>>5914135In my opinion It is, start with something important happening that sets up the plot. Then cut to our mc reflecting. On qst I think the first few posts are really important, much more so then in a book. A person going to bookstore is ready to read, while I think on qst people are much more lethargic to pick up a new quest. (Opinion)
An example: You can open with some gods fighting or something and some of their blood falling to earth. Then cut to the mc like 100000 years later going to investigate a strange unearthed meteor while reflecting in the back of a car.
Another idea is maybe you can open with a quest synopsis instead of jumping right into the text. A brief explanation of what the reader can expect. That way you can start slow because the reader expects to see something interesting later. For example, if you say the quest will be about dragon slaying you can start with some random guy instead of jumping into the action. The promise of dragon slaying later, and the curiousity of how we will get to dragon slaying from this point, can keep prospective players interested.
