>>6318602I really don't know.
While I didn't start the GOOD fantasy quest meme (that was Soj), I do kinda get what it's going for. The idea of a fantasy quest which emulates the sensation of reading a classic fantasy story, not just a story set in a "fantasy" if that makes sense.
For me, I think I keep missing the mark on making a fantasy setting really lived in, believable, and immersive. I try to do similar things for my other quests (with slice of life or more grounded side threads or moments) but fantasy in particular has a certain quality of "wanting to be there"; where the entire isekai genre came from.
While many people want to emulate fantasy media firsthand, I sorta have a different desire, like emulating the fiction and form of a fantasy video game back into its literary/questing formula, with its own challenges. Much like the desire to start up a new MMO or Elder Scrolls games for the first time. Trying to capture that magic, but only through this medium instead.
There are already GOOD fantasy quests on the board I'm sure, I'm just not too familiar with the goings-on. I would like to run my own, simple so I can have rotating genre autism (Fantasy > Modern > Sci-Fi) but my settings tend to be more esoteric. I guess Black Ocean will have to be my dark, nautical fantasy equivalent for now lol
