> QM question
Do you aspire to becoming a fully fledged writer after ending your current Quest?

Do you aspire to become a QM someday?
>>46563900
Nice job copying the last OP's Saturday excuse.
>>46563900
>Player question
My notes on the quest I'm making are 1/3 of the way done, so yes.
>>46563900
>Do you aspire to becoming a fully fledged writer after ending your current Quest?
No.

>>46564172
So is QTG back or are we on weekends only?
>>46563900
>Do you aspire to becoming a fully fledged writer after ending your current Quest?
Writing stories and being a QM are totally different things.
>>46564529
Probably just weekends still
>>46564552
How so?
> QM questionI tried that once. It didn't work out.Fuck, even QM'ing I feel like E.L. James and Stephanie Mayer are better than the shit I put out.
>>46564606
Story = total narrative control, you can play with a metric tonne of stuff you can't in quests 'cause you railroad harder than a Victorian on steroids, and you don't have to give a shit about your audience.
Quest = less than total narrative control, you have to play with other stuff -- that relies on audience participation, and you have to give a shit about your audience because your medium relies on them to work.
how do you deal with people samefagging responses?
>>46564665
This guy gets it. Being a good QM and being a good writer looks similar at first , but in reality they require different skillsets.
They are like a rouge and warrior. Sure they are both martial, and for while can pretend to be the other class, but on the long run they cannot keep up like the other would.
>>46564815
And also one of them is a dirty fucking rogue.
>>46564529
Just weekends, thank god.
>>46564917
Fucking sucks if you're an "aspiring" QM who has no idea what the shit they're meant to do, though. You've got to wait until the weekends to ask anything.
>>46564776
>like, do you just go with the general feel of the clamor?
>>46565078
>I don't know why I greentexted this, disregard its green appearence

If it gets too bad or too obvious, just do Final Destination or something.
The King of Fighters Quest: Reborn #6 is live for anyone interested: >>46565312
>>46564965
Any aspiring QM should have at least the patients to wait 5 days.
>>46565078
That's essentially what I do. Final destination is incredibly easy to get around and if anything it just encurages more samefaging instead of discussion.
Usually, I find that if you just let the players hash it out, they will tend to come to some level of agreement eventually.

Doesn't mean it doesn't suck.
Works as a filter for the ones that fizzle out early, though.
I always wanted to run Warhammer Dwarf Hold quest.
My Idea was you'd start small in a mine your clan found, rolling for minerals and then slowly build it into a mighty hold .
You'd start as the son of a thane, following your father to find more prosperous regions and it would be a civ builder type thing as well as character centric, you control the son for day to day things but anons would vote as the father for Hold matters (Until he died or is killed).
I'd throw in the occasional green skin attack for fun as well as taking the son on adventures, however if you took the son on said adventures then you no longer get to roll on Hold matters till you return, I'd roll some dice secretly while we were off to determine what happened or got done.

I haven't looked at quests since early 2014. I was only hanging around still because Diarca was running, but when he disappeared in fall 2013 I slowly stopped checking and eventually just forgot about the questing scene.
I only recently decided to come take a peek and what QTG is up to, and... Diarca!

Sadly there is no thread today for Death Among the Stars.
Completely forgot its a friends birthday today. I'm a bad friend.
I'm actually going to be switching from running Thursdays to Wednesday since my Thursdays keep getting taken over by irl stuff

>>46567473

That would be freaky
>>46567500
Nah, just an Italian-Australian in the UK.
I guess it's like that "100 people in a room are 99% likely to share a birthday" thing, only more so 'cause we're taking friends into account. Still.
have there been any good rome quests?
>>46568907
Such a thing is not possible, because it would be run by Romaboos. And Romaboos are mentally challenged in all things, preventing them from ever running a good quest.
>>46566095
>as well as taking the son on adventures
Only for you to come back and find your hold has acquired a cultist problem, and then you're neck deep in claw armed nuts'os before you know it.

All unforced memes are useful within the contexts they were created. They were created to fulfil a need, and they do so.

But anon, what if memes are our hobbies?
>>46571280
Please re-read the post, you missed the argument.
Which focused on how invading other boards with your hot /r9k/ memes is an intrusion of the private/safe space of the boards.
I've never seen people so mad so frequently as they do in FAD quest. This is art.
>>46571220
I can think of couple quests where avoiding crazy lover / ex / stalker is a sub-theme, but not a single one where it would be the main thing.
>>46569656

>>46571316
Memes are like animals, boards are like ecosystems. And they all play the natural selection game.
The strong thrive, and beat down the weak. They flourish, propagate, fall behind the times, and new memes wrest their places from their control.
Hot /r9k/ memes deserve to be used. They deserve to disturb the stagnation of this backwater board, and their disturbance keeps us turning toxic. Memes, and crossboard culture, are what keep us alive.

I had a roll chart somewhere with minerals on it for first generating the mine but I lost it.
Basically all you need to know from it was Gromril was a nat 100 and stuff like Tin also has a chance to have silver with it.
I was going to let the anons roll 5 times on it to see what we got.
>>46574323
Damn you. That would be really useful for my worldbuilding.
Did it have important stuff on it, like alum?
>>46574412
Tin, copper, iron just regular minerals that you'd normally find in a mine, I also used some of what I learned from books, like how silver is found with tin some times.
My desk top got nuked and I lost it, sorry anon. This was a year or so ago too, all I remember is that some of the more useful materials were near the top and that the multiple rolls would ensure you get at least some.
>>46569384

If crazy obsessive girls are what tickles your fancy, Larro did run pretty good one-shot on that note. It was two or three years back and was called "ordinary life" or something along those lines.

What is, in your opinion, the best rules system for quests? The best system for rolling?
>>46579014
There isn't one, for either question. Use what works for your quest.
>>46579096
Fair enough. A better question I suppose would be: what systems have you used for your quests, and how did they turn out?
I'm trying to start discussion, not fishing for specific answers.
>>46579252
Good luck getting anything other than a vague, strictly non-helpful response. I asked a similar question yesterday about what a healthy amount of game mechanics to include, and how much people liked aspects of the game being strictly down to game-related rules or DM creative discretion, and I got "Use what works for your quest" which is super helpful because if I knew what worked for my quest why the fuck would I even ask
>>46580107
The reason no one will give you a "good" answer is because we have no fucking idea what your quest needs. If it's not covered in the OP pastebin, chances are it's something you need to go with your gut feeling on. If you really hate the idea of mechanics, don't have any. If you love mechanics, go and make something civ-like. You'll probably get players no matter which you pick.
>>46580200
I wasn't even asking for any specific quest. I was looking for an answer like "I used X system for Y quest, and it did or didnt work, and here's why I think why"
You know, conversation.
>>46580200
So what sort of things do YOU enjoy? Have you been a part of a quest where there were just too many mechanics to remember? Do you like narrative-based combat or numbers-based combat more? Do you think major decisions coming down to dice rolls feel like sort of a let-down? Have you ever followed a quest that handle dice rolls really well, and if so, what quest was it? Have you ever been a part of a quest where there was basically no tension because the way the narrative was driven, it felt like you couldn't fail no matter what you did?
These are the sort of responses I'm looking for. I know there's no absolutes in...basically fucking anything ever but if you're not willing to at least talk about past quest experience then why the fuck does this thread even exist?
Any word on REQM?
What are some quests with cute girls
>>46580582
Nixon Quest
>>46580435
no.
I wish there were.
Want to try my hand at playing a quest, but..how exactly do these things work? The OP gives options, various players choose but how does the OP decide on which one? Whichever one gets the most votes? Do OPs give themselves a set time before tallying the votes?
>>46581493
In the game I play, the OP gives the options, we vote on them, he choses the most voted on option or options (sometimes he combines multiple) and sometimes (for things like combat) there is a time limit.
Really, it depands on the QM running the story, there's no set standard.
>>46581493
Most do "most votes in a time period wins". Some try to wait for a consensus. A few pick really stupid things like "first post ending with a 5 wins".
>>46581493
Lurk the fuck more.
>>46581702
S-s-sorry ;_;
>>46580227
>>46580200
Personally, I always try to stick to one rule: As few mechanics as possible. If something can be done without introducing a mechanic and numbers, I'll probably do that, because on a design-level I feel that mechanics without a direct and clear purpose for existing are just holding back the quest needlessly. Most things do not need anything more complicated than rolling dice against a check scaled by difficulty, and then improvising the result based on the difference and write-ins.
What quest has worst mechanics?
>>46581493
Honestly, just read some quests, either ongoing ones here or on the archive. There are numerous different ways voting works. Just as long as you don't do one of the retarded "first post ending in X" or "first reply" ones, you'll do fine.
tl;dr: Lurk moar.
Which plot is more interesting to play through in a quest if you're a sort-of special forces agent? It's the first "chapter" of the quest.
>Hunt down several individuals who has proven to be a danger by the virtue of what they know and what they've done to the ones you're loyal to. Each of these individuals are connected to each other by their employer and they each carry a puzzle piece to the location of said employer who you've been tasked with either eliminating or capturing. Each kill brings you a step closer to the one pulling the strings behind the scenes. There might even be a special forces agent from another organization who's after the one you hunt for different reasons and in the end they might obtain one of the puzzle pieces as well. [Search and Destroy]
or
>Several key figures of the organization you work for has been kidnapped and is held for ransom, both for money and political gains. It's up to you to find them with the help of Intelligence agents. Each individual is protected by something different and it will take all your wit and skill to find them and and overcome them to do your job. [Search and Rescue]

Search and Destroy seems more interesting, if only with the promise of actual adversaries
Shinigami Quest had big reveals about the MC last thread. Did anyone see those coming?

For the sake of worldbuilding for my semi-strategic quest, what kind of resources would a medieval society value the most (not per se stuff like grain, I'm talking about rarer commodities not every realm would have access to).
>>46584911
From miles away. Still better than Yachiru being Kenpachi's zanpakuto.
>>46571612
Nonsense. We've evolved past all that. We became a second /pol/.
>>46585690
>All that political illiteracy
>All those normies who never read a book on politics or economics pretending they have
>>46585281
What section of society?
What part of the medieval period? Start of industrialization?
Review Anon needs status updates, twitter, or something.
>>46585863
No he doesn't.
>>46585708
>people who think they're educated because they compare books to other books and come to a compromising opinion between them
>>46585905
Anon, learning knowledge from books is the definition of education.
>>46585912
if that means you never investigate anything for yourself and cherry pick from other people's opinions then education is a false god
>>46585863
It's funny how /tg/ seems so split between people who REEEE over any kind of namefagging or status updates, and people who want updates on when things are happening, or whether someone is who they claim to be.
Truly, there is no pleasing us.
>>46585927
It doesn't mean that.
>>46585934
No shit.
You never heard the term "you can't please everyone"?
>>46585942
You're oddly hostile, considering I just said it was funny.
Have a good day though, I guess.
So I guess no JQ this week, huh?
When's Review Anon gonna make his miraculous appearance and which quest will he review today?
ARC trooper quest when?
>>46585863
I know you're the same person every time and you need to chill the fuck out.
RA isn't even very good for the amount of poets you waste sucking off his ego.
>>46585690
More like a second tumblr
>>46586490
No.

>QM Question
I don't think I have the chops, and I really don't think I have any original ideas.
>>46587122
rip
>>46587122
Why would you need any original ideas to become a successful writer?
Have you LOOKED at the best seller's lists?
>>46587385
And why would I want to punish people with more trite junkfood? I'm fine writing things for myself to enjoy, I just save them and put them away, instead of forcing others to confront them
>>46587591
>Exaggerated Self Depreciation
You ARE a writer.
>>46586084
I'm half way through AT-TE, and it might be done before monday/the monday thread dies. I feel like I'm missing out on a lot by having not really been into Star Wars enough to appreciate the differences in clone types and mech designations, but it's been interesting. Since I heard AT-TE was coming back, I thought I'd go ahead and read up on it and put it out there as a "welcome back" for the QM.
If it isn't done before this weekend's thread wraps up, I'll try and have it wrapped up with Badge and Bullet next weekend (Which I noticed in an earlier thread might be having a sequel soon? Figured I'd take a look at it before the QM starts their next quest endeavor).

>I'm fine writing things for myself to enjoy, I just save them and put them away, instead of forcing others to confront them.
Haha, the writer that thinks he isn't. Only thing more common in the professional publishing world than you are people that overvalue their own scribles.
>>46584911
Not the specifics, but generally yes. I am surprised that he seems at least tenuously connected to how Urahara beat Aizen though.
>>46585644
It's not like that wasn't foreshadowed.
>>46587903
>>46587681
Alright, I'll admit I'm being overdramatic. I just don't think highly enough of any of the things I've written to put them out. Maybe someday
>>46589164
Fellow board members, I know you are aware of the plight that has been plaguing our business this last quarter. In order to combat this record drop of quest production and customer appreciation, it has been deemed necessary by the CEO to expand the quest markets.
So, fellow board members: how are we going to save /tg/ Quests Inc. from its impending bankruptcy? How can we make Quests great again?
>>46589249
You seem to be mistaken, anon. This isn't a corporation, it's a loose union of egoists.
>>46589249
Waifus.
>>46589249
Perhaps new blood that's not of the "Generic dark fantasy" variety?
>>46589344
On the contrary, some may argue that waifus, and the countless arguments about them, is part of why our PR is so unstable.
>>46589249
convince that anonkun website to disenfranchise channers so they come back
>>46589427
Akun has too many mega popular QM's and people for that to happen
>>46589427
The only quests there are smut quests, which are banned here. They'd all have to go to QQ instead.
>>46589479
Curses! A niche market we can't capitalize on!
But there must be something we can do that Akun can't
>>46589545
>But there must be something we can do that Akun can't
Good quests
>>46589577
But how do we increase the production of good quests without increasing the number of bad quests?
>>46589633
We talk about what makes a good quest, and what makes a bad one. We use examples to show what we mean by this. In other words, we all become reviewanon.
>>46589670
...Brilliant!
Board members, I believe we have a solution! Any further comments or disagreements?
Will those who do it for free bat an eye at a (new) lewd quest where all the lewdness is fade to black + pastebin?I'm doing some stuff for a Courtesan Quest somebody pitched last week.
>>46589757
Honestly speaking, it seems to me that quest would be much better *without* lewdness at all. With the focus on the court intrigue, the spying, who you seduce and for what purpose rather than how you seduce.
>>46589545
>But there must be something we can do that Akun can't
Having a functioning site?
>>46589799
>courtesan
>without lewdness
It's half the fun. I mean, I get that you may not like that, but that is why the lewd will be kept to pastebins.
>>46589799
What would be the point of "How" if we had no "Why"?
>>46589829
I meant more from a narrative standpoint. I don't have anything against smut in general. It's the focus on smut in a quest that has the potential to be a great intriguefest that I think could be a waste.
Of course, that's just me. I've got a thing for medieval/courtesan based politicking.
>>46589757
>>46589799
You don't 'need' sex scenes, but honestly there's no point in the premise without pillow talk.
>>46589863
I think that a woman in that life who has nothing but her body and her wits and who uses her body to help her wits is interesting, narratively speaking.
>>46589879
This.
Can I ask about Hellborn Quest?
I want to know more about Hellborn Quest.
>>46589906
Yes, so do I. I just don't think porn is. I mean, I can get porn anywhere, I can't do *this* anywhere.
Focus on pillowtalk is great, it's just a focus on smutting it up I think might not be best. It'll still be a great idea either way, though.

Did Lawngod twitter a date yet? Away from my stuff and I don't touch twitter with a ten-foot pole, normally.
I am somewhat disheartened that I finally finished the archive. Wanted to praise Languid for his good work and offer some fanart.
>>46590170
Today sometime
>I don't touch twitter with a ten-foot pole, normally.
Just do it faggot, its not a big deal.
>>46590189
Thanks mate, I will keep an eye out.
>Just do it faggot, its not a big deal.
But I am a Moriah-like sloth creature! I already have whatsapp, telegram, facebook, blogspot, linkedin, deviantart and check 4chan, giants and /quest/. I don't need anymore!
>>46590277
Just bookmark Lawnguide's twitter page if you're too much of a fag.
