I haven't run anything in something like five years but my longest quest had almost zero "action" so I guess I prefer character and dialogue.

When I was active in the /tg/ days a few dozen. Only returned to the board about three months ago so about fifteen since. Not counting ones instantly abandoned that I dabbled a post into.

GuP Quest:
QM is a cool guy, the mechanics are fun with all that research done and generally just reminds me of those questing days back in /tg/. Kind of lacking in prose, as these sort of quests go

VC: Pacific Theater
Explores the part of the world that the original series did not bother going to. The three main characters are written in a way that fleshes them out, and the QMs seem very dedicated to polishing their craft. The story however goes at a snail's place because of that.

Thanks pal.

>>4242781
If this were true, I think the only logical conclusion is that the community of players on Sufficient Velocity necessarily value elements that are generally unpopular here. And since that encompasses a tremendously wide variety of elements, that conclusion would lead to the correlation that the Sufficient Velocity community is extremely welcoming of a tremendously wide variety of elements in their quests. Yet, everything I have heard about the community, a tiny portion of which has been objectively confirmed, indicates exactly otherwise.
Therefore, I am forced to conclude that you are, in fact, entirely full of shit.

The phrase "chances are it might do well" would have been sufficient (heh) while still being a shill, but you got overzealous and your hyperbole has cost you all credibility.

don't forget to r8 the current drawquests

>>4242533
> QM question
Action scenes are much easier for me to describe. My dialogue always gets bloated and I have to trim it down. Also I find it difficult to write different kinds of characters dialogue. At least I know what I have to work on!

>Player question

>>4242912
For non-draw quests, does anybody photoshop hints and clues into the pictures that the post along with story updates?

Do players like that sort of thing, or should I stop wasting my time planning on doing so and just grab vaguely relevant pictures?

Dialogue is hardest for me to write, because it's easier to think of action scenes in terms of cause/effect.

>Maybe played 3-5 quests
Currently playing Tintin's Bizarre adventure-- fun quest overall.

There were two finished quests that I've really enjoyed. One was about a shark girl, never got archived. The other was about a woman made of gum. QM quit but it was fun while it lasted.

I'm more interested in QMing my current quest rather than playing

>>4242966

That's gay and time consuming but if you feel like doing it go for it, players will enjoy and will expect more of it in the future.

Also stuff that wasn't clues and just happened to be there in vaguely relevant pictures you grabbed online will also probably be seen as clues, so there is that. Maybe you can roll with the punches and come up with interesting developments for the players ideas on the fly. That's what QMing is all about right?

>>4242533

QM question
> I barely write dialogues, I mostly write combat, when I can I come up with reasons to just summarize the important points of a discussion instead of writing the whole thing. I'm in it for the strategic planning and the action I guess.

Action is taxing. Dialogue is faster, easier, and more fun (for me). I like writing jokes in.

>Player Question
Played? Very few, and none at the moment-- they seem to all die on me. Read? 20 or so. inb4 lurker: no, I just used the archive for years. Couldn't vote if I wanted to.

>>4242966
I don't photoshop hints in, but there's symbolic meaning in some of the photos I use. You may want to inform the playerbase that you're doing this, as if I read a random quest I wouldn't necessarily look at the photos at all, let alone closely enough to see hints.

>>4242912
These are all the same ones from last thread, and you already got a full review. What more do you want?

>>4242533
>QM question
Action, without a doubt. I feel like I often fail at giving characters highly distinct voices, and it bothers me immensely. Violence is much less stressful. Mind you, nothing is as satisfying to me as writing some good dialogue.

>Player question
Fuck me, 100? There's a guess. I've been questing for five years now and honestly can't remember every quest I've played.

What's the consensus on continuing a quest after a several month long (announced) hiatus? Continue, start over, or start a brand new quest?

>>4243044
*unannounced

>>4242912
Anything with Pimp Lord Howie in it gets an 888/10 for me.

>>4243044
Plenty have done it and picked up where they left off. It depends on how far into the story you were. If your players were deep in it for a few months and you pull it out from under them with a reroll, then enjoy the saltfest.

>>4243044
Start over or brand new unless you had a seriously large playerbase

>>4243044
Try continuing and see if anyone cares enough to come back.

>>4243044
Continue where you left off. If people remember and play then good. If not you can always start something new.

Some conflicting opinions here...

To clarify the quest in question, it was Elf Lord Quest: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive/3966654/

It was only run for a month or so total.

>>4243101
Start a new quest then. There wasn't that many players.

>>4243101
I continued a quest I left standing for like 8 months, I think you're still in time.

>>4243101
Dammit, I got briefly excited. Thought you were the QM of Civlet Quest: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive/3143003/
Why do all the good civs die? Looking at you, Dark Lord.

That being said, if you're attached to the setting, make another thread and see how it goes. Worst case, nobody bites and you make another one.

>>4243225
>Looks at the two quests on multimonth hiatus I follow

I am cursed.

Jannies are nannies, they keep deleting harmless comments in the /qtg/ all the goddamn time.

>>4243101

1 month isn't a lot of time, you should probably just start over unless you're heavily invested in the narrative choices already made

If your players vote to rape someone do you write a lewd pastebin describing it, do you veto the option or do you do something else?

>>4243289
Do you want to encourage your players to rape people? Smut pastebin. Do you not want to encourage it? Veto the vote.

>>4243289
Is the raping in character? Is it a write in or a choice? If it's out of character then it would be vetoed just like voting to take your pants off, do a handstand, and shit all over yourself would be.

Are quests on the board like dungeons and dragons?

>>4243972
In what way?
Being like Dungeons and Dragons could mean any number of things. Theme? Setting? Mechanics?

Quest about a porn actress making it into Hollywood.

You must scheme to meet the right producers, get invited to the right parties, invest your time and money in acting classes and workshops that may or may not give any results, and perhaps even fuck some film directors and other people to get good roles and favors in the industry, all the while fighting the stigma from other actors from being a former porn actress - or maybe not so former, if you run out of money you might resort to doing another interracial gangbang movie to raise some quick cash...

>>4243225

I remember that civ, the concept is interesting, to be an underling of a major faction and have obligations towards it is an unusual take

What you guys have to realize is that questing is more than just roleplaying, it is a form of artistic expression, that's why we preserve our quality quests for posterity. In centuries to come sages will look back at questing as one of the distinctive art forms of our time and the most superb ones will be required reading by school children.

>>4244021
God help us all then.

>>4243972

Is posting about your quest in the qtg worth it? Does it bring in players or get you helpful feedback?

>>4244047

No. But do it anyway.

>>4244052

why? If it serves no purpose why do it?

>>4244059
So we can at least make fun of it, obviously. Post your quest feggit

>>4244059

Because you wanna do it, that's why you asked in the first place. Maybe someone will make a review of your quest. Maybe someone who didn't get interested in it looking at the catalog will like it reading about it here. Probably won't happen, that's why I said no. But could happen, you know.

>>4244066
>>4244059

Also if it is shit we can laugh at it, yeah.

>>4244047
>Does it bring in players or get you helpful feedback?
Yes. Actually.
But you certainly can't count on it happening.
More like winning a church raffle than winning the lottery.

You gotta support the efforts of all the brave men and women who are building the new /qst/ a world in which all people no matter their paraphilias are welcome into questing and feel represented and portrayed in a positive light through the use of this liberating tool of freedom fighting the pastebin to escape the clutches of the oppressive nazi moderation which seeks to curb and eliminate the beautiful diversity which is our true strength.

Trying to recreate dnd is not advised.

How few is too few players to simply continue running a quest? I think I fucked up mine due to the character creation being shit, should have just thrown them into the world properly instead.

I don't really intend to give up either though, as some of my favourite archived quests had fuck all interest in the beginning. Still, I'm excited to run and having few voters are definitely slowing things down if I bother waiting for more than 3. Hell, sometimes more than 2.

>>4244566
>How few is too few players to simply continue running a quest?

It depends entirely on why you want to run a quest in the first place.

Seriously.

>>4244607
Honestly? To tell a story based off of the choices of others. Don't really want much more than that. At the same time feels like I should try to get others involved and what have you.

Feels like half of it is being a dumbshit and not creating proper scheduling, though. When the thread ends the next one will be.

>>4243225

>>4244614
>To tell a story based off of the choices of others. Don't really want much more than that.
Then it boils down to which idea compels you more.
What do you think will happen after the starting scenario resolves? What about after that? Will you want to keep writing about that?

Many QMs come up with a beginning scenario they find interesting but once they move past it, they lose interest or don't know where to go. Figure out which idea is more likely to generate continued generate that are interesting for you to write about.

>Feels like half of it is being a dumbshit and not creating proper scheduling, though. When the thread ends the next one will be.
Oh yeah.
Historically, consistency and reliability is king.

>>4244614
I feel like we really can't answer the question without knowledge of the original setting or where you plan to make your fanfiction about. The best you can get is simply "what compels you more?" which I know can be unhelpful when you don't really know that answer.

>4244733

If anything, I am the most confident about the primary arc that comes after. But I get what you mean, in terms of longevity this shit had been in development for such an autisticly long time. If this can get off the ground and find it's pacing, I am kinda confident it can keep going for far while.

QMs, when do you make a new thread? When yours goes over the bump limit? Before that?

>>4245057

Page 8 at least

>>4245057
Usually a week after the last one falls off the board. Basing off of bump limit is dumb, even after it passes you usually have a week or more of life from the thread, if not two weeks. The only reason you'd make a new thread before that is if you hit image limit, which is unlikely.

As someone who has worked on a final, closing update for an active quest near the top of page 10 and had it suddenly bumped off the catalog by a rush of new quests, I can honestly say that my first thought wasn't "You bastards!" it was "Welp, what did I expect, it was on fucking page 10."

Have you ever coomed to a quest character?

>>4242966
The QM for Body Horror Quest will sometimes put hints in filenames. One of his favorite tricks is to put subliminal psychic communication in the filename, hiding it behind the name's length so that it only shows up when you hover over it. That's made for a few trippy moments when we've noticed it, looked back, and realized that it had been going on for a while. Sometimes it's been creepy, sometimes it's been darkly humorous.

What's the civ quest you enjoyed most, /qtg/? Jyoti's Ghouls? Civlet? Cyclops? Ogres?

How essential do you believe being a drawfag is to a quest? Is the edge in being able to produce okay to good art so powerful that it inherently makes a quest better than one that may have slightly better writing? Do you feel more drawn to or attached to quests that are ran by drawfags? Or do you really not give a shit and hold other aspects as far more important?

>>4246960
>How essential do you believe being a drawfag is to a quest?


Not at all...? Art enhances a quest undoubtedly but it doesn't need to be drawn by hand by you...

>>4246960
Although I personally only pay attention to draw quests I wouldn't consider it "essential", it looks like there are more text quests dominating the top end of the catalog

>>4246948

I made something so check it out.

>>4246960
>How essential do you believe being a drawfag is to a quest
Not at all.
The OP image matters when drawing in new players, but all other imagery is just extra frosting on the cake.

>Is the edge in being able to produce okay to good art so powerful that it inherently makes a quest better than one that may have slightly better writing?
No. But there is a slight edge in that quality OC art is more instantly absorbed than quality writing. Quality writing has a harder time grabbing anons from the catalog.

>Do you feel more drawn to or attached to quests that are ran by drawfags?
Yes.
That might seem hypocritical compared to what I said previously, but it's just my personal, subjective position that I can't really defend or explain.
Maybe I'm subconsciously just still waiting for Drew to return.

>Or do you really not give a shit and hold other aspects as far more important?
Subject matter and execution are by far the most important to me.
For example, Skeleton Island Thing seems solid, but it's not my bag and I'd rather play a text-only quest that rings my chimes.

Not at all. Unless, of course, you run a drawquest. They're different.

>Inherently Better
I'd say no, but being capable of producing art will definitely lift two quests with comparable-quality prose imo.

I think that I'm attached to quests which can produce more than one image of the protag and main characters. Being a drawfag obviously facilitates this.

Of course, being a competent writer whose subject material isn't autistic is most important.

civ games have an appearance of a low effort requirement to run but you actually have to do some serious book keeping and unless you establish some very clear boundaries early on complexity will just escalate until things are completely unmanageable

What makes a QM whore themselves out to SB/SV?
Are they such sluts for having their dick sucked that they have no integrity?

>>4247282
Motherfucker are you shit-talking Blorp? Show me your quest. Show me your stuff. Come on.

>>4247274
Or how about. You start a promising CIV and then drop it on the first thread when all the players are excited for it.
ahahahahahaha

>>4247296
Fuck off I don't even know who you are, Blorp.
Now stop samefagging to advertise your trash SV quest and fuck off.

>>4247304
Where's your quest? Come on slut put your dick on the table.

>>4247296
Is that where Blorp went?

so I wanna run a quest first mistake where you're a mad scientist transforming kidnapped little girls into monsters/pets for various elite clientele
with the focus being on the mcs egomaniac goals as they branch deeper into mad science in an "original" world
since I'll have fun no matter what, how do I make it not fetishy?

all attempts to make a generic civ running guide throughout the years have failed even though it should be relatively simple (here be your civ, here be some enemy civs, here be random creatures to meet and places to explore, here be random events that happen to your civ over time, map may or may not be necessary, have fun)

It probably would have to focus more on the note taking aspects of the civ game than most guides that I've seen over the years but that's also a delicate question

It is a subject matter that is not much discussed, most QMs do not explicitly describe how they keep notes because the notes are just for themselves and much of it isn't even formalized, they just jot down a few words that will make them remember a concept and that's it

Still it would be interesting to know how QMs handle their notes, specially in longer quests where you need to keep track of hundreds of characters, monsters, places and civilizations which in theory would be interacting with each other but obviously aren't because QM can't keep track of a billion interactions per turn since he isn't a computer so it would be interesting to see what kind of abstractions QMs come up with to control the complexity hikes.

>>4247428
Not trying to antagonize or anything but that looks like a fetish in itself.

>>4247448
i definitely like it too much probably, not sexually but it's an idea i can't seem to kill. something about mad scientists and misery just makes gets me mentally excited and there's no quests quite like that currently able to sate my definitely not a fetish questing desires.

Seems like a fetish to me.
But not to worry, nobody here would ever read a quest written by a fetishistic faggot who doesn't even capitalize his 'I's.
Please go and never return.

>>4247428
try to focus more on the mechanics/gameplay? make it deep so to speak. though I admit, the idea is too fetishy

Any quests for opportunists where you dont play the good guy just do the most pragmatic and beneficial thing?

C'mon anon, we all know that this mad scientist sooner or later will be making the lolis into quad amputees with big titties and huge buttplug enemas of some mind altering drug or another into them just like in those sadpanda galleries you like you perv.

Gotta take this thing to Akun.

>>4247768
I'll be up front, honest, and without any insults whatsoever.

It's literally entirely the fact that you're focusing on little girls. That's the whole problem. You said that even if you'd reduce the little girl aspect, you'd make them an 'upgrade'. That's a Problem, and smacks of a fetish. You'd need to turn that out and focus SOLELY (not primarily, SOLELY) on the mercantile and likely lawperson-avoiding aspects of it to remove the fetishes and make it something possible to be played and appreciated here. Otherwise, everyone's just going to insult you.

That's just how this place is, simple as that. If you're dead set on the little girl part of it, you really would be better off in Akun/Fiction.live; people may be saying so insultingly, but the fanbase on that site is, indeed, FAR more receptive to such quest types.

>>4247866
You know what? You're right. It's gotta be little boys!
Nah for real though, you're right. It's too much even for bait.
The lore reason was going to be war orphans since they're children people won't miss but letting the players determine their source stock, their quality and acquisition risk, is far better. No point in taking a good choice like that away to focus on only little girls.

do you guys think there is a need for a civ thread general right now in the board?

there are maybe six minor civ type threads going on right now, not sure if it is enough to warrant interest on a general, civ generals are only made once in a blue moon

I'm not gonna make it by the way, just throwing the idea out there

Has anyone tried Co-Qming to produce better content?

I would think having somone to bounce ideas off of and strip some of the fat or inspire more ideas when the tank is empty would drastically lower the chance of so many 3 thread QM's that start great and vanish or 15 thread QM's with great ideas but less than 50 replies due to poor execution.

That QM that does Mass effect has fucking great potential and drive but he posts such HUGE text walls that could very easily be cut down into really well written bite size pieces that include players more frequently and increase response time. There are other QM's in a similar situation that could really benefit from having another writer just come in and organize/offer advice and story ideas. I think /QST/ could really boom if QM's new and old had something like this.

Or does that sort thing just not work?

What do you guys think?

>>4247924
Civ thread generals always descend into bullshit civ graph shitposting in my experience, and six civ threads is not quite enough to make a general. Most of them are probably already dead.

Won't stop you from making it if you want to though.

>>4247969
All I'm saying is some Qm's could really benefit from a helping hand, not a creative takeover but just a creative nudge to keep them going or to improve writing abilities and produce better content for anons and strengthening the overall board.

I'm sure anons have a lot of great ideas but either never have the balls to run them or run them and fall flat on their face, either way they just become lurkers or abandon ship altogether.

Equally i'm sure there are a lot of Vets that are running quests that just aren't as popping as they used to be and would benefit from a creative reboot to get them going again.

If that's crazy then fuck it

>All I'm saying is some Qm's could really benefit from a helping hand, not a creative takeover but just a creative nudge to keep them going or to improve writing abilities and produce better content for anons and strengthening the overall board.

Well come on then put some names to that statement, maybe said names would be willing to hear it if they knew it applied to them. That said just having *a* co-qm or editor or the like isn't the same as having a *good* editor or co-qm, for the cases of if people best suited for such would be willing to invest so much without compensation, and whether the people most willing to do it for a person would be well suited to such either.

>>4247977
I take no issue with the concept of a co-QM. If QMs want to collaborate with somebody else, that's cool. If that helps their motivation, brainstorming, etc. all the power to them.

I take issue with your condescending attitude. You seem to believe that all quests could benefit universally and objectively from having a co-QM, and that the only reason someone might not want one is because of "ego"(???).

Isn't there an equal chance a brand new co-QM could cause massive issues? That they could butt heads with the original QM and make it unfun to run/introduce public shitstorms? That the players dislike the new plot directions/characters/voice introduced by the new QM? That enforced collaboration could lengthen update times?

Why would "veteran QMs" suddenly want to induct somebody they don't know into the creative work they've been running for months or years?

Who says this random "other writer" is even any good, or knows better than the person who had the vision in the first place?

Why must all quests universally be "saved"?

Are you a QM? Real question.

>>4247768
Pretty sure this is already a horror TTRPG anyways. You play "dolls" that wake up in an apocalypse and really everything you describe except you are the creepy little girl instead of the creep using little girls, and is therefore objectively better.

>>4247938
I tried to do an Exquisite Corpse style quest.

The first thread was good.

None of the others took off.

I think co-qming could be hellishly fun actually, but both qm's have to agree on what the quest is trying to accomplish. Otherwise, a meltdown will come sooner or later. Look at Magical Girl Noir Quest for example; a fuckton of write-ins got non-cannoned because they introduced elements that the original QM didn't agree with.

Otherwise, hell yeah, I'd co-qm.

>>4248021
Nechronica, that's the one.

>>4248024
To be fair, a ton of the write-ins were also shit.

M8 I literally said SOME Qm's could benefit from a co-QM and listed examples for you lol what are you on about?

Also I don't think everyone that wouldn't want a co-Qm has an ego at all. Quite the opposite, if you can successfully run a quest on your own more power to you!

However I think YOU don't want one because YOU have an ego, you literally said you wouldn't hypothetically want objective help for your HYPOTHETICALLY failing quest just because you "don't want someone else mucking around with my story and characters" Which considering I don't know nor do I care about your quest sounds like you have a shit quest anyway.

>Why would "veteran QMs" suddenly want to induct somebody they don't know into the creative work they've been running for months or years?

Again I already gave you an example m8. If a vet Qm has a quest that isn't popping and wants to revive it a co-QM could be the new set of eyes that are needed to get the creative juices flowing again

>Who says this random "other writer" is even any good, or knows better than the person who had the vision in the first place?

>Why must all quests universally be "saved"?

I don't know why you are so defensive about this? No other writer is better than another. Everyone brings something different to the table.

I think your problem is that you have never had someone sit down with you and help you with anything. And that's not a bad thing it just sounds like you don't know what it means to help a fellow writer with projects. It isn't this corporate "YOU NEED TO CHANGE THIS THIS AND THAT" kind of thing I think you have in mind. It's just one writer making suggestions and ideas to another. There is a reason there are writing teams, editors, etc. I'm just trying to start a conversation about getting QM's to collab more so the whole board grows dude lol

>Are you a QM? Real question.

Of course. I shared Ideas with another Qm recently and he pointed shit out to me that I hadn't even thought of for my setting, few mechanics and character ideas. I'm speaking purely from experience, I needed outside eyes on my ideas and it helped big time

>>4248113
A hundred percent. I don’t regret my time here in the slightest, and have no plans on stopping anytime soon.

>>4248017
I already mentioned the one I think who could benefit most, the dude who runs the mass effect quest.

He has a great idea on his hands but it's ruined by these massive text walls that could easily be cut down to manageable and fun pieces. He doesn't get many replies (Usually under 100) but is on like part 12 which shows that he has the drive to put out content despite not getting a lot of attention

>>4248173
>>4248180
One of you likes making characters, the other likes making setting.

I think you guys would have fun making a fantasy adventure based quest. Maybe centered around bosses (character anon) and it could be boosted by strong lore/lairs from (Setting anon). Mc would have to form a team (character anon) and travel to different locations (setting anon) to stop the destruction of the world. Have a set amount of bosses and an in-game timer until the world is fucked and you've got a fun engaging quest that has a foreseeable ending that you guys can complete by the end of summer.

Just throwing out ideas

I'm looking to test out my polished up combat system for a future quest. I can post some lore, but there won't be much in the way of story-choices. Is that something I can do here in the general or should I create a separate thread for that?

>>4248351
>Is that something I can do here in the general or should I create a separate thread for that?

Here should be good enough. If you want to specifically target your followers for said discussion it might be good to tweet out a temporary discord to talk about it.

>>4248356
That's not a bad point, though I am wary about discord and separate discussions. I could also test it out in the tail end of one of our usual threads.

>>4248365
Discord is bad. Then again in qst you will get people from both side of the discord discussion.

Discord is cancer and puts a wall for new players to join. As the discussion is moved to discord rather than the thread so new players are in the dark. And discord you get ton of shit posts.

>>4248365
Tail end of a thread would be best IMO.

Or a teaser opener. Your players Stan BCQ *hard* so there's no way they would be upset no matter where in the thread you put it.

Fuck, toss it up on a day you can't or don't feel up to making a StV update.

>>4247455
>>4247428
The fact that you seemed to be unaware of the fact that focusing solely on little girls intrinsically makes a dark idea seem like a fetish, gives me zero confidence in your ability to run a quest with dark concepts and not push it into your fetishes.
And just because your fetishes might not involve actual sex means nothing.

Your posts reminds me of another idea that was run up the up flagpole here where they took a dark idea and wanted to push it edgier.

If you want to run a dark idea of mad scientists and misery, then run those ideas but let the ideas, characters, and events pull the story in the direction that excites you. It will happen without you pushing it, because you want it.

It's like wanting to write sex without writing smut. You don't start with a little smut and try to work out how to keep it from becoming "really bad smut". Start with romance and trust that the sex will happen, because it will, because you want it.

Start with a quest about mad science and trust that the misery and darkness will happen because you want it.

If you immediately push for the aspects you desire to write about, it always comes across as fetish-fuel, as if the only reason you are writing anything at all is so that you can one-handedly type about "X".


But also yeah, if you focus solely on little girls, children, or the attractiveness of the victims, it immediately screams fetish.

Man, there's a lot of civ quests popping up lately. Seem to be two specific types, too. The kind that start out with a specific race and setup already in mind, and the stock 'choose everything' minimalist start type.

Will be interesting to see if any last and for how long.

>>4248773
Only a grand total of one QM is “suffering”. At best, TLD is just wasting his time. Anyone who would describe getting called out by strangers on an anonymous board “suffering” wins the Sheltered Bitch award.

Why won't they stop?

the pick race and location shit is mostly one guy who been doing it nonstop since /tg/ times

there are many other guys who copy him now and then, but he's been doing this the longest, he either finishes a thread and starts another right away or more often just drops it with no explanation given and just starts another, sometimes he disappears for awhile but he always comes back

people call him civshitter, because he shat countless civ threads over the years

his threads are not exactly bad, some are pretty good even, it is just that we never know if he is going to stick with it or he'll just randomly abandon it again

Fun while it lasts, I suppose. Pretty low commitment anyway.

Starting an isekai quest tomorrow, premise is you died, reincarnated, and got given the cheat skill "Miracle Gatherer", which increases the quality of items you pick up, things like ores, plants, monster bits etc.

One question: Is character creation something people might want or do people want a blank slate "Average Guy" which I make the backstory for? I would want people vote on things like name, age, general build if they wanted to vote but normal guy works too.

>>4249240
Chargen is death. Unless you are playing Code Vein; then it's half the game.

>>4249240
It depends. Do you want people to literally fill out a character sheet, or write-in everything? It's death. Is it a narrative with compelling choices? It'll be fine.

>>4249240
>>4249245
>>4249256
You know, I used to think that in depth and boring chargen is a death sentence too, but then that guy ran that L5R quest and the entire first thread was by the books chargen. It was a pretty popular quest too.

Link it or something and maybe we can deconstruct it when we get bored.

>blank slate "Average Guy" which I make the backstory for
Blank slates are only interesting if the events of the quest quickly give the players a chance to grant characterization to the mc.

iI would want people vote on things like name, age, general build
This *can* be done well, but often feels like votes that don't really matter.
Names in particular. Write-in names are generally awful, with occasionally awesome exceptions.

The best chargen is built into the narrative. I want to deconstruct how HeroQM did it for Quirkless Quest. Other anons might have been in it for the fanfic, but I never saw the source IP and got sucked in by the chargen and it felt like every choice mattered.

Honestly, my objective appraisal of my limited and biased exposure to quests is:
Well defined MCs are best
Character selection of premade MCs is a close second
Natural and organic character creation is third but not effortless to achieve
Chargen of relevant character features is okay
Blank slate is okay
Chargen everything is bad
Random is worst

All that said, deconstructing anything would be, like, fourth down on my quest ToDo List.

I'm just killing time while on hold.

Speaking of which, it's been quite a while since we're thrown into a battle scenario.

And that's a bad thing?

Is it better to be consistent with the amount of time between updates, or take longer than usual because I want a larger vote turnout before moving on?

>Larger vote turnout
Sometimes all that waiting will be for nothing since some Anons don't vote until a new update comes along

>>4250873
Consistency is king, but I've waited for more votes before if the only vote is an iffy write-in or I know my couple regulars haven't responded for whatever reason.
But I announced that I was holding off closing the voterather than leave the players to wonder.

General rule is to never let your players speculate if you're dead.

Just have a fetish that so deep in the fetish zone that people don't know it's your fetish. Like tile fetish, people will just think QM is good at describing the room. But really it's a fetishy fetishy thing

>>4250433
Nowhere else really has the combination of activity and discrimination that /qst/ does

Do you prefer wat do quests or quests with prompts?

Prompts. It shows the qm has something approximating a plan. Write in should be an option though, imo.
