Because I'm currently running two fanfiction settings, meaning the OC setting I originally wanted to run and the two OC settings I've since come up with are sitting on the backburner until I finish (or get sick of) these ones.

>>31979235
I think that Chimera settings deserve an honorable rank boost if they're either hilarious or it somehow magically works.

>>31979308
Chimera settings only deserve an honorable rank boost if you change the names and thereby render them unrecognizable.

>>31979350
That's no fun. I'd rather just openly parade the stitched together abomination through town and maybe give it a peanut when it doesn't maul the locals than stretch some cream-colored latex over it and pretend it's a normal person while schoolkids wonder why the funny man is leaking green stuff.

>>31979350
What quests do this?

>>31979066
>Player
I like OC quests a lot better, particularly ones with world building, I looooove world building.

I don't have any rational argument against fanfiction quests though, they're just... eh to me.

>>31979442
Most OC quests, probably. You stuff a bunch of things you like together, make minor adjustments so it all fits, and blammo. "Original setting."

>>31979482
Just because it's generic fantasy doesn't mean it's a chimera setting. Chimera settings are shit like "It's Attack on Titan mixed with Pokemon and Monster Hunter", not "It's sort of like Forgotten realms BUT"

Fuuuuuuuck I love Maverick Hunter Quest. I archive binged it and now all I want is more of it.

>>31979066
>QM
I've only ran OC quests, never attempted a fanfiction quest. Part of it was that I felt that fanfiction quests were kind of lame from a player perspective, the other was the freedom I would have with everything when it was all OC.

>>31979442
Overhuman is Psyren mashed with the magic system from Raildex and then the esper/psi powers from both series crammed in there.

If you really wanted to sperg like an asshole, you could probably argue that Shadow Quest is Greek mythology+Blame! somehow.

>>31979506
If you jam enough things together, and take a bit of time to make them gel, it becomes impossible to recognize the final product as a composite of its parts.

>>31979066

>QM

One concern is that players will know more about the setting than I do, or that I'll say something wrong and make people mad.

When it's OC, when I'm unsure of a certain part of the world, I find it easy to create content that matches the rest.

Joker Quest when? I need my fix of suffering, waifu crying and ass kicking.

>>31979506
>Forgotten realms
I wouldn't mind one of those. Set it in Rashemen, have the dude be a Barbarian, punch Red Wizards in the dick all day erry day.

>>31979066
>QM question.
I don't run fanfiction quest because I like to create my own settings.

>>31979564
It always amuses me how you people claim retarted shit like that.

>>31979564
>>31980044
All writers are creative sponges, and you can take any setting anywhere and come up with 'oh it's just X and Y together!' and be both right and entirely wrong at the same time.

>>31979629
The quest I plan on running has a heavy dose of Forgotten Realms BUT.

>>31979066
I run a fanfiction Quest. It's easy to try and fluff your own part of the setting but I keep myself very strict when it comes to canon information. I just do my research on settings which I consider very interesting, from GuP, to Strike Witches, to Madoka Magica, etc.

In terms of OC Quests, the most OC I've done yet are either Magical Girl Liberty and Magic Shop Quest. The latter much more. I find that worldbuilding is a difficult but interesting experience, especially in terms of coming up with races.

There's certainly a difference. OC Quests require a lot of thought and I admire the QMs who do such a thing.

In terms of fanfiction, I should iterate something keeps me inspired as a writer: "Nothing is new under the sun."

And most importantly, I hate it when people use the term cliche disparagingly. Cliches are cliche because they work, and people notice that they work. The only people who use cliches badly are the ones who don't understand why they work.

>>31980156
But what?

Everyone says they're going to run a quest but few people do. And out of those only a couple are good.

Any young quests running today I could quickly archive binge and participate in? I've got a stupid amount of free time today.

Just gonna throw this out there: Rose (from Fuck Quest) would be 10x as good a character if she was nonwhite, Alabaster called her racial slurs, and she begged for his master race cock. Otherwise the same, of course.

Race play is such a god-tier fetish.

>>31980156
Hit me. BUT what?
There're no Elves? The Gods are long dead? It's actually Spelljammer?

>>31980308
>I've got a stupid amount of free time today.
Then why don't you want to binge on a leviathan monstrosity?
I've been considering reading through The Evoker over on Akun all in one go. Wanna do it at the same time with me? The word count is a tad daunting, but it might be fun. From what I've heard, it's like War and Peace, except with Angst and Lesbians.

>>31980360
I've never been on Akun before, but this might be a good experience.

I usually have lesbians as a red flag though.

>>31980360
I like Evoker, but it meanders a lot. Very character-focused over plot or action, really. The faster and more engaging sections do exist of course, and I find them generally very well done. I guess it might be better paced when you don't have to wait between updates...basically if you like the characters then you're probably gonna enjoy it, but if you're ambivalent or worse towards them I can't imagine trudging through the slower parts.

Forgotten realms but sort of Berserk, with a touch of Elder Scrolls and extra cheese. It's sort of like how media in the 90's and early 2000's represented D&D. Cheesy, over the top and not really that serious. The main inspiration taken from Berserk is the gradual escalation of power. Start out as a guy who can swing sword good, eventually turn into murderhobo prime doing flips and shit while swinging sword really really good. That, and inspiration on how to have monstrous demons.
>>31980317
Half dragons are incredibly common and produce Half dragons with pretty much whoever they mate with.

>>31980408
Akun is fun sometimes. Flatline and Subject Six are good and not yet horrifying million-word monsters if you want something you can catch up in within a couple hours if you read slow. Also not yuri (male protags).

Golden Empire is pretty yuri and it's also something like 500k words if you want something on the other end of the spectrum. The Evoker is even bigger and more yuri from the looks of things.

To Be Human is also pretty good. There isn't overt yuri, but there's some undertones going on. Probably going to happen eventually, but it's so fucking slow that it may take decades.

Anyway, yeah. TBH, Flatline, Subject6, and GE are the only 4 I follow there. Thinking of binging Evoker but I keep putting it off.

>>31979519
Sure is a shame that Hunter Command only runs like once a month.

He writes really good characters and has a drawfag on retainer

>>31980528
>but it's so fucking slow that it may take decades.
R.I.P. Imp's notes.

>>31979066
>QM Question

I enjoy world building and coming up with settings. I have only run OC quests and will probably only ever run OC quests. I like the feeling that people are running around and enjoying a story in a setting I made. I love nothing more than answering questions about my setting.

Honestly, I don't think I'll ever run a fan fiction quest. Most of them are anime based and my power level is too low for that. As for non-anime stuff... I just don't feel comfortable taking another person's setting and using it, let alone their characters.

>>31980577
It kinda feels like the kinda cheap excuse someone would give for not continuing the story, especially given the slow updates previously, but I refuse to give up hope. Plus Imp could have just dropped it when it happened rather than promise more, so it wouldn't make much sense. Guess Imp's just cursed!

>>31980528
GE didn't feel as hard to catch up with as most longer quests simply because it's split into different parts that look more manageable individually. Sure I can read 60k words!

>>31980696
I never got why some QMs get so bothered about notes, I run completely noteless and I've only forgotten names and places a coooouple times.

QM Question: Why don't you run an OC Quest? Why don't you run a fanfiction quest? If you've run both, what're the differences?

I've run two OC quests and no Fanfic quests.

Fanfic questions open questions of propriety and permission.


Also Dead Gods this friday!

>>31979066
>QM: Why don't you run a fanfiction quest?
While it provides a ready audience, that only goes for popular or recent settings, which have already had their fair share of quests. Also, you're far less limited in your cast and setting.

@Someone_else___

Also, if someone could get me into the QM twitter directory, I would greatly appreciate it.

Scorpion Girl is up, if a little late. >>31981363

>>31981088
One is never enough.

>>31981158
>Hell on Wheels Quest.
It is not on rails. It is on wheels.

>>31981370
Yeesh man, you don't just get let in to the QM twitter directory. There are applications to file.

I want to try something within the BakaTest setting: the LNs ended (unless more side stories are coming), the whimsical high school setting combined with grades-as-power is something I wish was real, and it'd be a good test of the fangame I'm trying to create.

The system I'm trying to solidify involves weaponry, diplomacy, and social links all affecting the flow of a war. There's just something charming about young'uns studying in groups (building up resources) and suffering hardship together (learning in either an ideal or decrepit environment, something that would be ethically wrong to subject to children).

I just have to organize the dice and saving-throw systems.

>>31981440

>>31979066
>QM Question: Why don't you run an OC Quest? Why don't you run a fanfiction quest? If you've run both, what're the differences?
I don't run a fanfiction quest because if I did, it would be identical to reading/playing/watching the media in question.
Makes no sense to me. If I want to make, say, a diablo quest, I'll make the quest like the games. Because otherwise what would be the fucking point of making a diablo quest if it's not going to be anything like the games?

Just letting you know that the waifus in BakaTest carried the whole franchise SO HARD. Only the first novel really did the war well, maybe you can count the field trip if you're feeling generous.

After that, it just came down to HAHA NOPE CAN'T WIN AGAINST CLASS A EVER, which was in part thanks to the poorly executed Yuuji's confession plotline. Just saying this if you ever decide to draw from the source material.

I read the last several novels (trudging through the baseball shit) just for more Minami.

HEHEHEHEHEH.

>>31981966
and i just realized this idea i had for a game i wish existed could be adapted to quest medium! in fact it's probably the only medium it would feasibly exist in.

what is the most addictive mechanic in quests?

>>31982218
Upgrades Trees and Waifus... even better if the two somehow work together.

>>31982218
Upgrades.
Joker Quest, Shadow Quest and HMQ are like crack to me.

>>31982218
Upgrades?

>>31982218
Progression charts/Ability charts, without a doubt.
Waifus might have your players tearing each other apart, but an ability chart- especially one with hidden bits, will have them smashing forward and gather exp/chart points anyway they can.

>>31982218
UPGRADES.
Rolling dice.

I wanted to try and run Justize WAAAAAAGH of 40k tomorrow, but I can't come up with anything entertaining or otherwise fun about the Quest beyond Justice League Orkz.

I'll still run something tomorrow though. Perhaps the next miniseries Quest which can last anywhere between 5-10 threads. Stay tuned.

>>31982270
>>31982271
>>31982274
Ok, now what about... waifu upgrade trees.

>>31982270
Like... Waifus that have upgrade trees? Minmaxing the love of your life?

>>31982294
That could work, make your waifu the best waifu!

>>31981987
What I'm saying is that if you're doing a quest about diablo, and then change things by getting rid of the demons, then why the hell would you make a diablo quest? Give it another name, and nobody'll be able to tell the difference.

>>31982294
Romance X Redheaded Waifus to unlock firebreath?

>>31982294
>>31982306
Your waifu is like those one chicks with the gems on their body like in Erementar Gerard. You get an upgrade tree to improve her weapon form and you gain EXP by improving your relationship.

>>31982294
This guy has the right idea: >>31982306

TWGOK Quest when?

Waifu Upgrade trees everywhere.

>>31982306
>>31982294
Was thinking more like using waifus to unlock new skills, but hey that works.

>>31982294
So like Fire Emblem Awakening?

>>31982306
Yes. Yes exactly.

>>31982325
No one but an idiot would fucking do that.

How would a diablo quest with demons in it be the exact same fucking thing as the game?

>>31982369
Because both in the quest and in the game you wander about and kill demons? Otherwise it wouldn't be a diablo quest.

So, customizable, upgradable waifus and sex bots that go to war for you...

>>31982294
What if the waifu is a weapon which has it's own upgrade tree alongside the MCs upgrade tree

>>31982415
yes perfect

>>31982181
Hell, I have like, three ideas for games I want to make, all with interesting universes, but only one has a well developed plot and the other two have nonexistent storylines.

I'm considering turning all of them into quests, mostly to see what /tg/ would do with them, maybe help develop a story for the latter two.

>>31982284

This. Players love customization, and the prospect of becoming more powerful. Just look at Shadow Quest.

>>31982427
even better, you make magic clones of them to do the actual fighting, while never actually risking the original waifu

>>31982395
So? Is it the exact same story? The exact same character? Are you in the exact same place as the game?

You can run a fanfic quest preserving the seting, tone, and atmosphere of the original material and still not have it be the exact same thing as the game.

That's like saying the sequels to diablo are exactly the same game as the first one. Or that anything about wandering around killing demons is the exact same thing as diablo.

>>31982441
no no where's the drama

your waifu comes back from the battle and wants to celebrate victory

she's extra frisky

>>31982294
You've finally saved up enough money- Your AI waifu now has a body, limited though it is.
But it's not enough- Who want to expeirence life and love in a body with low resolution eyes and 1 degree of pressure sensitivity? She might be able to tell youre holding her hand, but she can't feel your warmth.
Enter her in battle tournaments, patch her up and cheer her on. With a bit of love and a lot of luck, she can win her way to the body of her dreams!
Separate upgrade trees for both AI and body!
Customizable weapons, armour, modes of attack.
Possible alien invasions.
Your waifu might end up as an AC.

>>31982477
Armored Core: Waifu edition?

>>31982415
In a world where women have died off and all children are born male in artificial wombs, the population has taken to creating robotic womens as companions, workers and most of all... weapons.

The Weaponized Artificial Intelligence Female Units, otherwise known as WAIFUS destroy each other day by day in secret in order to move ahead the goals of various organizations. Using a secret technology created by Professor Descarte, they wield futuristic weapons bordering on magical powered by the love they have for their partner.

>>31982395
I think he's using Diablo as a comparison.

>Using a game universe in a medium without gameplay is like having Diablo without the demons.

>The Weaponized Artificial Intelligence Female Units, otherwise known as WAIFUS

>QM question
I only just started my first quest but it's OC, and I do the same thing for my pnp group. They have yet to play in a generic fantasy land so long as I GM. I have always loved world building, and have been making settings long before I even got into dice based games. I literally would just sit in school as a kid waiting for the bus and lay out the details of some space federation's foreign and domestic policies and how they would effect the space economy. Just for fun. I still remember a lot of them, like a hfy themed setting where humanity hit the singularity and turned into a networked hivemind that was worshiped by small sects of alien cults as incomprehensible star gods, or another where a group of people figured out a technology that granted them limited control over energy after an extensive selective breeding program and cybernetic augmentations, or one where all humans are vat-grown for a single purpose and natural humans are hunted as abominations that exist only to sow chaos.
First time I ran a campaign the players were fighting ancient super-robots from space with home made steam powered monster trucks and a pet chimpanzee that knew kung fu. You just can't beat an OC setting.

I admit we've been railroaded before, but that was probably the most important choice by far. OP wouldn't have railroaded a "side with the "bad guy"?" choice.

Is now a good time to run, I mean Hero quest is up, I think PPQ is running later (unless I'm wrong), so there won't be many people searching for quests at this hour, right?

>>31983832
AIN'T NOTHING IN THIS WORLD FOR FREE

Shit, Borderlands Quest?

>>31983848
No, because the OP knew you'd never take the "join the bad guy" choice.

It's like how when I want my players to do something, I put it in a mystery box or make it a joke option. Works every time.

>>31983791
/a/ (and /d/ I think) seem to treat their quests a lot differently compared to /tg/. Less game, more story. Less choice, more influence.

>>31984012
I don't see why the fuck not.

>>31983615
Why not?

>>31984038
Akun is the same way.

/tg/ has the most gamist mentality. I blame D&D and other crunchy systems.

I need your dumbest quest ideas. Hit me with all the awful ideas for quests that you'll never use.

>>31984278
Anything involving succubi

>>31983615

>>31984228
>I blame
If it's not a collective game, it shouldn't really be on /tg/. If it is a collective game, then the players should be able to actually influence the plot.

>>31984278
See: >>31983545

>>31984317
All I'm saying is that /tg/ is way too focused on stats, powergaming, and grinding social relationships like they're unlocking achievements in a fucking videogame compared to every other quest venue which is interested in telling a story.

Railroading is stupid, I agree, but /tg/'s idea of an interactive story is also stupid.

>>31984317
I agree. Quests are ones where the players choose what the MC does.

>>31984278
Strike witches in the far future with magitech power suits.
The MC is a newborn living god with brown catgirl priestesses. Very magical realm, very smut.

>>31984393
Those are two seperate ideas, I should say.

>>31984365
The "traditional games" board is more interested in playing a game than just reading a story. That sounds about right to me.

Neither format is wrong, but the more game-like format makes more sense for this place.

>>31984278

It's true.

>>31984454
They play it like a videogame though. Or the most That Guy of That Guy D&D minmaxing stories.

Once a few assholes have begun a powergaming shitfit at the expense of the story it's a pretty reliable indicator that a quest is going to crash and burn.

>>31984278
A quest where you are immediately bombarded with waifus, you can only choose one. Everyone is best girl

>>31984454
To each their own.

I think quests and the the imageboard medium are very counter-intuitive for gamey systems unless you're running, like, a civ-quest or something similar.

The story just ends up moving far too slow

>>31984492

>>31984595
Just think, semen is only about a tablespoon of protein

But shit has so much more in it. Way more of a reason to shit on them.

>>31984625
Also you win the quest by shitposting. The shit has to come from somewhere.

combat consists entirely of ironic shitposting and repeating le funny epic memes until you're waifu is strong enough to beat the invader

>>31984625
Semen is also sterile. So is urine.

Shit on the other hand will cause all sorts of health problems.

>>31984454
>>31984365
>>31984500
Honestly, I think that QMs need to be up front about this shit. Put it in the OP copypasta with archive links, basic "this quest is about ___" summary, etc., whether they're subscribing to the game or the story school of questing.

It's not fun to have people trying to "win" when the QM is trying to collaborate on a nice story, but it's equally frustrating when people try to make losing plays for the sake of the story when the QM is really going for a vaguely story-like puzzle game thing that is meant to be beaten before it beats the players into a bloody pulp.

What to do when you like a setting, but have reservations about the QM? Don't play, right?

>>31984650
The goal of the quest is to be the worst possible shitstorm?

Maybe yours is.

>>31984595
The dryads really were the best and worst part about BFQ. They could have been amazing, but the qm never really fully grasped what they had going there.

Dryad Gardener Quest would be baller as fuck. Go on an adventure to find the perfect ingredients and test them on the waifus/daughterus and make the perfect cute/fighter/magic/anythingelseyoucouldwant plantgirls. Basically be that Italian wizard dude from that book about dryads in BFQ.

>>31984710
Not that kind of sterile.

But good one, anon.

>>31984556
I expected it would be chosen, and I was not disappointed.

>>31984691
Avoid like the plague.

>>31984660

What pisses me off is when telling a story gets supplanted by adherence to a particular set of tropes. This can come from both players and QMs.

That being said, I'd still take a bunch of neckbeards arguing about character advancement or loot over people hooting about waifus and anime shit any day.

>>31984839
Amen brother.

>>31984839
>over people hooting about waifus and anime shit any day.
But /tg/ does that too

>>31984880
Usually simultaneously.

>>31984880
>Imply they aren't /a/ssholes.

>>31984814

Yeah I figured.

Shame though, I think the guy's a decent writer and he put a lot of work into a setting that seems interesting; I just have some concerns from another quest they did that, upon reading through the archives of the instant quest, do not appear to have been dealt with.

Did someone mention a rule about running on Thursdays?

Like it was the deadest day to run on?

>>31984939
It used to be, yeah.

>>31984897
Keep believing in your boogeyman, anon. /tg/ has always been obsessed with waifuing and comparing everything to weebshit.

>>31984939
Thursday US time, yes.

>>31984998
>>31984976
Is there a rule against running while other popular quests are running? Because if not I'm just going to start right now then.

>>31985052
Nah, not really.

Some say you might have trouble getting players but meh.

>>31985052
You actually want to run while the big quests are running. The retards are busy with the big ones and you get the players willing to make an argument when they're not just pissing into the wind.

You get less players, but the quality goes up dramatically because the retards from qtg are busy.

Don't tell them I told you.

>>31985052
Psh naw. Just post a link here, make sure you have Quest in your subject field, and have a moderately interesting image for your OP.

>>31985198
You're making a lot of assumes there.

>>31985141
Do you want quantity or quality for your playerbase? No, you can't have both.

>>31985226
Because it's a shit setting and Malkavians are quite possibly the worst part.

Next question.

>>31984980

It's always been that way, and I didn't mean to imply that it wasn't in my post (>>31984839). I just happen to prefer one variety of shittiness over the other.

I don't like it when a particular choice is "right" because that's the way it goes in anime. I don't know if that's the best explanation that I can offer, but I'm going to try and stop bitching until I run my own quest (one day! believe me, I'm doing lots of "work" on it!).

I'm too weeb to run OC but I guess I could when I'm done with my current one.

Alright, I think I'm ready to go for the first thread of my new quest. Just a small question before I post it up though: what's a good resolution mechanic? To clarify, although consensus is obviously the best, what is a good alternative? High roll of a d100? Or something else?

>>31987785
highest rolls i think are best because by vote mean samefagging can be rampant as hell and thats terrible.

>>31987785
No. Consensus, compromise, QM veto. Be honest and consistent.
>>31987804
hello fish

>>31987785
The best method, I found, is a roll over by labeling 100 goldfish and setting them loose in a tank with a turtle, and whichever fish gets eaten first, the number gold fish they are is the number you use.
Having players roll is overrated.

>>31987785
Dice pools where every player contributes only a single die seem best for preventing shitstorms.

>>31988070
It's fine, I like it that way. No risk of auto-saging at least.

>>31987804
>>31987871
Maybe I worded it wrong: I was looking for a method to resolve disputes among a small population of voters. Like, say there's two options available and only two votes, one for each option. I'm looking for a way to keep the story moving fast.

>>31987856
Ah, I gotcha. And for 3d100, you get three turtles! That sounds perfectly reasonable. And for GM fiat I'll just poison the whole tank.

>>31987838
Consensus is definitely the best for reaching a decision, but I was asking about situations where you can't get a consensus. Compromise seems to be my best option then, if the players will agree to my proposals. Sound good?

>>31988141
Simple, whoever posted first.

>>31988141
Flip a coin.

>>31988141
Rolling a 1d2 usually solves that problem.

>>31988155
>>31988176
>>31988212
Flipping a coin sounds best then. Now I just gotta find a good image.

Be back in four hours. (sarcasm)

>>31988093
no, it's weird.

>>31988256
This was a vote on how to handle stalemates. Looks like coin flip wins.

>>31988270
Show me the quest so that I may analyze the problem.

>>31988141
Compromise always. Not only when it's a tie, but also when there's a good write in that came too late or didn't gain traction. Do it when multiple options are favored but one is a clear winner. Do even for joke suggestions (incorporated in a joke manner, of course).

The most voted option wins and is executed as expected, everything else also gets included so long as it isn't a direct contradiction to the primary option.

>>31988270
No it isn't, it sounds nice. A small and civil player base is far better than a massive sea of grognards. You should be hiding your quest like the fucking one ring, not complaining on QTG.

>>31988270
Then what's the problem?

It means whatever quest you're talking about isn't infected yet.

So is Dead Last Ninja Quest running tonight?

Best settings for a bureaucracy/politics quest? I'm looking for broad strokes at this point (e.g., futuristic, modern day, historical, etc.). Ideally it would be OC, but I have a nagging feeling that fanfic or historical/contemporary analogues may be necessary to drum up interest.

Also, what are some of the better management quests that I can check out in the archives (if there are any)?

>>31988403
Future dystopian future. So much paperwork for everything.

Here's and idea that popped in my head at work. Ever heard of Infinity Post Humans? Dude gets turned into an A.I. and set up to control a team of robots that he can switch between anytime. I'm thinking something like that.

>>31988438

Bureaucracy? Easy, just take absolutely any setting and make it about pencil pushing.
>You are a cubicle-dwelling suit in charge of managing the assignments and activities of a group of insane murderhobos that do shady things for your mega-corp
>You are an elf in charge of the paperwork that determines who is naughty and who is nice. Men will kill for the chance to alter the contents of this list.
>You are a low ranking member of the Administratum in charge of the logistics and permits of a small sector and its garrisons. How will you deal with multiple, simultaneous xeno assaults and rebellions?
>You are an angle in charge of a small, but critical component in the great plan. Can you and your magic bowler hat prevent mankind from diking themselves in the ass?
>You are a German government worker in the height of alternate history Nazi Germany. Yes the setting is overused but you will never find a more meticulous and efficient pencil pusher in the universe. Can you keep your POW camp running efficiently and under budget?

>>31988771

It is easily adaptable, that's one of my issues. I'm actually something of a bureaucrat, so I won't have trouble making it fit into a setting. I still have a lot to work out, I don't know if I'm going to relegate the bureaucracy theme to the story and un-quantifiable stuff or try to do some kind of mechanics with it.

>>31988438
>>31988506

Thanks, I'll take that under advisement.

>>31988403
Dystopian future, always. Giant megacorps, governments, secret agencies, all that stuff.

>>31989353
The thing with cyberpunk, though, is that its bureaucracies are pluralistic and non-overlapping. Official government is weak or nonexistent, so each megacorp operates under its own bureaucracy and is affected relatively little by the others. That you really want is one giant totalitarian regime that's too big and confusing for even the dictators to get a handle on. Maybe even something set in heaven or hell.

I've heard horror stories about people trying to read my monstrosity on mobile Akun. Wouldn't recommend it.

As for GE, I consider it far more concise than Evoker, so I'd recommend it sooner than my own work. Definitely a great place to start if you're looking into Akun.

"Ensign! I need a level 3 diagnostic! Engage scanners and tell me if those legs go all the way up."

>>31989785
I've been grinding though Golden Empire myself, and it's pretty damn good.
I do have to call Face out for being a bit hypocritical, though. He made a big deal out of the MC reacting to a certain confession, but didn't seem to mind when it came to that one book. He kinda scared people off from putting forward writeins by implying they'd get screwed over if they weren't good enough, which is definitely something he'd done previously, so they just went with the premade options.
Then again he got some pretty fucking retarded votes during that part of the story so I can't really blame him if he just wanted to murder his readers for a bit.

>>31989972
He could have just, I dunno, vetoed the retarded writeins. That's a thing that QMs on Akun can do.

>>31989972
Yeah, I had to wonder why the players didn't burn that fucking book the first opportunity they got. The original owner's diary was a blaring warning to not keep it around.

>>31989991
I gotta say, I wanted to keep it around when it first showed up, but never voted on it because didn't start reading until it was on part 5. Once I got all caught up on things, I saw that there was no fucking reason to keep it around because it's almost completely worthless until you get to the sacrificing babies level of evil. Below shit-tier healing and some minor old magic affinity doesn't overcome the whole risk of getting executed for heresy at all.

>>31989972
Write-ins are a difficult thing to handle. For a quest like GE, there has to be that danger of screwing up, and I believe Face presents that danger even with the premade choices.

There's also the issue of them being often horrendously inappropriate or impulsive. With a smaller group of voters that understand well the themes of the story, write-ins can be a very useful thing to have, and have often provided cool scenarios.

But yeah, the book was a clusterfuck. Still, it was an interesting one, and remains an interesting one.
