> QM question
Do you ever look back or reread your quests and wish to have done something differently?
> Player question
Your favorite QM gets sick of oneitis and asks you to substitute him/her/it for an entire month. What would you do during that time?
Here we go again. Another weekend, another shitposting fest, another 15+ quest ideas proposed, gutted/accepted and then they never run, and people rightfully shitting on DLQ.
Ah, the weekend.

I WANT 2013 BACK.
How to run a mystery/detective quest:
Propose a mystery
Pray that you have enough players
Pray that you have enough player discussion
Read every shadowrun your players come up with
Incorporate some of it into the mystery (which you had no idea how to actually solve)
y/n?
How much lewd is too lewd for /tg/?
>>46540608
Nah. Pulling a solution out of your ass that doesn't fit clues is what killed that Harry Potter quest a ways back.
>>46540636
>that doesn't fit clues
That's the problem, not "pulling the solution out of your ass".
Anyone up for an ace combat rpg campaign? We've got a relatively inexperienced DM over at /vg/'s /aceg/ who was an opening for 4 players, so I figured /tg/ would be a good place to look for 3 others.
>>46540651
I'd say they're related. Part of what's fun about a good mystery is looking back at the clues in a new context to see a pattern that wasn't apparent at first but seems obvious in hindsight. If the writer doesn't know the solution from the start then you just have random shit for no reason.
>>46540633
Smutquests are allowed, as long as they aren't too ghetto for the mods.
Update on that quest that got mentioned a little while ago regarding an Insight mechanic.
It's still in the works. I ran into a wall in development and realized some mistakes I made that were giving me trouble moving forward. Those are being addressed as I change some things around, but it likely won't be happening this weekend.
You know what, I'm going to dump all the Quest Pitches that have been sitting in the old suggestion box and see what anyone has to say about them.
Let's have some fun and see how these ideas have aged.
>>46541870
Go on.
Star Witch Quest
A witch goes around space, collecting stars and building constellations. Along the way she encounters various other star creatures and sights, and must use her ability to create living constellations to complete them.
Space Cycler Quest
You wake up in the cycler that was supposed to bring you and your family to Khembalung, a new colony rumored to have an Earth+ biosphere, with a voice inside your head and the arm replaced by a weapon feeding off of your energy. The voice tells you it's the ship, and that if you want to save yourself, and those few whose cryosleep pod hasn't been lost, you must claw your way deeper and try to take control of the ship. Yes, it has taken the liberty of implanting itself inside you... The weapon in your arm is the ship is the only way not to die eaten by the Others.
EM Drive Quest
You are the first guy to find out how the EM Drive works. Being an engineer, and having no sense of right or wrong, you use it as your super power.
Drive hoverboards, fly around on microwaves and kill people by boiling them from the inside.
Just make sure to be subtle. Every time you use your powers, you disrupt nearby power and communication. You don't want the secret services finding you, do you?
Endgame is in Africa or North Korea, where you can use your powers unimpeded because there's nothing to disrupt.
Also, the MC may die of cancer at the end.

TellaNovella Quest
El passada programa fui pre ricardo. Es muy caliente.
You are Armondo. The man who raised you, General Lopez, has been falsely acused of heinous crimes and has left his corporate holdings in your hands instead of the hands of his board of directors for some reason.

8-Bit Dystopia Quest ZERO
The prequel to the 8-bit Dystopia homebrew setting on 1d4chan. The fall of Earth came when they rained from the sky. Pressed to the frontlines, our forces were fed to a meatgrinder against the myriad legions of the Space Invaders. In this time, small miracles were seeded, the hope that one of them might start to turn against the overwhelming alien tide. Many desperate, wonderweapons were brought to light, but they and the people surrounding them were lost to time and the devastation that brought about the present. These are the stories of time being forgotten in the grime and misery of the City of now.

Jedi Quest
It's like Sith Quest, only without having to go through that damn academy. You start out as a kid living in the wilds of some planet. AND THEN A JEDI COMES and decides to take you under his wing after sensing how strong you are in the force or whatever. His padawan gets jealous of all the attention and praise you're getting. After he teaches you some basic lightsaber combat and force abilities, his rival, SOME SITH LORD, comes to the planet your master is on and fights him. Your master and the sith lord fight, and he tells you and his padawan to leave on his ship for the Republic while he stalls the sith lord from murdering you to cause your master pain. Your character then has the option to fight the Sith Empire, help entire planets, or learn how to use the Force more effectively. Your master had a technique he used that combined the Force with the slash of a sword that could send slashes at people only blockable with the Force. And then it's Old Republic shenannigans from there on out.
Stellar Girl Quest/Fallen Star Quest
One night while sitting in your window box, wishing upon the far off stars, something bright and shining fell into your backyard. Investigating, you found a young girl in the middle of a starburst of scorched earth that's ruined a part of the back yard. Now you've got to care for this girl who doesn't speak, looks at the world around you with an undeniably curious spark, doesn't seem to understand body language, and seems to stick to you like glue and seems terrfied and afraid when you aren't near; luckily for you she seems to be learning about the world with some speed.
Where did she come from? How can you manage caring for this mysterious girl who seems to have fallen in love with you? And what are you going to do when the night sky falls looking for her?

Restless Dreamer Quest
-You are Kay, and you don't have many friends.
-Every day you go to school and try to go unnoticed; you have gotten exceedingly good at it. It isn't that you don't want to be sociable...but you just don't get most people, and that scares you. Other people scare you, even the ones whom you have let into your world.
-That is about to change. You had a strange dream last night, a woman you had never seen tried to warn you that something was coming. She gave you a mote of light and you woke. During a lecture that same day, people in your class are starting to doze off. Even the instructor doesn't look like he's all there. Despite your efforts to stay awake, you succumb to the mysterious call. Which is when you find yourself in a blasted field, surrounded by the weary forms of your classmates, each tethered by luminescent tendrils to a floating creature of indistinct and ever shifting color and shape.
-Protect or discard the people of your home from the things that would ravage their dreams. Explore your own mind and face or worsen your own issues. Delve into the dreams of others to protect them from the formless terror or for your own devices. Explore the power granted by the woman or take up the power of nightmare.

No matter, You have crew enough to get where you're going, and where you are going is a future full of attractive ladies or wherever the universe takes you.

>Rogue Trader Xenos Hunter
This is literally Space Dandy 40k.
>>46541973
Cat Quest
You were named Captain Krinkles by the small progeny of the oaf that brought you to the place you call home. It would be demeaning if you could understand it. This tavern is where the people who feed you live and feed others. You get fed & hunt rats & mice, those things very much like the foods you do not like, but the big oaf and his ilk seem to enjoy. While away hunting mice, knocking glasses or steins off tables, and accidently acquiring sentience because of a Wizard who has no sense of right or wrong.

Do you find revenge or thick cuties?

Proud Merican Quest
Long time ago, no one knows fer sure, the world that was fell in a great calamity or some such hooey.

African Warlord Quest
This quest would be basically a cliche anime betamax MC that begins to hear and get under the influnce of a renegade African warlord one day. Said warlord is basically in the style of one of crazier African dictators or Generals, like Gaddafi, Robert Mugabe, Muboto and General Butt Naked. Maybe even a bit of Haiti's Papa Doc, or Yugoslavia's Milosevic. in there. He is sociopathic, sadistic, out of touch with reality and callous, yet is shrewd and has great insticts. At first the MC thinks he's gone crazy, hearing the voice of a man who he's never met and probably never heard of and tries to ignore his new... err neighbor.
Sinbad Quest
It's just Sinbad quest. Fuck yeah Sinbad. Also features Hercules though he's less cool than Sinbad, and Xena can be there with the blonde chick I guess. Doubar and Rongar are the best.

King of Monsters Quest

Basically, Ork Quest with a higher IQ.

Blind Love Quest
It's a romance quest but none of the waifus/husbandos ever get described physically. Attractiveness, physical traits (barring obvious shit like missing limbs or long/short hair once close enough to touch it) all mysteries. All you have to go on is the sound of another's voice: gruff, silky, suave, shrill, so on and so forth. A character's outward (unpleasant) appearance can be played for drama, as an idea. Have fun exploring usual romance themes in a new context!
>>46542089

-Superweapons everywhere are fun.
-Variable factors: avalibility of tech, what kind of faction will attack your facility, how superscience affects the world economy.
>>46542177
Siphon Quest
You are a vampire. Well, not exactly a vampire in the traditional sense: for one, you're not 'a creature of the night'. You don't turn into a bat. But you do feed on other people. Their emotions, to be exact. It doesn't really matter to you whether they're elated or despairing: what matters is the strength of the emotion that you can feed off of. Once you've 'devoured' someone's emotions, they can never experience that emotion again.
It's up to the collective to decide whether you leave in your wake an army of emotionally defunct people, or devour all the sadness in the world. Making everyone happier, one person at a time. Might be competing siphons around, so be careful!

You're even going to bake him a cake, you just need to move a chair so you can get to the high shelf in the cupboad...maybe a box to put on top of the chair too. There you go- OH NO! What are these *objects of questionable safety/objects of questionable morality* doing here? What have you gotten yourself into, big brother?
*Possible objects that start the conflict of this quest: Needles, Assorted Drugs, Pornography, Firearm, dildoes, firearms, tests with failing grades, cosplay, love letters, super hero outfit, extremely overdue bills, gambling debts, a human femur, a fairy trapped in a bottle, or a metric ton of pachinko balls.

It appears while you slept, someone bought you and is preparing you for market...what fun this might be. What good terror might you taste? What souls will you devour and add to the choir in death?
-Upgrades for difficult deaths.
-Bonus points for complex, contrived and generally stylish kills.
Damned Death, Damned Devil Quest
[scheduled to be run by Gasgrouch !M6.9qqdc8k]
Death and the Devil are both cute grils who are fighting over your soul. They're both trying to seduce you to join their side. Until they can (or until you do) decide who your soul actually belongs to, you're allowed to live. Death works for god, of course. And then your imouto wants you to stay alive because she loves her onii-chan, and then there's a witch who wants to put your soul into your pet cat so that she can have a black cat familiar with human intelligence. But Death and the Devil would be the main stars.

Sword Sailor Quest
You are a sword sailor. You let the wind fuel and guide your blade. There are many different styles to sword-sailing, most of it having to do with the climate. The bigger and shinier your sword, the better it sails. Sailswords are enchanted with magic that allows them to project masts and sails. They're the size of surfing boards, but weigh as much as a sword should. Personal transportation devices of extreme efficiency, they are a favored seafaring vehicle of raiders and minor army regiments alike. Calamity strikes many kingdoms as the one known only as "Typh(o)on" wreaks havoc with his deadly blade. You and your fellow sail-swords must bring an end to his evil if the kingdom is to know calm breezes once more.
Galactic Nord Quest
You are a space viking. Go rape and pillage alien empires. You come from the Galactic north, with Earth being in the south. We are Beowulf's Cosmonauts, each a mighty Thane, we'll pummel your boarding craft, and ravage your lasses, then do it all over again! In the future of 21XX, mankind has achieved FTL and has integrated into the larger galatic community. While aliens see most humans as average and insignifcant, they cannot say the same for VIKINGS! Striking from the northern lands of Earth, Viking warriors board their longrockets to pillage and steal the riches of alien empires. MC options include both Reavers and Godi ( engineer/scientist priests). Rape and pillage aliens named after mythical creatures from norse myth and slay space serpents. Fire Jormungandr launchers loaded with huskarls at enemy ships or even better, RAM THEM! FOR ODIN!

Kamen Rider: MIX Quest
You are event DJ Kanezawa Jane, you bring remixes and electronica to dance venues and perform live mixes of music tracks and your own vocals. One day, while packing up after a packed gig, an old man barrels into you while outside in the alleyway while you are loading up your van. He thrusts a loose armful of mostly unlabeled cassette tapes into your arms
He charges off, only to be run over by a car filled with strangely dressed masked men in suits and hats as he leaves the alley. A device is knocked clear of the old man, it looks like a walkman attached to an extending belt buckle which you pick up after if slides to a stop at your feet.
The strange men exit the car and inspect the man before they turn to you. Each takes out a strange looking mini MP3 player. In a flash of light and dissonant music they are suddenly clad in identical full body armor. They scream at you, and the sonic force knocks you to your back, scattering all but one of the tapes across the darkened alleyway.
"Use the belt! Use the tape! The soul of an artist and the soul of the warrior are the only way to survive!" cries the old man with what could well be his last breath.
You know his voice. He's a famous radio DJ you've listened to for years...
The last tape still in your hand, its labeled...Rider Mix.
The figures saunter closer, laughing and joking about "having fun with this one,"
You stand on shakey legs, slide the tape into the belt and hold it to your waist before instinct takes over...and the beat takes you.
"Henshin, PLAY!"
-
Your Rider form is timed, and the weapons/defenses/forms you have access to are based on the order of songs on your mix tape. Each tape can be set with a side A or side B, but you start out with a one sided tape, once its out you need to rewind it, flip it, or swap for another tape. Over the course of play, other rider systems will be found by both allies and enemies with different strengths and weaknesses.

Close your Eyes Quest
"Its waiting for you, that safe place. It may seem far away, but don't worry. Listen to the sound of my voice and come home,"
You jolt awake at your desk and find the office to be stagnant and rotting. The world is a twisting nightmare mirror of its former self, and you are the only person you can find, at first, who is still awake. As you explore the earth made nightmare, discover the fates of those who have succumb to these dreams, and avoid the nightmare creaches prowling about in the flesh, you must unearth the cause of these circumstances. Understand your new world and find a way to wake the sleepers who yet live while keeping yourself alive and awake.
Hurry, you haven't much time. If you let your eyes close...it might as well be the earth's end.
and with that the suggestion box and the suggestion vault have been lain before you.

>>Jedi Quest
>It's like Sith Quest, only without having to go through that damn academy. You start out as a kid living in the wilds of some planet. AND THEN A JEDI COMES and decides to take you under his wing after sensing how strong you are in the force or whatever. His padawan gets jealous of all the attention and praise you're getting. After he teaches you some basic lightsaber combat and force abilities, his rival, SOME SITH LORD, comes to the planet your master is on and fights him. Your master and the sith lord fight, and he tells you and his padawan to leave on his ship for the Republic while he stalls the sith lord from murdering you to cause your master pain. Your character then has the option to fight the Sith Empire, help entire planets, or learn how to use the Force more effectively. Your master had a technique he used that combined the Force with the slash of a sword that could send slashes at people only blockable with the Force. And then it's Old Republic shenannigans from there on out.
I like this one, only pulling everything that is Star Wars and converting it to actual fantasy. So, basically, normal fantasy.

>Damned Death, Damned Devil Quest
Oh fuck I didn't think I'd still be on the hook for this. Maybe I should try it on a season by season run?
I've been meaning to run Sunrise Society Quest which I also am on the hook for.
>>46539217
Speaking of quest ideas that gutted and then never run...
I've read the links in the pastebin. After tonight at midnight, I'm done full-time classes and studying. My job is part time. The time is right for me to finally take a crack at running my first quest.
I'd like to run a quest set in the same setting as the web serial Worm. Essentially a psuedo-realistic approach to a supers setting, but everyone still runs around in masks and costumes because it's "what you do." The protagonist arrived in Rain City a week or so ago after being "politely" shunted out by his parents to go get an education, leaving him the summer to get settled and find a job. Finally out of savings after a weeklong bender, the bohemian youth decides its time to find employment. Expect street-level shenanigans, gang fights, club nights, and workplace drama.
Thoughts? I've got most of the primary and secondary characters pretty well established, and enough plot to probably last at least 3 threads so far, though with the vagaries of fate being what they are that could mean pretty little.
>>46540667
Maybe try a Gamefinder thread?

Zombie Tapeworm Quest
Play as a Tapeworm who was inside of a person who became affected by a Zombie Virus. For some reason the virus affected you in a different manner and now you have mutated and taken control over your host. Fight against both zombified and healthy humans and infect them all to become the supreme overlord. Beat the infection with another infection.
>>46542403
>>46542430
Those aren't real quest pitch ideas. I'm just adding whatever comes to my mind for fun.

>I'd like to run a quest set in the same setting as the web serial Worm.
>while keeping things from getting too grim.
Good luck.
>>46542538
Yeah, I thought misery porn and a persecution complex were prerequisites.
People will play it because Worm is popular, so I'd just go for it.
well I can see why most of these pitches haven't been run.
>>46542339
Whatever works for your...SPACE VIKING
>>46542538
I loved the series all the way through, but the first few arcs were objectively the best.
Sure they were gritty in places, but they weren't so incredibly loaded down with constant despair and doom. The fight against Bakuda was the perfect touch of "oh shit everythings going to fall apart."
>>46542575
8 bit Dystopia Zero's pitch needs a lot more fixing to be a workable quest.
>>46542615
I did like everything about the Endbringers. The whole world being slowly ground down and all.
>>46542643
Leviathan was cool, though I feel like after that it was a different series altogether. Went from "street kids playing cops and robbers have to team up and save the city" to "street kids have to survive a hellish wasteland being hunted by the edgiest horror game villains and no one wants to help for some reason"
How do you guys handle mooks in quests?
I don't want to write "You see a bunch of generic guys" but instead make each of them unique.
However it's a lot of work that you do only to throw it out the window.
>>46542998
Mooks are mooks. You don't care about them, the players don't care about them, put zero effort into them.
>>46542998
I find a strange amount of gratification in having a developed character or a character that was meant to eventually become a developed one to just be killed by the players. As a QM, that's a huge part of what Quests are all about for me. When the players express their freedom, I don't try to do anything to supplant it. If they want to kill someone, they can try. If they don't want to kill someone, they don't have to. I don't know why, but it feels really good to let them do that and simply roll with it. That's probably just me, though!
>>46542998
Actually, I have a lot to say about that.
I generally don't use mooks a lot. What I do is that for each NPC that the MC can easily kill, I give him a unique gimmick. More, I don't use more than a handful, so each guy has a chance to personalize himself.
It helps that my Quest is one where each character is very distinctive, so everyone gets a chance to use their specific 'gimmick', be it pyrokinesis, different kinds of swords, so kind of environmental trick and so on.
Don't do what LNs do and have the protagonist fight a lot of faceless guys in hoods. In Quests, you have an unlimited budget. Little things like the clothes they're wearing and they way they react to your attacks makes things interesting. (See Finn versus TR8R.)
>>46543158
K-king?
But having "dudes in hoods" is not even an option for me.
I had guys in uniforms up until now but now every single character will be a literal monster so that's why I asked for advice since I have to make them all unique and easily identifiable.
I was just wondering if there is an easy way to do it
>>46543282
Well, monsters all act differently. Think of an identifying theme (i.e. Terrible, ravenous, many-eyed, massive) and work from there.
"My Daughter, the Superhero"
You're a normal (single) father, waiting on your teenage daughter (for it is 1am, and it's a school day tomorrow), half-angry, half-scared-to-death, until she stumbles out the front door, passing out in the vestibule in somewhat colorful clothing, but more importantly—covered in blood.
>>46543545
Is the father's name Quentin Lance?
>>46543545
Are you a superhero, too? If not, this sounds like one of those quests which don't last long because the protagonist has no real power to do anything.
>>46543581
No.
>>46543582
>Are you a superhero, too?
No.
>the protagonist has no real power to do anything.
Shaping the life of a superhero, giving her support and a loving home (or failing at that), protecting her for everything that doesn't involve lifting cars and throwing them at each other doesn't sound like "no power to do anything". Plus you know, your daughter is a superhero. And she loves you.

What level of narrative control is too much control?
What I mean is-I have an idea for a quest. But it's not like the open-ended hooks you see around here, like the (literally) exemplary "young dragoon has to get his first dragon". It's got characters mapped out, with all their relationships and motivations; it's based on mysteries and reveals, so it's got those pre-made; and it's got a general ending, although the players can determine which is the "true" end.
Is this too rail-roady? I have no idea what works well in quests, and what doesn't.
>>46544920
Questmaster Quest
Yes I know it already happened, but it should've never ran.
>>46545787
Depends on what you want, really.
Go for the story you want to tell, especially if you've got everything mapped out. Play it like an rpg; if the players stick to the tracks, do what's on schedule, but if they veer off the tracks make sure there's something between there and the next station. Just make sure not go go like "no you can't do that because the plot says you can't" unless it's something absolutely retarded.
If it's absolutely retarded give them a few chances to not be retarded before you just throw away the script and take the crazy train right off a cliff
>>46545617
They are not mine, they are the pitches once made in the QTG and spookies of old that were added as suggestions to the QM Cabal Suggestion Box. The best were sequested, free from deletion by roaming trolls, away in the vault where no edit function was present to the public at large.
However I freely admit to a few of the ideas in that list being mine.
>>46545927
*They are not all mine
>>46540608
It's best to
1. Think about how the crime you are investigating would have been carried out
2. Consider what clues would logically be left behind
3. Let the players surprise you with their ingenuity.
What's nice about refereed RPGs is that the Ref can adjust the situation based on player feedback rather than having to try to anticipate every single possible outcome the way a PC RPG programmer has to.
>>46542575
Because you're a plebeian with shit taste and a horrible personality.
>>46545877
Thanks for the advice anon. I'll work out the general scope of things, and pray I'm able to improvise okay.

Many long running quests follow this formula
Zootopia X-Com Quest
Humans come to the furry world of Zootopia and they create their version of the X-com to fend themselves from thehumalien menance
William Walker is a young man at the age of 21 and is one of the youngest Knights of his generation. He's not a prodigy of any sort nor does he have any political advantage to his name. He gained his title through hard work and dedication. As his first assignment as a Knight, he's partnered up with a seasoned Knight-Captain named Marcus Haymitch and follows his investigation of a band of mercenaries who has ties with the Mexican Alchemy Cartel and has apparently started a business of their own on American soil. There's even rumors flying around that they've started to use their own products, but no evidence to that has yet to surface. Haymitch knows the man leading the gang, but it's your job is to find out who he's running the show with and from where, report back to Washington, and then the Hunters will take over.
Walker have been forewarned that the Knight-Captain has a grudge against the men he's seeking and will stop at nothing short of vengeance. The only reason he's part of this investigation is due to his local contacts and the fact that he has spent his last 15 years of service hunting the man said to lead this gang, John Shepard. He knows more about him and his gang than anyone else in the Order. However, once the two of you arrive to the west, the situation takes a turn for the worse and you find yourself unable to return to Washington until the gang has been dealt with.
A quest set a fantasy Wild West, with everything that comes with and some more.One of the major differences is, there are no guns. Only swords and medieval weapons. There's no shootouts, there's only sword fights.
>>46547369
To me, one of the big draws of the Wild West, especially the Spaghetti -- Mexican -- West, is the seedy characters. The lowlifes, the desperados trying to make ends meet, the poor bastards running life along a knife-edge. To me, it'd be more engaging if you dropped the knight thing, made it about the cartels. Maybe you're just an inside man working for a competing cartel, maybe you just need to pay off a debt to a mysterious figure from the Old Country. But don't make us noble, in name at least. [Another thing -- why would the US have "knights" anyway? That's a decidedly anti-Republican European thing.]
I'd also personally do away with Haymitch. He just seems to get in the way of the Protagonist Protagonisting. If we're going to have a badass spotlight-stealer, let's *be* the badass spotlight-stealer -- even if we don't start out so badass. Either way, I'm not sure what Haymitch adds to the quest, and he sort-of seems like he'd only constrain it.
I'm also not certain what the MC is meant to *do*. Just...wander in and generically investigate? If you've got a big plot behind this that's going to get triggered early on, I guess I can get it.
>>46548018
>If we're going to have a badass spotlight-stealer, let's *be* the badass spotlight-stealer -- even if we don't start out so badass. Either way, I'm not sure what Haymitch adds to the quest, and he sort-of seems like he'd only constrain it.
I guess it'd be the buddy-cop / older mentor thing. I could see it working if it's handled well.
>enjoy non-textual entertainment for a while
>come back and look at quests I want to run
Ffffffuck.
I don't think there's any way I can, in text, capture the weird alien feeling of exploring and not knowing the local languages and all that.
>>46548018
I find it more entertaining to see if a noble MC will remain noble and just or be shaped by the violence around him. Nature or Nurture.
Haymitch is the key to the plot moving forward, since he knows the local people and he already has a few leads. It will start by following his leads and as you do, you'll discover other leads and eventually the spotlight will fall on the MC more and more will having Haymitch there as your partner.
The MC is supposed to investigate, follow leads, ask questions, gain the local Captains trust etc. Taking steps towards finding and dealing with the gang and its leaders.
>[Another thing -- why would the US have "knights" anyway? That's a decidedly anti-Republican European thing.]
Because muh knights.

I AM SORRY.
FORGIVE ME.
I KNOW IT WAS A MISTAKE BUT I COULDN'T STOP MYSELF.
I WAS CAUGHT UP IN THE MOMENT.
>>46548133
That's what I'm worried about. The mentor's meant to -- mentor. To guide. Excellent device in a novel, allowing you to control the plot -- but that kind of control isn't what you necessarily want in a quest. At least, not so obviously.
The relationship the other way around could work very well, though. Having to mentor a young, green-eared newbie as a grizzled bastard. Trying to stop him from getting himself killed.
>>46548173
I can dig the corruption angle, although I still think the strength of these settings is the desperation. A torn piece of scum realising he's got to do the right thing...but that is just my preferences.
I'm still not a huge fan of starting out playing second fiddle. An inside guy -- an everyone's man, a guy who knows everybody in [X god forsaken town] and is affiliated to the AMERICAN KNIGHTS could fulfil the same role of being a hub of starting leads, without being a major leading character himself.
What exactly are you investigating? The mercenary gang in general? I'd make it more focused, personally: "the mercenaries have been associated with the distribution of a new kind of drug linked with a string of low-level atrocities, we need to investigate just what the fuck this drug is, how it's causing the atrocities, and who created it" gives more direction than "they're using some new stuff and they're in AMERICA, we need to see...them". I'm kind of assuming you've got a hook-behind-the-hook kind of deal. I'd start with that, myself -- if that's too spoilerrific, then a bait hook that at least gives more focus.
>Because muh knights.
I'm as big a fan of "if it's cool, it's cool" as the next fa/tg/uy, but you could really make this cool by thinking the swords!world through. Stuff like hedge knight associations doing quasi-legal shady shit, roughing up that bastard the grocer because he always gives me a dirty look when I buy cucumbers there and doing hits on abusive husbands. Or competing religious knightly orders, or anything.
>>46548350

Worked for Gotham. The grizzled guy provides exposition that the main character can't know because the players don't know it. Unless you're planning on copious navelgazing bullshit where the PC keeps remembering stuff as soon as it's relevant you need to have the information come from somewhere.
You also get the conflict from trying to learn from a guy that's clearly wrong about a lot of things.
>>46548480
If you keep the initiative on the protagonist and his players, I don't have a problem. Making him an opponent himself is definitely a way to do that. But a guy who furthers the plot all by himself...I personally wouldn't do it.
Exposition *can* be done in more ways than "As you know.../I should tell you..." or "you suddenly remember that...".

>>46548888
>Shinigami Quest
Don't play it myself but I seem to recall an argument about in the General a week or so ago. Might be right.
Then again, Quests becoming saltier as they go on is just nature. The longer the Quest the more decisions you vote on. And every single voting decision has a small but not impossible chance for a dude to get impossibly salty over but not drop the Quest itself. So as the Quest goes on the number of salty hanger-ons increases.

We know that some Jedi turn into ghosts. Maybe some of them become a Shinigami of some kind and use their lightsabers in the form of reapers to kill the evil and tainted spirits of the sith and also guide the lost souls.
>>46549102
thats retarded, crossover quests are almost unanimously shit.
>>46549102
I can't tell if you're serious.
>>46548998
When it comes to Sith, it's more fun to start at the beginning and follow his powertrip, like SAQ did to certain degrees. However, Jedi knights aren't about becoming more and more powerful, it's more about doing the right thing and heroic stuff.
So do seasoned jedi knight so the main character isn't a blank page and it has the opportunity to be both action and socially-oriented instead of just being the latter as it would be for most padawans outside of training.
>>46549102
See >>46549128
Fanfiction is one thing. It may not be to everyone's liking but it can be done competently. Crossovers are a different thing altogether.
>>46549102
That's just as retarded as the Mass Effect x Wolfenstein: The New Order crossover idea some anon had weeks ago.

Basically instead of Human Alliance, it's the Third Reich in Mass Effect space. Hell, they're officially on peaceful terms with all council races, but their pro-humanity splinter group known as Cerberus puts pressure on Aliens and fucks their shit up.

>>46550751
What's the plotline and will it run longer than Commando quest? (rip whiskey)
>>46550751
You don't have any mental issues or low self esteem right? I noticed clone quest QMs have that a lot.
>>46550842
Isn't there only one clone quest by whiskey?
>>46550886
AT-AE Commander also ran and had some issues. I think the QMs get REALLY in character with their clones.
>>46550917
Forgot about that one, it was fun while it lasted, why I remember like it was yesterday when he asked in a thread similar to this, whiskey was there too.
>>46550917
Hey, Observer said he'd be back soon. And I doubt he also has strange programming and a habit of depersonalising people to the extreme where he cuts off all their limbs and gouges their eyes out with a blaster barrel.
>>46550969
He just likes Staying Professional.
>>46550969
Jinx needs to be euthanized before he gets the people around him killed. Like no joke.
>>46550812
I'm open to suggestions, but the start will be on Kamino and from there, I'm considering making it episodic with 3-6 threads per planetary battle/missions with references to past battles and other events throughout the Clone wars.
It's either that or have the ARC Trooper MC hunt down Republic traitors and Key Federation figures who might leak or has classified information in solo-missions in both cities and on planets currently embroiled in a war with the occasional appearance and co-operations with Jedi Knights, Clone Commando squads, or Local rebels against the invading CIS forces.
>>46550842
None that I'm aware of. I just enjoy writing.
>>46551019
Think our chip is Malfunctioning or someone fucked with it for their own agenda?
>>46551044
Throw in the occasional desperate mass battle and I'm sold.
Don't know much about ARC troopers I remember last week someone said they were trained by Jango but that's all I know
Should I read up?
>>46551019
As long as Jinx Stays Professional everything will be fine. And he is not defective, or degenerate. There was nothing wrong with his batch of Clones.
>>46551045
I think we were a bad batch that got recycled and mentally altered to be professional, but our former psychotic self is coming back through.
>>46551133
Trip dubs cnfirms it.
>>46551078
Yeah, that was me. ARC Troopers were handpicked by Jango and personally trained by him. That's why they feel a closer tie to their Mandalorian heritage and are more ruthless and efficient in their way of following orders.
>>46551120
I just pray our crew takes us out before we get them killed in an episode.
>>46551163
Looking forward to it then.
>>46551178
I'm just waiting for Carla to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and get mutilated by Jinx. And then he'll wake up the next day and be like "Hey where's Carla, did something happen to her?"

This is just getting my hopes up. I know it's going to end before it's finished.

Kill yourself. She didn't love him until AFTER he conquered her and she remember it. Best girl loved him BEFORE that.
>>46551442

Wait, didn't Chihiro do exactly the same thing? HOW DOES THAT MAKE HER BEST GIRL THEN?

I'll give you she is best sister. 10/10 would headpat.
>>46551563
I don't know.
If a woman fell in love with me after i conquered her, that hits a lot of special fetishes I have.
So I think she's best girl and I have no idea what show you're talking about.
>>46551593
No, if you watch/read it from the start, you can clearly tell she has a thing for him, but denies it, before he gets his mission to conquer bitches.
>>46551589
>>46551626
This, but she's not for romantic purposes, anon.
>>46551626
>>46551635It was a joke that you didn't say best girl for what.

To be fair I stopped going to /a/ when the monster girl threads got moved.
Also why do Arc troopers look like they have space marine physiology in some pictures?
>>46551786
Cause artists can't into proportions sometimes.
They are the same as other clones in physiology.
>>46551730
The author was great at leaving clues and foreshadowing. Shame series got axed and he had to rush everything.
>>46551786
>>46551852
Same proportions, more abadassery.
>>46551852
Thanks for clearing that up for me.
Who would the potential waifu for the quest be? I vote for our gun or a CIS agent.
I don't like that Nerv Bridge Simulator is becoming more waifuwars than angel killing.
>>46551901
I was voting for Haqua a little bit, she was a real qt.
>>46551924
>CIS agent.
We're not doing that again. Fuck you.
>>46551950
Wait what, in what quest? I know it wasn't the commando one, we fucking blinded that bitch and broke most of her bones.
>>46552006
And killed her sisters.
>>46552006
He's talking about the Republic agent that really wasn't, but really was, but really wasn't that Whiskey tried to shoehorn into the plot to give it some intrigue right before it died. Poorly.
>>46552041
Didn't she explode? I was kinda hoping we'd get Yna but Joker nabbed her first.
>>46551924
Waifu in the same sense as the sisters were for Chief or what? People will throw a fit over canon if an ARC Trooper starts fucking and kissing an agent on the other side of the fence.
>>46552070
She knocked us out and that was pretty much the last thing in the quest.
>>46552083
Love/Hate? Love fighting her, Hate her guts for being CIS scum?
Has the potential for hate fucking I think. Or we can just waifu someone else.
>>46552120
>>46552142

>That Sister fought Chief later and then killed herself when she knew she had lost
>Joker brought her back to life with the med-droid
>Republic Agent turns out to be a CIS agent and one of the three Sisters.

>Finds a dead clone trooper in the corridor

>>46552120
I'd be ok with that. Hates the bitch, but enjoys fighting her.
>>46552246
We could kill her father and friends and then she could be the Wang Yi to our Ma Chao.
>>46552279
Now that's what I call Edgy!
What kind of weapon would we start with in Arc quest?
DC 15 or DC 17m?
Rolled 17 (1d20)
>>46553164
>>46553196
Well then.
>>46553164
Westar-M5 Blaster Rifle is the de facto weapon issued for ARC Troopers and it's what they used most often, but they were trained in the usage of all weapons and could frequently change to heavy blaster rifles of different modules appropriated by the GAR.
>>46553196
I'm impressed.
>>46551589
That's Haqua
>>46553240
Glad my magic d20 could help.
>>46553303
Tell me the pros and cons of it anon.
>>46550751
>>46551044
>>46551908
>>46553303
Huh, he's right.
>>46553196
Sick roll though. Hopefully we'll get to choose, but I wouldn't put it past the QM to pick it for us.
>>46553346
>The WESTAR-M5 blaster rifle is adjustable to fire in semi-automatic, automatic, and burst-fire modes. It can be equipped with a variety of attachments, including a under-barrel grenade launcher and pump-action missile launcher for use against armored advancements.
Basically a better and more versatile (and WAY more expensive) version of a DC-17m used by Commando units.
>>46553384
Missile launcher and burst fire for better accuracy is my fetish.
>>46553346
>>46553384
So the con is, if it breaks or you lose it, you ain't getting a replacement.
Puts a whole new meaning to the marine "This rifle is mine" deal.
>>46553384
>>46553417
>>46553421
I want a design similar to the Hand of Sauruman on our helmet.
I think it would look cool.

Once I'vemet her parentsand gotten permission tocourt herthings can get more serious. Afterthree years or so, I'd like toproposeto her so that we canconsummate our marriageandstart a family. Just likeGod intended.Too bad she fucked it up and broke my heart.
>>46553615
Then come up with a better meme, soldier.
>>46553384
How many rounds in a clip, is it 60 like the DC 17?
>>46553957
>This blaster improved on the DC-15 design, making it easier to aim. It featured an extendable stock and a larger ammunition magazine.
Well it apparently has a larger clip than a DC-15a, which has the capacity of 50 rounds per charge pack (with a capacity of 500 depending on the strength of the power setting of the weapon), so hopefully that answers your question. It might have about the same amount of rounds in a clip similar to that of a DC-17m or it might have more or less, but definitely more than 50 per clip?
>>46542053
>African Warlord Quest
I remember someone running something along those lines once or twice. Unfortunately (or fortunately) the players pretty much always white-knight it up.That said, the standards for 'white-knight' in that setting were pretty much ground level.
>>46542165
>Bravosi Repoman Quest
This. I can fap to this.
>>46554126
I just like keeping track of ammo, I loved doing Logistics in school.
So around 75 a clip then.
This thing is better than the DC 17m by a long shot. only downside is no sniper mode, but I guess that's where burst fire comes in.
>>46554183
And we can always add a scope to the rifle too.
>>46554183
Hell, in one battle, a single ARC Trooper laid down enough suppressing fire against an entire CIS battalion of droid with his WESTAR-M5 blaster rifle to buy his men enough time to save a wounded Jedi General.
>>46554269
>suppressing fire
Droids take cover?
>>46554303
No. When I say "suppressing fire" I mean enough fire to put a halt on their march.
How much of a demand is there for a fresh ASOIAF Quest? Pretty much everytime it seems we start out in the Mountains of the Moon.
>>46554413
There's always a demand for a new ASoIaF quest, man. You could either follow the same style everyone before you has had extreme success with (House building and maintaining + politics) or do something differently and throw a die.
Hand of the King quest would be interesting.
