Speaking for myself, it does add ideas for parts of the quest. I have incorporated ideas from the anons in the threads before, so long as they are make sense to add. The overall quest story-line or layout doesn't change however, as only their choices change that.

>Player Question:
There's several series I would like to see, some more dead than others. Personally, if someone made a Parasite Eve or Panzer Dragoon Quest, I would be on that shit every evening.

>Player Question 2: Electric Boogaloo
Nerv Bridge Simulator had a couple of these, but the best one had to be the assault on North Pole Angel. It started out as a biological sniper battle with an experimental weapon, and ended with the pilots tanking a city destroying angel shot with their EVA's.

It was one of Square's more experimental games before FF7, combining horror and RPG elements in a very modern fantasy setting with New York City as a backdrop.

It got two sequels, one of which is ok, and the other is so god awful that they literally couldn't put Parasite Eve on the title. The setting itself is interesting with the whole magic powers coming from hyper advanced biology rather than actual magic. I would love to see someone adapt this into a quest.

All the time. I always have deliberate "holes" in my plans for players to fill with their ideas. I'd say at some points it's almost collaborative.

Chapter 10 of my current project. Have been doing Pokemon quests since 2012, formerly on /vp/, now here. Currently in the middle of my fourth quest, which is a reinterpretation of Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon wherein the POV switches between the two MCs with each chapter. My style is lighthearted, over-the-top, and "monster-of-the-week" focused, and battles are a mix of game mechanics with the more kinetic elements you might see from the anime. I detail it better in this pastebin, also has archives for my older stuff.

https://pastebin.com/my72UJDu

The earlier quests aren't necessary to understand the current one, but I do slip in lore and reoccurring characters for veteran readers, but again, scholarly knowledge of them isn't required. I don't expect people to read 125+ chapters of material. Catch up on the current one and you're good to go, or don't and just go with the flow. I always welcome new players, so if you're interested, come aboard.

>QM Question: Does player discussion in your quest impact the future events you haven't written yet? As in will you change or add something based on your anons shooting the shit and coming up with ideas.

Do you have a 11/10 moment in a quest you remember fondly? Tell us.

When Kid died in BCQ. No quarter given for it.

Also way back when, the quest where you were a Super Computer AI fighting against God in a post-rapture world. Literally against an omnipotent and omniscient opponent with the only advantage being that the other side had to play by their own rules as well. The final roll of the quest was just fucking unbelievable and appropriate.


>Special lurker question:
When was the last time you voted in a quest? Was it a crucial vote? You should probably vote more. Your QM will appreciate it.

The QM might appreciate it, but when the rest of the players want a shit fetish quest I know that any vote that doesn't rely on the dice working out is pointless so why bother.

I just read the threads afterwards. Some QMs are better writers than they are actually running Quests resulting in broken systems or not being able to control player involvement so that they end up with players making retarded choices then bitching when it bites them in the ass.

PE needs a lot of backstage work to bring up to speed. You need a little bit of biology to dig deeper at MITOCHONDRIA, a fair bit of knowledge on shooty things, and a direction that might have to steer completely clear of 3rd Birthday.

But I wonder how strong of an impact PE would have if you don't play it as Aya Brea.

I'm running a little, simple quest based on Mecha from a game I played. It mainly relies on dice rolls added onto base stats. Along the way, you can try to recruit certain enemies as they try to invade your base. The goal is to get to the enemy base, and that's how you win! It's just a simple, likely short, quest to see some robots hit each other back and forth.

No one's stopping you from running a quest with anthro characters, hell, I recall a drawquest where everyone was an anthro character, though I can't remember what it was called, just that the MC was a cat and the entire quest took place in a modern day town.
Anons are just conditioned to view anything remotely anthro as bad wrong and to autistically shut it down even if there's nothing sexual or fetishistic about it. see >>2619651
Having anthro characters can be a nice aesthetic choice to make your worlds seem more alien, to make it more lighthearted or better suited for slapstick, it also brings up nostalgia of the lighthearted adventures we saw as kids like Duck Tales, Robin Hood, Redwall, Looney Tunes, ect.

Honestly, furry quests should be allowed on /qst/, even shitty sanic the hedgeheg or Zootopia ones, let them be and let them die from lack of players because if we ban those quests just because they feature anthro characters then by that same token we'd have to ban potentially amazing Redwall or Mouse Guard quests too, and if you think making something like pic related verboten for a quest just because it's anthro I don't know what to tell you other than you have the taste of shit and should reevaluate your life.

Just OC settings. Maybe a sci-fi western set in a humanity so far flung and with such massive communication gaps that there's no real central authority. We'd essentially be galactic hitchhikers along the shipping lanes that connect habitable systems, religious seekers, historians, brawlers, idk


>Player Question 2: Electric Boogaloo

The end of Left Beyond quest. That quest was the single best executed quest I've seen so far on here IMHO.

I’m working on something really similar.

>>2619823
Excellent points.
I think I automatically translated "allowed on 4chan" to "able to be posted on 4chan without incurring negative attention severe enough to make it not worthwhile".
I stand by my opinion that none = too many, however.

>>2619651
I realize it sounds really dumb, but I was thinking about fanfiction, and knowing there's a ton of Sonic stuff, I was wondering if anyone would actually run such a thing as a quest. I'm going to go ahead and admit that I enjoy both the concepts of classic Sonic and the Freedom Fighters of Mobius, but I can't stand the overall direction the more recent games went in (though, Generations and Mania were great).

>>2620302
The Freedom Fighter stuff basically was fanfiction that got made into a cartoon, then published through the Archie Comic series.

I think if somebody did one, it would be set in the Generations or Mania-like universes, as the success of those games and the relative failure of something like Sonic Forces makes it kind of easy to bring in fans.

On the other hand, the Classic games series don't have too much leeway in what you as a QM can do to bail yourself out of trouble, whereas with the FF stuff you literally have to be SOMINUS to fuck it up and die.

Doubtful, you have to remember that the fanfiction scene of the sonic series is populated largely by children and a bunch of CWC level autists.
Chris Chan level autists don't really become QMs, let alone the kids that lurk the boards hiding their underageb& status.
Besides that, and this is my subjective opinion, the design of the Sonic characters is just overall unappealing, the uni-eyes, the proportions, the completely naked save for gloves and shoes males, it's just bad, and I think a lot of people think the same which is why I believe it's more likely you'll find other quests of anthro franchises with more appealing designs or straight up OC before you'd find a Sonic quest.

Beheading giant robots and ice quakers.

Flinging a giant ball of flesh zombies straight over the walls of the capital and into the residential district just to open the door.

Outplanning, outgunning, and outrusing a mad scientist without a single casualty.

Watching everyone kill a gore magala expy while not only ignoring but outright avoiding the summoner that revives it.

Guessing a major mechanic of a quest in the same post that rolled the Nat 1 to trigger the mechanic.

Character art has little to do with it, you're looking at it from the wrong angle, even if you didn't use pictures, the world you'd try to show the players would still be tainted by unapealling design.
Overall aesthetics plays a part in one's desire to run a quest, and how characters are supposed to look plays a huge part in it, nothing odd about it, it's why a QM chooses to run a post apocalyptic quest, for example, despite the world being a dead cesspit of radiation and the people filthy and hobo like. It's still pleasing on an aesthetic level, it's why a QM might run a western quest, despite the arid, inhospitable frontier being unsightly and filled with rough people.
It's just not something QMs usually think about because they naturally gravitate towards what they like when writing.
Case in point >>2620543
Would you run a quest if you had to keep in mind the characters that inhabited the world you're presenting would look like that when writing them?

>>2620586
Kek, Quest is still delivering prime shitposting hooks I see. I still fondly remember when players went on a buddy cop esque demon hunt with Nicholas Cage and Steve Buscemi that culminated in a duel of the titans against pic related, good times, I really need to catch up on the sequel.

Nope.
Not seeing it.
Rarely do you see character appearances mentioned in quest pitches, for good reason.

If someone doesn't want to run a Sonic quest and chooses not to, I sincerely doubt that the character design aesthetic was the primary reason.

>>2620619
Many quests require reading previous threads to understand the context of votes, and some level of consideration when proposing plans. Civ quests are most notorious in this regard.

>>2620623
>require reading previous threads to understand the context
wait if you just wanna read quests wouldn't you want to start at the beginning anyway? it doesn't make sense to me to just start reading a quest that's been running for a while without reading any previous threads and then not voting even when you're caught up

HQQ is a funny one in that, too. Even on /tg/ there'd be times where QD would only get 5-8 responses to a post until something everyone feels is important (or funny) comes up and 50 previously uncommitted lurkers surge forth with hot opinions. So even when responses were low, you knew they were there. Just waiting for the humans to do something incredibly fucking stupid again.

I would say we need more good commander style quests, but they become harder to run over time and kill their QMs pretty often.

A New Mutant Quest has updated.

Out of curiosity, what would anons think of a Necromunda quest? It’d be based almost entirely in the original game, since that’s what I have all the magazines and rulebooks for and I have no idea what the fluff for the new game is like. Would probably start out as some street urchin, with the eventual option of joining one of the original six houses, but maybe I’d add the option to start as a Ratskin or Spyrer, not sure.

>>2620620
Do you QM or write stories?

>>2620923
Just remember that the rules as stated in TTRPGs often are not compatible with /qst/ formats such as best of three or anons making exceptionally bad ideas that result in character death.

>>2618233
>What is a quest you hope to see in the future? (Genre and series included within context)
More science fiction quests that are not mecha or space opera. Something like Blade Runner will scratch the itch nicely.

>When was the last time you voted in a quest? Was it a crucial vote? You should probably vote more. Your QM will appreciate it.
I vote all the time, even on quests I barely follow, just to give the QMs (you)s.

>>2620699
>Anything involving naval battles, or even space ship battles. Like old Privateer Quest by Machine Spirit
Naval exploration quest was great. OC, non-smut and outstanding worldbuilding. Howard best character ever.

>>2620999
Oh yeah, didn't mean I'd actually use the Necromunda rules, otherwise characters would be dying left and right. Would just be making use of the setting and fluff. I think I'd probably just do Bo3 with d100s for actions the players take, probably with the occasional bonus tacked on depending on what they're rolling for.

Is akun more lenient with update size and schedule than /qst/? What I mean, quest that don't update frequently, or whom updates are too big tend to die pretty quickly here, unless they have survived long enough to have commited players. I have not seen this happening on akun. Do quests even die of no votes in akun?
I know that akun players are shit, but at least there are players.

>>2620759
I'm working on one too.
I'll post the rules I'm cobbling together when I finish them, eventually.

The best advice I've found has been to know what you're getting into before you start.
Civ thread QMs need to accept that it's work and involved.
I personally wanted the support of a clearer rules system.
The less you have to fiat and figure out as you go, the less work you have to do at once while running.

>>2621091
As far as big updates go, I'd recommend attracting the players at the start of the first thread with whatever makes your quest cool, then starting with the large updates after the first session.
Starting a Quest with a wall of text is generally always a bad idea.
Also, accepting steady handfuls of votes is better than chasing after the prize of "more" (You)s.
If you're not enough without the prize, you'll never be enough with it.

I personally like big updates.

Hey guys I'm doing a World of Darkness Quest and I need a little point of reference. Does anyone remember the name of the quest where an anon was running Change: The Lost? I need to look into his interpretation of the storyteller system.

>>2621816

You could search for it on sup/tg/.

>>2621826

I don't know the name of it though, so nothing of note comes up. Even when I put up 'World of Darkness' in tab it doesn't really show. I'll try again to see if it works though.

/tg/ has plenty of Warhammer shit. There's no need for it here.

>What is a quest you hope to see in the future? (Genre and series included within context)
Hard to say. I have a few ideas for quests that I would like to see, but at the same time I dread the idea of a popular QM taking a tangentially similar premise and running something I'm not interested in, and I feel that I can't trust anyone but myself to run quests I want to see.
The quests I pick up generally aren't ones with premises that would have crossed my mind had I not seen them in the catalog. Guess I like to be surprised.

>>2619506
Going by the demographics on tgchan, not many I think. And for Sanic in particular you could get past the "furry" aspect by focusing on the fast and beating up robots.

>>2621859

I completely forgot what his name was.

>>2621893

The quest was years ago, around when /qst/ just began. He was around when that popular Fallout Quest with Courier Six was happening with the Enclave. Thats what I remember from the year, but the OP from that time didn't make that Fallout Quest, he was doing Changeling: The Lost.

>>2621882
Yeah thats the one I'm looking for!

I've been watching the AUX quest and it seems really interesting, it reminds me a lot of ruby, what do you guys think of it?

>>2621987

>>2622087
Nope, didn't work. I typed it in and it showed me Hobo Mutant quest instead.

>>2621987

Man, I was the one that came up with the plan to give an empty box to the true fairy that came for us, one o my ballsiest and stupidest moments

I have some tips tho, I remember I was following that quest that had naval battles and steam ships, we even found an evil red medalion or something, it was a drawquest, anybody remember that one?


also, it had a roguetrader of a mercenary house running parallel too, maybe with this info we can find it


I remember thinking at the time that one of the reasons that quest didn't have more players was because the name was convoluted and dumb, I guess I was right

>>2622248

I remember the MC was named Jerry something..
That quest was beautifully written and what got me interest in the other aspects of WoD. I was mostly only interested with Vampire the Masquerade, but I got more interested in the Changeling and Mage after.

Someone run a quest about enchanting with the sigil rune system(Banished Quests enchanting was based on it)
The new sigil system is shit though but if you run it I'll toss you the book

>>2623419
I'd rather make my own magic system that's been customized to the quest itself. The system has a lot of good stuff to borrow, but its context in the lore and relative power is what made it so potent. For a quest about enchanting I feel like you'd need several somethings more, BQ's enchanting had a lot more going on around it in the magic itself and Soma changing rules and meaning around to be more efficient.

>>2623448
Just make a quest with an enchanting system at least vaguely based on sigils so I can use my autistic knowledge of it that currently has zero use

Actually does anyone know what's up with Cindarella Quest? Vox only uses tumblr which is hot fucking garbage to navigate without reawli g through his shitposts of "OMG does Mrs mean owned by a Mr?"

Like Tumblr isn't necessarily garbage but his kind of is.

>>2623419
>>2623448
>>2623452
You guys want an idea? How about making an enchanting system even more like a language? The system Soma was meant to be like a coding language rather than a spoken language.

How do I into dialogue? I don't talk to people outside of work about work things and haven't done so in years.

>>2624813
Make a quest where every dialog occurs on an imageboard, then just write there as you write here.

>>2624813
Go to the library, or a cafe or ride the bus
Wear headphones so it looks like you are listening to something
Listen to people around you talk and take note of it.

Whatever happened to the SpookyG/Ghost Thread?

>>2624813
Read. Read a lot. Read stories that are heavy on character interaction. Dialog is one of those things that you just have to pick up through exposure, and if you're not exposed to a lot of it in real life then you need to compensate by supplementing your dialogue intake with artificial injections.

Also try reading the scripts of plays, aloud to yourself if possible. Plays tend to feature characters talking a lot more than most books, so it can help you develop an ear for dialogue. Then try practicing by writing stories in a script format. Then read the story back to yourself. Then do it again. And again. And again.

What quest, old or new, has a really good story and good writing?

>>2624879
Homeless Mutant Quest. Characters, romance, and plot all in one. It was so good A New Mutant Quest ripped off its format and in someways its premise.

>>2624879
Why would i read any quest if i didn't think it had good story and writing?

>>2624879
Valen Quest. It's truly exceptional for character development and worldbuilding alone. Not just the MC but all the characters in it, even the minor ones, have their own fleshed out roles.

>>2624879
Any of Moloch's quests

>>2624895
Waifus.

Where can I read more about [Skirmish] type of quests like this >>2604283 one?
I played one way back for a bit and want to know the format more and check out few examples.

>>2624949
I don't think you can read _about_ them anywhere. But for more examples you can check out >>2596515б as well search suptg.

Or I can try to answer your questions I suppose.

>>2624950
Look at >>2596518 , there are many little things that seem important but aren't explained.
There is no legend that would let you understand what half of those symbols mean, its implied you should already know this shit like a back of your hand, even when its the very first thread.
And the fact that they are drawn while very cute and nice-looking rises an additional problem - is this symbol the same as that one just drawn a bit differently or does it mean something completely different?

I was hoping those types of quests are somewhat bound by similar and already established rules, given most of those I seen act as you are supposed to already know how mechanics work before joining in and don't go into details.

>>2624963
Oh. That.
I'll be frank: I'm playing this skirmish and I had (and sometimes still have) all the same issues.
This particular GM is notorious for having poorly explained rules, many of which rely on knowledge of his past games, as well as not remembering his own rules and changing rules without writing it down anywhere. You pretty much have to ask other players in the thread or in Discord.
That his games have insanely high player count despite all that speaks volumes to how awesome they are.

I can give you a rundown of that rulesheet you linked, if you wish.

>>2624973
If you're not busy, sure.
Hopefully it would be enough for me to make a char and check out for myself just how awesome this GM and that game of his really is.

>>2624989
Just give me some time to get home. Probably an hour or so.

I'm sorry for being dissapointing and being unable to write anything of quality. Goodbye

>Another rival dead

>>2624749
It's funny you mention that, that's literally the human system of magic in my setting for a custom pnp game. Only written though, humans were made to forgot how to speak it.

I wouldn't recommend anyone putting that much effort in unless they're very sure its gonna get use, though. Making magic a language with its own conventions and rules is difficult, static or not. It has the better quarter of challenges in making an actual language while having balance considerations based within accessory developments that make sense for the setting as a whole. You can take inspiration from ancient or foreign language rules, but taking them wholesale also gives you those problems in your language, and you have to choose which bugs/features you think are best. Retranslating structural rules to be more suited to your intent and borrowing conventions to simplify into a dynamic system of magic takes a metric fuckton of no life. If someone doesn't enjoy languages or making systems in general they really shouldn't do it just for the sake of having it.

There's also the actual writing part, if you want to make it so players can see the language itself and you're not just describing it, hoping they get it. It's a bigger thing in pnp, but for an imageboard if you're telling me you made a language for your magic system and the character knows what it is and you also describe the letter parts or the sounds of it you should be able to write it out and show the parts the character knows and how they think it works. That's at the least. Reasoning being, that was the monumentally great thing about the Sigil system and others like it. You could see it. After seeing enough of it, you could just photoshop up something that worked.

If someone doesn't want to do all that, they can still have it in their quest. If you trust your system improvisation skills, just fucking cheat. Steal any parts of systems that work well enough together that you like and slap some symbols on its ass and go. It only has to look and feel functionally complete from the player perspective. To have depth, just make the character and players not have perfect knowledge. Done. There's also many more ways to make language based magic than there are magic systems in existence, so it's not like you're limited in path either.
You just have to be a good bullshitter.

Everyone is my rival memes aside what quest lad?

>>2624989
Let's do this.
First, some basics:
-Each player controls one character
-Joining the game is as simple as posting a character sheet and >deploy
-Each player can make 2 acts (actions) per turn
-An act could be moving, attacking, changing weapons, interacting with objects
-Movement is in cardinal directions only, but attack ranges also count diagonally
-There are also tap acts, which are like free actions
-Taps are used to use some active abilities, reminding of passive abilities, looting and other stuff
-Some actions are once-taps, which are taps that are usable once per turn
-To attack, you roll 1d100. On less than 50 you deal only half damage, you can also miss altogether on a very low roll or deal more damage on a high one.
-All actions are posted in greentext. It's customary to enclose skill names in [square brackets] and preface tap actions with a -dash.
-Each post also contains the character's stat sheet. Since it can grow rather big, by convention people only post their full charsheet once per thread then just link to it.

>>2625113
Now to the explanation of pic related. Let's look at the Jaeger class:
A: jaeger's base stats and the formulas for the derived stats. From the top:
-HP equals VIT multiplied by the racial modifier
-Damage is STR x weapon damage
-Armor and magical defense = RES x def, where def is 1 + equipment bonus. Your rear armor is halved. Some items also give separate front armor.
-Magical power = INT x focus bonus. Irrelevant for jaegers
-Movement range = SPD / 2 + 1. All fractions round up.
-SP = PER x racial mod. SP is spent on some skills.
-Vision range = PER x lighting modifier (depends on time of day)

B: available races and their modifiers. For example, humans get +1 movement range, while kerbolds (dogmen) get +1 STR and SPD
C: starting armor
D: starting weapon options. The bow has range of STR x 2 + PER and damage of PER x 2 + arrow modifier. The daggers have damage of STR x 5 + 5 and two weapon artes, which are skills tied to items. In this case [Adroit Fighting] allows you to deal damage with SPD instead of STR, and [Knife Throw] allows you to throw the dagger at range = STR. I know this only because I asked in Discord.
H: full starting stats for each race, accounting for race and gear modifiers.
E: jaeger gear proficiences. Better confirm these in the thread.
G: class ability. You have it as long as jaeger is your main class
F: class skills. You get one on start and can buy more with insight. Most have two ranks. Your class level is the number of class skills you have. You keep them even if you change classes.
A minor note: Lv4 skills are actually available starting with Lv5, since you gain a level after you get a skill, not vice versa.
J: how this class earns insight. Insight is your XP and each point allows you to buy a rank in class skill, or learn an arte from an item you used this mission, or learn a skill from a scroll, etc.
There is another advancement currency called merits. You gain merits for notable deeds in the mission and can use it to raise stats or gain a secondary class.
You can only earn 1 insight and 1 merit per game day.

General notes:
-Melee classes generally suck because they have to spend acts to get to the enemy.
-Magic classes are OP, but have the most rules and rulings that constantly change in an effort to nerf them and are complex AF.
-The easiest to level up are sworn and longcoats (just don't die), after them it's shrine maiden/keeper (just perform [Last Rites] on a corpse).
-Teamwork is essential, but hard to achieve.

>>2624989
There's also a new skirmish with better formatted rules: >>2625081

>>2625033
Nah, you're too small time to be my rival

>>2625129
>The daggers have damage of STR x 5 + 5
Could you explain this bit?
Damage dealt is STR * damage modifier.
Daggers have x2 damage modifier per hand and +5 on top of that, so shouldn't it be STR * 2 + 5 resulting in(for humans) 4*2 +5=8+5=13 damage dealt per hand(so you attack two times, once for each hand)? What does 'pot' next to +5 actually mean?

I also made an account with WorldAnvil just to see how it was and made a quick article for it. It will probably be replacing the ask.fm and the wiki as the repository for setting info, since it looks like it has built in methods of communication as well as being much more easy to edit and fill out than the wiki, but apart from the one article I made to test it out I'm mostly just working on getting things back into motion first, and then I'll probably start filling that out over time later.

I'm thinking about starting a quest. I haven't browsed this board much since it's creation, I mostly played around on /tg/ back in the day. But kinda wanted to get back into it since I remember always having a great time.

I've settled on a few different possible topics, thought I'd see which one (if any) had any interest.

I'm probably garbage since it's been so long, and even back in the day I was slow to respond since I like to write a bunch and also get distracted easily while I'm writing.

ANYWAY

Which of the following quests have some appeal to you?

Mage Quest
- Start as a fledging talented mage and try to become a god / goddess of the arcane

Fantasy Mercenary Quest
- Start with a small group of friends, try to grow your merc company into a force to be reckoned with.

Mass Quest
- Start as a small blob of flesh and really just kinda go any way with it. Absorb other flesh to gain their flesh related abilities or just as pure mass to use for other purposes.

Are any of these appealing / Over done? Like I said I've been absent for forever, probably have no business running a quest but hey, here I am.

>>2628480
Mass quest, stay away from fantasy themes

>>2628483
Why's that? They super overdone? Or just boring and not too interesting?

>>2628490
I don't want any competition

>>2628493
Heh, well, I've been out of the game for a while. I'm sure I'd only serve to make you look better by comparison.

>>2628480
Mage Quest: I have an explicit love of Mages and getting gud. You got a magic system worked out for this or something?

>>2628512
If I do the mage quest, the magic will be pretty touch and go. Magic is mostly elemental based. Y'know, fire, water, wind, earth, with light and dark thrown in as well. You'd be able to choose 3 of them to be at a beginner level in, or 1 of them to be specialized in. (Like, you can be pretty fucking solid with fire, but not have anything else going for ya, or can have a wide variety of weaker magics to go on)

It's probably best to pick the 3 magics over the one, since it'll be more expensive to pick up new fields of magic later, but not so much so that it's unmanageable.

>>2628480
Mage or Merc Quest.
Why not put them together? Mass quest sounds like it would run into problems early on, most of them being "What do?". But as long as you have cute girls you should be fine.

>>2628560
If Magic is going to be touch and go, but you're going to have 5 options, might I suggest not having any actual formal spells as such but instead have levels in the different elements count as die to roll against a DC? Like each level gives you another die to roll, mixing elements costs vefore rolling 1 die for simple spells and increases with difficulty.

So a flame spell with 3 levels in Fire would give 3 die to roll with 1 die needing to pass the DC for a simple spell, 2 for a spell + effect, 3 for a complex effect, etc. Extra die after 3rs level could be spent to try and increase strength or duration etc.

Whereas a combination spell that used say light and water to create an illusion clone would require 3 water die (summon water, shape water, manipulate water movement) and 2 light die (create light, manipulate as an image) for the spell itself but also require an extra die from either the water element or light element to represent the concentration needed to double cast elements.

I would probably allow for players to "burn" extra die for the session to reroll their lowest roll to make unused levels picked earlier more useful.

That way players magic investments stay relevant while providing benefit for both specialization or generalization of skills in different magical ability while allowing /qst/ format of multiple people rolling.

>>2628047
The premise is good, myths and legends fighting each other, however the franchise panders too heavily to weebs.

>>2628480
>I'm probably garbage since it's been so long, and even back in the day I was slow to respond since I like to write a bunch and also get distracted easily while I'm writing.
Thats fine, /qst/ is a slow board
>Mage quest
Let me guess, another quest where you start as a mage and try to become an all powerful deity.
>Fantasy Mercenary Quest
Playing as a sellsword is good, remember to flesh out contractors.
>Mass Quest
Seems boring if we are just growing for our biological need to grow, maybe at some point we gain consciousness.

>>2628729
The idea was more "attempt to cast a spell (provided it exists in a magical domain you are proficient in)

Some spells are harder, some situations add difficulty, and some stuff is just outright more complex. Multi-tiered rolls isn't an idea I'd formed already, but I didn't like, have a spell list preformed or anything either.

So, say you wanted to use something like a steam jet attack.

roll 1 die for fire (low dc since it's only boiling the water) and 1 for water (which is the *real* dc check, since this is the directional attack where the complexity lies.) HIgher skill with water in this case can help lower the DC depending on the what you're trying to do, but I'm not going to make you roll multiple water dice unless you're trying to do several different things with one water based spell casting roll.

Does that make sense?

Like, a roll requiring multiple water rolls would be like "Shoot a water bullet at them, and then freeze the bullet on impact"

So you'd roll once for the water shot, and once for the freezing action.

Also, how do you read 5 options out of

Water
Fire
Air
Earth
Light
Dark


>>2628766
>>Mass Quest
>Seems boring if we are just growing for our biological need to grow, maybe at some point we gain consciousness.

I didn't really specify, but you start with some low level intelligence, and ramp it up as you gain power.

Depending on the direction the quest goes, I was thinking it'd wind up as you sort of being the over brain for your fleshy conquest. Slowly infesting areas and gaining new biological intelligences, allowing you to build up a host of varied minions for the domination of the modern world.

You're basically right about mage quest, and the merc quest is something that would be kinda difficult for me to run, but ultimately rewarding just based on the amount of unique characters I'd have to plan in order for the ranks to swell properly. If I do that one, I'm going to try not to just fill out the ranks with >Generic archer x 40< or whatever. I want it to be more a coalition of champions who can each be off doing their own things when they need to be.

Already stole this shit, in fact in honour of stealing it I worked theft into the quest itself.

Don't talk, do.

Come play. Or take it over maybe. Let's throw shit at the wall and see what sticks.

Haha well, since I wasn't sure whether I was going to do that one or the mass quest, I'll just run the mass quest and play in yours as well. Thanks for making the decision easier for me lmao.

I ask of you: What is your preferred method of getting into the proper mood for writing?

>>2629092
>We could use more players in Sword and Sorcery quest.
So tell me then; What is it about, the title aside? What may a reader see? What can they experience? What mood does the story convey and how would you describe the atmosphere between players and storyteller?

>>2628766
>>2628480
>Mage quest
It'll be incredibly important to provide a measure of flexibility in casting. Players love to experiment and exploit.

Lacking that, a collect-a-thon for artefacts would work.

>Mass Quest
...you don't want that. Trust me. It tends to draw A Certain Crowd, shall we say.
>Fantasy Mercenary Quest
There's been a couple, few successful. It really depends on how well you trust yourself in writing action AND character interactions AND how well you can deal with players siding with the last faction you expect them.


Oh yes.

Hey guys! Back from a long absence and willing to get back into QM'ing now that life is being more gentle to me. I have the notes from a few past quests and am more than willing to resurrect them if you guys are amenable.

>Silent Stars:Space Piracy and a dash of horror and catgirls

>Warlord Quest (yes this was me). Butcher tribals and religious zealots.

>Shellstorm: Pilot a mechanized walker and fight in Alt-past WW2

>Gunslinger Quest: Journey the wasteland and deal with its various inhabitants.

Which do you guys want back?

36 hours of consciousness.

>>2628225
dunno if mine qualifies but I am going for mysteries, its strictly low fantasy which lends itself better to the thematic.

Honestly this is my first quest, and the first two threads have some grammar issues. Regardless, I'd recommend it.

>>2629660

Alright /qtg/, I have a proposition for you. I have the leisure to run a quest, on which I have been ruminating about for some time. The problem is that I don't know which you guys would prefer:

>"Blade Quest" set in a relatively low-magic, dark fantasy world where the main character is a sentient mystical weapon that must cooperate with it's wielder. (Or not). Unique combat mechanics have been developed and tested for this one to do it justice.

>"Quarantine Quest" where the main character's fictional, modern-day hometown has suffered from a nuclear fallout. Missing the civilian evacuation has lead to being locked inside the city with the remaining denizens, which have begun to mutate.

Both sounded appealing to me at least, but some feedback would help so my efforts can be focused to optimize the experience. There is still much work to be done and a consensus would be conducive to getting one of these ideas off the board and onto the table, so to speak.

>>2629576
Here's to hoping it doesn't, but oh well if it does. I'll just wait for them to shoot themselves in the foot and start one of the other ideas I had ruminating.

>>2629773
Thanks for the positive reinforcement, I hope it continues to.

Unique IPs are just a SMALL indicator of questiness. You need to consider:
>OP to Player reply ratio.
>Average amount of replies between OP's updates.
>Player image post ratio.
>Lifetime fan art count.
>Suptg upboats.
>QTG metions.
>And how many days between thread start and the threads end.

>>2629775
I tried that once. Pretty sure I might have accidentally written blatant fetish quest in the aftermath.

>>2630199

A New Mutant Quest has updated....again.

>OP to Player reply ratio.
I disagree, QMs have different styles.
>Average amount of replies between OP's updates.
Good indicator, pretty much always proportional to unique IP count anyway
>Player image post ratio.
Meaningless
>Lifetime fan art count.
Dictated by if you have a drawfag reader or not. Bad indicator of anything.
>Suptg upboats.
Only shows oldfag reader count
>QTG mentions.
I disagree, its basically people just jerking off the same 3 quests over and over. People shat on fatoshi quest yet that dude got 30 readers. I would honestly say most people don't even use /qtg/
>And how many days between thread start and the threads end.
I dont understand what this indicates.

>>2630462
>People shat on fatoshi quest yet that dude got 30 readers.
>Fanfic quest about recently popular anime gets large playerbase

>>2630465
im just saying qtg is not a good indicator of anything. If 1 more guy starts sucking off crusty and ignoring all the great quests in the catalog im going to blow my brains out.

>>2630470
I didn't even know this general existed until the very end of my last quest.

>>2630470
Lots of them aren't that good. People like HMQ, so they recommend it. It's why a lot of the recommended quests are the same. Whereas in the catalog quests there's, what Lamplighter that you might look at and think of as a top tier quest. Can't see any others.

It doesn't mean they're fellating the QM, it just means they like the work. Especially when the guy wants it to binge read.

>>2630474
>Lots of them aren't that good.

What did he mean by this?

As an aside, I'm sure I speak for more than a few people when I get irritated that people recommend dried up old shit instead of at least fresh stinky wet shit. I swear to god, once I asked for reccs of currently running quests and people STILL recommended the same ancient quests that died around the same time as Ramses the fucking Second kicked the bucket. Fuck's sake, if you can't think of a newer quest to recommend that's at least not been dead for YEARS, why are you even still here? Clearly every reason you had to stay is long gone.

>hey man you're looking pretty green

Damn straight, I could lie down on the lawn right now and nobody would ever see me.

>>2630527
It doesn't mean that I don't read them, It just means that I don't think they're as good. Easy.

>>2630537
So you read them, but instead of directing people towards them so that they might get better from more feedback, you point people towards old and dead/finished things first? On a board where the key feature is player interaction, the first place to point is a place where no more interaction can be had? No development can take place, nobody discusses things really other than shilling for them?

Instead of these ones that are so not as good that they can be collectively dismissed in one fell swoop, such is their mediocrity.

Do I have that right? Because I suppose I can't argue with that.

>>2630569
No, I just assume that anyone posting a recommendation thread is going to have looked at the things already available in the catalog. If something is an absolute standout, sure, I'll put it in. But nothing there is enough that I'm going to say "Hey, I like these, but I also really like this, so if you haven't also checked it out, or given it a chance but didn't like it, maybe check it out again".

>>2630527
I recommend new AND old shit though.

Quest pitch:
>You're part of a privateer crew on-board a ship with your brother as the captain.
>You were recruited alongside a few other ships like yours to explore a new planet found by the edge of known space - a place where a lot of ships have gone missing as of late.
>Upon arriving to the planet and getting close to the surface, every single privateer ship lose all their powers and crash onto the surface.
>Bruised, but alive, you intend to find your brother who was last seen disappearing down below the surface.
>delve deeper and deeper into the planet.
>Strapping relics and strange creatures onto your body to use as weapons to survive, gradually turning into something inhuman to find and save your brother.
>Find the corpses and survivors of the other crashed privateer ships. Some sane, and other insane. And some changed forevermore.
>Everything is hostile.

Go for it. I'd probably play. Not least of all because there's - presumably - a logical end point in getting off-planet.

What can you tell me about the setting?
>>2630569
>but instead of directing people towards them so that they might get better from more feedback, you point people towards old and dead/finished things first?
The board's so slow that honestly makes more sense since 70% of /qst/'s living quests are going to exist on the catalogue at any given time.

>>2630023

Pfff- Won't take long, I wager. Quest players tend to go for a Chairman Yang run given the opportunity.

Blade Quest, hands down (pun unintended).
>>2629589
I don't play fanfic anymore (I think the last one I followed was Makai Knight and that died as all of JQOP's non-Joker side projects tend to) but this might just work.

Valid assumption.
Terrible conclusion.
Just terrible.

>Waitress asks restaurant patron if they're ready to order
>Patron asks the waitress what she'd recommend
>Waitress says that they used to serve a really amazing dish that she absolutely loved that they don't serve anymore but the patron could find elsewhere
>Patron asks why she didn't recommend something the restaurant currently serves from the menu
>Waitress says she assumed that the patron already looked at the things already available in the menu

Maybe they looked and found the selection too dense.
Maybe they like fantasy, sci-fi, and anime and can't decide where to start.
Maybe there are 6 or 8 fantasy adventure quests being updated and they don't have the free time to read all of them to gauge them themselves.
Maybe they're worried they might have missed a gem in the mix.
Maybe they just want to hear your opinion

Yeah, they should check the catalog before asking.
But then, they can ask about it.

Hey guys, new QM here, I'm running a quest.

>>2630892
>Not least of all because there's - presumably - a logical end point in getting off-planet.
If you're saying that a quest with a logical endpoint, or definite end goal, is a turn off, I don't understand.
I understand the appeal of open quests, but quests with defined ends provide some promise of eventual closure or finality.
Quests with no end in sight ever only promise that the quest will die when the QM tires of it, however long that takes. And when it dies, it will not truly end, just simply stop. This will leave the players unsatisfied and pining for its return or sequel.

Plus, any quest that reaches the end point with plenty of gas in the tank can just change the ending, and add a new chapter.

>>2630727
Good premise.
Solid potential.

As presented here, it seems like there's a chunk of narrative to get through before you get to the heart of it.
Be mindful of that and keep the start of the journey as engaging and interactive as the quest will be or you'll turn off some players.
If you start off on rails, which is understandable, hide them well.

Stuff like this has been done before both on /tg/ and tgchan. Most of the time it gets dropped/abandoned for some reason and not because it's unpopular.
