract a drawfag to your quest, or commission a relatively reputable artist.

As an aside though, sometimes you can have random drawfags passing through that are INCREDIBLE - see pic related (it's not even done, apparently!). But then again, you can also get hideous bad stuff. So it's sort of a dice roll, but free art is free art.

>>669368
If we had enough drawfags, it'd be a good idea- simultaneous provision of art and advertisement for quests.

Um... How do you roll...? Is it roll and then the "+" (number you allow like a d20 or 100)?

It's my first day on this part of the site. Ultra noob.

>>669396
"dice+XdY+Z", without quotation marks.

X is the number of dice, Y is the number of the dice, Z is any modifiers.

Unfortunately, as me and the poor readers of CDQ found out, you cannot roll multiple types of die (say, 1d6 + 1d4) in one post.

>Do you trust the anons of your favorite quest to make wise/good decisions without you?
Generally, yes.

Every once in awhile though, fuck no. It's mostly a thread by thread basis, actually, more of a quest by quest basis. Every once in awhile a quest will attract one or two mega-autists that will shitpost nonstop and completely derail everything. These same people will show up in every thread just like the rest of us, except instead of just sort of talking and participating like civil people, they will fuck everything up over and over.

I used to think that one or two bad apples in a quest wouldn't make a big difference, but every once in awhile assholes derail threads, the atmosphere becomes tense and shitty because of them, and when that happens constructive discussion nosedives and things go awry.

By and large though, I do trust the average poster. I'm just saying there are a couple of literal pieces of shit that are bent on ruining everything.

It makes perfect sense in context, and though I understand that people circle-jerking about how unique the character is can get kinda annoying, it's perfectly fine because that's just people being really hyped and pleased with the direction of the character.

It's like saying people that are really happy with their new cars are circle jerking just because they're talking about it. Maybe they are, but generally I'd prefer to think of that behavior as endearing more than anything else, it's bitter as fuck to actively bitch about it.

People are going to want to talk about the stuff they like, it's not a fucking surprise. Matter of fact, it's probably the sign that the players are engaged, at least more so then when everyone is berating each other over shit that pisses them off.

Here's a question for some players.
Are there any mechanics or concepts you haven't seen explored in a quest that you might like to see?
Settings, tropes, relationships, ect?

So we have writefags and drawfags for quests but has there been any other kind of fags that do stuff for their QMs?

I remember someone actually buying a figure for a QM or was that a rumour?

>>671222
There's a lot of trust implicit in something like that desu senpai.

Writing and drawing is really all that can be accomplished in the given medium without the exchange of some personal info.

>>671209
I need more civie builder Brine. Hook me up senpai, sith warhound breeding cage when?

Not for a while. You need credits, and a place to store them, neither of which will be available for a while.

>>671372
Well, specifically 'enough' credits.

>>671209
>Settings
There's not really enough OC settings in general in my opinion. Most settings are based off existing franchises or are just aping broad schemas. Basically, we have lots of quests based on specific anime, and a lot of quests based on generic anime concepts.

I respect the balls it takes to run something wholly original, but nobody fucking reads those quests because they all want to eat up what essentially amounts to fanfiction of settings they've already seen before (Not talking shit about your Star Wars the Old Republic quest, but that's an example of a quest that is essentially fanfiction that people are eager to eat up, that's just how it do. It be how it is.)

>Tropes
No real opinions on this.

>Relationships
True comrades. Think Johnny and Gyro from SBR. Not enough quests really do that, and if they try they don't usually do it well.

If you look at something like, say, Homeless Mutant Quest's JJ and Lara, that's an example of it done well. The characters rely on each other and regularly have each other's backs, sometimes over conflicts that the other character has no real stake in beyond their teammate caring about them.

A lot of the time in quests the NPC's become supporting stat blocs with no real arcs of their own, I'm not about that.

I think NPC's should be more than just plot devices, if the players are capable of getting attached enough to someone specific that they feel like they can't operate without them comfortably, or that they actually wish they were around to have their backs, something good has been achieved. Esprit de Corps happens depressingly seldomly.

That's also part of the reason characters end up on harem routes a lot; when all the npc's feel like tools to be utilized, the players don't feel any particular kind of loyalty to anyone and just do whatever they want, not wanting to be held down.

But as far as teammates and allies are concerned, being willingly "held down" by them is actually a good thing. It means people give a shit.

>>671399
No offense taken, truthfully I agree with you, I had two stabs at OC quests, which I started in tandem with SAQ which I sadly started just before the two times I've gone dark.

Now that I know I have a reliable reader base again I think I might start the more recent one 'Steal Back the Stars Quest' back up again.

>>671478
Just realized how fucked up the structure of that first sentence was, lets try again.

I've run two seperate OC quests, one just before the first time I went dark which was Sell Sword Quest (the tale of a Fantasy Nord who travels to Fantasy Japan after being banished from his village to make a living). The second I started just before the second time I went dark.

>>671478
>>671490
Yeah, that was so many months ago I actually forgot they existed and that it was you that was writing them!

Did we ever actually get off that rock in Steal Back the Stars? There was a lot of potential there.

I can't remember what happened after we were fucking up that shack full of bad guys in Sell Sword Quest, I assume that's around the time you stopped running it.

Also, badass viking shield-maid (male) and Gambler's hat master race, burly vikings and tricorn peasants need not apply.

>>671512
We never got off the rock, but we were getting there. And I agree, I have a deep and throbbing passion for pirates, and they feel so right in a sci-fi setting.

Shack full of bad guys is basically where it ended. I would honestly bring them both back, but I know wouldn't want to dilute the frequency of SAQ that much.

>>671525
Well, I'm not gonna recommend you a course of action because I don't know the limits you have and I'd hate to tell you to inadvertently become a stress hermit again, but I will say that Steal Back the Stars was pretty dope and I'd like to see where it was going.

To be honest, I was actually more interested in that one than in Sith Quest back in the day just because it was so fresh; I already know everything about the Old Republic's universe, takes away a bit of the joy of discovery which is something that space games should theoretically be all about.

>>666696

>QM Questions:

I'm honestly amazed that all two of my players have stuck by my quest(s) for so long, especially as I was a heartless, clueless idiot that would cause shitstorms left and right when I was first starting out.

Aside from getting lucky with my last quest getting two pieces of fan art, I get all of my art from Da Interwebs because I'm an ideas guy that has no real artistic talent and no drawfags read my quest.

>Player Question:

It depends on the quest and the playerbase. If it were MHQ I would be mostly certain that the players would be doing the right course of action until Cain Labs pulls a 180; If it were Not So Glorious, less so.

Also, how my house didn't get burned to the fucking ground, I will never know. But, I'm in here late to announce that The King of Fighter's Quest: Reborn #12 will most likely start tomorrow (10/8/16) at the usual 10 AM PST/1 PM EST/5 PM GMT time.

>>671209
>mechanics or concepts
Not exactly city, but culture building. Creating the infrastructure/motivation to change the lifestyles and practices of your ants-I mean people.

Inventions. Cobbling together junk and scifi-jargon into questionably plausible tools. I guess my main problem is that I dislike "works on EVERYTHING, FOREVER" type loopholes. I prefer that everything is janky and accepts mechanical impracticality in favor of doing really cool shit, rather than every single item breaking the game and making actual combat pointless.

>Tropes
We'd had a lot of Unreliable Narrator and unintentionally becoming evil, but I wonder about the other side of Corruption. You are being Corrupted, you can watch it as it happens and track the progress, and you have to do X while you still can/it's still important to you.

>Relationships
Twins and Triplets. Not necessarily natural ones, since you could get clones or something, but the dynamics and interactions they can provide.

>Settings
Floating Islands are still dead as fuck. The longest running quest that had it didn't have much of a following and died a slow death.

We need more 20 minutes into the future AR stuff. Battle Network, Netrunner(sort of), Appmon, blending the virtual with the real.

Tribal/Village settings. Education and Religion are nearly one and the same, and a lot of mechanics are closed to you simply because your characters themselves do not understand most of the underlying concepts. Smaller scale conflicts that make give back the awe in continent-wide events.

>>671729
Well, I'm starting a quest set on floating islands tomorrow, in case you're interested. Not an original setting, though, and the fact that the islands are floating isn't focused on much. Still, it's something.

Literally no one gives a fuck about the trips in the General thread, get over it

And filtered, hooray for IDs.

If you are going to make a seriously long post to sit up the thread you could at least including an interesting picture or copypasta. Fucking amateur hour, go back to shitposting school kid.

>>671876
enjoy your safe space!

>>671855
QTG lost its teeth long ago, unfortunately. It'll only get worse.

>>671875
Well if no one cares then there's no problem with them posting without their trips, correct?

Good. I'm glad we've come to an agreement.
Thank you for your time.

>>671879
Calm down, please. I'm just trying to steer these QMs from the wrong path.

>>671863
Didn't you 'disregarded' folks get mass banned like the losers you are when you went after poor ol' Planefag?

Sorry Johnny but you got BTFO. Can't come back after that.

>>671892
So?

We were banned by the same moderators that created this board in the first place. If anything, I'm honoured to have been banned by them.

It shows that my ideal - a tripfag-free QTG - is worth fighting for, if the powers that be are afraid enough of it to censor all its proponents.

what is the ultimate QM taboo?

>>671880
It's not that safe Trick, I don't filter your shitposting.

>>671932
posting with your trip on in /qtg/

>>671939
<3

>>671932
Don't let your players vote on a big decision and then say "are you sure?". They will instantly change their mind and not go with the original plan, even if they rolled a nat 100 with a +10 bonus on top.

>>671946
I only do that if i think there is misunderstanding of idea

>>671946

Someone's salty.

>>671954
Just having a laugh honestly. It's fun to stir the pot

>>671946
That's not a taboo, more like rule 1 of QM manual is don't let anything happen to protagonist.

>>671932
Posting with your trip on in QTG

>>671957

Very true.

>>671855
Fuck you I did mention talk about that my quest returns in 3 days at most. Looks like someone doesn't read. And in the other post I was trying to avoid mistaken identity.

>>671381
So what your saying is rob a republic or neutral worlds bank of all its gold? Also do we get a paycheck?

We all have IDs. Might as well use trips.

>>671959
As in like, harm?

Quick gauge of interest before I think about starting a quest.

Here's the premise:

So you're the eternal bro of the chosen one, been friends forever, he's the meeker one, you're the explosive hammy one. Thing is while you're real fucking strong, the MC's chosen one abilities continually power up both him and everyone else in the group, excluding you.

So the party's like 2/3 of the way into their adventure, but you know they're planning on dumping you at the next town because you're just so far below their superhuman abiltiies that you're just a risk to them now. Though they haven't outright told you so, you know it's gonna happen after this one last quest, so you've got just this time to prove you're not a liability to them and/or get a power up or you will get dumped when you reach the next town.

>>672037
Sounds dumb and gimmicky.

3/10

Good for a first quest since you're going to drop it and quit QMing maybe five threads in at most.

>>672037
If it has enough postmodernistic genre awareness I'm on board.

>>672037
The premise itself sounds....adequate. But the way you're presenting it gives me a less than optimistic feeling.

It feels closer to standard shonen than standard jrpg.

>>672037
How well do you write individual characters and character interaction? Because beyond powers or whatever the setting entails that's going to be the determinant hook for this premise.

>>669502
Brine, you leave that poor young man alone

>mecha space pirate quest
>all this autism about GMs and Zakus

How did such autism snowball in a quest, and how did it even attract such?

>>672103
Because it's about mecha, and the QM's computer melted so he ain't gonna be back until next week. Need something to talk about in the meantime.

Hell, one anon expounded on the politics of Brazil because we went "why not" when we asked if he should

So yeah, I think I'm about to hit a payday on Monday when I take off work for Monsieur Columbus Day when I run KUAT COLLECTION QUEST.

It'll be a pilot of sorts to see if people are actually interested in Shipsluts x Star Wars ships.

Well I love the fuck outta Star Wars and almost everything about it cough suncrusher/yuuzhanvong/TOR/anythingbykarentraviss cough. I think my only real problem will be translating it to Kantai Collection.

I only played KC for like a month before I got bored of it. The RNG and the having to wait for everything I want got under my skin.

Naka's great though, I love her.

Dude, ignore the game. Literally everybody does - fanfic author, artist, QM, everybody. Make up your own shit about "Star Wars ships turn into young women with tremendous amounts of firepower"
