>vocaroo threads good but they appear rarely

>If you could ban one thing on the board what would it be?
Metathreads
less threads that go more than 3 parts.
If it was good and constructive, something would've come out by the 2nd thread and 3rd should be wrapping it up with the OP getting shit done.
I like non-general game discussions.
>>44382581
>hates discussing the community he's a part of
why
Boobs.
Threads about boobs.
It is almost impossible to have a bad, angry or otherwise negative thread about boobs.
>>44382541
>Less of?
Quests....
Ban? No certainly not, but definitely less of. Perhaps if some of them moved to other related boards.
>>44383020
We have constant threads about idiotic players and GMs though
>more quest threads
> ban? Nah. I can not click on something I don't like.
>>44383080
or it could be banned.
Just saying.
>>44383123
Eh. Fine then. Ban anything loli related.
I know it's been beaten to death by this point, but I do think quests need their own board. Not because they're bad but because I think they've expanded beyond the original intent of /tg/. I know /tg/ doen't get nearly the amount of traffic of /v/, but there are four vidya boards now. Having a board for quests in addition to a board for the discussion of tabletops would be an excellent way to refocus /tg/ on it's original purpose in addition to stymying some of the grumbling that sharing a board has caused over the years.
>>44382611
I'm pretty on board with this one, though I enjoy recurring threads with many parts if they're infrequent, like mages guild threads and All Guardsmen Party story time threads.
>>44383187
>expanded
There is a wide variation of quests. No argument there.
Is there enough to need another board? I wouldn't think so.
My favorite are collaborative worldbuilding threads. Well, when someone doesn't shit in the mix immediately with shitposting. I've seen some good settings made through /tg/ though. It's a good feeling.
>>44383020
If you think so, you should have seen what the shitters did to the /wst/ threads. They used to be a fun counterpart to writethread wednesdays once upon a time, then it became a shitposter parade, and finally the mods just gave up and let the anti-/wst/ trolls win, by deleting all the /wst/s, fake or not.
Last I checked the /wst/ was wheezing on life support on /d/, with constant dickgirl floods drowning out any discussion or original content.
>>44382541
I like threads where everyone is roleplaying, like the Mages Guild threads or this one from a year ago:
https://warosu.org/tg/thread/31805332
-which is pretty much a Mages Guild thread without the same opening.
Actually, how long has the Mages Guild been a thing?
>>44382541
Assuming it's an increase in quantity of material in addition to frequency of threads, CYOAs. They're the only reason I visit /tg/ anymore.
>>44383912
This. CYOAs are what brought me to /tg/, and by extension to tabletop gaming in general.
>>44382541
When I make settings as a GM, I usually end up doing an ass-ton of writing, and I like to get it out of my system when the fancy strikes.
So storythreads having to do with fantasy or general homebrew stuff are nice.
>>44383755
I don't understand why you're trying to re-write history so hard. I mean, the threads are still in the archive. People can read what they were about.
And, they really weren't a ""fun"" with extra quotation marks counterpart to a thread that didn't really bar smut to begin with. If it was just a matter of writing smut, you could have posted it in the writefag wednesdays threads. Same thing with the ERP threads, where there really was no reason for their existence since the few legitimate activities they took part in could have fallen into the game finder threads.
What those threads ended up becoming were chatrooms for fetish discussion. That's really just what you want, and you've been trying to push for that for quite some time, even to this day.
>>44385476
I'm not rewriting anything, I was there the whole way down. You might have a different POV, but that's how I saw it.
>What those threads ended up becoming were chatrooms for fetish discussion.
That was the ERP thread's problem. Some shitposters tried to derail the /wst/ with fetish arguments on a pretty regular basis during the year-long downward spiral, but that was never what the threads were about. If you had a weird fetish, you made your request and maybe you got something. Nobody else had to read it if they didn't want it, so apart from anonymous people mysteriously trying to stir up shit in the later days, nobody much cared.
>>44382541
>Favourite
A funny thread where all or nearly all posts contribute to its spirit and refine it
A thread that starts as a discussion on a topic that's not usually discussed, or a topic that usually degenerates into shitflinging, yet in this case remains civil and with people calmly presenting their points and bringing up facts or opinions
An art thread, especially if it's one with a novel theme.
A good quest or story thread
>Banworthy
honestly can't think of one that's not already bannable
I love CYOAs.
I think anything loli-related should be contained, extricated, and just generally discouraged. That's not /tg/, it's shit-tier fetish fuel.
Lately, I have grown to hate anything to do with star wars.
Not because of my opinion on the movie,more so the masturbation over the characters in all directions.
I get it, you like thing. Many people liked thing. Some more hated thing. Making 14 threads about a girl and a storm trooper is excessive. Posting riot trooper in every thread for 2 weeks is shitposting.
>>44386330
After the last few weeks of reaction-image + 1 line of greentext threads, I'd rather have more star wars than that shit, thank you very much.
Also, magical realm threads. I refuse to believe that so many people in the hobby are here just to try and force their sexual fantasies in games with their friends.
Less meme shitposts like stat mes and excuse me threads.
More world building and homebrew threads
>>44382541
I claim that every thread is the worst kind, because I am a troll who will pour vitriol on anything popular in order to elicit a reaction.
I'd like to see less thread policing about what is and is not /tg/-related.
There is a lot of topics I don't care for and in most cases filtering key words is good enough. There is no point to bitch about it.
What I don't like is assholes intruding in a conservation claiming the subject is unrelated to /tg/ when they just want to talk shit about something they don't like.
The conversation grinds to a halt as people defend their topic instead of ignoring and reporting, and it's fucking annoying.
>>44386485
>excuse me threads
I love those threads.

There is precedent for this.
>>44386948
This, again. It seems to be the latest way dumb assess from outside of /tg try to derail threads. Best thing is to try and ignore them.
>>44382541
>If you could ban one thing on the board what would it be?
Quests, CYOA's and all those endless cancerous circlejerks that got dumped here from other boards by a cuck that was too scared to kick them off.
>>44387317
Yeah, until they start answering themselves to stir shit up.
The filename threads have been really poor lately.
>lately
>>44387332
You should really get 4chan X
Filtering apps for 4chan and tumblr make both sites much more bearable.

>>44387326
A lot of Quests and RP shit is cancerous, but by falling under the umbrella that is "roleplaying" and/or "games" they both get a place on /tg/ until they get a board that fits both those categories better.
I think a/qu/est or /rp/ board would be super useful, especially if it came with higher post and image limits so they would not have to create so many threads per quest/game.

Clearly, in order to give quests their own board, we need to throw massive trantrums, shitpost them into oblivion, and start using bogeyman paranoia to drive them off the board.
If it gives MLP its own board, then it's only right that it's done to something that actively takes up half of the front page.
>>44387444
>using the front page
no wonder you're so uptight, you should switch to catalog and just filter out threads you don't like.
You don't have see any thread with the word "quest" or CYOA or Civ or whatever in the OP if you don't want to. Unless your time truly has no value and you'd rather shitpost than filter out, then go ahead with the tactic of shitpost wars.
>>44387505
It's the only effective way to get shit done here. Filtering doesn't solve the problem, it alliws it to spread unseen like the cancer it is.
>>44387505
I like to see how threads are going without opening every single one and scrolling to the bottom, thank you.
>>44382541
if i could ban one thing i'd straight up ban tripfags, for all the other brands of cancer this board has been known to have, from quests to metaposting to everybody not liking what others like to crossboard shtters, the absolute worst thing we've ever had was the nazi mod, but after that the second worst thing we've ever had was tripfags. we don't get many tripfags compared to other boards, but our tripfags are a special kind of cancer thats at least 100 times worse then the average tripfag.
need i remind you guys of Jim Profit or Virt?
>>44387676
Need I remind you that the majority of people don't notice a tripfag until idiots like you throw massive tantrums like a tumblrette?
>>44387708
Anon Tripfags are a self perpetuating shitstorm, they are really good at getting under peoples skin with their sheer retardation and faggotry. Also may i remind you it only takes one anon to notice the giant faggot in the room and derail the thread, even if i was to ignore the damn thing, as soon as someone else doesn't that's typically the end of the thread.
>>44387743
>as soon as someone else doesn't that's typically the end of the thread.
Which makes that person the problem, not the tripfag. If you get triggered that easily, you should go to some woman's support forum and cry about how your kitty died and how you have PTSD from it.
Anyone on any board has the potential to be a faggot. If someone is being a faggot, then use the report button. If they're not breaking rules, then grow some thicker skin because throwing an autistic tantrum is shitposting.
>>44387444
I don't really get why people are so angry about quests or roleplaying threads. I mean,I have no interest in that stuff, so i just ignore it. They are way less dangerous and annoying than the obligatory "females can't be fighters" and "fascists are lawful good" shit that goes on daily on this board.
>>44387765
How the fuck can a forum post be "dangerous"?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

>>44387777
Well people seem to think quet threads somehow are a danger to the supposed purity of the board or something like that it seems.
>>44382541
I like threads that try to produce things. Wordlbuilding, homebrews, art. That sort of thing. Good discussions are also fun, whenever they happen to roll by.
I'm getting really tired of all the bait/fetish treads, because I just don't see the purpose they serve. 98% of the time it's just a repeat of the same discussions and memes, and it all ends up being very pointless.
This includes just about all threads that are kicked off by just one reaction/fetish image and a single line of greentext.
Also fuck everything that has to do with /pol/.
I'm wary of the number of quests, but I've never read any of them and I'm ultimately not the authority on what's good or not. I suppose I don't care that much about it.
Roleplay threads have been growing on me, though I don't think they should be permanent. There was a "Meanwhile on Dragon /tg/" a while back that was fun. The concept of the Mages Guild is also good, and I don't have an issue with the threads (I can just don't open threads I don't care for), but they seem a bit too ingrown and long-running.
I don't think bans are the proper way to solve anything right now. The issue is general thread quality, not arguing over what's related or not. If I don't want to read a thread, I don't open it. I do for example not care for 40k. It doesn't bother me, and I never use filters.
The issue isn't so much the subject as the general quality of posts and posters, and meta-arguments are usually of very low quality.
>>44387842
>If I don't want to read a thread, I don't open it.
Congratulations. Now attempt understanding step 2; that you are in the minority on this board; where shitposting in an atrempt to derail threads is a sport. Hell, you don't even need to dislike the thread's subject to do it.
>>44387777
At a guess, some kind of ideological problem that guy has with those threads.
>>44387815
This. Amount of double standard and hypocrisy when Anons shitpost "stop liking thing!" is astounding. Although perhaps not that much, since it's a common human vice.
Things I like: Good.
Thinks I dislike: literal cancer.
>More
Threads for lesser known/niche games. Cool homebrew ideas that actually get to a usable point like Night Shift (I was really hoping Hail & Kill would get fleshed out more before it died off). I miss those writing threads we were having a while ago, they were a good creative exercise for GMs. "Meanwhile on Dragon /tg/" is fun when it pops up.
>Less
40k and D&D. I get that they're two of the most popular /tg/ things out there and I even like 40k but they're oversaturated to the point of futa on the porn boards.
>Ban
A lot of the really obvious /pol/ or SJW bait threads that have been around lately. They contribute nothing of value to the board and while the OP is often just on topic enough to not get removed for off topic, the actual discussion typically has nothing to do with /tg/ stuff.
>>44387676
>need i remind you guys of Jim Profit or Virt?
But those are two tripfags that were around at different times and weren't around for all that long. A majority of the tripfags I see on /tg/ are pretty knowledgeable and helpful in the threads they tend to stick to, HungarianLARPfag for example. They've also been around longer than Virt and Jim ever were.
Good: Discussions of storytelling aspects of GMing, intrigue, plotlines, anything that doesn't need a PhD in game mechanics to participate in. Also discussions of less played games (SR, L5R and Exalted seem to get some love, otherwise it's mostly just WH40k here. What about Numenera, or Earthdawn, or the Blue Rose reboot coming out? Or things the rest of us never even hear of? I'm sure you've got some you'd suggest)
Bad: MRA/entitled dude rants about how women/feminists are out to get them. Take it to someone who cares pls.
I'm not fond of how many quest and CYOA threads are running these days. ALTERNATIVE still lurks the boards, I bet. He is one of the administrators of the site, with moot leaving at and all, if I am correct.
ALTERNATIVE, if you see this, would you share your opinion regarding quest and CYOA threads getting their own containment board? Would that drive too much traffic away from /tg/ and make it stale as it was around 2006-2007?
I feel like some quests are just.....creepy, to be frank. I'm talking about shit like Exalted Quest and Maiden White. I understand people want to "participate" in a shitty anime, or roleplay their fetishes, but that doesn't make it any less weird.
/rant
>>44383755
You might want to try /storytiem/ over on 8ch if you're looking for smut. It's basically porn-quest-threads all the way down, but some of it's not bad.
>>44387765
A large number of Quest Threads speeds the board up. It makes it harder to have discussions about less popular stuff. Same with Warhammer shit, though. The board moves faster as it gets more popular no matter what you do. Quest Threads are just a noticeable contributing factor.

Personally I'm a big fan of the Homebrew threads, whether it's new systems, suppliments to existing games, or world building/fluff. It *can* be a little hard to get your stuff noticed if you don't join into a thread early on in its life, but the Anons are usually quite helpful and the shitposters tend not to hang around too much.
>ban
Not big on banning anything except assholes/autists/retards.
We probably should try to get a /quest/ thread, or bump up our image and reply limits to our threads so there are fewer copies of threads because caps were hits.
>>44389338
I stand corrected. I thought I've been here much longer. So /tg/ was created in 2007 February.
Still, I remember ALT dropping the request a couple years earlier to the mootkin.
>>44387396
>You should really get 4chan X
>If you see obvious bait with a ton of replies, you can just hide it instantly.
You can do that on 4chan without any add-ons.
I'd prefer /tg/ not be the containment board for all quests, it'd be a lot better if some could be posted on their board of interest.
Filters help, but for some reason posters keep mispelling words to bypass them, or don't bother using the common labels (cyoa, quest, etc...).
I'm guessing they want people to see and join them, but it's annoying and rude. Have some courtesy.
As a one-time quest runner, it brings out the worst of the board, both in the runners and the people who want quests to go. Players especially seem to act fairly entitled and can throw fits if the game doesn't go their way.
CYOA is always nice, same with quest threads and board game general.
Civ threads are hit and miss.
I miss when Towergirls was popular here. Now it's even dead over on 8ch.
Oh and eradicate That Guy. Just remove him from existence, and by extension, /tg/.
"CYOA general" is literally the most autistic and pointless waste of time ever.
It's not about a game, it's not even a real thing. It's just a bunch of faggots reposting stupid MSPaint images saying "Which X would u pic?" and a bunch of retards acting like it's fun to say pick things and then spend 400 posts arguing about it until it does or someone posts a new MSPaint abortion.
Why do they exist?
>>44394695
Congratulations on being part and parcel of the cancer killing /tg/.
>>44386948
So much this.
I like most of /tg/ honestly, but I specifically love threads about some lesser known systems or threads about people sharing their experiences with roleplaying, be it about playing the actual game or stuff like "that guy" threads.
I'd like less of bitching and derailing threads with BADWRONGFUN shit, or "this is not /tg/ related" stuff. We get it, just ignore it and move the fuck on... I know this is not really a "thread" but goddamn that's annoying...
Is not really that I would like to ban but I really don't like quest threads, and sometimes they fucking take a loot of room in this board. I know they are not frequent or numerous enough to have their own board but... yeah...
>>44394859
Thanks I guess? I was not aware enjoying mild perversion and having an opinion as well as likes and dislikes was what was killing /tg/.
Please, do tell me more so that I may better myself and save the sinking ship that is /tg/.
>>44382541
we should have more threads about in-depth discussions of insane ideas, like the rape factory.
I miss the time when /tg/ didn't went full retard on every thread but instead tried to make the ideas work
>>44382541
that guy/magical realm threads are probably my favorite, they're more or less different flavors of the same thing.
Threads where /tg/ pretends it's a fantasy setting advice board are fun too, but with the caveat that they aren't regular (they'll be beset by namefags)
Quest threads haven't been good since deathwish quest.
>>44382541
If I could ban one thing, I would ban people bitching that things need to leave the board.
We tried that once, and it was universally heralded as dark times all around.
>>44383755
Nigga the problem with those threads is they got into that creepy pseudo-roleplay realm where personalities start to form and tripfagging reigns supreme.
I'm talking pure, unadulterated boob talk. The kind without freaky kinks or people desperate for attention, where it's just you, some mates, and a conversation about how you handle or portray breasts in a campaign.
>>44392224
it's become common for people to say fuck it to filtering when it became clear that filtering would not stop quest complaining.
>>44386948
This.
I am so tired of thread police saying literally every thing is not /tg/ related.
Shit that we used to have fun with and do productive shit with is now just "get the fuck off my /tg/".
That kind of thing just RUINS ANY THREAD IT IS MENTIONED IN.
>>44397728

>>44382541

>>44397765
you mean subject of the thread is being posted in the thread?
>>44397794
yeah, it's actually really cancerous to the board to have people complaining about how they want generals, 40k, quests, D&D, roleplaying and everything else to go forever and never come back.
Especially given how it's against the rules.
>>44397825
what you do is against the rules too. Specifically the #3 rule, also known as shit nobody cares about
>>44397873

that's not rule 3 at all. Seems pretty serious.

Why don't Quests just go to /trash/ ?
>>44398091
why, because they're on-topic, content creating, many of the board enjoy them, and they are approved by the arbiters of board ruling.
The reason I browse /tg/ is for storytime threads. They used to be more common. That, and light roleplay. (but not quests).
My favorite has to be HFY threads
>sometimes there's enjoyable OC
>most of the time it's autists who don't like thing arguing with autists who do like thing, which is always enjoyable
>sometimes there are interesting discussions on the merits of individualism vs collectivism, the merits of nationalism, globalism, speciesism, etc; while these kinds of discussions 'should' be on /pol/, they'reuch more enjoyable here without the casual racism and schizophrenic anti-semitism
We need setting creation threads, and less 'daily life' (can't remember the term at the moment) quests.
>>44398112
Quests CAN be on-topic and content creating (e.g, Meta Quest) or they can be shit that should go back to whichever board they belong (Naruto quests should go back to /a/)
>>44387777quads checked
>>44399429
not if they're just screencaps or OC where Humans are great and aliens are retarded
I like threads that you can talk about your world and exploits and mythology in. There are a lot of really story or system specific threads that I don't like because I don't understand what they're about, but I respect that they are enjoyable to others. I wouldn't mind quest threads, except that they're all in the dozens or hundreds of threads and you can't just get into them, they're just generals. Currently there's also 18 of them.
I love it when /tg/ goes off topic, they're always fun and I've actually learned some surprising stuff here.
Except for when some no fun twit has to come and no fun up the thread, as >>44386948 said.
>40k faction building
Making custom chapters, regiments, orders. It's generally pretty good fun and when it works properly it's nice seeing things shape up with a bunch of other people contributing.
>Storytime threads
People just talking, sharing best or worst time stories, triumphs and 'That Guy' bitching. Just nice talking about stuff and reading good stories while sharing my own.
>Threads about exotic races.
Kobolds, dragonkin, wolfmen, serpents. If it's odd or exotic and we can post pictures while discussing culture, then I'm all for it.
>Suggestive character art threads that have a nice sampling of male art.
Never happens often enough, under represented and not enough material for it, personally prefer them a lot compared to threads totally about women. Also consider male art to generally be superior.
>>44382541
I'm always here for /pdf/. I love sharing games with people and enjoy the thrill of the hunt when someone's looking for something obscure.

Why are you trying so hard to push your shit where people are trying to discuss traditional games? Really, what is your goal, beyond spamming and advertising on one of the few not-absolutely shit boards left on 4chan that still sees any traffic?
