It seems like everyone is talking about quest threads lately.

Nope, that was April fools prank. just like My Little Politics, FitLit and couple others.

>Constantly starts metathreads about quests
>Gee everyone is talking about quests, we should take them back
Your autism is incredible. I know quests had that huge number of threads along with that huge number of replies that made them ideal shitposts; but now that it has a containment board, surely you can think of new ways to shit up /tg/? Or do you believe that quests will never be surpassed as the ultimate shitpost and so need them back on /tg/?

I wonder what /qst/ is up to
>Anime mecha quest
>/pol/ quest
>Animu academy quest
>Harry Potter quest
Removing quests was the right call.

>I wonder... if quests are allowed back on /tg/, what would happen to /qst/?
I know his english is worse than my japanese, but still. Reading comprehension, dude.

Quests clutter the board less than generals.

>>52593207
>Muh generals
Questfag's last bastion. "After you removed shit, there's still vomit! That's why we should bring back shit!"

>>52593207
Yeah, wouldn't want people talking about actual traditional games.

>>52593207
But at least generals are trash like "Anime Mahou Shonen Waifu Butler Quest Part CCCXXVII chapter 2.3: Peeping on Mariko's Pantsu!"

>>52592587
>muh "bring back quests" episode on /tg/
FUCK OFF, WE'RE FULL

I'll tell you what will happen - the shitty anime quests that are written more like VNs than actual RPGs will immediately flood the board, craving the /tg/ traffic.
Quests can be good, but the overwhelming majority of them are shit.

>>52592587
Fuck no

We don't need half this board populated by eternal quest threads again

That's less space for everyone else

>>52592587
As a questfag, nothing. Not a single goddamn thing. As much as I hate the fact that the screaming antiquest manbabies won, the fact remains that they HAVE won: and even if quests did come back to /tg/ they'd bitch that much harder for having tasted victory.

Give it a rest and try making the most of what we've been left with.

>>52593285
>50 different kinds of 40k and mtg
>actual traditional games

>>52593207
Heaven forbid people talk about traditional games on the traditional games board.

>>52592587
Saying that you're all fucking retards is an insult to retards. You deserve every Ring stain on your table. Somebody link me to Rule 34 pics of Yotsuba. All the boards need more scat porn and guro. Hiroshimoot needs to be raped by a horse, become emotionally dependant on it, then get cucked.

This is still not the worst post in this thread, because this thread exists

Nah, I like having 3 extra pages to talk about things. I already only have 8 because I hide generals for games I don't play; I'd rather not only see half a board.

30KB, 312x445px

Either way it would be both foolish and pointless to question Hiro's qualified decision making process ruling creation and destruction of boards.

why are CYOA and "elf slave what do" allowed but quests no?

>>52593398
Yes, 40k and MtG are in fact traditional games.

Pantsu Loli ERP Quest LXXVIII is not.

>>52593488
because "technically not a Quest", ditto for Jumpchain and Towergirls

>>52592587

No, it's mostly just you, but I have to admit you're very dedicated in your obsession.

>>52593522
so which one of these are traditional games?
>>52563936
>>52592542
>>52582027
>>52583883

>>52593488
CYOA, I don't know. Elf slave wat do is just shitposting spam, but it has history behind it (christ I remember those back in 2010). It's the same deal with /a/ having Sakurafish and that one homoerotic DBZ doujin being posted daily.

>>52593574
but we had quests back in 2010 as well, why is literal shitposting ok but quests no?

>>52593568
Oh, right, this part of the thread. Let me do it:

"But it's worldbuilding for fantasy settings for use in various games"

"Worldbuilding isn't /tg/"

A whole lot of shitposting ensues.

Oh, and Filename Threads are universal across the site. They're the sanctioned unofficial off-topic discussion thread.

>>52592587
How about this:

>/qst/ board is renamed to forum games
>allows ALL board/forum based posting games except for:

1. Freeform roleplay
2. ___ ending in dubs/trips/etc games

Why?

#1 is a garbage magnet
#2 is a spam magnet that clogs the archive and is /b/-tier crap

Sensible enough? It's just a slight tweak of the name and added rules, yes?

>>52593488
I think CYOA, Jumpchain, Towerwhatever should be moved to /qst/, if they try that new amendment/addition that the other anon suggested.

>universal forum games board

>>52593568
Please add:
>>>52573549

>>52593668
Better suggestion: quests are allowed across the site, but limited by genre. No anime lesbian quest on /tg/, /qst/ is used to contain all the quests for the boards that don't want them on their board.

>>52593568
All of them look quite normal to me.
Can I also assume you're the same guy who posts "Not /tg/ related, a thread died for this" in pretty much every creative thread this board manages to produce?

>>52593726
no, I'm not that guy also if you think those threads are creative in a /tg/ related way you have a problem

>>52593722
Or we could all just cut the shit and not try to backseat moderate when we not only can't all agree on anything, but many of us throw an autistic fit of impotent nerd rage if we don't get our way 100% of the time?

Can't we just... you know. Not be cunts?

>>52592587
We're allowed to have meta threads in the same way the mentally institutionalized still have the right to bear arms, and for much the same reasons. Just take a look at this thread so far.

>>52593760
HAHA!


No.

See: >>52593760

>>52593778
Whoops, meant see: >>52593761

>>52593701
Looks like ribbonfag's art, he's probably posting his drawings like usual. I have a hard time believing you can't ignore the occasional thread he makes, and want to drive away one of the few old drawfags who still regularly post here.

>>52593757
A brainstorming thread with cool folklore about spooky Icelandic Yule Lads was exactly the kind of creative thread that were plentiful ages ago. After reading the first thread I'm itching to include in my campaign a grumpy hobo goat-man who ends the village's midwinter celebration by crashing the party and drinking all of the host's booze.

>>52593600
We had some quests that were /tg/ related. Quests used to be site wide (/a/ had them) until they were all dumped onto /tg/'s lap in early 2012.

>>52594063
Quests were /tg/ exclusive for years before slowly spreading out to other boards. Then, some /a/ posters cried and moot moved them all back to /tg/.
The very first quest was Ruby Quest, on /tg/, in 2008. And there were a handful of pseudo-quests before that, on /tg/.

>>52594062
I have no problem with a drawfag being a drawfag and creating pictures, but it's a shit thread that serves no purpose. /tg/ is not the board for playing forum games.

>>52594063
Because /a/ and /co/ got sick of their brands of cancerous quests and since /a/ is one of the largest boards they were able to push them to /tg/. Before that quests were shit, but at least they were our shit and we could deal with that. Getting fuckers like Bromont forced here created a culture of pure shit.

>>52594144
Yes, but the "My imouto's Pantsu~ Quest episode 7531.2 redux of the redux" quest came when /a/'s quests got forced back here.

They weren't really a problem here until then.

>>52594144
Nope, Drew the Lich was first by quite a bit. RubyQuest was just the one that got shameless advertised all over the place and created the attenetion craving questmaster.

>>52594245
It's pedantic, but I count Drew the Lich as one of the older pseudo-quests.

>>52593488
They skate by on technicalities and thus show just how fucking arbitrary the entire thing is.

Running a literal pathfinder/D&D game on /tg/ isn't allowed as it would qualify as a quest.

>>52594482
Funnily enough, one of the animu quests running at the time of /qst/'s creation was literally using Pathfinder as its ruleset.
Most quests have actual rules and dice rolls that have meaningful impact on success or failure. Many are rules lite, but not all.

>>52594583
Most of them use some form of ruleset yes, but my point was mainly that actually running a traditional game isn't allowed on a board that talks about said traditional game.

>>52594062
>After reading the first thread I'm itching to include in my campaign a grumpy hobo goat-man who ends the village's midwinter celebration by crashing the party and drinking all of the host's booze.

this kind of forced discussion is pathetic

>>52593264
to be fair.... shit tastes better than vomit.

>>52594645
Forced discussion? I don't understand what you mean here.

>>52594659
And you speak from experience?

>>52594716

It's a meme, it means "stop talking about what I don't like."

>>52593722
>>52593726
>>52594063

To be honest, genre is a murky thing that can be lawyered to death, so you can argue if so and so quest adheres to said board or not by nitpicking and spinning things around.

So wouldn't having a catch-all board to dump everything there be a decent, halfway compromise?

>>52592716
Indeed it was.

>>52595155
But "muh traffic" and "muh I don't even need other boards."

>>52592716
Yep.

Thank god.

>>52595248
Methinks that's just 1 or 2 people pretending to be a crowd.

>>52592587
Moving all quests that have more to do with other boards than this one is a good start. /tg/ quests are fine, the myriad of /a/ rehashes of their favorite animu is not.

>>52598314
What makes something not-/tg/, considering we've had multiple threads in the past about adapting an anime setting into a tabletop-playable setting?
