Whatever happened to Quest Quest?

This is by far the most cringe shit I've seen this week.

>>46684219
This quest has a dedicated anon.

>>46684265
Four years ago at least

Is there a good way to mix Fantasy and Science Fiction or should I just use Stephen Kings method?

>>46685298
You could do it like Destiny, basically just fantasy dressed up in a sci-fi flavor

>>46685298
>Is there a good way to mix Fantasy and Science Fiction
You mean like Shadowrun?

>>46685306
That actually sounds pretty good. I didn't even think of that. Thanks, anon.

>>46685320
He said a 'good way'.

Like the OT Star Wars, that was a good sci-fantasy blend.

I'm redoing Cetic Monk Quest, (hopefully) better this time round. Old computer shit itself.

>Describe your approach to QMing. What do you do when when running/preparing your quest, and why do you do it?

I look up various historical figures and events that inspire my story, and think what I should do with them. I also do a good bit of reading in various philosophical and religious texts, to inform the views of the various sects I have running around.

>>46683835
>Describe your approach to QMing. What do you do when when running/preparing your quest, and why do you do it?
I just start typing and hope for the best.

>>46683835
I see /wqdt/ is back, what happened to /qtg/?

I might do a one shot today. It would be about a number of warriors of different cultures and eras who fight to the death to become the new god of war and also avoid a catastrophe that happened in their times.

It would be something like the Hunger Games. I can tell about the warriors that I have planned if you guys want.

I was thinking about running a Commissar Quest thread. Should I stick with a pre-genned regiment for it or hash it out in a separate thread?

>>46683835
>Hope is a dangerous thing, Anon
Dark Souls is a shitty franchise, anon

>>46684186
OP is now writing one for /aco/, called Bang Quest.

>>46685298
I sure hope so. It's what I'm doing.

>Stephen King's method
I have no idea what that is, but probably not.
>>46685665
Got shut down by mods.

>>46686454
>I have no idea what that is
Magic and Technology co-exist. No one knows where they come from and how they work exactly. Everyone treats it as something from the days of old and makes use of it as best they can.

Dark Towers, I think?

>>46686488
>Everyone treats it as something from the days of old and makes use of it as best they can.
See, I think of that as the Jack Vance method.

Are there any good urban fantasy quests running? I only know of urban oni

>>46686488
>>46686505
In the end, the name of the method is irrelevant and what matters is how/when you use it in your fictional work.

I got a little problem. I got two options
>Have the setting I like, but it's close to being a copy of an already existing IP, but with a lot of changes here and there
>Have the setting I kinda like less, but it's far from being a copy of the IP I'm worried about.
Which way should I go? Not going to reveal said IP.

>>46687011
Do the setting you like. Nobody's going to care or notice what it's similar to.

>>46687090
Trust me, they will, but I guess you got a point. If I'm going to dedicate time to write a quest, I might as well write what I like.

hello

Just putting a little anchor to my Old Bone quest. We will run on Thursdays and Fridays.

The Archive for those who missed it:
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Old%20Bone

We will start in 3 hours.

>>46686530
I kind of running one right now but it is mostly good detective work by our friend, Grim.

>>46685665
Last time I checked in /qtg/ before it got dumpstered, an anon was dumping a QM's personal details in there. That was probably what made them get banned again. More or less an example that we can't even have that for more than a few days.

>>46687694

What do you think of this concept?

>Harry Potter Quest: D&D Edition

You are a young, lightning bolt scarred wizard with a great destiny to defeat the Dark Lord Voldemort ahead of you.

However, to become powerful enough to challenge him, you have some dungeons to raid, monsters to kill, and treasure to steal. Try not to die on the way.

Ruleset: AD&D 1e or B/X

A combination of quest and play-by-post in randomly generated generated dungeons.

>>46688531
No.

>>46688531

Trying to run a quest using straight up tabletop rules kills the quest.

>>46688563
A lot of it would be in the background, and things like B/X and similar retroclones are fairly rules-light

>>46688531
>Harry potter
>AD&D

No.

My reasoning for this is that to properly use a setting, you need a system that encourages the setting. Using the harry potter setting does not work with D&D, specifically because HP wizards don't seem to have a limit on spells, not to mention that HP spells don't work like D&D spells do.

There's also the fact that trying to run a quest using explicit RPG rules is a near impossibility. The players are nowhere nearly coherent enough for the GM to give them the control they need, and the QM ends up having way too much on their table to do stuff.

That said, if you used a non-shit system, I'd be up for it...

>>46688320
Noone cares for Stubbs Crusade against the tau :(.

>>46688563
Yeah. Doppleganger damacy only ran for like, 40 threads man, and all the game of thrones quests that are running right the fuck now, man they are like fucking graveyards when it comes to participation. That shit kills threads like no other.

ie don't talk shit about stuff you know nuthin aboot anon

>>46688618

But he wasn't, anon, I was. I stopped responding to you be a use you seemed like a needlessly combative shitposter who wasn't trying to discuss anything in good faith, you just wanted to argue.

I mean, the fact you get angry about the idea of Reddit and Tumblr users coming to /tg/ (ignoring for a second the idea that people can't visit more than one website) doesn't fit with this scorn against people who know more of the board's inside jokes than you.

>>46688705
>I mean, the fact you get angry about the idea of Reddit and Tumblr users coming to /tg/
That wasn't even me.
I'm just ridiculing you for using the oldfag meme.

>>46688675

I'm not familiar with Doppelganger Damacy, did it run an AD&D system? Obviously no rule of thumb is absolute, but the few quests I've seen where someone tries to literally use Dungeons and Dragons rules without any attempt to streamline and adapt are usually just too slow.

Also I don't understand why it would have to be Harry Potter, especially if the QM isn't going to use the Hogwarts setting or anything else from the books.

>>46688583
>You've got to have at least heard of it if you've spent a month or so on /tg/.
I've been to /tg/ for 2 years now. First time hearing about it. Stop spouting bullshit and starting drama.

>>46688507
Skub is a meme, in that it's an idea and memetics is literally the study of the genetics of ideas. Skub refers to anything which has an active community which hates it and another active community that loves it. On 4chan as a whole this might be anime, while on /tg/ it might be 40k and among 40k fans it might be the modern necrons. Not knowing this quite common bit of jargon does suggest you havent been on 4chan longer than, say, two or three years.

>>46688751
And just before I post you confirm that you have only been on tg for 2 years.

>>46688756
If it's such a common bit of jargon, how come people who has been exposed to the site for 2-3 years haven't heard about it?

>Thread went from quest discussion
>to shitposting
>to some anon trying to feel superior because he's wasted more time of his life on 4chan
Truly, these generals are the peak of /tg/.

>>46688792
Ah, yes they are. Thanks for setting an example.

>>46688779

Maybe you just aren't very attentive.

>>46688842
That can't really be a porper argument when the time-frame is 2-3 years for a "common bit of jargon".

>>46688779
Things fall in and out of favor. Three years was the absolute limit to how long you could have been here without exposure, no matter how tertiary /tg/ is to your primary interests. You were probably exposed to the idea multiple times and just understood it from context, without actually realizing it was a common expression or you saw it and moved on without caring very much about understanding it.

I am not morally judgeing you for being new, or for having better things than fucking /tg/ to do. I started visiting this place (4chan, tg wasn't a thing yet) at nine, and over a decade later I can't let go. You should probably get out before it's too late, anon.

>>46686149
make a pre-genned. Make them unruly, make them one of the more under-achieved regiments, make them a bit surprising

>>46688886
>Three years was the absolute limit to how long you could have been here without exposure, no matter how tertiary /tg/ is to your primary interests.
What are you basing this on? And I've never heard or read the word "skrub" before. Pretty sure I'd remember it. I've heard/read "scrub", but that is not relevant to this.

So this came to my mind a while ago - Kender Quest. Will you travel the world and borrow all sorts of treasures while evading angry townsfolk or will you get slaughtered by adventurers trying to murder you for free?

>>46688578
While I am a 40k fan, a couple of things are putting me off.

1. Pre-existing character as quest MC. That makes it fanfiction-tier, and that makes me leery of joining it.
2. The Tau are the least retarded and least 40k-ish faction, which makes them the least entertaining antagonists you could have chosen.

>>46688928
It's skub, you retard

>>46688928
According to archive moe "skub" has been posted, in text, over 2000 times since the first of january 2014. Skub is also a common image posted, even without text, and is one the /tg/ banners. The chance that you haven't at least seen the banner is essentially non-existant. Just because you have seen it doesn't mean that you have had enough context to understand it.

>>46688997
Wait, sorry, it was 4plebs, not moe.

>>46688997
>The chance that you haven't at least seen the banner is essentially non-existant.
>having banners visible

>>46688990
You know when someone has been defeated in an argument when they resolve to name-calling.

>>46688997
Understanding the context of the word wasn't the problem though. I seriously don't remember seeing the word before, ever. I guess it's pointless to argue about it at this point anyway.

Noted, I´m in.

I always felt that skub vs anti-skub was important to know because it helps maintain perspective. If you don't know about it and you let yourself get baited into arguments, then it's a lesson to learn. A relatively entertaining one to teach, seeing how many skubfags and anti-skubfags there are.

This is why I was said I was torn between stubbs or a new formed guard from the Kaurava academies.

>The Tau are the least retarded and least 40k-ish faction, which makes them the least entertaining antagonists you could have chosen.

I thought the Tau as the main antagonist because they would be the closest ones to Kaurava and military victory over them would certainly help Stubbs ascension.

>Describe your preferred QM(s) writing style(s). What about the quest draws you in and keeps you engaged enough to play live?
heavy description, like the QM writes a couple of posts worth detail for each event or action.
a setting I can dig my teeth firmly into and/or easily understand. (Nazi germany, the Worm-Verse, Marvel comics universe, Hellborne quest) this means that the QM answers setting questions when they're asked.

that said, can we have a moment to remember good quests that never finished in the distant past?

Formless Quest, it had so much missed potential for doing awful things to nazis...

>>46689270
Capes over Rain City is only 3 episodes in and shaping up to be pretty good, check it out if you like super-power settings.

Homeless Mutant Quest is pretty good, but you have ~~125 threads of back-log to read.

Hellborne quest is okay, it was getting bogged down when I started my break from it 10 or so threads ago, and you have about 150 threads of backlog to read.

>>46689538
>125 threads of back-log to read.

>>46688531
This is a 9/10 idea. Run that shit

>>46688742
The original Doppleganger Damacy was 3.5e, while the bootleg/reboot was pathfinder. There was a pretty good one on a dead forum that was based on exalted 2e

The core concept of doppleganger damacy was simple: you started as a humaniod with no special abilities, one hit die and 10 in every stat that looked like a grey alient. whenever you ate something the size of a rat or larger you got to choose one trait that thing possesed. This could be a skill where they had more pointts than you, an attribute higher than your respective attribute, a feat, a racial ability, a language, class features like spellslots or sneak attack die or their appearance. It could only have been run on a hard system, and it worked well because the players decided general strategy, followed by the qm rolling out the result.

Wait, didn't Review Anon say he'll post one las weekend? He never did, right?

>>46690580
Someone was talking about it yeah, but I don't think it was Whiskey.

If your MC is a male you get waifu wars. If your MC is a female you get husbando wars. Is the only way to win, by not running a quest?

>>46690533
I miss HQR right up to the point the MC stopped rhyming and the player base turned into entitled shit who didn't want to own up to their actions.

Possibly the best ending of any quest though. So many dead waifus. So much delicious but hurt.

Fixed that for you.

Do it like Joker, let the players do whatever they want then put them through the emotional wringer. At some point the players wised up and stopped trying to fuck people.

>>46690883
>Do it like Joker
No good advice has that in the sentence.

>>46690893

I liked the interactions, which were very shoujo-manga. You know the kind where everyone takes everything the wrong way and it leads to immense amounts of angst?

>>46690928
That's the worst kind of writing.

>>46690928
I guess if you are into that kinda thing.

>>46690759
Sorry to twist the knife, but who is that?

>>46690928
But anon, is it really Shoujo without reverse harems and hidden beauties? Angst is just one trick in the book!

>>46690702
Give the mc a waifu before the quest starts, obviously.

Mediocre quest that had a mystery about the MC's identity. QM died, so that mystery was never solved and people drone on and on about how they miss it.

Hey I'm lucky if I get a thread a month for some of my quests.

How many threads/installments in is it a good time to tell your players it will become a weekly thing instead of a daily thing?

>>46690977

If you look at it from the female perspective, it's a shoujo manga. I like that all the girls have this little story going on by themselves.

Why this

>>46691113
I was reading through the archives and was a little confused.

Is it basically an item where we can copy and store someone's moves, then use them whenever we want to?

>>46686149
So what works best narratively.

Is the Commissar a strict, by-the-books type? Give him an unruly, informal regiment with loads of abhumans including a felinid scout squad

Are players wanting to play not!Ciaphas Cain instead? Set them up with some diehard Emperor zealots who might just shoot their Commissar for cowardice/heresy instead of the other way around

Let the player decide. Thrust them into a warzone, and see how it plays out. Do it as a 'first day on the job' thing. Your mentor just died when a rocket hit his Chimera, and he got guts all over your body.

Now a section of wide-eyed, terrified Guardsmen are looking at you and going: "Sir...What do we do?"

It was pretty dumb with a flaccid ending.

Still better than his book premise, though

Everything I posted is something Vox himself has volunteered in his quest.

I was bitching about him volunteering that personal info.

Each warrior has its own weaknesses and fortes. The Terminator needs to recharge its cells from time to time and meanwhile it will be completely exposed, the plague doctor knows about chemistry, she could create an acid to attack the Terminator's circuits and core during those critical moments.

No, unfortunately. He wanted to post a review last weekend, but never did.

Cut the guy some slack. Reading quests is difficult because most of them just aren't that good. And blandness may be even worse than straight up awfulness.

>>46694158
He said that the next quest he was going to review was AT-TE quest, and because of how quickly Monday's thread died he is likely going to post that (and perhaps another shorter quest?) review this weekend. Maybe not tonight, but at least by the end of the weekend.

Damm, at this rate he's never gonna review Joker Quest. Shame.

No idea.

How was SAQ, I never got drawn into it for one reason or another (Sith done right, personally, is an incredibly hard thing to do. I want to sympathize with a sith, not just see them as a power fantasy because that makes a poor character.)

Was JAQ any good? I tried reading the first thread and was... Well, let's just say I didn't come back around for the second thread.

At least that Star Wars basically freeform quest is no longer running. That was appalling and exhausting to even glance through because of how ridiculous its writing style was.

Clone trooper quests are best SW quests.

>>46694592
Why is anon stalking Vox so hard? What does he even do?

Today I had some free time. I'm doing good with my school project so I could afford running something.

I don't have enough time to run a full quest but I guess I could do a oneshot from time to time.

I have tried running and I have failed tho.

>>46694639
It was more of a joke quest if anything but it was enjoyable as hell, I also enjoyed the edgy smiles of SAQ. A shame they disappeared.

>>46694700
Well good luck with your stuff then Ax, Hopefully you'll get real free time soon mate.

>>46694682
Didn´t we drive him away or did we get a new one?

>>46694682
Completely agreed. I think that in your favored QMs thread you ought to take a little time post thread to discuss what REALLY impacts you about their writing, basically give mini reviews as the quest is ongoing so potential issues can be addressed as they come up.

Review Anon, though, has a fantastic way with words that makes his essay-like pieces just gems to read. I even read his reviews of quests I haven't even heard of, that's how good I feel he is.

Review Anon quest when?

>>46694723

My point was that both of statements were without substance because there hadn't been given any reason for the views, they'd just been said. So you could just repeat the same sentences back at each other and achieve nothing.

Moot and Hiroshima Nagasaki should open /rew/ were people could review whatever the fuck they wanted, including quests.

>>46695442
Are you then, perhaps, implying they should provide a constructive review of reviewanon?

You seek to open dangerous grounds of recursive reviewing, anon. Are you prepared to go that deep?

>>46695555
Yes. It's important. Layout, presentation, composition, content.

I think he's great, but I love boring stuff, so I'm a horrible judge.

Do I need to be silenced because I'm triggering people?

I was shitting on Vox being ultra personal with shit I don't want to hear.

i was shitting on certain railroady or oddly limiting elements of Vox's quest.

That shit is much more about quests and their discussion than half the standard bullshit that goes on in here.

like, would you rather hear complaints about a QM that actually runs and maybe have a discussion about the purpose of dice or the nature of choice?

Or would you rather discuss some quest concept that isn't going to run at all ever because the person suggesting it is a total bitch with no free time who'll AT BEST run for three threads before quitting.

Are there too many anime quests? I sometimes hear complaining about it from those outside the anime quest audience but they seem popular enough to draw in a decent amount of questers.

>>46696308

>>46696355
>Are there too many anime quests?
No.

> I sometimes hear complaining about it from those outside the anime quest audience but they seem popular enough to draw in a decent amount of questers.
This is an anime forum. Anime quests are to be expected. Those who dislike anime can put up or shut up.

>>46691784
Mods probably assumed someone unable to parse why doing this is something of a bitch ass faggot was under 18 and needed a ban.

> But I remember when

Shut the fuck up, I was there and /b/ was never good. Go the fuck back to plebbit if you want to do that sort of stuff. Or at least /b/.

>>46696410
Nah. I don't feel like typing out another essay about the illusion of choice. But the crux was that it is incredibly easy for a QM to fool his players without them ever knowing about it and so complaining about railroading is both pointless and probably hitting more false positives than not.
On the flipside however, it also means a QM whose railroading is genuinely transparent to all is just a really bad QM in general because this shit is fucking easy, come on son.

>>46696483
I wasn't banned, so you're wrong there.

You're acting like I listed his house address.

I talked about his kickstarter and his webcomic and him coming onto qtg drunk and bitching.

I'm sorry, when did we suddenly start supporting namefags?

Why don't you go back to tumblr if you don't like this site.

>>46696308

I hear what you're saying. I think it comes down to mods having a lot of shit to filter and not a lot of time, so if they see something that even looks like doxxing they delete it out of hand to be safe.

Remember these guys often moderate more than just one board, and by job definition they see a concentrated dose of the worst posters on the board, because they're the ones that get reported. Imagine dealing with the dregs of /v/ every fucking day and you kind of have an idea.

>>46696494
I think obvious railroading comes in two forms - The one where the QM is generally shit, in which the QM tries to conceal it and just mucks it up really hard.

The second form would be when them QM panics from a player choice or action they never would've thought would happen. It was obvious in Shadow Quest with the "Avatar of Chaos" and in German Hollow Quest with the sword.

So i think saying all QM's with obvious railroading are shit is wrong, since writing quality can depend very heavily on stress or other outside factors.

I basically want to say that QM's that fuck up once with obvious railroading don't have to be shit.

>>46696537

Said anybody who reads his quest can find links to them because he himself posts them. Vox would not even deny this truth.

You follow DLQ, don't you? And quests in general? There's criticism and just driving QMs off. But hey, it's not like it didn't already happen with drawfags. Let's not say the average 4chan user has anything between his two ears.

>>46696608
That's true, sometimes the playerbase can take us for a ride. And sometimes you're just not having a good day and so the thread can really go downhill as a result.
I think in such situations using 'Yes and..." or "Yes but..." is better than simply "No" however.

>>46696644
>Railroading is pretty much a necessity in narrative quests, yes?

Yes, but you're not actually supposed to acknowledge it. A good QM railroads his audience without them ever realizing it.

>>46696753
You can't say I've driven off Vox, because he's still here.

He asks for critique. At that point in the thread, he was being critiqued by someone else.

Vox actually made a positive change to his quest after reading what I wrote, with the use of a tiebreaker roll when a decision was evenly split.

My criticism has contributed to the quality of a quest.

I'm super special.

How's that Vox is so spoken of yet his quest has such low answers and participation. Smells fishy as fuck

Uh, i might be wrong then. It's just that I remember seeing one of his threads and it had like 13 answers and had been active for several hours.

>>46696955
>active for several hours.

so 1 post from Vox or maybe 2 if you're lucky

So he got thirteen responses to one vote.

That's better than most.

>>46696955
He runs constantly, so sometimes threads get refreshed at odd times.

But he's consistently in the 40s.

The other thing is that Vox is aggressive about getting feedback, so his quest actually gets better and better.

If you want to see a criminally under-posted quest, look at Valen Quest.

> MFW I switch between being polite with Vox and raging shit posts with the other Anons who jump on his dick and insist nothing is wrong. Especially when I bring up dice.

> MFW my write in posts also still keep winning.

They hate us cause they anus. Also Vox' fan base is a little rabid about "since I enjoy this it means it's perfect".

>>46697280
Which is funny, since he keeps asking for critique.

Like, imagine a slightly chubby person saying, hey, give me weight loss tips.

And when you attempt to do it, an entire legion of body image police jump to their rescue and try their damnedest to explain how calories in calories out isn't a perfect explanation and other such nonsense.

If Vox is an actual published writer, I assume his ego can venture outside the hugbox every once in a while.

Forgot my face!

>>46697344
Honestly, I'm kind of done talking about it. Just tired. Other posters are fags what else is new, Vox handles his shit like an adult so really I should just stop taking the bait and not respond to them. Hell, they posted that wqd was having a civil war around the time of >>46688467.

But like I said, I enjoy my rage. So I will probably continue shit posting when there are 6 hours between posts as is tradition.

As soon as I saw a video about bullying a robot, I knew I would get a lot of use out of it here.

>>46696721
Does that mean we can report his quest for commercial advertising?

I think Brine disappeared for Christmas and then in January he got a promotion at work and got busy with actually having a life instead of writing edgy power fantasies for strangers on the internet.

>>46697733

>>46697280
The write-ins today have been fuckin' godly. Those were you?

>>46697280
I can't remember which of my write-ins were supported and which weren't. I think a lot of them were in New Hell?

I wonder who is baiting whom at this point.

Script Kitten Quest is now live.

Ah, some good news for once.

>>46700743

Someone should run a feminist steampunk quest.

>>46701333
What would make you think that?
I mean, sure I'd play it, sounds interesting if nothing else.
Just wondering what would make you think of that.
