>>5895950 >Have any real-world events (political, personal, media-related) found their way into your quest? My current quest (as with the last two, especially Reptilian Infiltrator) draws heavily on conspiracy theories, which in turn evolve and are influenced by real world events. I've also been playing with ideas like colonialism (including the 'benevolent', White Man's Burden or neoliberal NWO kind, mingled with New Age 'Age of Aquarius' ideas and Revelation theology), the idea of universalist religion, and
race-mixing . The biggest running parallel in my current quest, though, is probably the idea of entering a complex, quite possibly dangerous, multipolar world after a period of peaceful status quo. I try not to do one-to-one comparisons, and to put a fantastical spin on things and keep a neutral tone (or character-informed tone)a s to which 'side' is 'right' but they're all themes that have been on my mind.
>What genre of genre or subgenre of quest do you feel is missing from the catalogue? I second
>>5895955 . We have some capeshit, but I'd love an OC one again. Violent Masquerade was kino. Also: another high-concept business sim would be great. I always love those.

>>5895950 Looks like this is a troll QTG, but I'll answer the questions anyway!
>QM Question To a certain extent, yeah! Some of the nations in my quest are based on real-life ones, most notably the LHR being based on The United States, and The Holy Kingdom being slightly based on Canada. There are also some obvious parallels between the religions in Versequest and real-world religions. Though really for me something being "based on" something else more so just means it's inspired by it in one way or another. Like the LHR having a large military, being very patriotic, and being neighbors to a colder country.
>Player question I'd like to see more drawquests in the vein of Redhorn Quest and Radio Quest.

>>5896274 What's it about, exactly? What's the vibe? Do shill, anon!
>>5896300 > the LHR being based on The United States, and The Holy Kingdom being slightly based on Canada Huh. From the names I honestly would have thought it more based on something like West & East Rome or the Holy Roman Empire and Papal States. Now that you point it out, it makes sense, though. I guess (probably like the Big G himself in-quest) I didn't really put too much thought into the mortals'' climatic conditions or anything.
Best godkid is Canada's sovereign? Awesome. >see more drawquests in the vein of Redhorn Quest I assume you're playing its sister-quest, Greenhorn?

Quoted By:
>>5896307 The Mpire was slightly based on The Roman Empire, (with the crucifixions and all), but it was mostly just its own thing. The Holy Fish Empire is sort of a mix of The Dark Ages in Europe and Ancient Egypt. I originally planned for Nifoslok to be based on Native Americans, but it ended up being more European.
>I assume you're playing its sister-quest, Greenhorn? Been lurking it. Plan to eventually catch up with the previous threads.

>QM Question Despite my quest (before the inciting incident) being basically set in the real world, not really. The MC takes advantage of a lot of modern culture, especially social media, but the players have steered clear of any irl current events. They've been mostly content with being an apolitical cognitohazard.>Player Question More OC quests with unconventional and interesting settings. Versequest and Radio Quest immediately come to mind

>>5896335 No, she looks like that because she's a walking red flag. It's a villain quest

>>5865235 Thread 1 is complete, and thread 2 will come as soon as we hit page 10.
It's an original setting fantasy quest centered around a trio of loveable rogue sky pirates as they carve their legend into the world and uncover mysterious phenomena and sinister plots.
And if you want to review it, I'd be glad to have the feedback. Anonymous
>>5896377 That sounds pretty based. I like a spooky, sulky gothic quest every now and again. I'll check it out when I have time. Thanks, anon.
>>5896392 Coomers gonna' coom unless you have a quest concept and characters utterly antithetical to it. maybe even then.
>>5896401 I 'reviewed' the quest itself, but I really like how all the characters in the pirate gang come across as deliberately tryhard and cool in a goofy, immature way, and without being edgy! The setting itself is really unique and interesting, while simultaneously reminding me of those Tales games and Skies of Arcadia. Everyone is pretty likable, and the vibe is exceptionally swashbuckly in the best way. I'd strongly recommend it to anyone who likes sky-pirates as a concept or just having fun.
