>>Player Question:
One, I guess? I mean, you're pretty much gonna read the OP and then decide then and there whether it's interesting for you enough to be worth reading.

Unless you archived versions, where I guess I find myself reading the first few posts of the first thread to see if the general quality of the quest makes it worth reading. Though that might be bias, since I'd probably be reading something that's already piqued my interest.

Hey my dudes, can I ask you guys a huge favor?

Today I ran my first quest on /qst/, and it seems to have gone very well. If you want to you can read it over at >>802899

I'll be picking it back up tomorrow around 1pm EST.

Anyway, I'd like to ask you guys to read it and offer me some feedback. What do you think I could improve on? What is a good system for conflict resolution? Am I a horrible person for using a CYOA as a basis for my setting?

>>804963
>Player Question:
Doesn't really matter, honestly, so long as the quest keeps running and it can keep me interested. Of course, that would be difficult with huge amounts of time between the updates.

Somebody asked this a couple QTGs back, and I wanted to ask the QMs about it again.

On a scale from never to Banished Quest, have your players ever made a decision they knew would be a bad decision?

>>805430
Could you give a summary of the premise or some sort of hook?

What is a quest you feel doesn't get as many players as it deserves?

>>805430
I'm glad you recovered your enter key after a few updates.

>>805449
You're a 19 year old NEET living with your sister and mother who receives a strange book detailing the powers of Blood Magic. It's based off of a CYOA that can be found here: http://imgur.com/a/AJLmb

>>805460
....okay. I don't have time to critique the quest itself right now, but I can give you feedback on your summary.

As a premise, it explains what the quest starts off with.

But from your own experience after the first thread, what's it like? Wacky, nuanced, SUFFERING, waifus? What would I be looking for if I should check this quest out?

>>805430
>11 responses to the second post
>char gen that doesn't split the base and deter posters
>gets three anons giving advice when asked

You hit gold buddy. You're now a /qst/ quest exception to the rule. You're already doing better than 97% of the new quests that start here.

>>805521
Well, I'm really only halfway through the first thread, and the player base hasn't decided which direction they want to go exactly. The general consensus though seems to be that they wish to unravel the mysteries of the world, so I guess check the quest out if you want to see some interesting world building and lore at the moment? In the near future I hope to introduce some conflict that should help shape what exactly the community wants to be.

>>805533
I know, I feel absolutely blessed. I used to run quests back on /tg/ (Though I will never admit to what name I ran under) and I thought that now was a good time to start it back up again. Apparently I rolled a crit for my first thread; lets hope it can last.

>>805545
I will warn that if you have doubts, keep them to yourself for a little bit. Explore the doubts by addressing them behind in the scenes in the posts you write. Some players, and many people too IRL, get turned off by someone being doubtful of their own work.

In any case, thread die off is at least nine days away and so long as you keep at least fourish players by the next session you'll know you're solid. So for now, based on what I've read, you just need to QM consistently well and you'll be fine.

>>805460
Is Soma okay with you making a quest about him?

>>805453
Valen. I feel like this could be fixed if someone just got Riz a bottle of sunblock to survive the day with, though. I'm convinced that the only players she's got are either european or fellow vampires.

Find out with my witch quest that's coming in the future.

Because romances between MC and waifu are a dime a dozen.

True, man. True.

Pandora Quest.

I give private reviews through email. Shoot me an address and I'll try to send you something when I get some time. No promises though.

>>806027
Is the MC the witch or is it going to be Bewitched: The Quest?

>>805436
I guess...1 sort of. It was when my players made the risky decision to try and chase the bad guy by jumping on a car. Our powers were being able to control light, not parkour good.

.....fair. Even if they didn't do anything other than vote, it could use maybe 2 more at any given choice.

hey. NotBloodborne anon here.

The hub, 3 areas (total 4 of the 16 areas ) are now fleshed out with a drawn map and everything.

should i start this week? or perhaps i should wait till some/all the areas are done?

thank you for your reply.

>>806154
>Once a day
Yeah nah. More like once a couple weeks.

>>805436
I'm not sure they knew their choices were bad and made them anyway, or if their (to me) baffling decisions were based on lack of reading comprehension on their or lack of writing skill on my part, but yes. Several times.

More annoying is when they try to tell me stuff about my setting, which is rarer, but also happens intermittently.

>>806174
>Several times

It sounds like you might have a problem on your hands. Is what happens more of a "they bit off more than they could chew" thing or a "they completely missed the point of what was going on" thing?

>>806176
Mostly it's a 'they overestimate the extent to which the world revolves around them' type of thing. Which usually leads to the other two, yes. More of the first option though, I'd say.

>>806179
Maybe it would help if you gave more detail to the limits of the MC's powers and capabilities? I don't mean start reciting power levels, but write that "you cringe at the thought of shouldering such a burden alone" or "the sudden display of power takes your breathe away". Sometimes extra red flags can do a long way.

>>806196
I mean, I'll probably try to implement stuff like that, yeah. On the other hand they have a rather detailed overview on the character sheet.

And well, some of the decisions just baffle me. Like, I shouldn't have to make the best and worst option clear for every vote.

>>806201
People sometimes get carried away in the heat of the moment. Even if they should know they're getting in over their heads they might not know at that moment. Its sort of why computer programs have "are you sure you want to quit" popups and the like.

My sister is in medical practice and she says surgeons work with a chart right next to them. They obviously know the procedure, they just might need a little reminder.

>>804963
This quest is not your typical high school rp, it's a one of a kind hybrid rp with sci-fi, fantasy, alternative history and high school all in one with a dose of craziness as the quest and story progresses!

Join the Odd Story RPG by going to this thread: >>802744

>>806202
Yeah, I'll think about implementing something like that. Thanks for letting me rant and for offering advice. What's your quest about, by the way?

>>806027
Tell me more.

The last guy to stick his nose into the witches theme here didn't last for half a moment and it would be nice to actually have some company again. So what's your premise, time-frame, we talking devil-witches, pagan-witches, modern-witches, something else? Tell me! Tell me everything!

XCOM Quest is live!
>>784189

>>806231
Quests.

Ghoul Quest/Sibella Quest: Started in /co/s Spooktober Waifu quests. An unholy blend of Scooby-Doo, Hannah Barbara multiverse, Crowley occultism, and waifus.

Slasher Quest: A series of one shots in which I'm working with the anons to develop a "slasher skirmish" system that anyone can use for quick slasher killer(s) vs survivors games.

Capeworld: A superhero game based on a /tg/ setting I had a major hand in creating. The Amanda Waller/Nick Fury/Professor X game. The MC is a politico tasked with running an expansion of an American superhero team called the Statesmen. So far the expansion is designed to provide supplementary education and services to young metahumans and need.

Mechagirl Pit Fighter Quest: 110 percent magical realm quest about fighting robogirl gladiators in a Lunar city where violent behavior is heavily restricted.

BioArmor Quest: Slan meets Scanners meets violent 1980's OVA anime like Guyver and Genocyber. The hidden powers that control an alternate 1980's Earth have started a three sided civil war with the MC trapped at the center of it all.

Note that it is BioArmor, one word. Recently there's been a Bio Armor quest that is...satirizing my quest? Imitating my quest? Tributing my quest? I don't know what its supposed to be but it isn't mine.

>>806242
Isn't witch apprentice quest still running though?

>>806267
>Note that it is BioArmor, one word. Recently there's been a Bio Armor quest that is...satirizing my quest? Imitating my quest? Tributing my quest? I don't know what its supposed to be but it isn't mine.

Am I going to be accused of that too, GeneSmith?

>>806267
>I don't know what its supposed to be
Good.
>but it isn't mine
And that's why.

Y'know, I kinda wish more experience QMs with a better sense of a writing would take up short quests that use concepts from lesser, not really well done, stagnant quests of newer QMs.

>>806290
Quest Adoption seems to be a kind of taboo thing without have the express permission of the original author, which is hard to get since most first time quest authors tend to disappear into the ethereal mists after four or five updates.

>>806277
Hey, I'm just glad you didn't write me in the story to take it up the ass like you did with Velo.

You're going to do it with the next one, aren't you?

I'm legitimately curious what you or your "friend" will do for Ghoul Quest.

>>806290
I'd ask what quests you'll talking about, but I think the implications are clear.

There's room for one-shot "take that QM I hate" remakes and reimaginings. If people like it, they like it. It'll bring attention to the original works if nothing else.

>>806311
Well then they just need to learn how to not ask for permission from dead quests. I'm sure if they blanketly ask in the general, and don't receive a response, that silence can be taken as consent.

>>806312
There are good quests ideas that are just dead, too. Those are the one's I'm thinking about mostly.

>>806312
>Hey, I'm just glad you didn't write me in the story to take it up the ass like you did with Velo.
>You're going to do it with the next one, aren't you?

I'm content to keep all my mocking of you contained in the quest thread general.

>I'm legitimately curious what you or your "friend" will do for Ghoul Quest.

Is this a genuine implication I'm responsible specifically after I made fun of the idea that you would imply I was responsible?

If so that's pretty hilarious.

>>806312
You have this wierd fixation with taking it up the ass.

Also you keep implying that it was Trick punishing his players when they were the ones that voted for it. Tbqh that fling was one of the sweeter moments in that quest.

>>806316

Silence is never consent :^)

No but I understand what you're getting at, it's just to me at least using someone else's IP feels dirty. I had a minor existential crisis over using a cyoa as a basis for my own quest. It's kind of hard to just "get over" unless you're lacking in morals.

I feel that as creators, authors have a natural respect for things that others have created. We know how hard it is to take that first step by putting something out there, and even if you don't stick with it it's commendable that you did anything in the first place.

>>806322
Woah man, you aren't allowed to hate on GeneSmith at the same time as me.

You don't want this to become a hugbox, do you?

>>806324
Wait does a few people messing with a person count as a hug box now? Shit, times and definitions are changing.

>>806327
Any time more than one person thinks that GeneSmith is retarded and tells him that to his face, its a hugbox.

So most of the time the entire planet is a hugbox.

Now that you know you can work to allow the existence of other opinions!

>>806323
Ahh, I see. Morals. Creator's responsibility. Feelings and stuffss of writers.
I hadn't that about those things at all.

I just want more good redux quests, screw principles and righteousness.

>>806311
>taboo without the express permission of the original author.

It happens anyway though. It would be nice if people asked before they wrote fan fiction of your quest though, just to show a little politeness.

>>806316
Such as? We can't do anything with dead ideas if you don't unearth them for us. This thread is supposed to be a workshop, not just a drama factory after all.

>>806321
Yes Trick, we know you a good boy. You din du nuffin. Just tell your "friend' I appreciate all fanficiton and look forward to reading...I don't know, GhoulQuest by Bella Quest?

>>806327
I dared call the discord a hugbox and he he's been on me about it ever sense like a Jewish mother.

>>806322
You act like punishing his players and going with what they voted are mutually exclusive. About half voted against it, including poor Velo. And then about half voted for suicide, again including poor Velo.

>>806330
>Yes Trick, we know you a good boy. You din du nuffin. Just tell your "friend' I appreciate all fanficiton and look forward to reading...I don't know, GhoulQuest by Bella Quest?

AHAHAHAHAHAHA, you're actually doubling down on this I love it.

So what, the list is now that I've misarchived a thread of yours, apparently deleted another or something and now I'm running a parody quest to mock you.

Oh and I'm going to have you as an expy in a future quest for the sole purpose of fucking you up the ass, can't forget that.

By the way, I'm also responsible for burning your hot pockets in the microwave and slowing down traffic on your morning commute every Wednesday.

I wouldn't mind too terribly if someone did their own quest using characters from mine. I'd be kind of flattered they found the character interesting enough to want to make a quest revolving around them. That is of course only if the quest isn't a blatant mockery of my quest or characters.

>>806330
>Such as?
I would prefer QMs only try at ideas they know they'll enjoy, for example they'll have played it or already know of it, even if it's not likely to be something I like. People tend to do better that way. And then, a dead list won't be concisely reflective of that want. I'd probably be better off retooling premises and suggesting those. Either or, it'll take some thought and time for much later.

>>806336
>slowing down traffic on your morning commute every Wednesday.
TRUE EVIL

>>806336
>Oh and I'm going to have you as an expy in a future quest for the sole purpose of fucking you up the ass, can't forget that.

I'm beginning to think he secretly wants that and this is his way of egging you on.

I personally wouldn't mind taking over a dead quest. Redux quests seem interesting to me as well.

Inversely, I also wouldn't mind if someone took over a dead quest of mine too much without talking to me- might be interesting to see how someone else takes it. I'd just hope that their tone wouldn't different horribly from mine- or maybe just specifically state that it's a 'remix/unofficial continuation' quest from mine, of sorts. Y'know, basically just give baseline credit.

Also Magical Girl For Hire resumes in about an hour if I can get off my ass and finish some chores.

>>806336
Jokes on you Trick. Those are my sister's hot pockets. I have pop tarts.

And its okay Trick, its okay. Every time you vehemently deny trying to mess with me I believe you, you know that right?

>>806337
The weird thing is "Bio Armor" doesn't seem to really read as mockery. It reads more like the Zack Snyder adaptation of BioArmor. I think someone wanted to try rewriting and "beating" my quest, got bored, saw there were only 9 other people, and hastily ended it with a promise to do another of my quests next week.

>>806344
Well he is the only QM to ever do that to another QM. And fag shaming, really? You know that's going to be illegal once Hillary wins tonight, right?

>>806346
What dead quest do you want to see remade?

>>806352
>And fag shaming, really?
When did I...

I just said that fling Benjen and Will was one of the sweeter parts of the quest unironically a few posts back.

You're the one who keeps saying taking it up the ass is punishment. 'Poor Velo'.

If anyone is fag shaming here it's you.

>>806312
>>806311
It takes a special sort of arrogance to lay claim to another's intellectual property and improve it. As a ghost writer, I know exactly how hard it is to do such a thing and honor the work itself.

Most people who don't have the talent for it are hacks who need someone else's creative output to try and demonstrate their 'incredible writing skill' by pawning someone else's work as their own, rather than trying to 'improve' it.

>>806329
That's different than using someone's dead quest as a basis for your own - that's attempting to revitalize a genre (redux IS a genre after all).

>>806358
>another's intellectual property and improve it

And yet we have literally dozens of fanfic quests. But I guess its okay for us to lay claim to important people's intellectual properties but not each other's for some reason.

>>806352
I don't know if it's DEAD dead dead, but I'd love to see Hero Guardian Quest picked up I'd do it if I thought I could get away with it, and I'd like to see Monster Girl Academy given a second shake as well. By someone who has better grammar. I'm sorry Headmaster, I want to love you so much, you have fantastic ideas, but you make it so hard...

>>806358
> As a ghost writer

Jesus fucking christ it's a ghost

It's not halloween anymore you spooky shit fuck off with the skeletons

>>806346
quite a few people have tried to reboot AoPH. They didn't technically have permission, but Dran never gave a fuck.

>>806358
The other kind of Fanfiction...
But yes, even if quests have a fairly low barrier to entry all the good reduxes I can think of are few.

>>806362
Either way, I want forgotten ideas (some in years) to be given better attempts. As a premise gauntlet I'll get some use out of it myself.

>>806267
>Isn't witch apprentice quest still running though?
I certainly don't remember dropping it, so it should be. That's no reason for me not to want more, though.

>>806027
Tell me more already!

>>806290
...why? If the idea is good but the execution bad, you steal the idea discreetly and never tell a soul. Why bother putting in all the effort to run a quest that's not even your own?

>>806357
You're implying I'm secretly panting with erotic lust for Trick to write more gay fanfiction about me and that I should feel ashamed for it

>I'm beginning to think he secretly wants that and this is his way of egging you on.

And I think it is a case of "poor Velo" when he asks Trick to stop and Trick does it anyway for the lulz.

>>806372
Well I can ask Awoo. I doubt he'd say yes though.

>>806366
There's a difference between uploading something on fanficiton.net and taking someone's quest. It's not surprising you can't understand the difference though.

>>806380
>Why?

There are two things I think are getting conflated. One is using a premise or genre. "Magical Girls in WW2" for instance. Another is flat out remaking a quest.

>>806366
I feel the same way about fanfic, actually, but most fanfic is about honoring the original writing, though there are inevitable fanon rape cases (Mary Sue, lookign at you).

But that's an opinion, and I'm not in a position to actually enforce anything. I'm just saying taking dead quests and reusing them seems like a very poor method of revitalizing a genre. Making your own quest using concepts presented? I can get behind that.

The line between genre and plagiarism is fairly wide and somewhat blurred at the edges, after all.

Question:

How do you guys get feedback for your quest? I feel like my anons don't really say much about the quest or vote on the archive and it's kind of frustrating.

I have concerns about pacing sometimes and whenever I ask for comments I am greeted with silence.

So yeah, feedback - how get.

>>806391
Beg, plead, whine, and ask.

>>806384
>You're implying I'm secretly panting with erotic lust for Trick to write more gay fanfiction about me and that I should feel ashamed for it

We don't think you should feel ashamed about it.

We think you should just admit it.

It's alright mate.

>>806384
>You're implying I'm secretly panting with erotic lust for Trick to write more gay fanfiction about me
Yes I do think that is very true.

>and that I should feel ashamed for it
I implied nothing of the sort. You might be projecting a bit here.

>>806384
>write more gay fanfiction

Wait wait wait.

I've just now realized how you've phrased this.

/More/ gay fanfiction?

Are you under the belief that I have already written gay fanfiction about you?

Is this another crime on my list of transgressions?

>>806391
This basically:>>806393

I sometimes take a moment at the end of quests to ask the players' are liking things. I sometimes do a little Q and A thing, maybe post some stuff about worldbuilding and lore. Its something of an institution now in my Ghoul Quests. The anons call it "Real Wendigo Hours"

>>806399
You did write gay fanfiction about Velo.

I know you probably didn't think it was gay when you wrote it. It just came out, right?

>>806402
There's gay fanfiction about me written by Trick?

Jesus fuck someone link me now

>>806405
The MC of my quest had homosexual relations with another man which I, quite tastefully I might add, had as a fade to black.

>>806402

And now it seems GeneSmith is waiting for me to luridly describe his own buttsex scene.

I hate to inform you of this GeneSmith, but all the actual gay fanfiction rests upon Sue's shoulders so you'll have to look to her for any aid with your current fixation.

>>806402
I reiterate my statement that if anyone is fag shaming here it's you, you goddamn hypocrite.

Everything you write is littered with negative connotations when comes to homosexuality.

>>806411
Man you probably aren't even Velo.

>>806416

Its a Darth Vader thing. The real Trick died a long time ago. He is now more meme than man.

>>806384
>Well I can ask Awoo. I doubt he'd say yes though.
you keep regular correspondence with Awoo?

>>806391
Don't ask them what you're doing wrong. Very few players will ever answer that question honestly, they've had way too many QMs vanish to actually dare tell you the truth.

Instead, ask positive questions. "What do you want to see more of in the future?" is a lot more likely to get some productive answers than "How's my grammar?" You can also get a lot of silent feedback just by watching your players discuss events and characters. Pay attention to what they're saying, what they're liking, and you'll have an idea what to do next.

Alternatively, just make someone angry. They'll give you a ton of feedback then.

>>806424
Memevulture*

>>806435
This so much. Whenever the players discuss something important to them, log it. Like an actual DM in a long term campaign. Even if they don't discuss things the majority swing or presence of near-splits between votes can be used to verify the more silent posters' opinions.

>>806431
No, but I've PMed him before when I privately reviewed a part of his quest. All I can do is light up the Awoo signal and see if he answers.

>>806435
>>806439
This is very good advice.

>>806391
simplest way is to ask who best girl is. Whether that gets you anything useful is a different matter.

>>806439

Thanks, that's something I have been doing. Glad It's not wasted notation.

It's more that a couple of things have ended up far slower paced than I've liked due to real life and a lot of bad dice have caused the quest to become super combat heavy.

The discussion seems to have died down yet I still get votes and participation even if no feedback.

>Greentexting

Alright kiddo.

But seriously, yea.

After my players voted to have gay sex they were insistent on possessing the knowledge of whether they were the top or the bottom to confirm their masculinity or something stupid.

So I threw it up to a vote and the majority voted to be the bottom.

I guess I should have disregarded player agency and declared they were the top so as not to punish them because apparently taking it up the ass is bad.

I still don't see what the issue is or how its a punishment to have an MC have gay sex.

>>806452
Don't bother Trick. Dude's been reduced to shouting /pol/shit and using 'muh'.

>>806448
I'll look into it.

>exalted quest cancelled today
>it was my only day off

If everyone's probably seen your quest a few threads in already and you'll undoubtedly lose players as you go on, how do you stop your quest from dying a slow death?

>>806452
>How is it a punishment

Because Velo the QM didn't want his avatar to be apart of your slash fiction.

Now I'm not one of those people that thinks its a crime if someone does something bad to someone's avatar in a chat or video game. I think the people on the news that want to prosecute people that teabag them in a video game are ridiculous. But you can't say Velo liked what you did. He voted to have his avatar kill himself afterwards.

>>806482
Just keep posting. An animal dies when its heart stops pumping. Keep it active even through the slow times.

>>806482
There will always be a drop off from the first thread, but if you're lucky you'll get a core playerbase that'll stick with you to the end.

To make sure you don't lose that core playerbase as a QM you need to be consistent.

>>806487
I love this is coming from the guy that got his '''''reviewing''''' start by shitting on Velo's work and went for as many low blows as possible in attempt to be 'comedic'.

But yeah keep riding that high horse.

>>806482
Keep it interesting.

Players leave eventually, but at a much slower pace once you're a few threads in. At that point they're invested and will generally be getting exactly what they follow you for and stick with you. Mostly.

And for the ones that do leave, well, if you run your quest long enough and it gets seen in the catalog long enough, you'll also have new people checking it out and sometimes sticking around. Keep your quest interesting, and the curious few will have more motivation to join.

And for the rest, well, you could do the obvious thing and make sure your quest actually has an ending. I know lots of great ones don't, but that doesn't mean yours shouldn't have one.

>>806162
Are they all accessible from the start? If not, leave them for now and you can work on them when you're started but not running.

Hyping your first thread is the most important thing for you to do now.

>>806494
Negatively reviewing someone's quest and calling them a bad guy for Velo-ing equals taking over theri quest and avatar and making them have gay sex in your book?

>>806503
Whoa buddy there ain't nothing wrong with gay sex

>>806497
Excluding the hub, two are. the fourth is a follow up to one of the two areas. Another two more areas are accessible from the start but they are not finished just yet.

what is the best time to start a new quest? my thinking is either Thursday or Friday but i can be wrong.

>>806510
There is when the guy is asking you not to have his avatar involved.

If it makes you feel any better, my quest that is also Exalted (kinda) runs today!

Sooo my college Wi-Fi blocked all of 4chan. Anyone know how I could get around it without having to post on mobile like I currently am?

>>806704
Proxy

>>806707
You generally can't post from a proxy server though. At least the way I know how to do it.

>>806704

Try entering the board specifically, rather than just 4chan. I got past a local block doing that.

>>806729
Doesn't work! I'm just gonna ask my friend in IT if he can get it unblocked. They only do this during preview days or board meetings since they want to save on bandwidth and convince the board that no one ever looks at open here (despite imgur not being blocked)

>>806739
*porn not open. Damn mobile posting.

>>806739

Friend of mine went to college all the way up for his master's degree.

6 years of phoneposting since the campus wouldn't allow 4chan period.

The best advice I can give in a last ditch effort is to slave your phone's connection to 4chan. If you're running a quest then at the very least you can do it on a keyboard worth a shit.

>>806782
I pay for my own data though and that sounds expensive as shit.

It wasn't blocked at the beginning of the year so hopefully me emailing them will get something changed. If not, I'll do what I did last time where I type everything on Google drive and then cut and past it from my phone.

>>806798

Starting a new quest.

Pls have interest /qst/.

Fuck, finally! I emailed IT and they unblocked it for me. At least for now.

Alchemical Blade Quest will be live an hour and a half!

I just need to feast on the tears of /pol/ until then.

What do you guys think about a QMC that cannot physically affect the characters in the story? Like we're watching other characters through a terminal, but our interaction with them is for the most part limited to speaking with them and relaying information verbally.

Planning on running a quest where this is a major element, but it's not too late for me to change that if it sounds like it'd be too poorly received.

>>807151
...a mind parasite that can only control the mouth?

>>807151
Some people will like it and others won't.

Interacting with a new world is really exciting for some players but for other players, affecting the world and taking action are much more exciting.

>>807151
So, we would be participating in a quest, where we participate in a quest?

>>807151

It couldn't hurt to try, as I see it. Sounds like the sort of idea that'd either go really well or fucking horrendous.

>>807156
More like we're locked in a room with a text parsing terminal, screens viewing other characters and an audio feed of those characters and we're supposed to help them solve puzzles and explore the world.

>>807171
More or less. We control the QMC, who is "controlling" (read: asking) the other characters. I was thinking players might find this frustrating when they can't just vote to smack a bitch when they step out of line.

Really my idea of the premise isn't quite as hard on the "no actual interaction" as I'm making it sound, since the QMC won't be alone in the room, but the focus is going to be pretty clearly on teamwork with the other characters via the terminal.

>>807181
Sweet. I suppose I can always throw in a "wildcard" character, aka QMC 2, who can be in the physical presence of the rest of the cast if the players are feeling too impotent.

>>807190

Hey, how often should I be able to write like on a weekly basis to run two quests with any kind of regularity?

>>807222
Well, I'll post a link when I start it. Probably in a few days.

>>807258
When I had three I did two or three days of my main quest and a day for each of my other quests.

That's when I had more time than I should have so It honestly depends on what your schedule is like.

>>807258
Twice. 'Regularity' just means consistently or to a schedule.

>>807270
>>807280

I MIGHT be able to run like twice a week. Once a week sometimes.

Should I stick to one quest or try out my new idea?

>>807248
He came back once

>>807284
Oh and the idea is Supernatural meets Penny Dreadful meets Call of Cthulu in WW2 America where most every able-bodied man is gone and it's heavily influenced by American folk-lore and native american mythology. I've got the basics of a plot and a really interesting character creator that should keep people interested for a few threads just to see how that works out.

If the story is interesting, than one.

How often do you put in themes in your stories?

>>807743
I always do. It probably comes off as 2deep4me sometimes but hey, it's easier to write.

>>807752
Certainly better than trying to force in morals because it leaves things open to interpretation and discussion (read: arguments)

>>807752
I do this all the time. Sibella is about trust, Mechagirl is about taking back control from your name to your life, BioArmor is (currently) about development in the aftermath of failure and normally about the harmfulness of good intentions.

Slasher Quest is about killing teenagers. That's a theme right? Although Cenotaph Slayer had themes of loss and xenia, very Greek tragedy.

>>806036
I would read a QM x questor romance, no question.

>>807151
Makes me think of the navigation Reploids from Megaman X. They can relay information to their unit(s), but in the end, they can only offer suggestions.

I've wanted to run a quest where you play as someone who wants to run their own mercenary company; you'd make calls or meet people in cafés for recruitment, then guiding them on missions based on a flow of intel. The information you provide them along with your suggestions would mean the difference between life and death. But, I would also include powers the navigator could use herself, kinda like CO Powers from Advance Wars.

Many limitations prevent me from running a quest, though. Hopefully this little blurb can give another Anon some ideas.

>>807248
Something about not wanting to run on /qst/? Citation needed, but I can't provide. Can I get a witness/screencap?

>>807248
He got so bootyblasted about /qst/ that he disappeared. He always seemed like a chill guy but it turns out that he's a huge drama queen.

>>806290
That's how I feel about that one RWBY quest that popped up recently. I've got a pretty excellent grasp on the world and the QM just doesn't seem particularly confident or skilled enough to pull off something so grandiose.

Not to imply that RWBY is particularly good or grounded, but the universe as a whole has so much potential it's a shame there aren't more people trying their hand at a quest for it.

>>808206
Well, after a certain Space Western, I'll try a hand at it.

>>808206
I'd love to see a RWBY Quest done well. There's a lot of potential in the setting that even the showrunners kind of squander.

>>808206

To elaborate on: >>808245

It'd probably use the setting, and be located far away from canon characters doing their thing.

>>806448
It looks like twitter won't let me message you unless you follow me. I'm @QuestGuy.

>Too fucking depressed to QM
>Still get ideas for future scenarios that my story hasn't even come close reaching yet, let alone fulfilling

>>807743

All of the time, but I generally don't have particular overarching theme.

/qtg/ Question: Is it weird that my players generally trying to make allies out of characters that I as the QM never thought would've been possible and drop the "Staring Cast" like a hot rock? (EX: Kind-of/Sort-of befriending someone that wanted to kill The MC by simply talking it out over several rounds of drinks at a bar; Almost wanting to join up with the BBEG because of how eloquently he explained his actions etc. etc.)

>>808758
>First case:
If the character that wanted to kill the MC had a "nothing personal" atittude or was pretty personalbe outside of his mission to kill him, i don't see why not

>Second case:
The bleakest your setting, the more the players' opinion of the villian's point of view shiftes from "something to be despised" to "Another option". Bonus points if he is charismatic

>>808767

>First Case
The players owned up to what the MC did to piss her off, then left on "Not 100% friendly, but at least she won't kill us" kind-of terms. They're still going to have o fight her at some point, but now it's a "Sparring Session" instead of some straight-up fight to the death shit.

>Second Case
I think I've created some kind of insane mixture of Trump and Ozymandias from The Watchmen wrapped up in a Fujo-bait wrapper when I wanted Satan Incarnate. I'm not complaining though...

>>808783
If they are willing to take responsability for their actions, i don't see why friendship should be impossible, if they were (sorta) forgiven by their would be killer (Who had her reasons)

So, a bishie Senator Armstrong? Characters like those tend to be liked because they seriously believe that what they are doing is right. And enough charisma to pull it off. For better or worse.

Basically yes to both, but the BBEG is more of a "Shady Businessman with connections" than a politician with a soft spot for saving the earth:

>"By the year 2030, the world that we know, understand, acknowledge and live in currently will cease to exist. Then your a rights as a human being, your sense of individuality, your sense of ownership and sense of self... Will also cease to exist." "Even with all of my vast wealth and riches there is very, very little I or anyone else can do about it. Global Warming has accelerated to a point where, if the global population isn't culled by 2/3rds and resources were equalized among what is left of humanity, the Earth's weather patterns would become so extreme that life and food and civilization itself would break under the pressure."

>>808830
Culling the population is not something i am too thrilled about. Now some aggressively enforced population control programs should solve the problem just as well and without the bloodshed

I would do him tho'. so he has that going for him

>>808835

What made that speech work was that he was talking to an MC that already has issues about her sense of self and who she is, so the idea of some outside force deciding what she's going to be for the rest of her life scared her a little and all three of my players picked up on that straight away (Save for one guy that wanted her to go "Full GeneSmith").

>>808843
You mean "Fuck everyone. i am going to make my own side! With pachinko and lolis"?

>>808853

Got a message over discord, so I find myself here again real quick.
You have my blessing to do so if you make everything that happened in the quest a dream if you do a hard reboot with another main character or a soft reboot with Lin still in the MC boots. That would be interesting for both you and the players in my opinion.
And If you wanna continue where the story left off, that's okay too and I'll happily give you the cliff notes over discord or something for possible future characters - probable events - and other plot stuff you might want to know etc. Up to you.

Is it a good idea to run something not smut and not for degenerates on akun

>>809095
It isn't the worst idea, probably.

>>809095
Unfortunately, it seems that the quests that do get attention over there has smut in them.

>>809095
You could, just expect little attention, and for players to jump to the option that presents the vaguest possibility of smut if it is in any way implied.

What is the advisable amount of waifubait without turning it into a harem shitshow in your opinions?

I only have one in what I'm running right now (and near immediately turned the players off of her) but was thinking of adding a couple more because people love that shit. I was personally going to go with just two or three.

>>809190

What's with the clothing line angle?

>>809372
it's part of a bigger project.

I mean, Rule of Three is actually a clothing brand I started two months ago, but I wanted to innovate something within this industry. My idea was to go from one person coming up with designs for clothes, to anybody being able to influence and collaborate together. The medium for that was these kind of storytelling games we have on /qst/.

The goal was to have people from fashion communities contribute to this, but I didn't have too much success so far, so I'm just posting here, since you guys are interested in stories.

tl dr; you can just ignore the clothing part if you want, and just see the quest as a common one on /qst/

Hey, Notbloodborne anon here.

With most of early game done, I feel confident to start my quest on Friday.

The premise for those who might be interested:

You are an emissary tasked to awaken the gods of above and below from their slumber. Fulfill your duty in a world of terror and madness.

Keep your eyes closed.

if you have any question to ask then, please do.

Thank you.

>>810137
will there be waifus

>>810137
how curahzy is the combat?

>>810153
i suppose? some female characters can be interpreted as waifus, i think.

they are not the main focus though. the main focus is on the world and the environment. The churning horrors that surrounds the main character and what not.

>>810164
well according to the player's current arms. firearms, arcane arts....etc, various options will be available in combat with a write-in.

The foes and the bosses are abundant and different. They are not here as a 'obstacle'; they are a part of this world i am building.

System wise, it is a simple best out of three d100. Punishment is usually a consequence of the player's decisions not from the dices themselves. In most cases i will give the players a chance or two to recover from bad rolls.


Do you have any other question in mind?

>>810168
oops, that came out wrong, i meant to type

will u be my waifu

>>810188
>Punishment is usually a consequence of the player's decisions
which is why I was asking about how cuhrazy

Since you mentioned Bloodborne, can I assume that a lot of unrealistic weapons/tactics would be feasible?

>>810191
i am flattered anon, thank you.

>>810202
Almost all of the weapons have a trick mode.

it will not take priority over functionality but yes, there will be cuhrazy weapons.

>>810217
If you want your combat to have spectacle, read up on Joker Quest and Deniable Assets Quest. Extranatural Enforcer, too.

Wednesdays (Thursdays in the eastern hemisphere), according to common belief

>>811222
dead days used to be a big issue but desu man, /qst/ is slow as shit already, and your quest isn't falling off the board for a while.

>>811235 was intended for >>811211]

>>811209
I was thinking of making it a quest set in the Wormverse, but with a (mostly) new cast of npcs, or established npcs being different in the quest than in the canon.
For example, in my quest, the head of the BB protectorite isn't Armsmaster, but Jack Slash.

You think that might alleviate some of the issues?

>>811239
How'd my ID change?

>>811239
Either you changed locations or you have a dynamic IP.

>>811239
Hard to say. You still have to navigate the fact that some powers are clearly more powerful thn others, convncing the players that your MC isn't over or under powered no matter what power they have, how you're going to chose what power they have, and by far the most serious problem the players have, how you're going to affect the world of Worm effectively when most of the scenario is already played out.

>>811248
I have that all planned out. Quest begins with players choosing from 1 of the 12 power categories, then I give them a power based on their choice.
I already have one or more powers for each category, plus a loose upgrade tree for each. If push comes to shove, tho, I'll tailor (heh) the powers of new NPCs to better fit what the MC lacks.

>>811251
Then wait 6 hours and ask the daytime crew. They will have more insight than one anon.

Hey are there any superhero quests currently running on qst? fan fiction or original setting.

>>811495
I'm thinking of starting a Wormverse quest (probably some time next week), but it hasn't started yet.

>>804963
>What is the minimum number of players worth questing for?
I'd say three. One is too little for important decisions and two is just fucking annoying because you end up with a tie almost each time.

What is the minimum number of updates worth reading a quest?
One, as long as it's furnished properly. I don't just want to get on it and just see the QM going "Okay."

On a semi-related note, Sanguine Quest 3 is up!
>>811417

Guys please come back I'm so ronery ;-;

>>811495
I've always wanted to do one, but ended up doing two quests before I got the chance.

>>811510
I'm in the same boat, yeah. I've been digging through my old quest ideas and found a super hero one that I really liked. I might try it out some time next month.

>>811495

>>806798

Need a tie breaker. Don't make me roll for it anons.

>tfw following a decent quest but the QM is a tsundere shit who won't advertise anywhere

it was posted here a few days ago, it's on akun and it's supposed to go live in an hour. The QM doesn't deserve it for killing his own quest, but he obviously put some thought behind it and I want to see where it goes, so please check it out.

Twitter with lots of notice. And letting people know your next run date/time at the end of each thread. It'll work.

Your audience doesn't need to have an exact schedule if you provide a good heads up and stick to it.

Are there any gay quests to read going on currently? I might have been considering whether or not I like dudes, so I would like a glimpse at what that would be like. I mean, I tried Gachimuchi, but it didn't seem very realistic.

>>812275

Hmpf. Back in my day...
Well, I'll give it a shot.

>>812280
don't.....don't use quests to figure out your real life preferences.

Live again was live yesterday but forgot to post

Alchemical Blade Quests is up and running again! >>807471

>>811495

I may quite possibly count. The main protagonist is a super cyborg while the main enemies are military armed with elemental supersoldiers.

I don't really feel sorry for Above and Below QM, because he made a really poor effort to sell the setting and the quest.

Great preparation and setting notes, from what I can tell from /qtg/ but the actual execution was pretty bland. If you're emulating Bloodborne/Dark Souls, there's lots of ways to build tension or start with action.

>>812642
Eh, it ain't great but it's what's on. Anyone else want to make some BB/DS fanfiction quest? I'll play.

>>812647
Yeah sure, but I haven't played a single minute of those games. Sound good?

>>812660
Sure. Even if you only know the synopsis/themes it's more about execution than setting knowledge which can be replaced by OC.

>>811691
Just the Twitter should be necessary. Most Anons don't have the patience to convert timezones via Google, nor remember to go to a thread at a certain time.
Much easier for them to just wait for the alert, and that way you don't have to worry about being there at a certain time. Just send out the tweet when you're ready to run, and the fans will come.

Someone should make a Dr. Strange quest.

>>812673
Dr. Strange is about 80% visuals and 20% HAM

>>804998
I'll fuck ya

>>812725
So, an illustrated quest? :)

>>812753
Actually, yeah.

Strange goes through so much weird shit and I think it'd be weird to communicate through writing or atleast have way less of an impact

>>812280
Just go to an erotica site and read porn there, or look into romance novels aimed at homosexual males. That path will likely suit your needs better.

Quest threads are not going to give you an even vague approximation of 'the gay experience' or whatever it is you are seeking.

>>812673
I agree with >>812725. It'd be hard to have a proper Dr. Strange experience without conveying some solid trippy vibes for at least part of the story. And that would be very hard to do justice with just text.

Hey what's goin on in this thread

I wanna apologize for not running when I said I would. Been dealing with testicle-related health concerns and I have to be healed before Thanksgiving. I'll still be running Sunday night.

Also I refuse to believe my quest is good. No matter how highly the threads get upvoted in the archives.

>>812725
Although an awesome idea, it is something that is difficult to pull off.
You would need someone who can pump out some trippy images.

>>812673
That was my (now on hiatus) Baron Bizarre Quest, which takes place in the same universe as Capeworld: Statesmen.

It opened with us in another plain of reality helping an elder god give birth to its reincarnation and then protecting the reincarnation as Death the Devouerer chased us through existence. We defeat Death by forcing him into battle with Sun Wukong the Monkey King. Then we hatch the elder god above Nevada and have to explain to the government what the fuck we just did to the sky.

I think it was Ditko enough.

>>812856
>That issue where Eternity destroys all of existence and then recreates it just to make a point to Stephen.

>Very next issue "it was just an illusion bro. Just a social experiment bro" because of all the letters.

Power levels should be a consideration when doing a Dr. Strange style quest. You aren't just the magic guy. You are THE magic guy.

Back home from vacation. Dungeon Life Quest will be resuming early, sometime on the 11th, mostly due to my work schedule making the planned start on the 15th a little awkward. Thanks to everyone for your patience with my hiatus.

>>813796
Yay. I stormed through your archives over the course of 6 days.

I hope to have as much lewd fanart as you someday.

quest idea: interior designer for Trump White House, make it golden with spray paint or real gold. Discover military coup, fight between Empire and Rebels begin, pew pew pew!

The oddest of all adventures continues, Part 2 of the Odd Story is now opened on 4chan's /qst/ boards! >>814314

>>812280
I've only pretty recently figured out that I'm bi and it's a weird place to be.

But yeah the only gay characters I've seen written with any semblance of realism in quests are Kato's quests and she generally writes about girls since that's what she knows the most about.

What's a good site that you can quickly roll for numbers on? My quest is going to involve a fuck ton of rolls and I don't really want to have to post every time I want to roll.

>>814454
https://www.random.org/

>>814430
Exalted Quest is pretty gay, but more in the girls sense. It's also highly unrealistic, but well, it's Exalted.
Essentially, in the setting, bisexuality is so common that one (male) NPC is considered a bit of a weirdo for liking girls more than he likes boys.
Also features characters who can magically change their gender so you know, it's a bit of a moot point at times.

>>814461
How many quests have had gay main characters in general? Probably can't be that common.

>>814506
There's a pretty high percentage I think, not sure how much. EQ's main character's sexuality is best defined as "anything that is technically alive and consents".

("technically alive" includes the undead, ghosts, spirits, shapeshifters, lovecraftian nightmares, gods, volcanoes, ancient flying fortresses, and at least one robot made by a prince of Hell)

>>814506
Beofre the Purge, there was a n even number of lesbian to straight, and half of those numbers in gay. So they're less common than the other orientations, but not at all impossible or unheard of.

I was thinking of running a Ranger's Apprentice Quest set before or after the events of the books. It would be episodic in the sense that each thread would be like an isolated event with the time in between them being assumed training time so the thread wouldn't mostly be "What would you like to do today?" Would that be interesting or something you guys think players would dig?

>>814695
Could be fun

>>814695
>It would be episodic in the sense that each thread would be like an isolated event with the time in between them being assumed training time so the thread wouldn't mostly be "What would you like to do today?"
That's what I'm doing for my quest and it definitely works.

It allows players actions to have a much bigger impact on the world because you can skip past the immediate result to examine what happens longer term.

>>814695
Is that anything like Lone Wolf? Because I'd dig the shit out of something like Lone Wolf.

I like the freedom you're talking about. It could be real fun.

We are back

the cover?

the picture actually belongs to fallen London but both fallen london and sunless sea are mostly unrelated to my quest

>>815144
Okay. I also saw one of the currencies being "blood echos" which made me think that it was something like sunless sea.

It looks like a well done quest.
