>What does your favorite quest need more of?

Well the only quest I'm actively participating in is Evil Sorceress Quest and it needs more power plays.

We just ousted a mayor and negotiated between two feuding families for control of a magical well but those things are almost tangentially related to how much power we are accruing. Although perhaps we'll get a source of income from the mine one of the families own.

>how close are you to finishing your quest?

Yeesh. My issue is that of the few players I still have they are in vastly different timezones so unless I want to write updates on like, one vote, I really can't do dedicated runs in large 8 hour blocks or something like that so I make one or two updates a day over a course of a week which I hope adds up to the equivalent of one thread of updates on some sort of weekly run schedule for any other QM in the biz.

I'd like to say that my quest should be done before thread 100 and hopefully before my second year anniversary of when I began QMing rolls around but who knows?

I've definitely made large strides towards the climax of my quest and the number of plot points or 'events' I've left to drop on my players has dwindled and I'm not going to ass myself to make up much more to prolong the narrative. Resolution is approaching however I don't think it is fast approaching.

Just close enough for the distance between now and the climax to be /super/ frustrating. Taking a break to run a one-shot after realizing I was feeling like going on hiatus (/again/) or dropping the quest helped put it into perspective and get my head back in the game, though. I have high hopes to be finished out by summer.

And then I have to stare down the barrel of the Changeling quest I wanted to run in the first place.

Please give me the peace of death.

>QM Question

Well, I guess I'm still on my original track, but people selecting a Witch Soul/street rat orphan combo for our MC (in Soul Eater, Witches are the main bad guys at first) has made things interesting. Our man Tony has some family history to unearth, for certain.

>Player Question

More updates, and less clutter in the threads. I get that it's popular, but when I can spin my mouse wheel as hard as I can and not cover the space between QM posts it gets a bit ridiculous.

>>QM Questions:

>For those that have just started, do you have an idea of how your quest might end. Has it changed at all since you first envisioned it?

As a matter of fact I always plan the ending before getting to write the actual quest. I actually realized what the final poll will be only a few days ago, I think it will give the players quite the dilemma.

>>942844
> I always plan the ending

Does that mean you railroad the players into that specific ending?

>>942855
I try not to. But I do envision the players wanting to walk towards a 'climax', and upon that climax, they decide for themselves how they want the quest to end.

>>942569
>QM question

I mean, I have an idea how the overarching plot will go and how that will end. I doubt I'd keep the quest going after but if I manage to think of something, I'd keep it up.

At this rate, though, I probably won't finish for like 8ish months at least.

At the rate I actually write the quest, probably 6-12 months real time. The endgame is going to get foreshadowed pretty damn hard next thread, though. Should be fun.

>>944048
I admire your distinct characterization, worldbuilding, tone, and ability to write drunk.

>>942855
Having an ending planned should be mandatory because the most likely alternative is for a QM to either drop the quest abruptly when they're tired or to suddenly force an ending to at least be able to say the quest got one. Isn't it far preferable to have your QM always gently nudging you towards an ending sequence that has been foreshadowed for a long time?

>>944047
A quest on this board. Sorry, but anonymity applies to quests and QMs too as far as I'm concerned.

>>944066
I'm pretty sure I know which qm you are, so without revealing yourself will you do a follow up quest with the mc's kids or just write about what happened with them?

>>944069
>mc's kids

Sorry anon, but you're definitely thinking of someone else. You should ask your QM in their own thread next time they run. They'll probably be happy to know you care so much that you even want a post-game.

“The point of mythology or myth is to point to the horizon and point back to ourselves: this is who we are; this is where we came from; and this is where we are going.” – J Michael Straczynski

Sea Folk.

Trovernian.

Wyvernian.

Human.

Thousands of years have passed since the Great Wyvern War, and the scouring of the Earth from the war between the Ancient Ones and the Elder Dragons. The progress of man is little more than crumbling ash, and the civilizations of old endure only as time-blasted ruins. But still, life finds a way. And from the remnants of the old world, those survivors that inherited the land have flourished in the years to come.

Yet, beasts both great and terrible remain, monsters who have roamed the earth since time immemorial, beyond the living memory of those that survived. These are creatures of great strength and power, capable of manipulating the very elements at their own whims. And yet they are no more unnatural in the order of things than the four races of Midegarde.

I speak not of the Elder Dragons, but of the more commonplace monsters one might encounter in the wilder parts of the world: Rathalos, King of the Skies, Jungle Meanace Yian Kut-Ku, Alpha Raptor Velocidrome, and, if the gods have forsaken you, Deviljho, the World Eater. Some of these monsters are content to leave us alone, or can be put to use or allied with. But when you see a man herding Aptonoth or a Felyine at the side of a hunter, do not forget that there are worse beyond the confines of town, in the untamed world.

The rules of nature hold dominion over all living things: eat or be eaten, survival of the fittest. The monsters come with tooth and fang, element and claw, roaring all the while that they are the true masters of the planet. An unfair fight by all other accounts. For all of that is no match for our cunning, intellect, and our adaptability to rise up to the challenge.

In this world, a hunter is one who takes up arms and armor to fight against these monsters. Some fight for glory and honor, to carve their names into the annals of legend. Some fight to protect, holding back the tide for the sake of those they cherish. There those who fight just for the sake of it, to experience the rush of excitement, that thrill of not knowing whether the next moment would be their last.

And in the wake of these hunters come the stories, the tales. These are the epics, of a lone challenger confronting a Diablos with naught but sword and shield, emerging victorious without as much as a scratch! These are the comedies, the team blunders and mistakes to be forgiven and laughed over a tankard of mead. These are the tragedies, the hunts that break good men and women, that claim the lives of brave hunters and leave friends and family with naught but their memories.

What is it about stories that enthrall us so? We have been telling them for centuries, even before the means to record them was rediscovered. Passed down from one generation to the next, huddling around a campfire under the canopy of twilight. And after so many thousands of years, all of the stories to ever exist must have been told at some point or another! From the grandest of hunts to the most mundane gossip, surely there is nothing original left in the world.

Whether they are accounts of fiction or the recounting of actual events, stories have power. They create genuine emotions in the hearts of their audience: anger, fear, love, sorrow. They take us away from the present, immersing us in the world brought to life by their words. They are learning experiences, containing practical lesson, moral equivalence or both at times, to teach us about the intrinsic nature of ourselves.

In this world, there are many stories.

But in the end, sometimes all that can be done is to waylay the issues before us and pass around the tales we’ve heard or conjured up with our imaginations. And while the tales of the Ancient Ones and the Elder Dragons remain as excellent stories due to their mystery and intrigue, they never quite become the favorites of children or adults in the world. Even the timeless stories fail to captivate the world as much as one other type of story, whether it is a recounting of events or an imagined tale.

And over the course of the days to come, I will share one such story with all of you.

This is a tale of adventure, of gallant warriors and noble action. Occasionally, it is a tale of romance, for those that do enjoy them.

This is a tale before the establishment of the Guild, before the advances of technology that would forever change the art of the hunt.

This is not a tale of the monsters, but of those who fight them.

This is a tale of hunters.

So...yeah. Thinking about doing a MonHun Quest. Still trying to finangle how I'd do the weapons/armor upgrades and the new changes in the recent games, but I've got a plot/outline typed out and the world set up. Any interest?

>>942569
QM:
.........I don't know. Only 3 badguys left to deal with, but they're the hard ones.

Player:
Cute.

>>944121
it sounds like you want a blank slate.

I'm not too optimistic about blank slates. Yes, it's a monhun staple. No, that doesn't make it a good idea.

>>944159
The "character creation" takes place during an attack that completely levels a small hunting outpost, with the only two survivors a six-year old and his/her sibling, a minutes-old baby born just as the village was being attacked. Those are the character options that you have to pick from.

Like...here's what I've got so far. The line breaks denote breaks where I cut it short due to word limit.

------

The oldest memory within my recollection is of fire and death.

Before that, there is nothing, only a blank gulf that no amount of meditation could bring to the surface of my mind. Prior to that night in Ishala’s Hollow, there is only darkness, save for vague impressions as fleeting as the winds across the plains. The soft warmth of a gentle embrace, and a fleeting verse of a song half-forgotten. Sometimes if I delude myself, I can make out the scent of gooseberries underneath the layers of smoke and ash.

But on that day, everything suddenly begins, snapping into focus with an attention to that overwhelms me. It is too vivid, too complete, and I’ve often wondered if the memory is mine alone. Perhaps it is a composite whole, assembled from the accounts of Azun’an hunters and shepherds who recount to their children as to the reasons for my presence. Or is it the gift of a whimsome god, observing the world and all our lives from high above the empty sky, meddling in the affairs of mortals due to boredom or a flight of fancy?

Regardless of the cause, the events remain, permanently branded into my thoughts. It is almost a physical experience: the sensation of ash like snow that billows in the wind, the searing tongues of flame lapping underneath my feet. Even the calloused roughness of the hand that held mine, trapping mine own within it.

It was not cruel as gripped my fingers. Only urgent, only frantic. It kept me from tripping on some wayward obstacle, but it did not allow me to escape my fate. It was implacable as the storm that charged the air with a tension that went beyond the elements.

--------

“Take your sibling and go, do you understand?”

But it was too late. The ash was thick now, enough of it to fill my mouth and prevent me from speaking. Even as the cart lurched forward, taking off into the night and out of the burning ruin of my home, I was unable to breathe, let alone scream “Father, Father, Father”.

All I could do was stare, helpless and insignificant as the man raised his weapon and threw himself into a battle with death itself.

The outcome was no different than those who had tried to run away from death.

In the end, death always claimed what it wanted. It did not matter whether or not those it sought fled or fought.

And that man was no different.

>>944180
that's encouraging, but I meant more about.....

look, let me level with you: it's not you I'm worried about. I'm worried about the monhun name drawing in players who can't NOT self-insert, or can't characterize a person.

>>944185
Hmmm. Right, that is a valid concern given the whole MonHun background. I mean, I'll do everything I can in my power to cement the role of each character. Like if you pick the younger sibling, then you have to deal with big bro/big sis' moodiness due to survivor's guilt. And if you pick the elder sibling, then you suddenly are responsible for feeding another mouth and raising him/her in the absence of proper parents.

Honestly, I'm more worried about weapon selection. Due to the lore, mechanical weapons like bowguns, switch axes and gunlances are rare, so no "tech" weapons allowed. I shave off five weapons out of fourteen, I think, but that's still nine potential weapons to pick. One main and a sub.

Back to players. To an extent, there is a bit of self-insertion in every quest, so I can't really help that. But there is a balance, about 30/70 between player choice and how I translate/interpret that into character action/emotion. That way self insertion feeds into character development as opposed to taking away from it. And so that I have a little bit of a hand on the reins of the direction where the plot is going at a given point in time.

>>944204
>weapon selection
yeeeeeah, that might be a doozy.

Here's my take on that: at the very least, set the subweapon. You don't necessarily have to mention it beforehand, but each sibling has a set subweapon that is clearly stated before choosing main weapon and link their past to that subweapon(SnS because the older sibling had to carry around a shield to defend the younger, but was a kid himself so he got a small shield, etc)

Some people might get salty if they want the sub to be the main, but we're cutting the choice in half here.

>5 out of 14
wait...you're including insect glaive and hunting horn?

>>944220
Aye. And I have explanations for both.

As far as I can tell, the IG doesn't have any advanced or complex mechanical bits like the Gunlance or bowguns. The pheromone bullet is just the product of a kinsect pheromone sac that's triggered by a switch that applies pressure to the sac.

As for the Hunting Horn, I have a lore explanation for including it. Modern hunters are descended from the warriors of the Ancient Ones, and the art books say that they underwent extreme genetic altercation so that they could fight the Elder Dragons. Supersoldiers, essentially, kind of like space marines without the bulk and nowhere near as many extra organs. What the hunting horn does is stimulate the production of certain hormones within a hunter's body via its frequency that have a wide variety of effects based on the sound. But it doesn't last forever so that the specialized glands aren't overtaxed by constantly pumping out the hormone. That's how it gives "buffs" and why you have to play a new song every few minutes or so.

And there aren't any mechanical bits. Swinging the Horn produces notes on its own just as it whooshes through the air, which queues up and "notifies" the glands as to what hormone they need to pump out.

>>944268
I suppose that's fair. You could argue that that still makes space for crossbow-themed bowguns, but that just makes them an oddity rather than common enough to be a weapon type.

That's a lot of worldbuilding you have prepared, what timeslot are you planning on?

>>944268
You can almost guarantee I'll be there. Especially if Dual swords becomes a thing

Unless there's a FeMC

>>944306
anon, now you're just asking for a futaMC

>>944306
Also monster taming or bust

>>944316
Ah yes the holy duality of shitposting and dead quests

Gender and Main weapon

>>944281
Probably sometime next week as a one-shot just so I can nail down the system and see if what I've currently got in place works. Then after that, revising, drafting, etc. until I'm pleased and can do a more regular schedule.

>>944306
You can pick the gender of whichever sibling you choose to play as. Just bear in mind that based on whichever one you choose, I make the other sibling the opposite gender.

>>944325
>gender vote AND main weapon
here's hoping your char gen doesn't take 3 hours.

>>944328
Don't worry about that. Character creation happens in stages as the plot develops. I.e., gender is determined in the "prologue", traits/skills via exposition like "X is what you've been doing ever since the attack", but you won't take a main weapon until after an initiation with SnS as per tradition.

That way, the pacing of the narrative goes on without stagnating. Update every thirty minutes or so.

>>944330
>Update every thirty minutes or so.
>looks at your post sizes
I am actually really hopeful about this.

>>942569
A question fer y'all. Is a drama/SoL quest feasible with /qst/'s taste?

>>944337
If it's yuri.

>>944337
is it drama or "drama"

>>944338
Forgive me but i dont like yuri
>>944339
What do you mean?

>>944340
there have been some really, REALLY bad drama quests. Cliche AND unrealistic in both the circumstances and the way the characters react to it.

But I've also heard that Eclipsed Moon was kinda drama/SoL, in a good way?

>>944342
Eclipse moon is the sailor moon quest yeah?

Could you give one quest for the unrealistic ones? Just as references

The quest is about magical girls but you are not them, you are just innocent bystander. It will focus on emotional rollercoasters

What do ya think?

>>944344
could be neat.

I couldn't really give you examples of the bad ones. they're dead and forgotten for a reason. And I don't think tale/a/non, the one who made the terrible oneshots, has even been to qst.

>>944346
How bout that background character quest? The harem one

>>944346
Didn't somebody make a bad smut quest with tale as a character?

>>944344

> The quest is about magical girls but you are not them, you are just innocent bystander. It will focus on emotional rollercoasters

Can I say, that's going to be very difficult to pull off? It's not fun to play as the powerless guy, or the powerless damsel in distress, for that matter.

Quests are about player empowerment. If a player can't do much by him/herself, the rails become frustratingly evident.

>>944425
I could see it done well if the quest centers on the perils and dnagers of being the boy/girlfriend of a magical girl who rescued you.

Especially if it is the magical girl's fault that you got caught up in their issues in some manner, such as her feeling guilty for not saving your mother from the youkai that caused her suicidal depression and made her kill herself..

>>944449

That's the problem right there. A Quest where you play emotional support to an NPC is not remotely fun. It just doesn't work, because you're basically sitting on your hands going "Baby, it's going to be all right."

It's very disempowering. I mean, you could do it if you want to, but I don't think many players actually want to do that. It's why in the magical girl Quests I've run, I've always made the PC someone capable in his own right.

You need a break now and then, and if a Quest is solely about one thing, it gets boring fast.

>>944449
Snoooore.

>>944453
It seems i have many factors to think about now if i want this to go smooth.

As long as i can give players advantages to play support or at least empower them, the quest can be a good one.
Any other advices?

>>944462
Have mundane firearms still do something and give the MC a big shotgun or sniper rifle.

>>944462

What's your quest about, apart from being an emotional crutch to your designated love interest?

How much agency does the QMC have? Does the whole story revolve around the conceit that he's the boyfriend of this specific magical girl? Do you get to choose your girlfriend?

What does the QMC do, other than re-enact a gender-flipped version of a supernatural romance bodice-ripper? Because from the set-up I'm looking at, there's only one conflict, the QMC isn't allowed much agency, and there's no action.

So what's there to do?

>>944470
>>944462
One of the key issues with magical girls is identity protection. If the MC doesn't know who their potential love interest is, make the quest about finding out who they are and why they are doing this.

and for some real empowerment, have the MC try and save them from the inevitable bad end that most magical girls are threatened with.

>>944467
This. Make the MC a /k/ommando.

>>944474

Can I say that I honestly dislike that? I feels like a very outside-context kind of solution, and it's slightly awkward.

It's like how players usually want to play the Batman amongst the superpowered, but it's very hard to pull off convincingly without breaking one's suspension of disbelief.

>>944477
Then have the magical girl buff the MC with spells so that he can support her in combat against the shit she fights.

Enchant his body/weapons, etc.

>>944477
the main problem is that nobody actually does the Batman-level contingency planning. No traps, no stealth, just conceit that nobody cares about the "extra" even after they start contributing. Just arrogance that the plan will go well with hardly any thought put into several gtfo plans.

it's the one case where the autistic paragraph write-ins would have merit, and for some reason none of them pop in.

>>944487

This is sort of why I prefer to run a Quest where the PC is powerful from the start. As the QMC, the PC is inherently special: Making him powerful simply acknowledges that.

Like, obviously you're not just 'some guy'. You're 'that guy'. You're the main character. You might as well make it clear from the very start and then work from there.

>>944477
>>944487
And nobody has a reason to do those in the first place if the QM isn't ably proven. Like, who's going to put in that much effort when it's not clear if the QM has even thought the minimum 20 steps ahead in every direction? Not even autists.

MC's need to have control over their part and interaction with the story, or the players have no reason to be there.

The MC's narrative could be made just as important, and separate, from the magical girl plot with connections and correlations at unique junctures juxtaposed with their relationship developments but that requires being able to tell two good full stories with a living character and a player-influenced one. G fucking G with that.

>>944501
>Like, who's going to put in that much effort when it's not clear if the QM has even thought the minimum 20 steps ahead in every direction?
fair point. But then the question becomes "what was the QM thinking, making the MC a normal, if they didn't want 20steps ahead planning?"
which I am honestly asking, since I don't know why they went to the trouble of making a quest just to have everyone suck.

>>944501

Oddly enough, the girl empowering the guy could make for an interesting dynamic. Like, you're superhuman, but you're only superhuman because of her. It's a completely unequal relationship - you can try to go "Okay, we're equal" but you're not, really.

Imagine how toxic the relationship would get if another girl was attracted to you at that point. Remember, your girlfriend can take it all away with a snap of her fingers. It's unlikely that /tg/ will go that route, however, since most people try to steer clear of drama.

>>944505
I've seen an "everyone sucks" narrative work, or at least get semi-popular, when the story becomes about fighting forwards on the path of non-suckitude. When everyone's small talents or personalities become more important and the people incapable of making themselves useful are killed off, off themselves, or just plain die. Something something a navel gazing monologue to the powerlessness in seeking personal achievement in manwha form, only the magical girl and boy relationship is reversed until [!]whoops magical boy is getting himself killed time to abandon my morals for love~! Puketastic pile of garbage.

Would be a shit quest unless someone attracted players who like endless entry level petty suffering.

>>944506
It reminds me of a sort of priestess/queen storytime on /tg/ I can't recall the name of, where the MC was a guard or something and the priestess was this powerful enchanter giving out blessings left and right. One of the party chose to get close and then regretted it when the priestess is revealed to be clingy enough to off the MC's "bro" (another player) in secret to give herself more time with him. And an epilogue to reveal all the bad events in the local world happened because of her trying to drive her one true love (you) to her, because you're the one that showed up in her destiny scrying macguffin. Party ended up killing her.
That would be a challenging quest to run...

>>944506
>>Imagine how toxic the relationship would get if another girl was attracted to you at that point. Remember, your girlfriend can take it all away with a snap of her fingers. It's unlikely that /tg/ will go that route, however, since most people try to steer clear of drama.
>save your magical girlfriend's life by manifesting a new power
>that you got from cheating on her with the ice powered magical girl
>drama bomb levels the neighborhood
Sounds fun to me. I would play the shit out of that quest.

>>944548
>fighting forwards on the path of non-suckitude
>players trickle down by thread 2
>QM doesn't even show up for thread 3
yeah, path of nonsuckitude. Strewn with the corpses of a hundred QMs who really think quests are the best mediums to portray this.

Just to be clear, I'm agreeing with you.

>>944552

The funny part was, I was actually thinking the opposite, which would be even more corrosive.

> You save another magical girl's life, and she's intrigued - and attracted.
> She doesn't know that your power is actually from your girlfriend, and that you're just borrowing it.
> You have to keep secrets from both of them.

>>944561
So what exactly are we trying to do here? A game where we're two-timing two magical girls? What exactly is our end game besides the two leaving us like the prick we are?

>>944577
Forcing a yuri route between the two

>>944560
It's strange, too, that when QMs choose this sort of narrative they don't often realize they're engaging the idea for themselves and no one else. They're the one trying to fight towards not sucking, not the players. The players just get there after it's been decided pre-thread 1. If players are to want to fight to get better they need to have failed or have their favorite toy/character taken from them, otherwise it's just the QM with those feelings.

>>944552
>>944561
>>944577
I can see this going somewhere awful, in both senses of the word. Like Joker Quest.

>>944577

Obviously it ends in misery and death.

It's just kidding around, though. I honestly don't think you could make a Quest based solely around emotional drama, because K-drama-style misunderstandings revolve around everyone being a moron.

>>944577
Gaining all the superpowers and creating a magical harem?
Dying like a dog when our powers cut out?
Giving up on becoming magical and taking up an office job?
Leaving them all to be the Wicked Witches fuccboi?
Manifesting our own power which is the strokest mary sue power of all?

I don't know, use your imagination.

Since the quest was mainly about drama/SoL about meeting a Magic girl and interact with her as her mind deteriorate, i didnt plant to have the MC to go in the action.

The MC could already have a wife and might try to help the magic girl and maybe her friends. WHo knows, maybe if you/she fail some reality might be changed. I am flexible with who yer waifuin but i would make yer love interest have some disadvantages that might affect both of ya.

That was the original plan but if you guys like to get involved with it, i could try making it more like merc's cyberpunk idol management

What do ya think?

>>944598

You've already given away the twist, though. Also, my main worry is that your Quest sounds exceedingly linear.

>>944598
>Be the friendly normal in a circle of super-powered people

I'd honestly play the shit out of a quest like this. I am down for Snapper Carr quest.

In between being captured and used as hostage by the bad guy faction and being the on to tip the balance of the big super-brawl through our quick thinking we throw BBQs.

>>944610
It could be a short, comfy quest. Besides, normals can help super people in a lot of ways, especially when they're teenage girls who don't have drivers licenses or know how to do taxes.

The non-powered friend is the most underrated element of the superhero story.

>>944610
maybe so...
I was thinking of using it as a oneshot or at least test the water in /qst/. Might as well used it to improve my storytelling skills.
Sometimes, it could surprise you how the path goes

>>944598
I think
you need to think about this
Meanwhile, I'll restructure an old setting for an idea that's hooked me.

More seriously, drama/slice of life isn't great if it's the sole attraction to a quest because the medium is heavier with interaction and there are a lot of quests more interesting than drama spliced with iyashikei, and players are people with limited time to involve themselves in quests. Drama is good within the primary story and action while slice of life is usually used to heal or relax from the tension. If the players are the character inbetween those absorbed by the action and those living normal lives you might be better off trying, I don't know, somehow advertising it as what it is so people don't get the wrong idea and expect high tensions. Also shouldn't have told anyone that bit.

>>944620
And if all of that is in a oneshot, I'm actually eager to find out how you'll pull it off.

Quests are the worst way to improve storytelling skills. You'd get 10x more out of your time writing drivel and getting two friends who likes books to tell you what's shit.
Good luck in any case.

>>944624
Thank you for your advice and thank you everyone fer their piece in the brainstorm. Ill try to plan some bits and mechanics.
If you guys have more advice/ideas, ill welcome it.

Other than this, i have plans for angel/demon hunter quest, and dimension travelling quest

So, I updated my thread with a pastebin. It's two girls talking about something one did that could strain their relationship, no huggy SoL stuff, but I think it was important.

Also, I'd like to state that I'll be running another quest parallel to DWMA quest, starting in the new year. It has giant robots, drills, and bright green energy that may or not be powered by screaming and making cool speeches.

>>944686

Political intrigue between nations dancing on the edge of war, interference by mysterious supernatural figures, and combat between armored steel war machines resumes, because Panzer Commander Quest is starting up in this same thread as last week.

Maybe if /qst/ had a wiki.

Quests could have a synopsis and some basic content tagging to make it easier for readers to find something they'd like. Decent alternative for QMs to write general information and leave character sheets and such, compared to using pastebin.

Could also be used to collate reviews, and provide a place for archive readers to leave a comment on a quest. The latter could actually be significant if there's a lot of archive-only browsers.

No clue who'd bother running that, though.

>>945496

>>945496
That seems like a good idea, it would take a lot of effort though. How about a quest that has a different qm each session? That could be fun.

>>945593
sure, go ahead. It'd be nice if it actually happened for once.

>>945599
It would work if we had a big name qm do the first session to start it off

>>945610
What even is a big name? Someone big right now, who'd likely be running a quest already and have to take take a small break for a oneshot?

Is 780 followers on twitter big? Or 20 or 40 or 249 or 1400+?

What if the last quest they ran was 3 years ago? What if the last quest they ran was in a different place than /tg/?

What if they only do draw quests? (styleswap midquest?)

Hypotheticals. Still sounds like a bad idea unless the QMs already know of something that would work and are all free in a sequential timeframe.

>>945496
>>945593

At first you'd only need the QMs themselves to write something for their own quest page. A lot of quests already have a bunch of introductory text, pastebins, and other crap actually, so using a wiki link instead could end up being convenient and let them get straight to the action in post 1.

Having a place to properly introduce/summarise the quest to any new readers instead of having them go through the archives has pretty obvious benefits too.

Then just link the wiki in /qtg/ OPs, and people might actually start using it.

Aspiring QM here. I wanted to lay down some ideas for a quest and get some pointers.

My idea was a quest where the players start with a small group in the post-apocalypse as they try to survive and all that good stuff. I was going to give the players the option of choosing a generic group of survivors, a bandit gang a la The Road Warrior, or a cult that worships artifacts from the old world (i.e. "All hail the great god Mickey"). Then, once they'd made their first choice, I'd present them with some more branching choices like whether their cult worshiped the Almighty Dollar or the scaled beasts that guard the guzzolene stations of old or whether their bandit gang was renegade ex-military or was already a Hell's Angels chapter or whatever. What concerns me is how I'll build the world around them. Should I keep notes for encounters and factions or should I just keep the ideas in my head and just improv my way through?

>>947152
>encounters
a short list of nearby areas. Don't map out exactly what's happening there, but keep the list if there's some major event there that affects everyone sometime within the week.

>factions
keep the list and just go over it every time the party does something. do they approve? disapprove? Do they even care? No? Don't think about them, then. You can worry about their agendas AFTER you have a bit more experience with the here and now.

>>947191

I have two pretty shallow character "archetypes" for the main character in a possible upcoming quest and I'd like to hear your opinion on which of the two you usually prefer/appreciate in quests or stories.
>A weak character that gets stuck with a cursed power that makes him inhumane in the eyes of others. Prosecuted on sight and hunted, he tries to get rid of these powers while struggling psychologically and mentally with the questions of who he is, who he wants to be, what the right thing to do with the cursed power really is, and whether he's truly human or not deep inside.
>A selfish character that is shouldered with an item that allows him to overcome his selfish and self-serving nature to do great deeds/save others with the powers inherited with said item.

SOON

yes I know I said that like a month ago but with enough quests dying to where I can filch from there's actually a roster we can draw from.

>>947330
I'll take the diplomancer with a side of suave snark.

>>947348
Be that as it may, it does not answer which of the two options you'd prefer.

>>947387
It doesn't matter which one. That's the kit.

The second is an average selfish archetype but it's less existential and self questioning than the first, so it's already like the average player. Go with the first you want to gamble on getting roleplayers, go with the second if you want safety in self-inserts.

>>947330
>first one
the last time I heard that the QM rather failed at making the power inhumane. Made it seem more like the character was isolating himself rather than being ostracized.

>second
if you're gonna play that for "comedy", I'm pretty sure it won't be very funny.

how do you make your old quest popular again

>>947535
Add a twist that makes players angry enough to shit talk it outside of the quest in other quests and the QTG.

>>945549
That almost makes the quest sound good, in a faggy tvtropes kind of way. The quest REALLY wasn't good.

>>947535
You don't, you're fucked.

If the power makes him appear inhumane (lacking in pity and compassion) to others, then there's the question of how that works. Is it that there is a strong taboo regarding the power (i.e. all necromancers are evil puppy kickers), or the power only works when certain ethical criteria are met, or using the power has a secondary effect of brainwashing people into thinking? It is vague to the point that it fails to convey much meaning.

That being said, if we want a banner we need to get some ideas going.


How about something like pic related? A guy getting ready to go on a quest getting his scabbard put on by his waifu.

Or maybe the banner could be a little cheeky, like a RPG encounter screen showing an Lovecraft monster or something with the options being

>Snark
>Quip
>Murder
>Hit On

Stats are:

>Waifus: Not enough
>Lore: Deepest
>Difficulty: Best of Three


There's a huge obsession with Magical Girls on /qst/ so maybe we could do something with that? Maybe a class selection screen but all character portraits are replaced by magical girls?

>>945496

I think a wiki could work if we don't take the autism to tvtropes levels. Just have it be a simple directory of sorts listing quests by genres, linking to archives, and storing pastebin information.

I believe something like this could be useful to people entering /qst/ for the first time.

We should also do more writing critique threads-not quest reviews mind, but writer workshops where people post paragraphs and posts they'd like feedback on.

>>952489
Wait, couldn't we just start a wiki on fandom.wikia? I'd be willing to start it but I don't know if I'd have the time to maintain it considering I have to not fail out of college.

>>952475
Both good options, although I'd like to see some fanart from various quests get some representation too. At least the ones that are amusing without full context. Most board banners have their share of screen grabs of quality posts or images made originally for things other than as a banner.

>>952513
Maybe that encounter window from the second suggestion can cycle through fanart of characters from quests?

>>952518
Maybe, although I think any banner collection needs the full spectrum of /qst/tan images, since it is both the mascot and the main character of a quest.

I really don't think that's a good idea. It'd be impossible to keep it objective.

Objective views of media are shit anyways. I'll take clever unfounded bias or just regular prejudice over what people call "objective." At least then you know where someone stands.

What I'm getting at is that a wiki would quickly just become another place for shitflinging.

Good god, why is it so hard to think of a damn intro for a quest?

This is maddening.

>>955073
it is. It really is.

>>955073
Because it's probably the most important part of your quest since it needs to hook people.

>>955073
Come up with a slow build up to an interesting, life-changing moment for the MC.

Now cut out all the build up and make that your intro.

The Raiders continues with a confrontation with your dragon/lover and the seduction of your softest soldier.

Felt good to be running again even if it's here in /qst/

Can anybody recommend a quest or quests to follow and/or read in the archives? Any setting is good, I really only want four things: good story, good characters, cuteness, and lewds.

If you can deal with disappointment over a quest getting cancel then Persona 2129 is what you want

Maiden White ran on /tg/ for a bit before moving to Akun. Currently running over there and is in its finale.

It's an action heavy quest about a team of magician trainees blowing shit up. You can find the first thread here http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive.html?tags=LQAMG

The second episode takes place on a train.

>a den of depravity, shitposting, and worryingly-easy-to-fuck-up coding

This part describes 4chan quite accurately too.

>>955587
Also lolis (pedophillia) beastiality and futas.

But past that there are a few hidden gems. Just its a nasty place to go quest diving.

No Ryukuza Quest because my uptight Pentecostal aunt arrives today instead of Wednesday as planned. She'll be here for a couple of week visiting our family.

Knight's Quest:
>>955855

>>955551
Try Joker Quest.

The MC is an honorable person.

>>955551
Mechagirl Pit Fighter hits all those points. So does Sibella Quest believe it or not.

>>955734
Yeah, but 4chan doesn't have chat to allow every anon to turn off his brain-to-mouth filter, type something stupid out and hit the enter key.

And 4chan has never been crashed by one guy who got mad that his waifu didn't win the MC bowl.

>>956006
I've seen anons ruin a quest and get it canceled for that reason

>>956016
Sure, but has one pissed off anon ever crashed the entire website?

>>956006
>4chan doesn't have chat to allow every anon to turn off his brain-to-mouth filter
That doesn't stop anons here.

>>956021
Trust me there is a difference.

Those extra seconds where you have to type in the captcha and open the reply window can filter out a lot of retardation.

>>955779
>uptight Pentecostal aunt
Jesus Christ how horrifying.

>>956006
Pretty much this.

>>956021
Imagine if 4chan had no post timers whatsoever, and people just had multiple, ongoing conversations about fucking nothing nonstop.

Imagine the screaming frothing rage a chat with no limits spews out into your screen as people start to fight over which fetish/waifu/etc gets screentime for the session.

Imagine a site so badly coded that spamming chat can break the entire thing, that people can push vote polls into someone else's quest, that replying to something too many times causes the whole chain to break.

>>956479
>Imagine if 4chan had no post timers whatsoever
Oh my sweet summer child.

>>956479
So, basically, when /tg/ had a bump limit of 200 posts and spam could actually disable a board.

The secret is in medias res.

Or so I've been told. If so, I believe the best way to start a quest / story is with somebody being resurrected in an occupied DVD cabinet.

>>942569
I don't know if many here make Risk maps, but I'd like to know from any that are, how do you decide the divisions?
I'd like to make a world map for Risk, but just don't know about the divisions.
What I'd really like is one with population, fertile lands, minerals, coasts, Etc. all accounted for, with improving defenses, civilian services, Etc. all options.

>>955974
That's not how you spell "horrible."

>>957476
You mean borders? Go with simple geographic formations. Rivers, mountain ranges, parallels, etc. That's how most borders are decided in the first place.

>>957900

I'm running a regular one-a-week quest that's doing fairly well. Barring some calamitous decision on the part of the players its a fair bit off from a conclusion. I'm set on continuing the current quest, but I'm positively bursting with ideas for different quests altogether. I'm certain my regular players would be interested as it is along a similar vein/genre, but to run it would require me changing the current weekly routine to a fortnightly one.

Should I stick with the one quest for now and run it regularly and often, or is diversity and a fresh quest not a bad idea if time and effort is balanced between the two?

>>958577
you sound like you're already convinced about what to you want to do.

Is Doll Shop any good?

>>958856
Surprisingly yes. Interesting situations and a surprisingly non-autistic readerbase to go with it make the quest worth reading.

That's one of the advantages of it being a blue board. Players tend to temper their desire for smut.
