Weekend Quest Discussion Thread

>Are you doing a Christmas Special?

The timeline my quest-universe is working in means that heading into December for a Christmas Special would skip too many plot points and get too confusing.

However, I am planning for what I'm hoping will be an interesting one-shot Christmas special not involving any of the ghouls or anons but taking place in the same setting...

Also, was anyone involved in the CURSED GAME last night?

> Would you buy your QM a Christmas present?
Hell, if i had the money, why not?

Also, is there any place i can get a resume of Joker's Quest? Or do i need to read all the threads in the archive? Because i really liked the plot 'til thread 50 or something, but there's way to many threads to read.

>Would you buy your QM a Christmas present?
If I weren't totally broke, and my QM wasn't a total shitter, maybe?

On another note, what in your opinion is the best Quest ruleset?

>>44252656
>Wasn't a total shitter
What did he do?

>>44252748
Hit by a bus.

@vinzynotinverse needs to be removed from the directory

Now that finals are over, I'll probably end up running sometime early next week. Can't this weekend because I'm heading home.

>>44252786
You have to tell me more!

>>44252951
Classic tale of disappearing QM

Was in the middle of running a thread, he said his brother was in a car crash and he had to catch a boat or something to go see him?
That was like a month ago I think now.

have any of you guys ever seen a quest where the MC is a punk of one brand or another?

I am considering a thing about greasers and superheroes.

>>44251786
I'm running right now. Relatively new to the community.

>Are you going to do a Christmas Special?

Not on Christmas, but I planned on having something planned.

@DonskoiDmitri

>>44251786
>Would you buy your QM a Christmas present?
Absolutely not. Digital gifts are mostly games, and there aren't many that won't kill the QM's schedule if we all give timesinks.

Physical gifts, on the other hand....shipping is going to be a bitch, and I'm not in a good place to try.

>>44253900
>not giving your QM games that you hope will influence the quest

Here QM, have this golden oldie starship troopers tactical game. Maybe later we will fight bugs for humanity.

>>44254083
Sorry, I bought a copy of Xenoblade Chronicles X for myself already.

I haven't even had time to get presents yet. Thinking of just buying the usual clothing and stuff for family and games for friends.

Lucky dice, for this QM in particular

>>44254368
Make them glow in the dark dice. It'll make them extra lucky!

>>44254611
I'll buy you the glowiest-in-the-darkerest dice there ever was were if it'll stop us from dying to death and then dying again, QM.
Stupid hyped for Sibellanon finally meeting his ghoul Monday

>>44254611
Love your material, I have a lot to learn.

By the way, what is your advice, on how much preparation I should do in advance for a session?

>>44254663

I'm pretty hyped myself.

>>44254810
I wonder how Abby will react to her... and how badly Anon will spaghetti in the presence of a vamp
and I ain't just talking about her fangs

Living Weapon's up. It's my night off so hopefully there won't be any interruptions. >>44254949

>>44254810
I recommend trying to find a balance. You don't want to prep too much because some things will play out different then you thought they would, that's just the nature of it. I do recommend having "plan Bs" in place though. Don't give them too much thought, but have a general idea of "if this, than that".

And maps. Always have maps of the setting.

And always have an ending in mind. The ending is your lighthouse. As long as you can still see it, you're find.

>>44251786
I already bought my senpai presents :3

>>44255201
Thank you, note taken.

>>44253445

Didn't know we could link our threads. I'm still new to this.

I was going to post up my quest thread, then I remembered I didn't outline the story for it yet.

>>44255518
You're gonna have to throw out all your notes anyway, dude and/or dudette.

>>44255518
Careful anon, many quests never get made because the QM wants to make sure all the details are just perfect before he starts.

They never will be.

>>44255518
What the other anon said. Unless you force the story to go in a certain direction, quests are usually exploring new directions by your second one.

>>44255518
My advice: Outline important characters, and have certain set pieces in mind that you want to include no matter what. Whether the characters even interact with those set pieces or not are irrelevant, make them things that will happen unless the MC actively changes the possibility of said set pieces from occurring.

Major plot things that are important to the story, or the world the story takes place.

>>44253900
Scan a card or make fanart bro

>>44255518
Stop. Run it. Run it right now. Don't worry about outline. Just run it.

Ssssoooo...QD inferred he was gonna start back up after Thanksgiving, and he's vanished since again. I'm presuming holiday preparation and whatnot got to him? He's still on ask, so I'm not that worried, just curious. That one-two holiday punch tends to wear people out.

I'm almost certain that this topic has come up before, but would a sci-fi/fantasy mix quest go well? And would it be implemented as hard or soft sci-fi? I'm toying with a number of ideas to run, and a space sci-fi with fantasy mixed in is one of them.

>>44255977
Death Among the Stars comes to mind. MC is a Lich in a Space Opera setting. Pretty soft Sci-fi with not-Magic being used

>>44255962
He may even be in this thread, I know he lurks in the WQDT and sometimes even the Civ General thread. I figure he may be waiting for the new year since he does want to resume playing. He answered on Ask.fm even today so that's encouraging.

I think he's trying to hammer out a system to handle all the fuckhueg numbers the quest generates

File: AT-TE.jpg (5MB, 2908x1918px) Image search: [Google]

5MB, 2908x1918px

Oh by the way, for those interested:

AT-TE Commander Quest is going to be up tomorrow. Look for the AT-TE in the catalog, and get ready for the fight. Get your tactical mindset in place, troopers, because you will need every tool at your disposal. Lives depend on your actions.

Get ready for the mud, shiney. Maybe the rain will wash it off.

So, guys, a question: I'm kind of a slow writer, do you think that's a big problem for someone planning to write a quest?

>>44255977
If you do, I'd suggest avoiding "space orcs, space elves" etc. It's just tacky.

YOU HEAR THAT WARHAMMER? YOU'RE TACKY.

>>44256096
Do you have a twitter?


>>44256104
Fuck no. response times for QMs usually range from half an hour or longer, and are only really ever shorter if the QM only writes a few sentences.

>>44256128
Yeah I thought I took too long posting at 15-20min per post but then I realized that's one of the faster times for QMs

Post your quest ideas that you want to play in or run.

>>44256181
Mandalorians!

>>44256181
Skullgirls Quest.

Start play as a parasite, living weapon, bomb-ass cyborg, human/draconian/feral, gigan, or skullgirl, and work toward whatever your goal is, from destroying the skull heart to becoming the head of the Medici Mafia.

>>44256246
>Yet another waifu quest
No thanks.

>>44256128
@ObserverQM
Please inform me if it is up to date, I had to dig up my old twitter.

>>44256053
Yeah, he DID mention that before. Meh, I'll just go with 'decided to just make a clean start and wait until the new year'. Sounds reasonable enough, and like you said, gives him more time to iron shit out.

He needs to have some kinda auto-calculation program for that shit, I swear.

>>44256264
To be fair, any waifu you meet you're probably going to beat the shit out of because fighting game.

>>44256264
in other quests the pc tries to sex the waifu
in this quest
you are the waifu

>>44256301
He said he was working with a helpful anon through emails on that problem.

I may have to ask him for help with my own number-crunching because that's my weakness when it comes to running and my quest is getting pretty high numbers

>>44256096
You do know AT-TEs are the first thing to get bombed on the battlefield right? They're the equivalent of bringing a giant magnet onto the battlefield.

>>44256392
That's kind of the point. You needed to be there when this guy originally pitched the idea.

>>44256264
Nice job courting a girl as an umbrella or some shit

>>44256392
Oh, I'm perfectly aware. Can you, a clone fresh out of flash training, stand up to the rigors of combat?

It will all be explained come tomorrow's thread, no worries.

>>44256181
The one i intend to run soon is about spiritualists, people that can tap into the souls of things and make pacts with them, unleashing their power and being limited mainly by their creativity and experience. For an example: someone who had a pact with the spirit of a sword could either enhance the sword cutting capacities or give it the ability to extend it's blade. "Level ups" would be in the form of "Spiritual Resonances", which you could use to unlock/create new abilities or enhance your existing ones.
The setting would be a pseudo-Victorian (mixed with some classic fantasy aspects) world, where old guns would co-exist with heavy armor soldiers using spears and shields, due to the existence of spirits.

>>44256128
Oh, that's good to hear. English is not my first language, so i end up taking about fifteen minutes to half an hour to write texts, depending on their sizes.

>>44256461
n-no baka, it's not like I want to p-protect you from the rain or a-anything.

>QM topic
Nah, I have a feeling most people will be busy during Christmas, so a small quest like mine would most likely fizzle out pretty quick. Plus I'll probably be going out to dinner with family.

>>44256181
Quest for the Turnabout

Two MCs (a Prosecutor and a Defense Attorney so the players can tackle the courtroom from both sides) who take on various cases in the pursuit of truth and justice or a just a perfect record for success.

Outside of the Courtroom you will investigate crime scenes, gather evidence, question witnesses and involved parties, confront dangers to your case, cooperate with or sabotage your opposition, and prepare your strategy in court.

Inside the Courtroom you will present evidence, bring forth witnesses, prepare or cross-examine testimony, call out contradictions in the witness's and opposition's logic, and successfully build up your case (theory, suspect, motive, scene, means, evidence, testimony) while avoiding penalties for mistakes and misconduct.

This is the third or fourth time I've mentioned it in WQDT. I'm still undecided about certain aspects of the idea. Things like whether or not the two MCs should be like ships passing in the night or directly involved with each other.

Apologies for any grammatical mistakes. I tend to skip words while typing/writing as my mind rapidly outpaces my fingers.

>>44256566
Actually, now that I think of it, I might try a dry run of "Smurt Quest" on Christmas and see how it turns out, see if people like it.

>>44256490
That sounds fun, you should definitely give it a shot. Also as for English not being your first language, you write a lot better than most people I know, including myself.

>>44256566

Can't wait to read that myself.

>>44256799

I would definitely read that.

>>44253445

>we play as Eroberung, a royal umbrella lost after the war
>we weren't lost in battle
>we were thrown into a pit because our previous owner couldn't stand us

I posted this in /swg/ and didn't get any response, maybe here it will see some.

What would the interest be for a Quest set in the Rise of the Rebellion era, with the MC being a member of a local resistance movement against the Empire? I'm thinking of Red Dawn done Starwars style, maybe throwing in elements of the Wraith Squadron arc from the X-Wing series as the MC's crew gets more powerful/skilled.

Rather than being a smuggler captain or jedi in training or what have you, just a regular guy with a blaster rifle and vibroknife working with some buddies to stick it to the empire, like a slightly more adult version of the Disney show minus Jedi.

>>44256799
It'd be interesting if players could choose which lawyer they want to be behind during the trial, and vote only for their attorney's arguments. The QM would play the part of the judge.

If horror is near-impossible to execute in a quest, what's a good substitute for it even in a horror-esque setting?

Care to recommend me some ambient/noise tracks that aren't Tool?

>>44257957
Jump-scare horror isn't possible at all, but psychological horror can still happen so long as you're able to get the players invested in your characters.

Thus, the sticking point.

>>44257856
That would be extremely hectic and give rise to all sorts of namefaggotry and tripfaggotry that I really don't want to have associated with any identity I give myself.

Also there's a better platform for such shenanigans

>>44258176
What is the most essential thing to psychological horror, in your opinion?

>>44258253
Atmosphere and relateable characters. If nobody gives a shit about the characters or setting, it will fail.

Why is Archelon such an annoying cunt about posting irrelevant shit on his twitter and irrelevant images of his waifu in his quests?

>>44258301
Because he's an autistic turtle who can't into faking human properly

Follow links until you find something that suits you.
One quest that ran last week (forget the name, all I remember is it had a theater theme with reaper MC) but had one of those 'horror music mixes' thrown in, which was okay on it's own, but what made it different was that the qm added various ambient weather noise tracks as the quest went along, which could just be played over the edgy orchestral music. Worked nicely I think.

>>44258253
See >>44258286
See also: "The Monsters are Due on Maple Street". Knock out the power, turn a few appliances on and off, create a situation and watch people slowly crack under the stress. In good psychological horror the other characters should be as much a threat as the "monster", if not more so.

>>44256181
madoka witch quest
I know it's a shitty idea.

>>44256181
Captain of a lost carrier from the Homeworld universe.

Run from pirates. Build resource collectors, fighters, corvettes. Try to scrounge up tech to build a few frigates. Worry about whether or not you should plug your head into a computer.

>>44258644
I got the impression those were pretty much mindless manifestations of a former girl's crushed hopes and dreams. What would be the point?

>>44251931
I was participating there for the pre-curse stuff and when SQAnon started getting on a roll, but I watched the failure real time, that shit was hilarious. I think the added Style system was a solid choice, but I do hope there are measures in place where the idea of earning EXP to negated negatives/positives can and will be implimented in past and future quests, some of the negatives PQAnon got are absolutely brutal.

>>44254810
I too, am hyped for that meeting, should we get to it on Monday. Kinda want to see what personality traits are going to be added.

>>44256181
Superhuman Quest:
QMC is a recently awakened superhuman that has been picked up and brought to a facility that houses other Super-powered individuals. The facility is used to house newly awakened supers and train them to control their powers sot that they may either live a normal life in society, or defend the world from other Supers.

QMC's goal is to assimilate into a team of various Supers, form family bonds with their fellow team members, become a cohesive unit, overcome the struggle of your powers, your past and those of your friends, and save the world!

I've tossed about a few characters in my head, but haven't really done and serious consideration, nor thought too hard about a system, but who knows, maybe I'll find the time for it. Or at least find a way to turn my idea into something that is more than an idea.

>>44258729
II guess it could either be an "are you a bad enough abomination to become the new walpurgis?" quest, or bullshit plot stuff could somehow give the PC intellect.
I would personally prefer the former.

>>44256181
Smurt Quest.
Drawquest where the MC is an especially stupid, alarmingly short Orc that is "gently encouraged" to leave his tribe. He then goes on adventures, meets new people and generally is an idiot throughout the world at large. It's lighthearted and fun without any grimdark or edgy parts to it.

>>44258760
As much as I support the idea of getting some evil quests out there, I'd still be wondering what the point is here. What decisions exist to be made?

>>44259179
Who to attack and feed off of, our strategy during a fight, how we interact with other witches, how we move forward.
Witches aren't *completely* mindless, they can still think, just not in the capacity to stay members of society even without the physical changes. I'd gauge them around Chimp/Gorrila level intelligence, with the ability to make relatively advanced plans. It's just that most don't out of general psychosis and because they don't need to.

>>44255977
For a while I've had the idea of a sci-fi ship (and its crew) crash landing on a heavily fantasy planet in an unknown system. That could be cool.

>>44259271
Let's not forget familiars.
It would kind of be like bring an evil warlord in his castle, sitting ominously on his throne; only it's a fish with arms sitting on a piece of corn hissing around dolls or some shit like that.

Not exactly a special, but yes.

>>44261419

Come check it out if you're into that kinda stuff

>>44257957

Why would horror be hard in quest format?

Quests tend to have players get invested in the PC because it's presented as "you" (more pronounced if the players have played for a few threads), and a QM has perfect control over the player's agency without having to actually give them complete freedom like you would in a video game. Sounds to me like horror shouldn't be any more difficult than any other medium.

I mean yeah, jump-scares are probably much harder. I managed to scare/disturb a player recently in a quest with Lovecraft-inspired horror though.

>>44261517
>Why would horror be hard in quest format?
Because your userbase is 4chan.

You could be the re-incarnation of <your favourite horror writer> and someone will still post "BANE?" if you refer to something wearing a mask, or talk about fucking the mind-bending monstrosity you spent ten minutes coming up with the description for.

>>44261517
horror quests work if they are draw threads.

In which case it is AW SHIT LOOK BEHIND YOU NIGGA the quest.

Quest audience in those is basically those loud guys at movie theatres yelling at characters.

>>44261517
>Why would horror be hard in quest format?
Horror tends to rely on tension. It's much harder to preserve tension in a format where there are breaks between every single scene. Imagine you had to see a horror movie where after each five minutes they played a commercial break.
It just wouldn't work.

Also >>44261543

>>44261543
Though that's not to say you shouldn't run one at all.

Just so long as you're aware that no one will find it more than mildly scary.

>>44261543
Would that specifically affect horror? Any kind of serious quest should be affected in the same way. And I don't think it's a big deal unless you're QMing a popular quest where shitposting runs rampant.

>>44261552
Same reaction to this; would that really just affect horror? There's plenty of quests that rely on thrill and action and whatnot, and you'd think the breaks in-between would ruin, say, a combat scene. I don't believe it does though.

Granted, I archive binge more than participate.

Mad Max, although it's always seemed to free-form to run properly.

>>44256181
Want to play Constantine's style exorcists.
Exorcism of demons and angels' success will depends knowledge of the related religion and rituals.
Artifacts such as Shroud of Jesus,Demon sigils or part of True Cross can immensely help with fighting demons and angels.
You can play diplomacy with Heaven and Hell for favors and/or mission.

Want the MC to be an apprentice first before setting on their own.

Can partner up with a demon,angels,human and maybe witches...dunno.

Goal is to make sure Heaven and Hell do not create apocalypse and make sure that the Earth is a neutral zone

Sadly none, although i wish i could but i can barely post anything in my current state.

> player topic

Kind of related but whenever i try to put myself in the player's shoes, i just can't. There are some good ongoing quests but i can't seem to follow any of them.

What should i do?

Have you ever been given a world map that is actually important in a quest, and not just a vague navigational too?

I am trying to reverse engineer the excitement I feel in games where I find out the world I had been exploring was only a fraction of the full game.

>>44262478
That's not exciting in a quest, it's assumed. The quest can always just go somewhere else if enough people want it.

>>44258398
These are too UNTZ UNTZ melodic and not as ambient/noise as I was looking for. That's why I already namedropped Tool as the point of reference.

There's actually a pastebin that summarizes everything that happened until the most recent arc.

http://pastebin.com/xuZNynTM

Everything up to this point was basically buildup.

>>44263850
I should really get on updating that.

>>44263877

Most of it has been the boss battle to end all boss battles. I still think Armaros went down like a fucking punk, especially since he was built up to be the most powerful silver Player ever.

At least Kazuya is getting mileage out of his buster sword.

>>44263895
I think we've been fighting that boss battle for three or four months now.

>I still think Armaros went down like a fucking punk, especially since he was built up to be the most powerful silver Player ever.
His ending was a little too abrupt, yeah. So was Argent, for that matter. Silver players don't have the best record, really.

>>44264044

It's because JQOP actually rolls for the characters, so all kinds of weird results happen. Like Rook basically being a giant punching bag in the fight, and Haze being incapacitated by a single spell from Alura.

>>44264071
Or losing Hecate. ;_;

What's the deal with this dungeon quest that's been blowing up the archive?

>tfw Father is going through the QM curse

First a relative of his dies, then he has quit his job and has to move to another state and find a new job.

>>44263895
To be fair, he was fighting alone against fucking Kaiser and Bell, both of whom are among the most deadly melee combatants in the Quest. I would've hoped he'd have done more, but it's not surprising that he went down in such a gruesome way.

>>44264092
I still want to believe that there's a way to bring her back, since both her soul and body are technically alive.

I miss Brouzouf Quest.

I still find it hard to believe that a long running smut quest actually ended.

Just what is going on with Spooky right now?

>>44266117
It's Martian Triggerman. He's an integral part of Spooky lore, anon. Don't tell me you don't know his story.

>>44266176
I've hear about him all the time and still don't know anything about him.

>>44258644
I love preying upon innocents

>>44266199
Oh. Well, he's just some dumb cunt that seems to believe shitposting is a religious experience. Also loves spamming, imoutos, and dakimakura.
Comes from the country of Myanmar. I think he managed to get the whole country rangebanned, so now he just hangs around on Spooky, trying to bait people. Efforts to be rid of him (or her, some say it's a psychotic lesbian, but that could just be a persona they've set up) have mostly been ineffective.

It'd work if the inner monologue was so insane it was difficult to follow, but then the players wouldn't really get what was happening and you wouldn't be able to describe it.

You could have countless paragraphs about your beautiful garden and pretty flowers then bring in the conflict when some ugly weeds start to creep in, and you have to strangle them with thorns or poison them off.

Or something to do with composing a beautiful symphony or holding a perfect party. The problem is that there's such a disconnect between the Witch, what its barrier looks like and what is actually happening. And the Witch isn't actually aware of any of this because it's more a collection of instincts and insanity than an actual functioning being. With the right images, writing tone and music you could create the impression of being inside a Witch barrier, but the writing would have to be discordant and nonsensical in order to create the disparity between reality and WitchVision.

>>44267258
I couldn't see that going beyond a oneshot, but it'd be a pretty neat oneshot if done right.

Or slipping too much into the lolsorandumb territory of Hollow Quest Redux

>>44267350
There needs to be a point to everything that's there. You just can't clearly explain what it is.

Then the character backstory and tragic past comes out in the specifics of your obsessions, but it has to purely be alluded to through imagery or folklore or flower meanings or whatever. And there has to be an undercurrent of violence and danger to the whole thing that doesn't invalidate the rest.

Please tell me, why is your quest so good?

I'm here to announce a quest on Tuesday.

>In the 2020s, NASA has detected a strange, massive structure emerging into space in the orbit of Europa. The outpost on the planet has gone silent. Probes launched to the structure have given data that it's an artificially-made. So far so good, the probes say. However, that outpost has gone silent, and it's up to a team based on Ceres to go in and investigate what's happened.

Since it's so close to Christmas, I was thinking of doing this as a one-shot, before I come in with a (slightly longer) quest after the holidays.

Hey- is anyone who read/liked Extreme Parenting Quest still around? It was a 'mon quest where the 'mons were your own kids. It's archived here if that sounds interesting to you, and image related is art from the first thread.
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Extreme+Parenting
I want to revive Extreme Parenting, but I don't think the quest format is right for it. Has anyone had any success taking a quest's mechanics and running (online) tabletop sessions with them? If any of my old readers are still around, and that sounds like fun, I'd love to set up a session sometime. It'll be fun- you can make your own kids, I'll draw art of your characters and scenarios, we can do PvP or co-op or single-player.
(I know this really goes in the Game-Finder thread, and I'll probably post there too, but I thought I might find people who remembered the quest here.)

>Implying a probe can't orbit a moon

Yes I left out facts in the pitch. The huge sperg about the setting isn't particularly essential tonight.

>Battletech's space development in the 2000's is unacceptable!
> It's not like there was fiction in the 70's and 80's of far more advanced space programs in the 2030's or 2010's, nope, that never existed!

It's almost Christmas and this year has probably been one of the biggest dieoff of QMs ever.

From among the QMs I follow:
Soma has been busy with school, but was still able to run once a week
Crusty has missed a number of threads due to being busy
Languid hasn't run at all for a month due to school
Diarca lost his internet connection

I have too many ideas I want to run, but almost none that I think I SHOULD run.

Anyone else have the same problem? Like that one idea that sounds great in your head, but you realize is just niche spur-of-the-moment thing that you'll hate if you tried to run it?

Who's totally down for a retooled totally overhauled reboot of Editors? Preferably without that naughty, filthy powergaming?

I'm revisiting an old idea.

You play as a fortune teller who has mild precog abilities.Your fighting ability is limited, at best. You play more akin to a point-and-click adventure hero.

But with precog abilities, Players shouldn't have to. Avoid fights when possible, investigate when safe.

Then pick up random, useless objects and mcguyver them into useful tools because you have the foresight to see that you can use them that way.

That's it, that's the pitch

I have the sudden and strong desire to run a quest starring a squishy telekinetic alien doing ABDUCTION STUFF.

I don't have anything more to it than that though.

I must begin work.

>>44277441

You are magic Big Boss, and you adopt a little girl to be your successor

I really want to see more of JQOP's creepy as fuck take on magical girls. Wasn't there one like Yuuki Yuuna, except insanely mean-spirited and awful? The one where the boyfriend was a Judas goat leading the girls to their doom?

All his ideas are either high, chivalrous romance or misery porn.

>>44277441
Sounds shit. You should change it so that we're a a super special only-one-ever magical boy that gets to make a harem out of magical girls.

>>44277552
is that you planefag?

>>44277570
Planefag doesn't reach that level, does he? I mean, I know I never read his shit because the very idea of SWQ turned me off of everything he'd do past that, but I don't think he reaches that level.

>>44251786
>Are you going to do a Christmas special?
Technically.

They're going to steal their christmas presents from the government next session, in the form of PROTOTYPES.

>>44277549

> All his ideas are either high, chivalrous romance

There's something charming about that, like the youma quest and the garo quest.

>Are you going to do a Christmas special?

I'm trying to decide if I should do one.

One quest is in something important and the other is currently fighting something big. So I'm not sure if a Christmas quest would go very well with that.

I think my players may just want me to finish it up already.

>>44276836
I'm planning my own twist on Magical Girls, after my latest quest is over.

And of course, a cute outfit for PR or combat-light situations.

So like a shoujo manga? Amazing!

So yes.

>>44277837

> I'd like it more if it was just sweet shoujo.

So rape threats all the time, then. Seriously, I've read Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne, and there is actual rape in that one. Shoujo seems to be inherently rapey as fuck.

>>44277837
People who don't actually read shoujo tend to not realize that most shoujo is pretty rape-y.

Like, the whole "aggressive romantic interest out of nowhere" thing is romanticized to shit and back.

You're better off trying for Josei, which is at least more interesting to read because you're not sure who will get aggressively romanced at the end and who will be crying.

>>44277527
Can magic Big Boss be a grizzled loli with an eyepatch?

That's really all I want out of life.

>Okay guys what if X...
>BUT A LITTLE GIRL!

If you've ever unironically made a post like this you need to kill yourself desu

>>44277923
Ok guys, what if we take anon, but he's a cute little loli. That way whenever she gets mad we just think it's cute and pat her head.

>>44277937

That way whenever he gets mad we just think it's cute and dominate him.

>>44277905
>People who don't actually read shoujo tend to not realize that most shoujo is pretty rape-y.

most are just twilight-lite pseudo-pornography

The good ones have proper balance to the romance, so it comes off as creepy at first, but then sweet as you read on.

You are a guy living in a modern city full of monsters, spirits and deities (kind of like a modern day Gensokyo). An unspecified amount of time ago, your old home burned down in a mysterious fire. A random woman was kind enough to use her magic to save you from the worst of it. She even gave you a new apartment in the inner city to live in! However, as payment, she inflicted you with a curse that not only causes more misfortune to enter your life, but also forces you to pay money to her in specific instalments, lest you suffer a horrible fate. You weren't exactly the richest guy to begin with, so this sudden new twist in your average joe life makes you want to hurl yourself off a bridge. If only you weren't so attached to your existence and everything.

Are you bad enough dude to deal with all the bullshit in your new life and pay the rent on time? Fantasy kitchen-sink, light-hearted, comedic and possibly a bit of action here and there.

Rather than magical girls, i think i'd rather see Gamma Quest.

In a world where alien radiation makes monsters, superheroes, and supervillains appear every other week, an organization is needed. Because power can last anywhere from six months to 3 years, turnover is high and there just arent enough heroes.

>>44262099
Yeah, I deleted it, it didn't die because you can't kill what's already dead in the first place, only put it to rest

Considering doing a Star Wars Bounty Hunter Quest thread. What time period do y'all consider the most interesting from sort of a peasant level? Not a fan of the prequels myself, but I was sorta tosing up between:

- KOTOR, either during the Jedi Civil War or the aftermath during the time of the Exile.

-TOR MMO kinda setting

- Between Bane and the prequels with a bunch of OCs

- Shortly after Order 66

- Shorty before and during EP IV, V and VI

- Shortly after Episode VI with the Resistance, Republic and various Inperial Factions sorta trying to establish their own form of control

>>44278398
The period during the time the Jedi are wiped the fuck out and that "Force" thing becomes a myth.

It's better as a mythological thing that no one understands and chances are; no one will ever encounter it.

Why are there so few art quests on /tg/?

In the past 48 hours, there have been 8 different art quests on /mlp/. tgchan is almost entirely composed of art quests. All of the random quests that pop up on other boards are art quests.

/tg/ only has a couple of active art quests at any given time. The ration of text to art quests is something like 10/1.

Why the huge preference towards written quests?

>>44278770
define art quest

Ha, GraveQM fell asleep in the middle of a post

>>44278770
Because trying to do good art and good writing takes time for all but a very small number of people. /tg/ gets bitchy if an update takes more than 45 minutes. Other boards have the luxury of slower pace, or of lower standards (hi every /v/ quest).

>>44278776
It's a quest where the QM creates a unique image for every update.
A text quest is where the QM writes but doesn't draw. They may still posts stock images, photo's and fantasy art, but they aren't creating their own original images.

If the QM uses original art accompanied by writing, then I would still classify it as an art quest.

See >>44273242 and >>>25803908 as random examples of image quests.
See >>44271638 and >>44275097 as random examples of text quests.

It's not a good pain.

>>44278770
All of us learned how to write. The same can't be said about drawing

>>44278770
>>44278830
Also the term you're looking for is "draw quest".

>>44278770
literally all of our drawfags got shipped to tgchan during the nazimod days.

Very few returned.

>>44278830
if you're counting lego quest, do you count Hand of Fate? Seems the QM is playing around with mtg card creators to make his own tokens.

>>44278830
You mean a draw quest?

>>44278839
>>44278849
>You mean a draw quest?
Yeah.

>>44278843
>literally all of our drawfags got shipped to tgchan during the nazimod days.
2010 was almost 6 years ago. The drawfags that left should have been replaced by now.
Boards are constantly losing and gaining new content creators, and very few stick around for 5 years anyway. /mlp/ didn't even exist back during the reign of the nazimod, yet they currently have more draw quests than /tg/.

I dunno, I just don't think you can blame the nazimod for this one.

>>44278824
That seems reasonable enough.

>>44278846
I'm not a player of Hand of Fate, so I haven't experienced it first hand.
If the QM is just using fantasy art he found on the internet superimposed over mtg cards, then no, I wouldn't classify it as a draw quest.

Then again, there's not much point arguing about semantics and definitions.

>>44278987
>you can't blame nazimod

Well, explain it to me then.

Before nazimod, drawquests were the majority.

After, textquests.

explain these results.

>>44279044
>Before nazimod, drawquests were the majority
Drawquests were never the majority.

>>44278987
>If the QM is just using fantasy art he found on the internet superimposed over mtg cards, then no, I wouldn't classify it as a draw quest.
Taking images and putting effects and framing techniques. Within the context of "unique images", I fail to see what separates it from Lego.


But the way I see it is that QMs can make "content" by drawing, and they can make "content" by writing. Some people can accomplish more with one method or the other. But the things you can convey are different for each method. So maybe it's a matter of what themes are currently popular?

>>44279049
they flat out were pretty much the ONLY thing before the nazimod.

Text quests could barely survive and were scoffed at in general, and only in the void of drawquests even managed to get a following.

>>44279055

No they weren't. Your memory has gone wacky. There were maybe a couple anons that didn't like text quests and would shit on them at every turn, but the text quests gained traction quickly and surpassed drawquests in quantity long before the Nazi mod came along.

Part of the reason textquests became a lot more popular was due to the fact textquests could run longer and update faster than drawquests could. Netting a bigger audience.

You are conflating two very different things. The rise of textquests and the arrival of Nazimod. Because your memory is a wacky place that misremembers a pretty basic timeline.

Probably because you are one of those aforementioned anons that used to shit on textquests. You guys were never the majority.

>>44279088
anon there was barely even a single text quest in that time, compared to the dozens of drawquests.

You are the one with the faulty memory.

>>44279092
Prove it.

>>44279097
either of us could pull that card, since both of us are pulling the "my memory is right and yours is wrong" card.

Instead of bothering with digging through years old archives to fight with you on the internet about it, I'm going to drink my soda and watch a cartoon, and then pop in whenever I see a (you) come up to point out that your memory is wrong again.

>>44279105
>either of us could pull that card, since both of us are pulling the "my memory is right and yours is wrong" card.
Well actually I'm using sup/tg/ to back up my claim. Which even just going back to the earliest point of the quest tag, 2009, right before Nazimod, is showing a fuck load of text only quests and fuck all drawquests.

So there ya go.

well, that's a lie.

>>44279156
Not him, but that's like 5 actual quests. I mean I guess that's not "none", but...

Anyway, I wasn't there for that era and don't have any particular interest in this conversation, so that's my only contribution here.

Also, I'm gonna go pick up God Quest in the archives. That seems fun.

Hell, I'm having trouble finding any successful text quests in that era at all.

The only one that comes close is iron quest, and by modern classifications that would be a civ thread.

This is a lot easier than dredging up archives myself.

>>44279262
>>44279156
shit.
I guess it WAS all drawthreads back then.

>>44279044
>Well, explain it to me then.
Text quests have become the staple /tg/ culture, just like how furfags are a staple of tgchan and smut is a staple of anonkun. So, people who prefer our style of text quests are more likely to browse /tg/ than any alternative sites, which makes text quests on this board even more popular.

On top of that, new content creators that come to /tg/ will see the the text quests and be inspired to create a text quest themselves.
Drawfags who come to /tg/ don't see any draw quests, so they won't be inspired to create a draw quest of their own.

It's a self supporting cycle:
>Text quests are everywhere on /tg/ because it's part of /tg/ culture.
>Text quests are part of /tg/ culture because text quests are everywhere.
This logic works in all cultures, even outside of the internet. Newcomers will assimilate and emulate the actions of their predecessors.

Every questing community has a unique culture, and it's not hard to deduce where a quest originated from based on it's style alone.
Long winded and mechanics-heavy text quests (usually based on an existing IP) are what /tg/ knows, and without some sort of catalyst that isn't going to change any time soon.

>>44279658
that doesn't really disprove what he is saying about it happening because nazi mods shipped out all competition, anon.
In fact it sort of lends validity to it.
It's even extensively backed with two screenies.

>>44279688
When I started writing I meant to disagree with him, but as I collected my thoughts my opinion changed.
By the time I was finished I'd done a 180 on my original position, and I posted without realizing I was now agreeing with the Anon I set out to refute.

I know I know, I'm a fucking retard. I blame the nazimod for this.

>>44279709
No, that's how a correct argument and discussion should go.

>>44279262
Post the next month.

When Zeon Quest started. Cherry picking mother fucker.

>>44280068
zeon quest doesn't start until the very tail end of '09

>>44280068
>>44280123
though, as an aside, thanks for reminding me that exists, I should really get on it one day.

I just really was not into fanfiction quests at the time. My stance has since softened slightly. slightly.

When will we get a Gesellschaft Blume-styled quest? I want something that's all edge and schadenfreude, like Akame ga Kill.
