Easy, it's the fantasy civ rum by bulgar.

>>772678
Run*

How do you guys like your battle systems in the quests you play? Do you like them to be more number and roll based, or for it to be more about using logic and making the right decisions?

What quest do you think did a battle system the best?

Is there any website archiving /qst/ like 4plebs does for /tg/? Thanks.

>QM Question
As someone who doesn't read civilizations, civ-quests, whatever you want to call them, or whatever special distinctions you want to separate them in, I'm not sure how they run.

If I were to run such a thing, I'd have an MC be a champion of the civilization, rather than a commander/king/chair warmer.
I'd give players a number of champion actions and city-based actions each turn. I read that civs are harder to run than actual Quests, so I probably wouldn't run one anyway.

Still, introspective thinking never hurts, and hey, maybe one day I will get into the subgenre.

Just do it good. That's it. Write well, and people will like it.

Or just go full stupid and get a horde of shitposters for an audience. At least you'll get the attention you want.

>>772944

For fake maturity and fake intellectualism just crib from anime and manga, you'll get all the best westerner posters faster than you can type two full character limit posts.

But there's a better question I have for ya. Would you have fun writing that sort of quest?

Because if you have to ask about what to add for views rather than what you feel best writing you're already spending your time making it harder to have fun QMing.

Does anyone have a link for that Teen Titans quest that was very popular? I have never read it.

Anyway, the idea was to run a Archer (ISIS Agent) Quest.

Just do it, you won't get better by not writing. Also try to read good stuff and think about what they do right, why certain passages evoke emotions. Best thing to do is having someone who knows his stuff go over what you write, but short of that, just reading and writing is also a good way to improve.

If there's specific things you have trouble with (like action or dialogue) try searching for advice, there are some decent guides. Art can help, but is not really required.

One thing I would recommend is thinking of (or stealing) a solid dice system before you begin. It makes your job much easier.

Oh, and another bit of beginner's advice is to avoid complex character creation. If you give anon's to much power it's very to end up with a character you don't want to write, so put your foot down from the start, offer archetypes or just think of the MC by yourself.

>>QM Questions:
>How would you improve civilization quests?

To improve we must understand the problem. Back when /qst/ was just born, there wasn't a lack of civs or cultural evos or risk threads. Most did relatively fine from what I remember. Now I see quests that last one post and they are dead. What happened from the beginning to the now?

I'm guessing the QM was in over their head but that may be over simplifying it. Since there seems to be a lack of quality civ threads the problem could also stem from new QMs looking at civ threads and believing that they could take it up and create something better but without the guidance of a good quality core of civ threads the overall quality has died. There is a definite lack of active civ thread QMs.

From this I blame the summer fags. They were probably the bulk of /qst/'s civ threads and other threads of the sort's QMs and players. Though this is just speculation it is odd that since summer has left us so too has civ threads.

>>Player Question:
>What is your favorite civilization quest?

Saurn118's Quests.

>>773720
It's not going to change, so there's no need to gripe any more. It still feels like a living death, though.

>>773720
No.

It was a horrible decision.

>>773546
no but seriously how should I do this, should I create my own character and force them to be a tank/assassin/mage/whatever, or should I let them do some basic chargen (race/gender, class and hometown would be all I did)

>>773861
Never do character generation.

>>773868
but forcing them to be something seems like the worse option in a quest based on a vidya.

>>773720
Less pace, more like the final resignation of being put into an old folk's home

>>773720
I'm never at peace with anything. No matter the situation, there is always room for betterment.

>>773873
I'm with this anon >>773868, even with a vidya quest if you want an original MC than it's best to make it ahead of time. You could make a few options for characters and let them choose between them though. But the details should either be decided beforehand or during the quest to match how anons see the character.

>>773873
3-5 options that you've already agreed upon wanting to QM.

Too many options is bad. That's what is killing civs.

>>773869

Has a romance option ever ruined a quest for you? Like, if the main character went with a character you didn't want him/her to go with did you drop the quest?

>>773966
No, because I'm not a moron.

>Implying anybody here knows normal conversations and relationships

Is there any interest at the moment for ASOIAF Quests? I would have thought with Father's recent absence there may be an untapped audience, but Dorne Quest always seems largely empty.

>>774320

Anything with good writing really. I suppose I'm drawn to more unconventional roles and shades of gray without it going into full grimderp. Other quests I've enjoyed are Hive Queen Quest, German Hollow, and Peter-Parker Quest.

>>774421

The only quest I can shill would be my own, Alchemical Blade Quest, which kinda matches shades of grey without full shitdark

I'm almost ready to start a new long running quest (I don't ever keep the same trip), but I'm drowning in self doubt

Been a fan of Star Wars since childhood, and I'm about to run a quest with an MC living during the early (Palpatine) empire that doesn't have anything to do with the force (himself that is, not a force sensitive), and isn't a bounty hunter - and I really feel like that loses 99% of the crowd that would be attracted to a SW quest

Hmph

>>774466
Those digits are a sign you need to run that quest right the fuck now

But I'm pretty intrigued by that description

>>774466
So what, he's part of the newly established Imperial Navy or something?

There's a lot of angles to explore, from ISB to Mandalorians to Hutt agents to whatever the fuck you want, and Star Wars is a household brand name. You're gonna get an audience regardless.

>>774466
I'd be interest in it dude.

>>774466
I'm always ready to gargle a little semen as a Twilek stripper.

>>774466

Honestly I've had enough of Lone Wolf Star Wars stories. If someone did a Quest where you were in a military (any military) in Star Wars that focuses on your forces than that sounds amazing.

Instead of becoming the next Boba Fett, make enough/be influential enough that you can hire Boba Fett on a mission.

Haven't been around this scene regularly since the board move. Did the reviewanon ever come back? Also, is that quest chronology chart still being updated?

>>774543
No on both counts

>>774476
Trying not to spoil too much at the moment, plus I don't want to pin myself down to a storyline incase I have a last minute change of heart on where I want to run with it, but you have the right idea that it isn't going to be a "ur a jedi/sith harry" or a "Boba2.0" quest, but I'm also not a big fan of starting in a powerful position, so don't expect star wars civ like you're describing in the end part of your post.

>>773741
Prettty much this. Most QM that try to do civs don't have a clear vision of what they want to actually do, and there is an civ community hanging around the main problem would be QMs ditching their civs. The more originality/creativity from the QM the better the chance that the civ will continue running. You can't really run a civ without preparing for it and that applies the same to regular quests(altough there are certain QMs that can make up things on rhe spot, most need to prepare for it)

It certainly is a ghost town compared to the /tg/ days

Another week? Modern Necromancy Quest was pretty good so far, I think, and it started last monday.

>>775741
Not good, but not too terrible either. Due to the reduced traffic and lack of /tg/ culling, new quests have a harder time attracting readers. And readers have a hard time getting into quests, because they visit the catalog and see a mess.

That said, there are some positives. More QMs are making better use of their catalog space and listing their quests in the general, though many still fail on both accounts. 'Shilling' in this general has become more accepted, as it is a solid method of attracting people to a new quest. So it ain't all bad.

For those who missed the news last thread:
To save 4chan maintenance costs Hiro is now trying to disable 3rd party archives.
First attempt to deploy this feature was rolled back because it messed up loading images.
For more details see >>>/qa/797492 and specifically >>>/qa/797532
That's for the facts.

Now for speculations: To compensate for this, internal archive will be extended and made accessible for Gold Pass users only

I'm pretty sure what he's trying to do would prevent third party archives from scraping images from the site.
So an archive that only saves its images once and then hosts them itself (Like suptg) might bypass it, and I don't think it would prevent the archives from getting text regardless of images.

So an average /tg/ denizen here who enjoyed quests back in 2009-11 but got sick of them during the Great Forced Migration of Quests, how has the Second Great Forced Migration gone from /tg/ to /qst/? To rephrase, I mean how many Quest GMs and Questers have carried on over to this new board?

>>776272
>how many Quest GMs and Questers have carried on over to this new board?
Like 90% of them. Some people up and quit, others moved to Akun, but most just went with it

>>776272
Referring to QMs I mean. As for questers, there's a fuckton less activity than when it was the /tg/ days. Don't know if that's because a lot of people just quit out of spite, or because the sudden glut of quests means their attention is spread thin.

>>776296

I thought it was less overall traffic.

>>776272
64.7 repeating percent.

Seriously, a bunch moved to the new board, some moved to another venue, and some hung up their hats or shifted to different projects (Hellborn's QM is rewriting that story as a non-quest over on Anonkun, for example). No one has bothered to do statistical research and analysis on the matter, so no one is going to have a solid answer to your question.

How would you go about revealing that one of the characters is only real in the MC's head?

>>776897
Have them start talking to the character in front of another character

>>776904
I was thinking of having three way conversations where the imaginary participant would speak but only the MC would ever respond to what they said.

>>776912
You should also drop hints along the way. Like having the imaginary character survive things that would kill anyone else.
The first Black Ops game did that really well with Reznov.

>>776920
I was also thinking they should appear at strange and inappropriate times, when you wouldn't expect to see a person but for them it'd seem completely normal.

And that people would treat the MC as an outsider, but avoid the subject. Until you meet someone completely tactless.

>>776929
You could pull a Spec Ops and have the interaction seem very feasible from the perspective of the MC. (e.g. Konrad's first contact)

>>772634
>What is your favorite civilization quest?

>>777493
Gotta agree that it's a pretty shit idea to break up the entire questing community

>>777653
It was never really a community. A community suggests everyone likes the same things, which is very much not the case with quests.

>>777953
>A community suggests everyone likes the same things, which is very much not the case with quests.

...except we all like quests.

>>777971
Gamers like games, but you'll never get everyone to agree on liking the same ones.

>>777971
That's like saying someone who plays free to play mobile games while waiting to pick her kids up from school is at all in the same category as someone who has built a gaming rig powerful enough to require its own dedicated circuit breaker.

>>776897
Very carefully. Once players suspect such a thing (or after it is revealed), they'll carefully scrutinize all your posts, which means that small innocent mistakes can derail things.

>>777653
I see I'm sorta beating a dead horse at this point, but still: individual quests don't really thrive on community as much as they thrive on writers and an audience interested in the subject material.

Sure, there are people who will check out of a quest just because it's a quest, similar to anime fans who watch at least the first episode of all the anime that comes out every season. But I think most people are pickier than that. So spreading out quests would be anathema to many quests, like nondescript one-shots or 'what do?' quests, but it could also help draw in readers for more demographic focused quests.

At least, that's the theory. These days 4chan is so segregated that I'm not sure how well it would work. The old Bromont Katawa Shoujo quests might not be appropriate for /a/ anymore, because Katawa Shoujo is a /v/ or /vg/ topic, despite being so anime inspired. If that historic strategy Zero no Tsukaima quest was on 4chan, would it be /a/, /his/, or something else/? Would 'what do?' draw quests be /i/ and /ic/ material? This isn't a matter of just having to check multiple places for quests, as people already have to do that (here, anonkun, other imageboards). It's a matter of other people inevitably complaining that certain quests should be on this or that board instead, which is what started the whole mess to begin with.

Ultimately the shuffling of quests has been a created problem. They were spread out, but it wasn't appropriate content (i.e. /a/ quests were not discussing actual anime or manga). So they all got moved to /tg/. But oh no, too many quests! So they got moved to /qst/, mostly segregating them from all but the folks who are already interested enough in the format (or just in particular quests) to follow. So yeah, splitting the board up would cost us the one thing that we've got left that (in my opinion) makes it worthwhile to run quests on 4chan: the community. But would it be a big loss, or does it just seem that way because it's what we have left?

i was told i should link it here. so here it is.

here is my quest.
>>778126

>>772634

I see that there's already a review for Joker Quest, but will it be okay if I write a review for the 2nd half?

>>778270
You mean write an actual review?

Sure, go ahead.

>>778277

Was there something wrong with the first one?

Are there any mature quests for mature people such as myself? So many gritty apocalypse and zombie quests are badly handled crap, so are there any good writers handling mature-subject/theme quests yet? The Preacher and Lucifer shows were a good, mature way of handling the goofy comics, for instance, so how many of them writers here draw inspiration from those prime time or HBO/AMC shows?

>>778278
Wasn't very well done and only covered a small portion of the quest.

>>777653
But it worked before and that's how it came to be? Initially it was related subjects to their related boards, but that went with a hell of a lot more crossover and vagueness than there is now. /a/ quests worked on /a/, /v/ quests worked on /v/, and /tg/ quests worked there. Now, even still, /b/ "quests" work on /b/ (and /trash/ counts too I guess), but those aren't really long term things. Of course most of this is speaking prior to before /a/ & /v/ quests were forced to /tg/ which was some time after the quest exodus that resulted in tgchan, which is an imageboard of mostly drawquests and furry. There was also more recently the smut quest exodus, and the whole /d/ thing whose place in the timeline I can't recall.

But yeah, it worked as it was as far as audience is concerned. There were always shit quests, too, in the same sense that 90%+ of most media is not memorable and is so forgettable that nobody can recall them.

>>778085

All that's left is the cleanup, one or two more remaining plot twists and preferably the obligatory epilogue. After than I can fade away from /qst/ and move on like a satisfied spirit. I feel a mix of excitement and peaceful acceptance. It's almost over, I can be free.

People don't look for quests specifically because they are an inherently parasitic organism within an inherently parasitic niche hobby. People go to them when they're related to their interests and follow the ones of those that are written well or written accordingly.

Also he pointed out why it works and how, and also why it probably wouldn't work anymore; the damage is done, as was predicted of any board split for the purpose of questing since 09 when sagefags argued for it. Thankee sai and have idan glud dib tonkin time.

And it's good to, really.
Communities are not actually for good company or fun times, they're for excluding unwanted and unnecessary crowds. The idea that anyone thinks "community" is an inclusive idea is fucking retarded, and delusional to any who hold it. Much in the same way laws are restrictions up to even the ones that specify rights, they're not kindly optimistic allowances or wishes, they are purposeful limits. It's just conceited people confusing the idea of how they want something to operate with the reality of how it works in practice. The difference for boards is meek, aggregation of content does not equate even a minor sense of neighborly community and that someone could even think so on 4chan of all places is a whole level of dumb that not even that faggot Plato could make a fallacy for.

HERESY

QM of Haven Academy Quest here. Twitter account I made is locked up and I'm trying for NaNoWriMo, so there might not be any updates this month.

So (in Jedi Knight Quest) how cool would people be with me working in some of the new canon? Shit like how lightsaber crystals work now or Jedi initiate clans or how the lightside and the darkside work (although I'm kinda doing my own thing with that already).

I probably won't go completely with the new canon on things, just mix it in a bit where I feel it works better.

>>778463
Oh and an explanation for crossguard sabers (you will have the option to use them but most masters think they're pretty stupid)

>>778317
>still working very hard at ignoring the fact that most players arrive because they see something intriguing and then follow it while browsing their favorite boards
How would players 'arrive' after seeing an intriguing quest, if the potentially intriguing quests are on a board they haven't visited? Unless you're talking about people who followed quests from /tg/, something I had mentioned in that post.
>mostly segregating them from all but the folks who are already interested enough in the format (or just in particular quests) to follow.

My idea? I was just explaining why some people don't see splitting things up to be a big loss. I ain't exactly claiming credit for the college football playoff system here.

And I never said it would make quests easier to find. That wasn't my point, nor was it the point of the post I was replying to.

I think you're arguing a moot point.

>>778464
Why not just use the shit vibroblades are made out of for the cross guards. It'd make more sense.

And yeah using one of those would render all the styles the Masters are training you in moot since it is a different style of weapon with different options.

Honestly they shouldn't let the MC use one. Special snowflake bastards. I bet they don't want a blue crystal too and want silver or some shit from KOTOR 2.

Okay, so I'm thinking that crossguard sabers are actually hastily made on the field of battle. If your crystal is put under extreme strain, it can shatter, causing it to become incredibly unstable. Most Jedi just switched to vibroblades or got new lightsabers but some added exhaust ports to the sabers to try and control the extra energy and then, this one Jedi decides to make a fighting style for it that he thinks can counter dueling sabers (pic related). It becomes a fad for a couple years but has mostly died out at this point because crystals are more available and the form is so radically different from all other forms which makes it a pain to learn and teach.

Oh, and crystals work now by changing their color to suit the user (they turn red because the darkside makes them bleed or something). I'm gonna take bits and pieces of this and use it.

>>778521
>rewriting the entire cannon
No. stop. There are established reasons behind how light sabers/crystals work

>>778538
No, the crystal thing is the new canon.

And for the crossguard saber, that's how they actually work. Shattered crystal and exhaust port. I'm just giving it a history since the movies never really did.

>the form is so radically different from all other forms which makes it a pain to learn and teach.
It's more like the other forms than the saber you posted.

Compare Kendo (standard saber) with German swordsmanship (crossguard saber), then compare it with the dueling saber (saber fencing). There's a lot of shared moves because the blades are similarly proportioned for the users, so there's commonality.

Fighting like Dooku is way different to either of the two.

>>778504
Okay you got me there.

>>778541
Hmm, shit. Might have to rethink it a bit then. I can just say they aren't popular because they are unstable then and leave it at that. Plus, to make one, you'd have to crack your crystal which is kinda hard to do and super dangerous. Since I don't know a ton about swordsmanship, I'll leave that out of the conversation as much as I can.

>>778540
>red crystals
They're red because they're made in machines artificially, luke's second saber is a special snowflake in that regard

Color is dependent on the crystal used, there's no deep meaning behind them for the most part.

>>778553
Nah, Disney retconned that shit. Now the saber "bleeds" if you're bad and turns red.

It actually kinda sucks, so I'm not really going to use that part. Red crystals are still artificially made in that regard.

And Disney also says the user changes the color now. I'm going to put it forward as "Well some people think that crystals gain their color based on the user but we don't really know."

That is maximum retarded.

At least the "red artificial crystal" made a kind of point about Sith vs Jedi. Sith see the lightsaber as just a weapon. They're fine with something made by a machine and it furthers the "withered flesh and life support system" theme they have going on. The Jedi are big on tradition and touchy feelly stuff so they like natural crystals. It also furthers the nature and diversity theme the Stars Wars good guys have.

Yeah, the bleeding crystal is max retarded especially since Anakin fucking murdered a bunch of kids and his crystal kinda just stayed blue. That fucking conflicts with the movies, Disney, you can't do that.

I'm cool with the crystals turning whatever color they are when the user finds them though. I liked it better before but it's not really a big deal and it does give more insight into the relationship between a Jedi and their weapon.

Alchemical Blade Quest will begin in 3 hours and 15 minutes!

>>778689

Fuck off, are you serious?

>>776319
that sounds genuinely pretty interesting! I'll give it a read when I get off of work tonight.

>>778820
We will never see another 2D theatrical movie from Disney in quite a while.

It's a crying shame.

AzureEarth has a problem, he wants everyone, all his players, to have fun. What should he do? It just seems impossible to me, all the good quests have arguing and bickering and shitflinging and arguments, and that somehow turns into fun. How can you possibly have one where everyone is happy?

>>779017
AzureEarth? The guy who killed a protags best friend because they critfailed a rap battle? The guy who responded to the MC's long term actions with with a plot relevant NPC who murdered the MC dead? The guy who ran one of his quests for forty eight hours straight across five threads and then went to work retail and then ran another session afterwards? The guy who, in a RPG mmo anime universe, trapped the players into believing the most consistent mechanic and character to the point the players basically chose to die? The guy who disagreed with one of his namefags so hard he shitposted at them as anon in between updates until said namefag dropped his quest?

That guy, AzureEarth?

>>779039
Yep. That one. Tbh, I'm only aware of the latest quest he's running. But yeah, he's having trouble with motivation because he wants everyone to be having fun.

Tell me stories about the lolae, grandpappy anon, all these sound utterly fascinating.

"STARWARS: A Galaxy in Chains" is back up and running for the night!
>>779109

>>779113
>I think our definitions need ironing out anon.
It's the quests where the players get most involved, most immersed, that they take the most seriously. The obvious consequence of players giving a shit, is them giving a shit. Arguing and wars tend to go with that.

>>779088
Geeze. I don't know where to begin.
I suppose then, at the start, eh?

.hack//AIDA was not his first quest, using a loose definition of quests, but it was the first of his that lasted as long as it did. You can find it here;
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=AzureEarth
It's of course based on .hack.

The second quest Hollow Butt Redux is after that, a Bleach fanfiction quest that operated initially as a reboot of the dead Hollow Quest of fame. It became something more later on, but I've already spoiled as much as is best to.

Now, first, AIDA. This is the "rpg mmo anime universe" stuff I was talking about. It's fairly consistent, and its characters have a certain certainty to their flavor, up to a point. What AE did was add depth, and unfortunately for many players depth and questing don't really mingle- and their choices got them regularly clotheslining themselves. This was actually something that was, in my opinion, the result of Azure carrying out proper consequences when players were a little bit presumptive of other characters. It happens more than once but he drops the quest to continue focusing on HQR more. And probably for the best, even if the majority weren't angry buttmad nerds.

Later, in HQR, this happens when the players misjudge a situation involving having a rap battle with a shinigami lieutenant. They wanted to have some fun, the shinigami killed their designated bro companion. That one, I think, is absolutely on the players. Some criticized that AE didn't read the mood of his players for wanting crazy, but then they voted to bring their friend along to stand up in front of a character who wants them dead and is several levels of anime fuck-you above them. To put the death of this particular character into greater context, a bro of the level that was the MC's plant hollow friend was almost as a husbando, and their death become a major motivating factor for the abilities and schemes conjured by the MC for the remainder of the quest.

Later on, this was also the quest he marathoned to the point where his writing went from smart use of commas to single word sentences and several dozens of dropped clauses.

>But yeah, he's having trouble with motivation because he wants everyone to be having fun.
Now this may come as a surprise, or perhaps not, but this is nothing new for AE. Gauging player focus and attention and what players really want and enjoy, in particular to these past quests and the sometimes extreme reactions his QMing has garnered, has terribly scarred his psyche. To the point where now he's not even a man, more like a creature that died QMing and can't really stop anymore but persists as the ghost of a little girl.

She is, as a QM and individual, damaged. Reading the more out-there posts of the archived HQR will show just how much its mind had slipped, and its made the rebounds since, but a broken writer once is a broken writer always.

Forever they'll quest- and consequences shall follow.

>>779088
For the rest of the stuff I mentioned I recommend reading the archives, and especially all of anons posts. For a rainy day, it's worth it.

Hahaha, okay, yep. I can see this.

>Getting a husbando killed
Hoo boy. Sometimes it's hard to tell in AE's quest when things are serious and when it's time to goof off, you know? Still, dicking around with someone that powerful ought to have a punishment.

>Now this may come as a surprise, or perhaps not, but this is nothing new for AE.

You started getting my sympathy for a moment there, before I figured out that you were pulling my leg. I do feel bad for AE sometimes tho. He's not in harmony with his players, or vice versa, it's like they keep confusing each other.

>>779226
>it's like they keep confusing each other.
Definitely the most apt way to put it.

>>778730
> Mofferences
> Implying there was anything stupid about DARK GREETINGS
C'mon Schteel I expected better from you.

>>779316
Dark Greetings is only stupid hilarious rather than just stupid.

Though, the old EU has a lot of good moments I think which languish in obscurity. I loved the story of the Stormtrooper from Alderaan who made a necklace out of rocks from Alderaan. I had intended to steal that for another Star Wars Quest later.

>>779336
As a starfighter fetishist, the old EU's greatest contribution in my eyes will always be the X-Wing and Rogue/Wraith Squadron books. Wes, Hobbie and Wedge just broing it up and having dogfights was the best, and I believe those series' also gave us the most electrifying man in space entertainment, if I remember correctly.

Though frankly, just about anything by Allston, Zahn and maybe even Stackpole were pretty great, and I am glad Zahn's getting another go around with the new Thrawn book.

Is the ASoIaF quest genre dead? If so, is there a way to revive it? Or has the very nature of /qst/ killed it for good?

Bordain and Malroy both seem like they won't be returning. The few that have run on /qst/ have low replies, and are poorly conceived and written at best. The only 'popular' and long running /qst/ native are the 'You Awake in Westeros' series and I needn't get into those messes.

>>779371
>and I needn't get into those messes.
Not as shit as they seem at first glance, but the nature of Velo and meme vultures seems to keep people away.

Recanonizing Thrawn, the big nostalgia episode with the Sep holdouts, and incoming recanonization of Dark Trooper-type droids and more is a sign that Disney at least cares about making Star Wars great again.

>>779381
But disasters like Aftermath and a lot of what I've seen of the new comics are a lot less convincing. I'm still going to stick with my 'expect the worst' policy with new Star Wars as at least this way good stuff is a pleasant surprise rather bad stuff being a bitter disappointment.

Woah woah woah. My quest is not a mess. Its an absolute masterpiece.

Have you guys ever tried running a quest on twitter?

I'm trying to run one for a different kind of crowd, but I can't bring them on 4chan, and the other sites for this weren't really simple either.

https://twitter.com/ro3clothing
If you are interested in taking a look at it.

>>778820

OK, some company came by, but I should have the quest up and running in 15 minutes!

>>779525
This is why if you want to be a serious QM you should abandon your family and friends.

>>779491
The character limit is a massive problem.

It's like creating art on an etch a sketch. Technically you can do it, but the question is 'why'?

>>779550
>The character limit is a massive problem.
yeah, I found that really annoying, but I then I just tried putting the text into the picture I'm attaching to the tweet.

>'why'?
I really want to bring this kind of story co-creation games to a more general public. what other choices did I have?

>>779562
>what other choices did I have?
TED talks, HPF, questionablequesting, anonkun. spacebattles, tgchan, bay12, 8ch, /trash/, /b/, 2chan play story board, e621 post & play, /qst/, and others.
To be fair I'm having trouble gauging where yours would fit best, it's unique and hard to place.

>>779581

>2chan play story board

Wait what? How does that work?

>>779538
fucking right

>>779562

You could just put it on twitlonger and link it.

>>779587
You learn moonrunes and post stories that people get to play. It's not really questing, in that many border the difference between civs and skirmishes, but some few have done the deep end of many people voting on actions of singular protagonists. There is a major difference there, in that players are also expected to sometimes be the QM. Japs, eh? It also has at least 2 billion % more fanfiction than every quest ever started here, but it bears mentioning with the others.

>>779491
How interesting.

Know about Exalted? Then you may tangentially enjoy this as it's set within the Modern version of it!

Special Halloween edition which may have slightly higher than average spookyness!

Saw it. I'll be keeping my eye on it.

That new Quest does seem really interesting. I'd like to see where it goes too, having been a reader of Banished Quest.

It may just be the final nail in the coffin for my Quest, though. But I have no hard feelings.

Didn't mean to leave my trip on, wasn't trying to attention whore like so many others.

>You are interrogating a spy, attempt to extract critical information from her by any means (or vice versa)

>A man of import has escaped a highly secured prison. You are tasked to track him down before he would be able to flee

>A barkeep has been found dead, mutilated beyond recognition. you are tasked to find the murderer

which one would you play?

All three, with each of those prompts happening simultaneously or over the course of a couple days/weeks. The quest then tells a non-linear story, weaving the events and characters together to build a narrative that could be wildly different in scope, tone and destination depending on player choice.
