Would anybody be interested in a quest based in Deathworld?
(http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Deathworld)

Summary from the article: "Deathworld roughly follows our own timeline, up until the Second World War. The Nazis begin their invasion of Western Europe, just as in our world, but for some undetermined reason, Hitler never made the fatal mistake of invading the Soviet Union. This allowed the Nazi war machine to consolidate its grip on Fortress Europe, as well as successfully invading Britain. The uneasy peace lasted up until both sides invaded America which had maintained its glorious isolation during the war in Europe. The Nazis now control the Eastern Seaboard and the Soviets control the West, with a large No-Man's-Land between them, devastated by the war between them. These two super-powers are once again in an uneasy peace, but tensions are high. War back in Europe is mostly prevented by the massive fortifications both sides have built up. The real battlegrounds are elsewhere, in South America and Africa, as well as in the contested central United States.
Worse yet, the Soviets and Nazis, despite their dehumanizing superscience and demonology, are amongst the only powers able to truthfully claim that they are ruled by humans. Their opponents, supposedly "free" are ruled by alien horrors, spirits, Fae beings, and the long dead, if not some combination of the above. Will humanity enslave itself to undo these evils? Or will it be obliterated in the fires of hell and atom?"

I've really taken a liking to the setting, and think it'd be neat to run a quest in it.

>>27797426

You mean ADORABLE trashy fanfic.

>>27797402
I like characters with character. And is believable. And not pedo. Unlike Shadow

>Shadow is a pedo edition

>meet little girl
>spend short time with little girl
>little girl moves to foreign country to attend boarding school
>eleven years later, you visit her in her country
>she's grown into a smoking hot woman
>you fall in love with each other and return to your country together
How is that pedo?

>>27797690
Someone actually fell for such obvious bait.

>>27797690
Because she was a little girl then 24 hours later she was a grown-ish woman.

>>27797402
The QTG is a center of anti-questfaggotry. The last thing the people here want to do is help a new quest.

>>27797690
How about the fact that Shadow('s current consciousness) is actually younger than Abigail?

>>27797711
It was actually 11 years or 2-3 months from the perspective of the characters in question, though.

>>27797709
People actually believe it, though. Whether it's bait or not is irrelevant.

>>27797711
>24 hours later
Except it wasn't. Abby lived in the Archonium for 11 years.

>>27797739
It doesn't really matter if people believe it or not. It was a very weird and awkward thing that happened that could be considered pedo or not depending on how you look at it.

Those who don't like it are calling it pedo. Those who are fine with it aren't calling it pedo. It's just a difference in opinion that's affecting how they see events of the quest.

It's pointless to argue over whether it's pedo or not because that's not really the real problem. It's people liking or not liking things.

>>27797731
>>27797739
>11 Years

You don't know that. You only have her crazy yandere love-spiked words to go on.

It's pretty creepy how quickly /you/ can all go from seeing her as a little girl though.

>>27797728
>there will never be porn of Shadow fucking loli Abby, then Abby hyperaging and /ss/ing Shadow

>>27797806
It actually happened rather gradually. When she first asked we were all "I don't know, this is confusing" and she agreed and they decided to just wait and see what happens. Then 20 threads later something happened.

>>27797831
24 hours is gradual?

>>27797806
That and everyone else that's been through the Archonium and our own time-dilated experience.

>>27797856
No, but 20 threads is.

>>27797856
Did you not pay attention to what I said? They decided to hold off after getting out of the Archonium. It wasn't until after the whole thing at Xile and then going back to Archon that anything happened.

Ask SM for word-of-god. Then will you stop bitching?

>It's pretty creepy how quickly /you/ can all go from seeing her as a little girl though.
So if there was a normal, unambiguous eleven year time-skip, you would insist that Abby is still a little girl because you didn't have to literally read through eleven years' worth of story? That sounds like a personal problem, anon, and I highly suggest seeking professional medical help. Also,

>implying I actually read Shadow Quest
Nope. I was curious about all the hubbub, so I just went over the relevant information to see if the cries of pedo were justified. They weren't.

>>27797806
They are all pedos, there is no point in continuing this discussion.
>Shadow gained his humanity through embracing pedophilia
>Abby spent ELEVEN years unhealthily obsessed Shadow.
The people left in Shadow Quests are not someone i would like to meet in person.

>>27797991
Much too overt, anon. You need to be more subtle.

>>27797991
You make several compelling points.

She's spent 11 years lusting after a clearly autistic creature. What is wrong with the players?

>>27797928
>normal, unambiguous eleven year time-skip,
That would be fine because that's a lot longer than 24 hours.

Now I want to know how shoving a child in a magical Make-a-Waifu closet suddenly makes fucking her okay. She has been alone and unsocialized for 11 years, meaning the mentally she is still a child, if she hasn't degraded into full on feral child by now. In fact, wanting to fuck the not-child Abby is even worse, because she is literally brain damaged and insane now.

>>27798040
Not to mentioned (as oft mentioned by the NO PEDOPHILIA players) she barely spent time with him. There is clearly something wrong about someone who spends a few days with a person and later spends 11 years lusting after said person.
And even more wrong about someone who thinks, "I want to hit that."

Anyway, we should not continue this discussion on /qtg/ is shits up the thread.

>>27798086
Now you're just making assumptions that goes against established shit.

>>27798086
I tried to warn them, Anon.

They didn't listen.

But! It's all okay! Because SM is going to kill everyone soon enough hopefully!

It's just a story m8.

>>27798141
What does posting screencaps from a clearly obvious troll out of context prove?

>>27798161
It's worrying when a troll's dialogue is better than 99% of player suggested things.

>>27798161
Exactly that people should treat it as a story and stop taking things on the internet so seriously.
Because it's honestly very silly.

Well, if he isn't then he's harem protagonist-tier dense because everyone yells at him when he starts that shit and his typical response is basically "y u mad tho?"

I keep saying this, but every time I hear about this quest, goddamn.

bad dialogue in a character driven quest? Fuck that.
Though sadly that limits me to bromquests.

>>27798284
>she NTRd ArchoniShadow, just to make him want/love her more

>>27798293
Shitty compared to regular fiction maybe. Considering that it's in a thread on 4chan, being written on the spot, it's pretty high quality.

>>27798067
The anon I quoted was referring to the players' perception of Abby, not Shadow's.

>>27798086
>alone and unsocialized for 11 years
>mentally still a child
Pretty sure that's not how brains work, anon. I'll give you that she's probably a little crazy, but you'd have to be at least a little off your rocker to love an eldritch god.

>>27798107
>And even more wrong about someone who thinks, "I want to hit that."
But crazy girls make the best lays, anon. It is known. Falling in love with them, however, is generally not a good idea.

It seems to me that the people crying about pedo see Shadow as some kind of self-insert wish-fulfilment, when they should really see him as a character in a story.

As a random example, Fight Club's relationship between the narrator and Marla was super fucked up on so many levels, but it made for an interesting story and a believable, sweet romance. Writing it didn't make Palahniuk a bad person, and enjoying it doesn't make the readers bad people.

>>27798293
He's making shit up. I'd put SM as one of the few QMs who actually knows how to write decent character interaction. Player suggestions can be terrible but SM doesn't take the bad ones.

>>27798311
Comparatively, this shit over there is indeed less shit than this slightly shittier shit over here.

Let us celebrate the almost not but still shitty, for all we have is shittier.

>>27798317
>Pretty sure that's not how brains work, anon
Theyre not, which is why I said it was the BEST possible outcome of her being shut in a vacuum for 11 years that you could hope for.

>>27798317
But you are not controlling the actions of Narrator and the whole point of that relationship is how fucked up it is. Meanwhile, the anons in SQ seem to think theres nothing at all fucked up about the Abbey situation.

>>27798351
I think you're forgetting the magical world part and the fact that the device is literally designed to make a person come out of it without any internal conflicts holding them back anymore by pitting their different desires and such against each other.

It's a magical grow up device in every sense of the word, not a magical mind fuck vacuum.

>>27798393
Okay, so she is a child who has been shoved into a Magical Girl Pitfighting Arena against herself and has been doing this for 11 years with no one else around. Thats MUCH better.

>>27798385
Look, I know it's a messed up relationship. But everyone in this thread is pretending it's a different kind of messed up just because they're mad about it.

>>27798418
>>27798442
>this relationship is supposed to be fucked up, it fits the character!
>theres nothing wrong with my waifu you slut!
Make up your mind.

>>27798317
>It seems to me that the people crying about pedo see Shadow as some kind of self-insert wish-fulfilment, when they should really see him as a character in a story.
For me reading stories and watching movies usually involves a great deal of empathy. I get lost in the story, for a time i become the character. I assume this happens to other people as well. Each time i read shadow quest i felt with Shadow's decisions. they were all rational, to a point. That point were the pedophilia shit.
I can enjoy watching movies about people being crazy and shit. Because they are believable. In my case i couldn't read Shadow Quest anymore because i could empathize with Shadow anymore.

>>27798418
Stop baiting.

Let us reflect that while, yes, this is a bit fucked up, it's not as fucked up as shoving (season 1) Nanoha into a time warp to fuck (season 3) Nanoha.

Goddamnit, MSQ.

>>27798385
Two incredibly damaged people falling in love isn't pedo or wrong. It's just fucked up.

>>27798450
What I'm saying is that you're exaggerating. She has problems, but they aren't nearly as big or even the one's you're claiming them to be.

Or possibly its both kinds of fucked up, but you are okay with only one of those types so you try to rationalize the other one away.

It's not like this exact conversation hasn't happened plenty of times before.

How would you guys enjoy a Blatant Magical Realm quest?

>>27798684
Depends. What is in your magical realm, anon?

>>27798684
Not into watersports, so I'd best enjoy it filtered out of my sight.

>>27798684
I liked Plump Grabbable Ass Quest so I guess if it was like that over BFQ I'd enjoy it.

Though PGAQ kind of had the problem of too often fighting it's magical realm nature.

>>27798472
Anon who referenced Fight Club here. I was going to bring Saya no Uta up originally, but SnU's pedo-vibes would have been too low-hanging a fruit for anons.

>>27798548
>>27798534
But that's half of what makes SM such a good QM.

Looking at starting up a quest.

Would anyone play a Jagged Alliance 2 inspired quest set in a slightly alternate 90s universe?

Command mercenaries, travel the world, fight other people's wars for profit, get tons of loot.

>>27798684
establish your magical realm quickly, after the second thread you'll bust or have a following

>>27798715
But Ass Quest was probably the most interesting setting of any recent quest. Oeople love to wank on Lamia Quest for being traditional adventure, but Ass Quest did that aspect so much better.
>inb4 people call this post bait
Its fucking true and you know it. Even the relationships were more well developed than all recent quests.

>>27798906
It was a good quest, it's a damn shame it died.

>>27798700
It's the magical realm to end all magical realms. It lacks nothing. There is not a single thing from monstergirl les mindrape dom transformation circuses to forced eating various bodily wastes and fluids to guro fixated shota demons fighting BDSM fixated pure moe angel lolis to humanized animalia fighting for territory and dominance with irrelevant kingdoms and empires founded on virtues of deviant sluttery that fight with engineered diseases and godly levels of magic that reshape peoples and parts of the world into festering sicknesses that invade the body and mind in terrible ways while the gods of the setting embody only the best of the worst aspects of all these things and compete in the central world by divine proxies while sometimes the pure psychological aspects of these matters infest lands so deeply and the world responds in kind and everything otherwise and inbetween that I can't state cleanly in one post.

The MC would be just some random joe forced into the world from a much saner place.

...Dare you enter my magical realm?

>>27798906
go on. You've claimed it's a great adventure story.
Tell me why.

>>27798944
I'll believe it when I see it, anon.

>>27798906
Woah, man. I like Ass quest to and sort of agree with you but don't throw around absolute statements like that. You knew people might consider what you wrote as bait and you just went right on and declared it better than other quests instead of just detailing it's own merits over comparison.

>>27798959
the only reason he mentioned other quests was to troll. you can tell by how he used "wanking".

>>27798944
Is there a secretly village of deviants who only do it in the missionary position, lights off, under the covers for the sole purpose of procreation?

>>27798953
The good ones always die. A good quest rarely gets more than ~30 installments.

>>27798990
>it's good because it died
That's a terribly terribly unconvincing argument.

>>27798974
Two, actually. However one is just that with an edge of fire tricks, and the other that is inbred cannibals.

>>27799007
Even most of the completed quests worth reading rarely make it to 30 threads.

>>27798974
That'd be the equivalent of waking Cthulhu. A forbidden ritual that rends reality asunder in an apocalyptic calamity.

>>27799027
Is this also the same effect that /a/ talks about when mangas go on for much longer than they should?

>>27799027
you're failing to convince me, and instead just repeating a claim that I disagree with.

>>27798973
Nah, its just my opinion. I don't give a fuck what you think of it or Ass Quest, though I do feel slightly bad about souring Ass Quest for you guys by being a bit of a jackass. I needed to get that off my chest all the same, though.

>>27799034
This begs the question, woould cthulhu be seen as a sex symbol in this world?

>>27799057
get what off your chest? that assquest is bestquest? Rude.

>>27799040
Most likely. Take Lamia Quest, for example. The second act dragged on like fuck since it was clear that Echo was just in it for the attention at that point.

Or MGNQ. MGNQ is just a clusterfuck that doesn't know what to do with itself.

>>27799034
No most certainly not. Apocalyptic calamities from forbidden rituals (generally) take much more "fluid energy" than those kinds of methods would be able to provide.

>>27799060
One of the lesser deities comes close.

>>27799083
I guess the king in yellow will take on a whole new role in this world.

>>27799081
Why must you speak in half truths, anon?

>>27799053
Not that guy but I'll give an attempt at why I think the quest is good.

The theme of the quest is "it's not about change, it's about choice." The main character grows to like the changes to himself, or at least some of them, and becomes comfortable with his new life since, as an adventurer, it's not all that different from the one he wanted. However, the cursed artifact he's got keeps trying to force more changes he wouldn't be comfortable with on him. It's kind of a fight between magical temptation and legitimate desire for something.

Fucking 4chan image fuckery

>>27799081
I miss zeon quest, no waifu, no downtime, only heroism and teacup, it even ended instead of dying.

>>27799137
well, for the sake of that then, LQ slowed down mostly because of trying to switch playstyle from an adventure-y type thing to an empire building type thing. It sped right back up and then finished when it switched back to adventure.

>>27799122
Also, the more erotic bits are either sectioned off in pastebins or in "could have beens". I think only twice did the dress get what it wanted. Maybe three times.

>>27799122
I have no idea what even the premise is man, start over.
>>27799169
I think I had that on my list to read. Wasn't it like a billion fucking episodes long?

>>27799205
I think it's two year worth of threads.

>>27799184
It never really recovered, though, and the narrative was really lacking for the entire second arc. Maybe Echo wasn't phoning it in, though, and his writing was just legitimately that bad.

>>27799221
yeah, I'm not complaining at its length, it's just... you know... eesh.
I'm sure I'll appreciate how long it is once I get into it.

>>27799225
things like "phoning it in" and "he's legitimately bad" are really not helpful criticisms for people trying to learn from this, anon.
Things like "Changing style of play mid game may be damaging to your pacing" might be more useful.

>>27799186
Well, that exhibitionism in the bathhouse was sort of the character and the dress both getting what they wanted at the same time. Though the MC beat down it's influence to be assured it was him making the decision.

>>27799205
MC wants to be adventurer. Gets cursed by erotic artifact that gives him crazy magic powers at the cost of transforming him into a girl and doing even more crazy transformations if he lets it. Goes on an adventure to get rid of the curse. Decides the circumstances of his adventuring career aren't that bad as long as he can find a way to get the voices in his head to stop.

>>27799234
The only downside is that there's a lot of Meta going around, but apologized did a good job challenging the players at every turn.

The funniest part about all the people getting buttrustled over Lamia Quest is that the original writefaggotry was typical /tg/ drivel, and surely no better than whatever the quest was.

>>27799324
the writefaggotry was pretty good for /tg/
the quest was pretty good for /tg/

If slightly bored between interesting threads

>>27798856

This seemed to be something along the lines of "You're best friend is bleeding out, you should do something to save him!" Then four equally unappealing and uninspired radio buttons.

>>27799573
I haven't read Bleach Quest, that being said my favorite fight scenes are probably from Joker Quest and Totemist Quest.

>>27799603
I always fight the fights in Totemist to be so incredibly dramatic. It's like TTGL but in a magical world where choices make power. I like it.

>>27799581
bleh, that's one of my less favorite battle types even.
Though, I don't like battle even in tabletop. These types of mechanics just aren't fun to me unless you pass the majority of it off to a computer.

>>27799786
Someone was talking about how the thread was cancelled. I was just proving him wrong.

He already announced his own damn quest when he made the twitter post, numbnuts.

>>27799786
Someone literally just posted to gloat that SM was a no-show. It's delicious come-uppance.

>>27799786
What has me worried is "laying down the narrative dump," that just reeks of CHOICES and CONSEQUENCES.

What on earth could he possibly mean?

So, what quest would people like to see? Sadly, I am not really a good enough writer to run a quest.

I, for one, would like to see the following:

>Reboot quest
With the possibility to play either a guardian, a virus or some net mutant.

>Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne quest
That would basically run itself.

>Final Fantasy Tactics quest
You are an actor in the war of the two lions. Betrayal, betrayal, more betrayal and cheesy speeches.

>>27799792
I dunno, his depiction of pedophiliac autists is pretty spot on.

>>27799827

robot defense quest.
You are the protectron 3,000. It is your job to defend the local humans from harm. Face numerous foes in an episodic fashion, ranging from zombie plague that requires quarantine, violence, and scrubbing to eliminate to robot uprising of the new securitron model, requiring HACKING! and covert operations to defeat.

strangely enough, the more I hear about BFQ, the more I want to read it.
It's like the opposite of the standard QTG effect on a quest.

>>27800123
Indeed. The only explanation is that it's not nearly as exciting as people make it out to be.

>>27800123
>>27800150
The times when things actually happen are interesting.

Most of the time, things didn't happen. The QM ran it while they were working, and it was slow as everloving fuck.

It could be compressed down very much very easily. Much bloat from stupid arguments and slow pace.

But the QM was actually pretty ok at dialog. Not the best, but far from the worst.

>>27800123
There's really not much point reading it now that it's over, to be perfectly honest.

A good deal of the fun was dealing with the other players.

If a QM is having trouble with their main quest, is it acceptable to run some one-shots to blow off steam and get their mojo back?

>>27800278
>Weaponizing fork-minds by driving them mad through torture

>>27800296
That usually backfires when people actually enjoy the one-shots and the QM becomes more motivated to do them over their main quest and turns one of them into a full-time thing.

It'ss better to just do some regular writing or play a game with some friends. Get away from /tg/ a while, you know?

This explains so much

>>27801027
I stopped posting when everyone disappeared. I never read shadow quest.

What's the most minor issue to make you drop a quest?

>>27802180
My choice of waifu didn't win.

>>27802180
Someone submitting tryhard suggestions, even if they aren't voted for.

>>27802192
Which quest?

>>27802180
Is poor formatting minor? If so, that.

>>27802243
All of them.

>>27802180
Excessive samefagging, even if it's voting for the same things I am.
It's like, why even bother if one person alone is going to drown out everyone else who's involved?
It completely defeats the purpose of playing a collective game. The samefag might as well be playing a one on one RPG at that point.

>>27802243
Guess.

Hint: The QM is still around, and there was a continuous shitstorm for months while it was happening.

>>27802303
Exabyte and PSIQ?

>>27802303
PsionQ?

>>27802303
I have absolutly no idea. The only quest I was heavily invested in just ended.

>>27802315
>>27802324
Yes.

I still feel dirty when I remember that I actually followed that quest.

>>27802348
So... You would have been perfectly find if your choice of waifu HAD won?
I don't think that's a justifiable position to take, anon.
I wanted Summer...

>>27802348
Yeah, that waifu war was awful.
Which is strange following up SorQ which had the most civil waifu war ever and VaQ, which had a pretty standard waifu war.
Well, AscQ hasn't had any waifus at all yet. So that's something.

>>27802348
I still find it funny that /tg/ got NTR'd.

Which quest do you follow outside of /tg/?

>>27802348
>>27802315
Incidentally, its that same issue that instantly turns me off to any quest run by Exabyte. I guess you cant call it dropping since I never followed psion or AQ to begin with, but it certainly keeps me from bothering with him and its admittedly a pretty petty reason to ignore the guy.
>>27802400
And they got so butthurt about it they tried to rewrite time to make their waifu less of a slut.

>>27802372
>>27802348
Well, at least I've learned what NOT to do.

>>27802394
That's because I make every different quest different. Some are waifu-heavy, some don't have anything. And some are shit, and filled with bad decisions on my own part.

>>27802417
Crown of Bones.

>>27802394
>Let's see... Exabyte and waifus...
NFCQ: Romance, but not enough to be called waifu, since it didn't derail the story and there was only one option anyway.
SORQ1: No romance at all
SCQ: Still locked into romance from NFCQ. Minor argument about haremfaggotry. Mostly ignorable.
SORQ2: Weirdly civil waifu war. Many options, but almost no bitching or derailing. Very strange
VaQ: Standard waifu war.
PsiQ: WARGHBLARGLBLARGLBLARG
AscQ: No romance options, no waifus. Yet.

>>27802442
Your waifu losing is why you haven't read any of Exabutt's quests? What?

>>27802442
>And they got so butthurt about it they tried to rewrite time to make their waifu less of a slut.
Wouldn't you? I mean, god, who likes sluts?

>>27802508
I tihnk sluts is a pretty cool grill. Seh sucks all the cocks and doesnt afraid of any position

>>27802505
Not quite. The whole waifu wars/NTR drama thing surrounding psion quest is why I avoid Exabyte. I didn't even participate in that quest, so I didn't have a waifu to lose.

>>27802473
Psion Quest was a perfect storm of bad decisions which drew a bad audience, creating a spiralling feedback loop of atrocity. You could literally link a newbie QM to the archive and say "Don't do that" and it would be really good advice. Psion Quest was *bad*.

On the other hand, Cyborg Quest was pretty good. I actually quite liked that one.

Yeah, it is. That's like deciding you're done with a book series because the author killed a character you like. Actually it's like deciding you're done with anything that author has ever done and will ever do because he killed off a character you like

Just more /qtg/ lies.

>>27802538
Putting that aside, nobody likes sluts. QMs, if you are ever in any position to write a female into being a slut, put that notion aside. Forever. Those are terrible people and you've done yourself a disservice by even thinking about it.

>>27802574
You are never obligated to give anything to your entertainment. The moment it stops being fun, you are entitled to stop.

>>27802560
The protagonist was the slut. The only thing stopping her from casually fucking anyone she considered a friend was the fact that it might hurt their feelings.

I think every other character acted pretty reasonably given the circumstances. Except for the thing that made the timetravel retcon shenanigans occur in the first place.

>>27802400
From the outside looking in, I can imagine it was fucking hilarious.

I was at ground zero. I had tried to pull the quest away from waifuing, at the start, but at that point it was too late and I could only watch as autistic neckbeards raped and burned something I enjoyed reading.

>>27802544

PsiQ is honestly Exabyte's worst work. Sorceress Quest, Cyborg Quest and Vale Quest were all much better.

Seriously, it's a blot on his otherwise spotless record.

I highly recommend that you read his other work and try and participate in Ascent Quest. It's really well done and has an interesting combination of mystery, combat and shenanigans.

>>27802626
>I think every other character acted pretty reasonably given the circumstances.
What kind of bizarro world do you live in?

>>27802574
Read my post again, I never invested myself in psion quest. Its more of after hearing about his quest and seeing its fanbase in action, I decided to have nothing to do with either. Using your analogy, it would be more like seeing some author write some kinda shitty bodice-ripper love novel and decide theyre not worth my time.
>>27802584
An earnestly proposed idea that gained a lot of traction was using the time chamber thingamajig to stop Slutbones from cheating on the MC. It took Exa telling them no to get them to shut up, but they still wanted to do it. Bad.

>>27802584
That one actually did happen. It was a legitimate plan at one point.

>>27802618
Sure, but you owe it to yourself to be mature enough of a person to make the reason one that doesn't make you sound like a petulant kid. It just doesn't matter enough to get that upset about.

>>27802634
>>27802544
I really liked PsionQ's opening. It just sort of quantum devolved into waifuing after a few threads.

>>27802634
>Seriously, it's a blot on his otherwise spotless record.

As someone who enjoys Exabyte, that's a hilarious joke. Did you even read the beginning of Vale Quest?

>>27802626
>The protagonist was the slut.
/tg/ always plays a slut. This comes as a surprise to exactly no one.

>>27802588
>nobody likes sluts
But...but I just said I do, anon.

>>27802656
No it didn't.
It was mentioned ONCE in the irc as a joke, once in the quest itself, then shot down by Exabyte.

>>27802657
There's no maturity or immaturity concerning whether or not you like a piece of entertainment. If you found it disagreeable, you can stop at any time and nobody has the right to tell you otherwise. It can be for anything.

>>27802688

>>27802685
Or that one quest that only got 2 threads.
At least he let that one die when it wasn't working.

>>27802700
No there's maturity about WHY you like or dislike something. If I say I like MLP because I enjoy watching it with my daughter as quality time, that's a mature reason. If I say I like MLP because one of ponies is mai waifu, that's an immature reason and I should probably be shot.

NFC is pretty solid. Asshole is a one shot, but the guy has done other one shots in that setting.
BSA died, probably more sci-fi anyway.
'M'GQ is more sci-fi.

I know there's at least another two that I'm forgetting.

>>27802787
NFC does get pretty sci-fi near the end, and goes balls deep into soft sci-fi in the sequel (Space Cyborg Quest)

>>27802799
Just because you're free to do something doesn't make it a good idea. Just because you have a reason doesn't make it a good or just or even valid reason. And if you share your shitty reasons - which you are also free to do - everybody else can tell you that your reasons are shit and that they make you a shit person. They're free to do that too.

>>27802588
Tough shit, holmes, I already have some female characters sketched out and you'll like exactly none of them! Ive got a slut addicted to always having the latest and greatest cybernetics, a paranoid shadowrunner who cant into romantic relationships due to her semi-codependent relationship with a giant insectoid alien, a mildly clingy humaboo alien who is literally venomous as well as poisonous, and a former battlewhore, just to name a few.

Basically, it will be impossible to form a healthy relationship with anyone ever.

>>27802823
It might be my opinion, but I believe that the sheer volume of enjoyment that I get out of reading his work far outweighs the dickishness of his manner on the boards.

It's somewhat similar to Ogre Civ in the way that reading through the threads just puts a huge grin on my face and keeps it there for the rest of the day.

>>27802845
Their disparaging claims are equally invalid and pretty pointless. All this summed up means that giving a shit about whether or not someone liked or dropped something is fucking stupid.

>>27802860
I'll keep an eye out for your quest and shit it up, just because of your incredibly petty attitude right there. Is it petty of me to do so? Yes! But I don't give a fuck.

>>27802868
The difference is Blorp is a legitimately cool guy while Bromont is a massive faggot. His writing is cringeworthy and awful, too. It relies way too much on LOLSORANDUMB and LOL, LOOKIT DEM TITTAYS.

>>27802699
It was mentioned several times in the quest itself you lying slut.

>>27802180
A little girl gets involved.

>>27802916
I can see entirely where you are coming from.

However I think that the 'poor' style of writing, while technically terrible, forces a strange pace on the reader that makes the whole thing a lot more 'fun' to read. For me, anyway.

And yes, Blorp is a pretty legendary guy and Bromont is a faggot. But thankfully I don't have to pick between them.

>>27802926
Several times within one thread before getting shut down by Exabyte, maybe.

>>27802860
You know, there's a certain level of deliberate contrariness that something can handle before it just becomes stupid. The basic outlines you have posted are already beyond that mark.

>>27802914
>>27802957
How is it petty for me to want to include maladjusted individuals in my quest? I wouldnt be doing it to spite /tg/, but rather because I find them more fun to write than pure maidos who only do what /tg/ wants em to do.

Besides, Ive had these niggas planned out long before your post and I will probably never make the quest anyways, so hah! Wait...

>>27802972
For me, your concepts just look like they wandered out of middle school (not in that innocently terrible way) and you should be ashamed.

Even if by some miracle something was created that didnt legitimately offend anyone, someone would pretend to be offended just to be contrary.
