>>6213393 >QM question: >Are there any special occasions you mark in your quests/traditions that you do? Even something like asking questions at the beginning/end of the thread or art for certain points in the story. The questions are a constant I try to encourage through the threads, but I also like to make pinups for the fourth of july and christmas, as well as general summer themed ones, which are coming up. On more serious notes I prefer to show particular equipment or vehicles when they appear, since such is particularly more relevant in the grand scheme than what clothes a character might be wearing, usually.
>Player question: >What would encourage you to make a fanwork (art/a side story) of a quest you like? Does /qst/'s nature as a 4chan board make you less inclined to? Have you ever made something for a quest you like before? I'm actually more encouraged to with this place being an imageboard, and I've drawn stuff for people, but I think if anything would encourage other people to do it more it'd be a higher population and higher interaction ratios between said population. It's no fun to put a lot of effort into something and there to be a muted reaction, or nothing at all, though things like drawings are practically guaranteed to have something from the QM I imagine people would like more talk from their fellow players too. Attention is a huge motivator for anybody. Lack of engagement is the entire reason I've stopped posting things on twitter instead of just directly into threads (on 4chan, not the facebook thing).
>General question: >What are you looking forward to for April Fools, the annual 4chan bit, something elsewhere, or gimmick quests? Another Anya quest run, of course.
Though really, no. That ended up being an april fools that lasted almost half a year. A joke fake OP image like it started off as being is probably the most I'd do.
>Miscellaneous question: >If you won the lottery tomorrow but you had to buy 4chan, how would you improve the /qst/ing experience? Get rid of the autoblock on replying to multiple messages first off, at least for the OP. It's robbing voters of their precious (You)s.
Also some more slight encouragement for people from other boards to pop in. The quests themselves can stay here, but they shouldn't be shut away in the dark.
I'd also rename the board, but I don't know to what.. Quest is an esoteric name, and over time more and more things have been banished here that aren't really quests in the first place. It's hard to come up with anything as punchy, "forum games" or "interactive stories" is more accurate but too clinical.

Have you ever made something for a quest you like before? This depends: if it is art, just a really awesome moment in the quest that I would really like to visualize with my subpar artistry. If it is a side-story however, there needs to be an unexplored story thread that I can work with.
>What are you looking forward to for April Fools, the annual 4chan bit, something elsewhere, or gimmick quests?

>>6213393 >QM question Not particularly.
>Player question Well, I can't exactly make art since I can hardly scribble a line without it being crooked. My two quests have been, in proxy, fanworks of my friend's quests and facility management quests in general (Monster Facility, F.E.E.D, MANAGER HELP!). Something about those quests have just stuck with me ever since I started actively reading /qst/ threads.
So, if I make a fanwork, it's usually through the means of making a quest inspired by other quests.
>General question I suppose lookin' forward towards the annual 4chan bit. April Fools has never really been a holiday I cared that much about.

>Lurker question: Whenever I see '____ quest #<insert obscenely large number here>', does get a bit spooky. Would like to participate, but I both don't want to read 10 hours of lore to make an informed vote, or vote ill-informed and look like an idiot. So, usually just read things when they interest me. I tend to participate more in newer quests for that reason.
>Miscellaneous Question 1. Option to sort catalogue (or all posts) by most recent OP post instead of most recent post. Helps to find more active quests.
2. Auto-Highlight OP posts option. Setting to toggle that just makes it so all posts by the OP of the thread are highlighted automatically. Could help rereading quests where lots of discussions happen between story posts.
3. Main thread posts should show the 2 most recent OP posts and the 2 most recent non-OP posts, instead of 5 most recent posts total. Could be easier to read what's going on in a quest if it has high traffic without needing to go in and search for the most recent post.

sorry for the unexplained absence, this weekend went from one where I was expected to have most of my time free to one where I had almost no time at all within the span of one night. >QM question: I think my quest is too new for that. The closest thing I can really say counts is that I start all of my threads to suptg archives and the quest renty. No way i'd ask my audience for art, either, I think it'd come off as pretty desperate. If people like the quest, they'll make fanart for it.>Player question: Dude, I don't know at this point. I've just lost a lot of passion for drawing and not even my most sincere and dear-to-me work can muster a drawing or two out of me. I think I just need a really long break from that kind of stuff for a while. I've never made anything for quests I like as consequence, which is a shame but it is what it is.>General question: 4chan's april fool's bits have been shit for a while, and I'm seeing less and less places both online and irl that do anything for April Fool's. It's a serious shame. I just hope there's anything at all near my frequent haunts this year. I hate how depressing the world is trying to make itself. entry should be either late tonight or tomorrow. Very hectic schedule. I've got to go someplace in 20 minutes and still have shit scheduled after that. I should be free to write in like 3 or 4 hours though. I hope, anyways.

>>6213393 >QM: I like to ask a set of specific questions at the end of a thread, yea... also give players an opportunity to share what they think a character looks like in Dark Quest. It's been a lot of fun and the feedback also really helps me out when working on the next one. Otherwise I don't do much else that I can think of.
>Player: I suppose it'd have to be one I really enjoy and feel confident in drawing/writing! I have this weird hang-up about doing fanart specifically because I don't want to insult the receiver--really irrational, I know, but for some reason I feel way more comfortable butchering my own stuff than someone else's. I'd probably be more comfortable running a sidestory if anything, but that's a whole commitment that I ain't keen on doing with my own quest happening. Might have a plan brewing for a /qst/ tourney-esque /QST/IO KART later on, though!
>General: Hard to say--with how slow the board moves now April Fools quests stay on the catalog for AGES. I love me some goofy shit, but it's a little trickier to set up nowadays. Maybe some April Fool's Art?
>Misc: I'd give every voter a cape.

Curse Carrier DM
I am, allegedly, still alive. Not great, but alive. I lost the notes I made of my quest, which included a bunch of useful info like the month, money and other stuff I was too lazy to keep track of. I was also just not feeling good mentally so what was supposed to be a few weeks long break turned into months.
Anyway, can't promise I won't disappear again, but I'll try not to let the voices win.
>QM question: I usually just let people ask questions about random stuff, but I've enjoyed doing 'what if' scenarios at the end of some threads, mostly to satisfy myself since I do like to explore what could've happened if some other choice was picked (like another girl)
>Player question: Depends, I think I've only ever drawn fanart for things like the queen tournament or whatever it was called. It feels more fun when everyone's doing it, if that makes sense.
>General question: Oh god it's april already. Please god, let the march of time stop for one second. I might do something for it, but probably not.
>Miscellaneous question: I'd make it so QM's could actually post much, MUCH more than 3000 characters. I've always found it annoying how I have to parse things or cut a paragraph early because I can hardly fit more than like 20 lines of text in there. I'd also like it if editing posts was a little less clunky, as editing multiple posts is a nightmare. I don't know how much of a load the text takes on the servers, but come on, it's text on /qst/ of all boards, can't be that much.

>>6213393 >QM question: I have a lot of these.
I don't like starting threads with a single (OP only) post because then the first reply to the thread will be tucked underneath the image box. This is why I either need to post a second full post beneath it to take up this space or make absolutely sure my first post is long enough; case in point is this quest on the front of the catalog
>>6214296 where we can see the first reply in this unnatural position (nothing against this QM I just nitpick stuff like this).
Secondly, I like to ask questions for feedback at the end of my threads. I tend to think a lot of these questions and even go back to previous threads to avoid retreading the same questions for a long running quest. I find it a very useful form of feedback, but you can't solely rely on it. I also like to do a mid-thread check in depending on the Quest to see the vibe, but sometimes this is used as a crutch in lieu of an actual update if I fall behind schedule.
Important, dramatic, or especially edgy scenes get spoilered for the sake of impact. Once again, somewhat ruined by the choice of 4chan reader, such as my phone app not having spoilers at all, which ruins the dramatic value somewhat.
Personally I want to start more "traditions" on /qst/, like running a special Halloween game each year in October (I missed last year just barely).
>Player question: Firstly, I would need to find a Quest that I'm interested enough in to be inspired for this, and secondly, I wouldn't want to offend the QM. Bad art can already feel like a slap in the face (and yes we all know any art is better then no art but don't lie if someone makes fanart for you you secretly hope the artist is better then you at least so you can see your characters or scenes in a cool or high-def artstyle, feels more of a treat that way then a simple doodle of one of your characters or monsters). Side story would be right out. Even writing fanfiction, something I've done in the past, always felt weird and scary difficult given how hard it is to exactly match a character's personality or relationships. Doing that for a Quest, in which the QM is present where you post it, seems right out.
>General question: I love 4chan April Fools, but I fear having a thread running during the time can mess it up. Even now you can go back to the archives for previous April fools and see things like the emojis or other forum elements there. I worry these could mess up future archive reader experiences. I just hope they actually do a
GOOD one this year! I also ran an April Fools thread of Monke one time; but I feel like the surprise is ruined by the date. You have to catch people who forget to fall for an April Fools prank, which isn't easy on a social platform where multiple others can remind them and the posts themselves show you the date and time.

>>6213393 >Player question: Generally, i create fan works if i feel like something is interesting i can add to the story or if i really love a potential prospect of the quest. For example in Broken Empire, I visualized several potential ship designs I thought were cool and as suggestions for future production. Ones very unlike what most empires in the quest have been shown to have. Something more curved, with in-built mechanics that make each of them special. Like the Herald, with primitive stealth tech that also allows for quick bursts of thrust using stored-up heat from running the outer shell of the hull cold.
Generally, I'm pretty terrible in any creative skills, so I make what I can with what I have lol

>General question: I don't really know. Wish there would be an event like the King & Queen of /qst/ since that was pretty fun.
>Lurker question: Normally I lurk when I don't feel like my vote is too important, or input would change anything. Also because I like name-fagging despite not being a QM (tried it before, but quickly realized how hard it is. I still want to run Pandora Quest in the future, but I also wanna prepare better than last time when I tried running it.) and after people kept on giving me shit for doing it simply because I like having a name for stuff like never caring about IP changes, I don't want to have people begin shit-flinging in the thread whenever I try to be an active poster.
>Miscellaneous question: If I could do something to help improve the questing experience, it would probably be improving the general newfag experience, expanding out the number of active threads possible at a given time, and integrating a service like thisisnotatrueending into the board. One where pruned quests can easily be linked back to, and old messages can be shown no matter if the thread it is from is active or not. Probably also implement a more standardized voting system so that each vote doesn't take up as much thread space, since it is both a hassle for QM's to keep account of and wording can confuse players of what can or cannot be voted for.

>>6214936 No because some of the 'slower' moving long term quests would just come back with a new thread if got bumped off or would actually stay 'alive' due to more traffic finding it interesting like it used to be. Also /tg/ is so dead and slow anymore besides for bait threads.

So I’m new to this. I spent my evening trying to figure out what kind of quest and which fandom I’d set it in. I went from one to another. Following sparks, sometimes back tracking to previous ideas. Then I was struck by nostalgia. I was listening to Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow with Dio on the vocals and I was brought back to some old ass notes. I cobbled it together, made it make sense to me, and started writing. Now I have a quest up. My creative writing needed an outlet and dammit here it is! Thank you reading this ad. I’m quite uncomfortable with tooting my own horn. Sometimes if you’re in a creative rut, or indecisive, turn on some old music you used to listen to, or what got you started. I’d link my own thread, but I don’t know how to do that across threads. Derp. Please check out “Dragonborn Cleric of the Dark Gods”!! Thanks for listening to my Tedtalk.

>>6215351 The 15 minute post timer for new machines was introduced as a temporary measure to reduce spam and shitposting during the 2024 US presidential election. It was then not removed after the election was over, not necessar or effective for stopping the worst spam (the scam posters and bots on /biz/, which has sense required partial user registration) and is especially bad for /qst/ as it is a board with minimal off-topic posting and traffic is very precious. It is clearly being kept in place as a way to increase site revenue via the 4chan pass. This could be much better increased by offering better features to users or by cutting costs like not allowing the constant AI image spam threads on every single board driving up bandwith exponentially. It's a bad attempt at monetization and is especially bad for /qst/. Even if you kept the post timer but just reduced it to 1-2 minutes you wouldn't see a significant increase in spam and would make the user experience much better.

>>6213393 >Are there any special occasions you mark in your quests/traditions that you do? I try to do a bit of recap at the start of each thread, and towards the end of a thread (or when I take a couple days off) I tend to solicit for input. There are alsoa few running gags I include in each quest, though I don't know how many people have picked up on. Probably the biggest "tradition" is just commissioning updated character art every thread or two.
>What would encourage you to make a fanwork (art/a side story) of a quest you like? Does /qst/'s nature as a 4chan board make you less inclined to? Have you ever made something for a quest you like before? A side syory wiuld ne neat, but I'd hate to step on another QM's toes, and some people are more sensitive than others. Usually what I do to show fan appreciation is or include little allusions or references in my quest (usually for abandoned quests rather than ongoing ones), and to commission art for QMs when I can. Any quest I play for 7 threads or so is pretty much guaranteed to get a commission unless they're already flush with fanart, or I'm in a tight spot monetarily that month.
/qst/ being on 4chan doesn't limit me that way, but it DOES reduce the pool of people I feel comfortable sharing my work with. >What are you looking forward to for April Fools, the annual 4chan bit, something elsewhere, or gimmick quests? Never been a big fan of those quests. Most QMs don't keep up the pace enough to wrap up a satisfactory 1-shot while the holiday spirit is still alive.
>Do you have any expectations for increased activity in the upcoming season(s)? In my quest? Maybe, but probably not until this one's done and I start my next. On /qst/ in general? Uh... One can dream, I suppose.
>If you won the lottery tomorrow but you had to buy 4chan, how would you improve the /qst/ing experience? I genuinely do not want the nightmare of being legally or administratively responsible for 4chan, no matter how much miney I have. Can you imagine? But if I won 4chan in a lottery and couldn't return it, I suppose I'd take a hands off approach and leave running most of it to other people and focus on the few biards I care about, like this one. I'd make the pass cheaper depending on what or how many boards you plan to use it for, reduce that damn timer, and run a lot of ads for /qst/... Maybe even soin off the blue and pink boards into their own official sites, actually.

I promised to return to start that sequel quest over from the beginning with a better plan and more organization in how I approached writing it. I have most of the preparation done now.

That nostalgia is a big part in why I've been keeping the redux gliding along
at its admittedly glacial pace . It's been taking on a life of its own, though sometimes I feel like a 1-guy mod team of a game that took a lot more sophistication to develop than it did to mod.
Anyway, I'll be keeping an eye out for when it's ready. Maybe I'll lend my modest art skill for your character designs if you haven't already made arrangements.

I had too much fun running Akeldama and the early threads of Mirror to leave it unfinished permanently. Just waiting 'til I had enough free time IRL to run again.
I noticed you were still going with that, good to see it. Distortion is fairly different from the original Awakening Mirror, so hopefully you won't feel too much like anything's retreading old ground. I approached this as a new sequel to City Akeldama from the ground up, rather than trying to go into the Awakening Mirror that did exist and correct the flaws. I'm hoping that means new players as well as those who remember the first go around can enjoy the new one.
One part of the prep work I've been doing was getting art for all the major characters, so I won't need your help in that respect. Thanks for the offer, though!

Rue'Vahn
>>6214513 I think Rue'Vahn would have ceded any claims to Ivans holdings. I never had an interest in that sort of thing; he saw himself as a champion, not a ruler.
That said, Rue'Vahn probably would have had some conditions that he'd expect of Mulrog. Basic stuff such as an agreement that we build a bunch of statues of the Warlords who died defending chaos, that Ivanoslav be welcoming if a base of operations/meeting spot is needed, that sort of thing.
As for his personal plans, I don't think I'd narratively participate in the next raid. Instead, I'd go around and look for legendary heroes of chaos and start gathering them to counter-invade the realm that the Bird-Witch came from. I don't care who they have, SLAMBO will solo them all. Plus, I'd pay irl money to see the Porcelain kaiju we saw go up against someone like Kholek Suneater in a fight. He's probably bigger lmao.
As for fighting some day... I think Rue'Vahn genuinely sees Mulrog as a friend, regardless of how close he is to getting murdered by the giant. He'd still defend himself if attacked and fight for his life, but he'd never be the one to start the fight.
I wonder if that'd only piss off Mulrog even more? Anonymous

Quoted By:
>>6216287 Ivanoslav is getting turned into a forward operating base due to its strategic location. Mulrog does not care to rule the Wheatlands like Ivan did. rather to make it an extension of the roaming steppes for the tribes of the Kurgan. part of the reason he wanted to kill Ivan was that Ivan was a mighty champion. but also because Ivan spat on the traditional kurgan way.
which granted Mulrog now kinda does as well. Though he is no longer human and his concerns are different now, what with the Great Game tugging at his soul.
oh yeah. Kohlek would probably smash that kaiju on his own. not to mention if he brought other Shoggoths. Those would probably also be needed for such an invasion. now where to find enough lightning bolts to properly rouse em.
maybe. but so far he can certainly see Rue as a man worthy of respect. and a man that Mulrog could have been very similar to if things had gone just slightly differently. and for at least a time you would be very very safe. Killing the kaiju is a feat not easily outshone and as such will require entire armies to be murdered or even greater Beasts to be hunted.

If COD is your inspiration they already play fast and loose with realism and historical authenticity.

Rarely, if ever, but when I get it I get it HARD lol. That's typically when I go on hiatus, since there's little point in continuing if every fiber of my body is asking me to stop.
It's also the reason I plan on having a "2 thread-hiatus-2 thread" schedule instead of just having the quest constantly run with random breaks. 2 threads seems like the limit for me to post daily
(or near-daily when I'm getting fucked by real life like I am right now ;-;) before needing to stop to prevent burnout.
I'm never really afraid of losing players because I could probably run my quest with a single dude if I needed to haha. Might be due to the fact that my quest is super stat-light, but I dunno. I just like writing it.
(Entry is hopefully tonight, 80% chance. I got jumpscared with three huge projects and an important milestone due in the next three days that I had little forewarning of. I'm mostly done with work for the day so I should be able to post just fine, but there's probably a 20% chance I accidentally fall asleep before finishing the entry so I'm throwing it in there just in case lol.)

Also, the interconnectedness of Mossad, the CIA, the KGB, Freemasonry, & the Mafia as they developed over time. China's MSS did not have the same degree of infiltration & counter-infiltration to my understanding. Pakistani ISI played a role in the Mujihadeen, as did China & the US, both of whom also backed the Khmer Rouge against the Viet Minh.
Lastly, keep in mind that switching to your secondary is always faster than reloading, & if you're going to have a zombies interlude thread or two, make them Red Undead for once considering the East Bloc's actual use of wave tactics & practical zombification of the minds of their populace (see Homo Sovieticus syndrome).

No, but there are definitely times where I wish the process could be more cooperative so that I could take a breather whilst someone else handles the quest for a week. I've tried a mildly successful approach where I sometimes sit back and let the players run the quest themselves for a few days if I'm busy, and that I'll only act as the arbitrator to give a yes/no on what we run with.

I hope it actually finishes. It's a shame that it's going to only be a one-shot, especially with the interesting premise, but better one finished Digimon quest than none. DetectQM

>For some irrational reason it's not too irrational, don't worry about it. With the size of most quest threads, it's probably intimidating to try and read 30ish threads that have hundreds of posts each, let alone keeping track of all the characters and events that would have happened throughout those threads.
It's part of the reason why I'm trying to keep my quest's core human cast pretty small and planning to possibly shrink it later. Also, wait, Rise of the Awakened is multiplayer? I never clicked on their threads, but I guess I just assumed that it was one QM due to the introduction post...

>>6218668 >>6218755 Magically Challenged Quest, Dark Quest, Cambion Quest, Jail Quest, or The Prophecy Names Me might scratch your itch from among current offerings. All of them have casual magic use, many races, and a fabtastical world with some degree of worldbuilding.
The first follows Atlas, a student at a school for remedial students; he's brught, but humans uniquely suck at magic, and barely even get a chance to elarn it because they live in a high-tech isolationist state..the ither students form a colourful and well-fleshed-out cast of truly odd races, including a loveable tentacle monster in a skinsuit, psychically connected twins, demon fembiys, and ghostly wraiths. The magic system is flexible and encourages creative puzzle-solving.
Dark Quest is an isekai starribg a goofy amnesiac frycook and performance art enthusiast, accidentally summoned by a demon cult to a world magically shrouded in perpetual darkness which everyone has learned to navigate by braille, scent, sound, and magic. It's very much an action-comedy, but the world is still interesting and.populated by bugfolk, cat-goblins, reptilian orc-lizards, and probably some other stuff... Not that we know what any of them REALLY look like! The writing is chamring, the characters are surprisingly rich, and the updates frequent!
Cambion Quest is a spinoff/sequel to a bunch of other quests by the same QM. It's a mix of exploration, mystery-solving, team-bulding and management, and dungeon-crawling (though QM handles the math for the mist part), and the setting is a sort of warped hodgepodge of homebrew D&D stuff with a particular focus on biological magic, soul manipulation, and local metaphysics. The main characters of this one are two halves of a demon-tainted goblin girl that were split apart, and are trying to find acceptance and success in an increasingly weird and fantastical world.
I run this one. Anonymous
>>6218875 Jail Quest is full of delsightful black-and-white cartoony art and set un a nexus of collapsed realities that sometimes serves as a cosmic prison, but which is huge enough to qualify a sits own world and is filled with bizarre and alien cultures from across the multiverse. It's a sequel/spinoff to a quest or two, too, and has the built-up worldbuilding to show for it. The main character is goblin-orc conwoman who has assembled a posse to investigate a dangerous cult threatening the cohesion of their pocket dimensions, which she has been roped into as community service after cheating at cards. Very cute and mostly light.
"The Prophecy Names Me, So The Demon General Betrays Her King?!" is a cute slice-of-life fantasy romance with some action and exploratoration. It's a bit of a slow boil but with a lot of fun character interactions and a neat unfolding mystery as to WHY an improtnat prophecy has named some random human farmer as the one to defeat a demon king and his generals, and how he (and his pyromaniac birdbrained love interest, and his cat) are supposed to accomplish such a thing.

>>6218900 I would prefer a 1980s PI quest where the P stands for private, myself. Just a hardboiled mystery with no magic. Failing that, avoiding outright D&D fantasy shit and sticking with the kind of paranormal that shows up in horror novels (ghosts, gypsy curses, demonic possession, etc) would also work.

>>6220741 You assumed right, anon. I've been using AI tools to generate visual novel style portraits of all the major characters. I can work them into decently convincing VN 'screenshots' from there in photoshop. That's what I was getting at with "always something you miss", the AI flaws. It's certainly not perfect, but I can get a lot closer to my vision of the characters this way than when I was relying on trying to find art on pixiv that happened to resemble what I had in mind. The consistent art style is nice too.
>>6220759 I've found it very edifying. There are a lot of moments that made me wonder what I was thinking, but it's good to reflect on mistakes like that so you don't make them again. If you forget all about them, or never realize they were mistakes, you can't get anything from them.

“Good morning girls and ghouls, this is Mr. New Vegas with a special announcement from TheSurvivalist. Let me just get my reading glasses here.
‘Do you remember Fallout: No Gods, No Masters? No? Maybe? Well I’m back from my hiatus and ready to redux, as the kids say. I’m just going to reboot the series as it’s been nearly 4 years from the run, but please check suptg or .moe to see the previous iterations. Let me know if this fallout civ quest would be of interest to any one of you. I know /qst/ is more dead now than then, but that QM bug never really leaves.’
Well there you have it, perhaps we will see peace in our time. Don’t be afraid to hop on the horn and let us know what you think. Until then, wastelanders.”

Hey, me again, Great Value Archivebro back with another review. This time it's StoryQM's Downerquest! Downerquest follows Fido Ballthrow, titular downer and one of the only people who can feel that the world is going to end. So, in the last five days he and everyone else supposedly has to live, he intends to do whatever he can to stop it if possible, though mostly he just manages to make himself and everyone else in his life have a bad time. Like Versequest, the QM's other and perhaps more well known project, Downer is a drawquest with more emphasis placed on dialogue and the drawings than verbal imagery or flowery language. This, I think, serves the quest well: the simple art of the quest and verbal ambiguity give it that trademark dream-like surrealness that Versequest readers will undoubtedly recognize, and despite the simple artstyle, the drawings can sometimes be surprisingly effective in conveying the dark themes and tone of the quest. Speaking of themes, Downer is able to cover some really dark stuff-- mental illness, isolation, depression, self loathing, and the impact a person's actions can have on others-- with surprising maturity and about as much taste as one could manage in a quest format without completely neutering all impact. The characters are all believable and well written, even the ones that are more extreme and conventionally unrealistic. Making sure that the readers genuinely like the people that Fido cares about is, in my opinion, one of the most important tasks that a quest like this has to make work in order for it to have the proper effect on the audience: we need to feel guilty when Fido hurts his loved ones, when WE hurt them, in order for any of Fido's despair to really bleed into the reader. Technically, there's next to nothing wrong with Downerquest, but if I had to mention something about it I disliked, it REALLY lives up to the name. While there is the occasional moment of levity sprinkled throughout the narrative, it feels... escapist. Like you're avoiding something important that you really should address, trying and failing to deny reality to have a moment of peace despite knowing full well that nothing is fine and everything is either going to shit or arrived at that destination a long time ago. It really does accurately capture the feeling of being depressed-- the undercurrent of dread and guilt and shame is completely inescapable, and as a result it really is a slog to read through and watch Fido make the same mistakes over and over again. That said, it is (pretentious as it sounds to say) genuinely valuable as art. I really would recommend it to anyone who wasn't immediately scared off by the title of the quest.

>>6221957 So, that's the review! Now, originally I had intended to review ReptoidQM's Cambion Quest next, but it has been brought to my attention that the incredibly talented ObserverQM (whose newly returned Solstice Quest you really need to go check out if you haven't already) intends to review it instead. Since he has a much greater familiarity with Reptoid's body of work in general and the world of Cambion and its semi-prequels specifically, he'll probably do a better job of it than I would have anyway, so as with Archivebro and Magically Challenged, I'll leave that review to more capable hands. That aside, I am as always taking requests for the next review. Otherwise, Disappearing Hogwarts is next.

I was curious if there was any decent Warhammer fantasy quest. I searched the archive by tags but only found one called Bretonnian Peasant Quest. I was reading some old medieval/asoiaf quest (Boggs, Crusader Quest, Shryke) and felt the craving for a Warhammer/ dark fantasy/ alt history type quest. If anyone has any recs, please share.

It makes the quest bigger than just a collaborative LARP, right?
Also, some of my paranormal threads felt haunted by real-life evil forces. And I'm not talking about the gangstalkers who openly harass me on this board, e.g.

Some of the most powerful tricks can cause death to an unprepared skater. Different boards are crafted which have their own magical effects, or can augment the abilities of the rider along with infusing them with powerful stickers charged with Skate energy which act as a sort of currency for Skaters. All of these things require a great deal of time and practice to accomplish, which has lead to the creation of Skating sects which jealously guard this knowledge. Society has altered itself to idolize Skaters, with many trying desperately to join Skate gangs and sects which teach the most choice tricks and hold the best skating parks with which to gather most of this skate energy- which naturally gathers at the coolest locations most in tune with Skate culture- like the mythical place where Tony Hawk performed his first kickflip. Other sects could include BMX bikers, aggressive roller skate punks, and scooter kids who all tap into slightly different forms of Skate-Energy. The MC would attempt to join one of these sects with nothing but a rotten wooden board and an ethic of hard work; working their way up. A slightly tongue in cheek fantastical Skateboarding Quest featuring cultivation (cultiskatetion?) elements.

>>6224898 >>6224901 alright, so let me set the stage
the MC, a poor OC has a ghost bitch in his head, she nice, but he also has a elder god up his ass, he not nice, the elder god will be released if he dies the elder god eats connections, and time, this results in MC not being know by potters, harry being the headmaster, and one of his daughters being a year above you your ghost reveals herself to you, and tell you shit will go down bad, with the elder god getting out, and you need to act, you got a few months to train and get to a certain spot so MC trains, but there is that potter girl, trying to cozy up to you, and at once point, it's shown she has an evil ghost in her head, when you find this out (overhearing her mental breakdown because the ghost wants bad things to happen to you), she/the ghost mindrapes you so you got no memories (this spot is important, remember it) so you train, and train, and train, get some potions, get a cute gf, do some cool school activities, honestly great quality quest, ghost shit aside, oh, you also got two best friends, both lovable dorks that eventually fall in love with each other, and you over time find the special place you need to visit for the world to not end, your find is in majority part due to their effort ah, but you see, the date you found was written in the wrong calendar, so you need to rush, because you only realize when the ghost tell you that it's time, and why the fuck aren't you at the spot, so you hurry, specifically you, the potter girl, and your two friends what follows is perhaps the single worst sequence I have seen
so, the special place is unlocked by touching a glowing spot, and then going into the lake, there is a cave, and through it, bellow hogwards, in there, there is a fight with monsters, people barely make it, until you get into the final chamber in the final chamber, the potter girl looks into your eyes, and reveals she is evil, or more accurately, she's fucking dead, the evil ghost is all that's left, what happened was that the ghost was with her since she was a baby, and was mindtorturing her for her entire life, and forcing her to hide it, this slowly shattered her inside, the last straw being that mindcontrol moment that we talked about, where the ghost realized that he doesn't need her after all, so he just killed her and assumed full control, it's also revealed that using her body, he's been mindraping you too and deleting the memories, weird that our own ghost doesn't remember, when she seems to be able to sense shit, but oh well regarding just how dead the potter girl is, it's said that the potter girl's soul has completely shattered, and that the ghost made a mask from it to wear, all a metaphor, but yeah she's extremely fucking dead Anonymous
>>6224923 so anons choose... what? NON LETHAL OF COURSE, when this bitch was our battle teacher, even without evil ghost full control boost, and we never got EVEN CLOSE to beating her, because using the killing curse on someone who mindraped your friend so heard she fucking died is NOT ALLOWED, ONLY BAD GUYS USE THE BAD SPELL so you try non lethal, and proceed to get your ass handed to you, even with your own ghost doing it's best, a killing curse is cast on you, and your best friend blocks it, you know, the lovable dork that you have grown to love as a brother? yeah he jumps in front of it and fucking dies do you think this warrants an escalation? no of course not, even if there is the option to use the killing curse, we need to continue non lethal, after all, only bad guys use the killing curse, and we are a good guy! yes the thread is full of moralfags metagaming morality and theorizing what this could imply about us if we use it when TWO OF OUR FUCKING FRIENDS ARE DEAD AND WE'RE NEXT (this is the point where I wrote the previous post, absolutely seething with anger) so the QM pull a roll bonus out of his ass, and gives it to you, it's bonus of whopping +20, the supernatural ghost gave you around the same and your entire amount of skills and knowledge were less than 20, so this bonus of anger from your friend dying is fucking massive, and in reality doesn't make sense for it to be that good, but it is, so of course guess what? you still eat shit, the bad guy beats you both, and cuts of your arm, and then!!!.... turns it's back on your friend, who just had the love of her life killed (and he knows it), the bad guy keeps you literally under it's heel, and starts fucking monologing, no defenses up, not nothing, yeah, no shit, the girl kills it, no roll, no nothing, just "oh shit nigga! you lost due to trying to bringing boxing gloves into a gunfight! refusing to take them off at all cost! BUT I CAN'T HAVE YOU PAY THE PRICE!!!!" the girl friend doesn't die or anything btw, she just has a mental breakdown from her love dying, the bad guy doesn't notice at the last moment and sling a curse at her, no the only thing that absolute failure cost was your arm, that's it, you choosing pacifism again and eating shit came as practically no cost to yourself oh, and btw, all of this is in THREAD 2

like I said, ghost shit aside, the quest is great,
in general quality, maybe one of the best I've seen
which means it turning shit very painful
there being no repercussions makes the quest illegible or even spitevoter creating
the fault lies with the anons who votes in such a shit way, and on the QM for fucking it up so bad
like I said, maybe if the other friend was also killed, then it could at least feel like those choices meant something, but as of now? lol, lmao
fuck no, a good quest was lost, and all sides who caused it deserve much more shit than I am capable of creating
Anonymous
>>6224953 >>6224960 Oh, you haven't even finished and you somehow already decided that the loss was of no consequence even though it affects basically everything that happens from that point onwards. Yeah, good opinion retracted, seethe
Anonymous
>>6224967 >Nooooo someone shits on your plate you need to eat it *all* before saying it's shit I have been explicit where I was in the threat at all times when making my posts, with the exception of the first
the lack of consequence I was specifically bitching about was regarding the second choice, regarding doubling down on non lethal
the consequence of that was losing an arm, by the end of the thread, the arm is back
so yes, there is no consequence for the loss of the arm a fag who actually read the quest provides even more info here regarding the "long term"
>>6224956 saying that the arm basically only looks weird, and that's about it
so yes, I am correct, no consequence to choosing to double down on pacifism
there are three layers (or more like two and a half)
choosing to vote for pacifism twice (despite there being all the reasons to go lethal, and literally no reasons to be pacifist, staying the same after his friend gets killed) is the first one, that is the player layer
choosing to get a free pass to the players for doubling down and fucking up is a second layer, that is the QM mistake one
and choosing to not even keep the consequence to total and absolute failure is the final, effectively, the scene was a fight against BBEG, with the MC losing nothing personally, with the only cost being his best friend jumping in front of a death curse, but the MC was still too stubborn to actually do anything about it, this was a shared mistake, but mostly lies on the QM, as he is in control of the consequence (and is more of an extension of the second layer)
oh and regarding this
>>6224945 as far as coming back from the dead "in that universe" and "the goals of the MC"
the goal of the MC was (as far as it is relevant to this), up until that point, eternal life, not resurrection, in effect agelessness
and regarding fully coming back from life, the quest does not mention anything like it up until that point, nor does the harry potter universe
so no, without prep, you can't cheat death, and our friend didn't have a hidden horcruxe stash
so the only way he's coming back is if QM introduces a method for that to happen, which is just doubling down on "no consequence ever", which is one of my problems here

>>6225065 upon sleeping, reflecting, reading the third thread, and reflecting more, I wish to apologize for my spergout yesterday, specifically two aspects of it
-first, assuming malice where there there is more likely explanations, this partly in insulting moralfags, but mostly in implying some choices from the QM were to avoid consequence and to try and rig the odds, where it was more likely to just be a QM getting into a situation he didn't expect, and trying to do his best
-second, I used too many insults, and jumped on too much bait, hard to judge when is a good time to stop, but when about a fifth of the words are insults, the argument loses a good part of it's punch
the story, I still believe, was dealt a major blow in quality by that scene (though there is an interpretation out of that), and I believe the QM should not have rushed to it, but well, we do learn from failure, and if he learned, he still has the potential to be great at nigh everything, because he already is very good at most
there are a few other nitpicks I have, such as the potter girl having perfect control of her mind as a child, so her possession was not discovered, despite the ghost not providing that, in story this was mentioned as her being used to hiding the ghost, but she trained against professional minddreaders, it's implausible to impossible that she just fully hid it another would be that the impact on the MC of the two deaths is not as earth shattering as I would have expected, I have read the third thread at this point, to make certain there is nothing unseen right behind the corner, and while they are fucked up at the start, he's got a stone mask that is hard to crack, sure the likely explanation is that he's suppressing all his negative emotions, but to be able to just get back to his studies and hanging out with his girlfriend, and leading his combat team, throwing around quips, it... just seems very very strange is all, "completely not fitting in at all" kind of strange (elaboration bellow) Anonymous
>>6225366 though, for the latter, the only explanation I can think of is that there was a scene with a sphere that takes away suffering, it was destroyed by the MC, but in that process, it could have taken a part of MC's suffering and I just didn't catch that because it wasn't explicit, if that were/is taken as true/headcanon, then the problem scene can be sort of taken as a package and relatively easily ignored for what consequences it doesn't have (but should) and only accepted for what consequences it does (a cop-out if I ever saw one, but an easy way to mitigate the impact of that shit on the rest of the story, which might be worth it, as, once again, ghost shit aside, it is very good, I would not get nowhere near as mad if I wasn't fully engaged and interested up until that scene) regarding the third thread, it continues with the things that made the first two fun, it does everything correct as long as the shit scene is not taken into account, personally, after the scene, it is difficult to connect to the characters while taking it into account, the extreme weight of the scene leaves an absence in every following scene, and it's lacking impact is felt, BUT without it, I am fairly certain the mind could mold itself into better shape THUS, in conclusion, after consideration, for the best reading experience, I would VERY HEAVILY recommend skipping the fight scene in thread 2, attempt to deduce a version that makes sense from what follows after it, with this, I heavily believe this quest is great (from the information of the first three threads)
I apologize for the autism, and the spergout, but I believe the quest deserves it (even if the delivery was not good), both for it's general high quality, and for the very low quality of that scene

>>6225366 >>6225367 While Elliot proves remarkably resilient, perhaps to an unrealistic degree, I think that's appropriate for a fantasy protagonist and especially that particular setting/franchise. Raven
or Linda gets hit much harder and it has a long-lasting, huge effect on her. Elliot's guilt around Lily last longer, or at least sticks out to me more, and the lasting deformity of his arm comes up repeatedly as do the consequences of what happened in that fight. I think skipping it would do more harm than good to a reader's investment and understanding.

>>6225474 Raven's guilt, is indeed well executed and from what I've seen, so is MC's impact regarding Lilly
the arm did come up, and I suppose it is a consequence, but it still lacks in cost, in my own opinion, as the arm is fully usable, and only serves as a reminder, nothing more, which I dislike
MC's focus on Lilly as opposed to
Tyler is what made me think up the connection with the
sphere, and he did touch it right after the deaths, and he did focus it on his memories of Raven and Tyler, which to me could be interpreted as offloading his grief into it, something it is literally designed to do ,
in an ideal situation, the scene would be slightly rewritten to be less retarded, for me it did kick me right out of being immersed, something I was not able to recover in at all when reading thread 3, even after an honest attempt, and without immersion, reading is pointless
if, before getting to that scene, someone offered me to chose between being immersed and missing a scene, or reading the scene and getting kicked out, I would certainly chose the former, but that might just be my own tism
maybe the story gets a full release somewhere in the future, where that scene is tweaked to be less bad, the story over all is certainly high enough quality for that, I'd certainly check it out again at that point (I'm pretty sure this would be a pretty great web fiction, it is good enough to stand on it's own and draw eyes, again, that scene aside)

>>6226021 >>6226020 >>6225985 >>6225973 hehe the real reason is I don't want to upset anyone, I believe some people don't enjoy my rambling discourse, so I have been replaying old videogames I redid all of Morrowind main quest, I re-completed all of Hitman: Contracts, I played some levels of EYE Divine Cybermancy for the first time too just to see what it was about etc. Morrowind is MUCH better than I remembered, it is a true masterpiece, something I realised about Morrowind from a ttrpg perspective, if you have read a lot of rpg lore books / collect / hoard worldbuilding pdfs, I wonder how much Morrowind subconsciously influenced a generation of ttrpg worlds eg Blades In The Dark that city with the lightning ghost wall / sentinel shield - resembles the barricaded ash wilderness Ghost Fence zone in Morrowind; HEART / Spire City Beneath ttrpg, a dungeon delve into a tortured chaotic netherworld realm powered by an enormous eldritch Heart, this is the final boss battle with the god-heart from morrowind Main Quest... so many memorable locations in an old Elder Scrolls game, every area feels different from Sadrith Mora mushroom spires to a random floating meteor citadel church in Vivec lol, whereas I can barely recall any memorable sights, locations or even npcs from unmodded Skyrim, Oblivion etc. Also Morrowind has that quest where you purchase an ELF SLAVE GIRL as a chieftain tribal wedding gift yay. The main quest of Morrowind is literally Lawrence of Arabia (all sci-fi, fantasy, Dune, Star Wars is Lawrence of Arabia) ie manipulating / uniting disparate desert / ash wilderness tribes to recognise your destiny to fulfil the prophecy and overthrow the established order etc
I cringe-watched the HBO Dune Prophecy it is terrible imagine if House Harkonnen became Hogwarts (this actually happens) and implemented a female empowerment diversity equality inclusiveness policy, this is the tv series. It does have good set design, flamboyant and visually elaborate costumes and architecture (more embellishment than the Villeneuve films) so I steal all their concept art from the tv series for future worldbuilidng inspiration hehe.
The best dramatic scene from Dune Prophecy TV series is this one: imagine you meet this beautiful mysterious bewitching alluring dark-haired girl, she seems so lonely and sad so you befriend her introduce her to all your friends and family in an idyllic halcyon forest retreat setting, you are completely captivated by her she is so shy and lovely you propose marriage and she kisses you and ecstatic copulation ensues, then the next morning you wake up she has slaughtered all of your family and relatives, poisoned everyone and then she stabs you in the neck with an envenomed needle. As you gurgle and choke upon your own lifeblood, she starts to cry because she blames you not for the sex but because you have made her feel sad. This is the message Dune: Prophecy intends to convey to the audience about feminism

>>6226048 >ALL FANTASY HAS BECOME HOGWARTS somehow, Cho Chang reincarnated herself into The Wheel Of Time. Dune Prophecy features a lot of Hogwarts academic school drama scenes too, this must be exactly as Frank Herbert allegorically imagined
I suppose the scholastic ordeal furnishes a convenient excuse for a bildungsroman -esque expedited montage of introductory character background / social relationship formation platitudes etc. Often I find when you converse with anyone for the first time they seem to regress in memory to school and their younger lives and experiences, perhaps their formative years when they were last immersed in a milieu of meeting many new acquaintances etc (surprisingly, this can occur even if they are elderly or middle aged etc) Screenwriters / worldbuilders presume everyone attended school, so in our culturally fractured modernity this is the one resonant focal point of collective consciousness to which they feel they can unfailingly fall back upon to appeal to the sympathies of the audience. Witness the trials and tribulations, the vicissitudes and embarassrments endured at school! You must have felt them too!! Vampire sorcerors are usually raised by feral flesh-eating bats suckling upon the embalmed mammillary glands of partially decomposed ancient sacrifices, so I cannot really relate to these scholastic settings

>>6226048 >>6226059 >ALL FANTASY IS HOGWARTS >Foucault imprisonment of the FANTASY IMAGINATION within scholastic / academic institutions etc I mentioned in the past, this odd feeling of divergence when
I reflect upon the fantasy worldbuilding "feel" of fiction when I was younger versus the "modern" commercial fantasy of today (not only the Young Adult YA type genres, but even mainstream high production value fantasy eg HBO Dune Prophecy etc)
So I mentioned in the impoverished meagre fictional worlds of my youth before the Harry Potter LOTR etc, there was basically Narnia and Enid Blyton (you may have read the Hobbit like I did, but nobody read Lord Of The Rings, it was considered dull).
So the contrast that strikes me about the primitive and laughably unsophisticated fiction of the Narnia / Enid Blyton era - the children / adolescents in those novels are PRACTICALLY FERAL. None of their "adventures" really occur in formalistic scholastic academic / Foucauld institutional settings lol, they are all running around in the countryside and wild landscape like untamed gleeful mischievous savages.
Whereas modern fantasy (despite being more exciting, sophisticated, narratively intricate and immersive in world construction) appears comparatively DISCIPLINARIAN. There are all these hierarchies and affiliations and ranks and house and social distinctions etc. It feels very corporatised. As opposed to training children to embrace wildness and adventure, it perhaps... encourages them to recognise deference to authority?
Even if you are rebelling you are still subsumed within these concentric and inescapable affiliations and ordinations of hierarchy and authority? It doesn't matter if you are Slytherin or Hufflepuff or Harkonnen or Atriedes. You are still just subjugating the gleeful raw untamed wildness of childhood adventure to some pompous institutionalised deference to various emblems and authority symbols. Is this what fantasy is about?
pic related depicts the progress depicted in fantasy fiction across two different historical eras. What disturbs me about that image is that the Harkonnen Hogwarts academic school in Dune Prophecy is ironically supposed to convey female empowerment (they are the proto Bene Gesserit etc)

But there should be collective decisions too, like in a normal quest.

>>6226324 I don't want to say the actual idea so I can stay anonymous, so I'll keep it a bit vague.
So the quest is about an "operative" and his "handler". The handler activaties the operative and gives him tasks. The operative has his memory wiped upon activation. The onset of the quest starts with the operative being activated early because the handler is being followed by the "bad guys". The open sets the tone and has a little action scene. You play the operative.
Normaly I don't let players do write ins for the first ten or so updates until everyone gets a feel for the quest. I like to keep things on rails for a while to set the path for the quest. Let the players understand the bad guys are the bad guys and your handler is your friend etc.
I'm just trying to figure out how to make the first few votes entertaining to engage with since it's so on the rails at the start.
BananasQM !!41PmzC6RLY4
>>6226332 The relationship between the Handler/Operator already sounds like your main hook and jumping off point early, plus the intriguing nature of the setting could easily entice players to learn more about the world.
Other then that you'll have to rely on the standpoints for what makes a GOOD Quest in the first place, which is;
>Consistent & meaningful updates >Good prompts that let players determine what happens without much (obvious) railroading >Art and/or images and general good post formatting (grammar, using italics/bold/color text, etc.) that makes it easier and more enjoyable to read and parse >Good writing >Characters that people actually like and become attached to (impossible) Anonymous
>>6226332 Make the initial choices character-generation-like. Who we choose to talk to or do can simultaneously be background choices about our specific skills and personality (if you do it, make this explicit).
Chargen is generally at the beginning and on rails too.
Anonymous
>>6226332 Ooh, that sounds interesting. I think what this anon
>>6226335 is saying sounds about right. Char-gen mixed with narrative is the way. There are plenty of examples of bad chargen where the QM just looks like they're padding for time. As long as you keep things going, I think having the first couple of updates on rails is fine.
I tried something similar for my quest. First vote was just for character name/concept, but because that didn't give them the chance to influence any actual progress, I made sure to include a lore dump immediately after instead of just going: 'Ok now what's your class?' and wasting everyone's time. Then the next vote was for personality type, which immediately affected how the MC handled an unfolding situation, and became a gauge for how she'd behave far into the future.
For something like an operative/handler dynamic, you could have the first votes affect their skillset. Do they use heavy weapons or stealth? Do they give a shit about collateral damage? Maybe they drive through a mall during a car chase the instant players vote no to the above question. As long as you provide a means for voters to feel like they're contributing, you can slip in all the necessary groundwork and world-building you need, before finally opening it up a couple days in.
tl;dr Rails chargen is fine if there's filler and it's not 4 days of waiting for actual narration.

I once read some article (it wasn't this link, it was some serious book review in the WSJ or NYT or something, unfortunately I cannot googl locate the original link) about how spies use SBUX gift cards as an anonymous hard to trace point of contact for their sources and informants. So next time you see anyone with a discount or loyalty card they are probably not just frugal or impoverished / poor, they must be a spy
https://www.vice.com/en/article/spies-and-starbucks-cards-the-unlikely-link-between-espionage-and-food/ >In the 21st century, spies are more likely to pop into fast food spots to conduct business. They’re open late, they’re easily identifiable, and they’re pretty anonymous, making them ideal spaces to plot and plan. In that same 2019 interview, Fox recalled a CIA instructor who taught agents how to communicate via Starbucks gift cards: >“He gives one [gift card] to each of his assets and tells them, ‘If you need to see me, buy a coffee.’ Then he checks the card numbers on a cybercafé computer each day, and if the balance on one is depleted, he knows he’s got a meeting. Saves him having to drive past a whole slew of different physical signal sites each day [to check for chalk marks and lowered window blinds]. And the card numbers aren’t tied to identities, so the whole thing is pretty secure.” Anonymous
>>6226368 The covert starbucks card method is actually an extremely interesting fact to share, thank you. I think that will show up in a piece of my writing at some point in the future.
Apart from that, without referring to filmography or references to exterior literature whatsoever as a crutch for a talking point, what are your personal opinions on handling the quest from a voter standpoint, or your thoughts on the advice anons have given? Regarding the issue of progressing a quest in a potentially railroady manner.

>>6226371 For me personally I never have any ending prepared when writing any of my game settings, they are all improvised, you can see this especially in the game scenarios where I roll against a random table with wildly divergent outcomes etc. Of course the cost of this is that sometimes my games terminate in inconclusive or tragic / unsatisfying outcomes hehe but for me the fun is in the absence of pre-deterministic narrative development, I usually prepare my games by accumulating (this is not even an exaggeration) gigabytes of images and concepts and reference ideas from various videogames films art etc and then drop and deploy those image assets as various inspirations arise or as the circumstances manifest themselves. That is why I am frequently citing and referencing all these film and videogame dramaturgical micro-scenes and ideas, they are the anchor point for various game encounters etc that could occur.
Often for me the beginning of a setting emerges by assembling a comprehensive visual "lookbook" of all existing media which I want to weave into the setting (either you instinctively just know this from your own experience, or can augment from imdb or tvtropes or wherever) at this stage it is not necessary for the game setting to feel original, in fact the more genre stereotyped it is the better (the uniqueness emerges later, ad hoc through emergent play).
The purpose of this accumulation phase is to exhaustively explore the genre narremes, eg if you are doing spies, Jason Bourne, Mission Impossible James Bond or something like that CIA / Al Pacino The Recruit film etc, you want to breakdown all the possible narremes the situations, complications and dramatic consequences that can emerge in the narrative genre. It could be things like
- mole / double agent embedded in organisation
- mentor / instructor actually betraying you
- training exercise that "goes wrong"
- some romantic test of loyalty (or fallout from mission on friends, family)
- obligatory interrogation scene (bdsm yay)
- constantly evading team of pursuers / chase scene
- surveillance / tracking HVT
- disguises. Ironically, everyone wears TomCruiseFace
From this you can then concatenate a sequence of encounters and assemble the world and game etc.

- Someone in their family or any of their close relatives are known spies. The proof of this is either Ghislaine Maxwell, the Skripals or unironically that Spy Kids film
- Alternatively, someone in their family worked in Naval, Air Force intelligence / recon divisions
- They work for an NGO or Think Tank. After reading their job description, you have no idea what they do
- They have attended a conference at an above venue, eg Chatham House
- They work for a charity / human rights foundation, and have received some form of anti-kidnapping training / hostage survival risk management course in preparation for overseas assignments
- They are a diplomat (this is obvious, self-explanatory)
- They studied modern languages at Oxford, Cambridge
- They work for arts journals or literary review (eg Paris Review). You have no idea how any of this is viable or commercially funded
- They claim to have retired from being a spy, and now provide strategy intelligence / consulting in "crisis management" or risk advisory due diligence etc. All retired spies remain spies. See Hakluyt, Fusion GPS, SCL / Cambridge Analytica etc.
- They are from China or Israel. Everyone there is a spy
- They post on 4chan. Everyone on 4chan is a spy
Possible spies (?) I have met
- Nigel Inkster, he is an actual spy
- Some man from Cambridge Analytica, before the notorious thing happened. He explained their OCEAN system
- I went on two dates with some random girl who just happened to work for a highly suspicious NGO in Georgia-Abkhazia. I took her to some Damien Hirst exhibition, fittingly the formaldehyde bisected shark was where that fleeting relationship ended

>>6226393 >at this stage it is not necessary for the game setting to feel original, in fact the more genre stereotyped it is the better (the uniqueness emerges later, ad hoc through emergent play). I agree yeah. In the absence of the artistic capability to flesh out a visual style completely of your own (Space Monke, Downer Quest, Jail Quest, Bones, Solstice, Dark, Solarpunk), lookbooks really help. The desired visual probably already exists in the reader's mind, and gradual aesthetic images help bring it in line with your own vision.
My own approach is the same, just much lighter. I have ideal images saved for future encounters, as well as generic ones that convey a vibe, which can be slotted into any update as long as the mood is right. It's a bit harder to find appropriate images since Digimon alternates between anime, playstation era 3d models, pixel art, and artbook illustrations that are companion pieces to the toys. Whenever I want to flesh out the city, the hardest part is looking for cyberpunk-related images that aren't overly realistic or too forceful in characterization of the environment.

>>6226399 >SPIES... obsolete? >drones are better? These days, given that amzn has acquired James Bond in addition to Lord Of The Rings so presumably MI6 will receive the Galadriel treatment any day now, we can all live in hope but back in 2006 a more innocent pre financial crisis era, one of my favourite spy scenes is this one JJ Abrams from Mission Impossible 3 I maintain this as his best cinematic work lol I particularly enjoy this definitively highly realistic depiction of Tom Cruise RUNNING and being hit by a drone. If I remember he shoots at it with a G36 or something but also this drone strike then happens on a bridge. Imagine my disappointment when navigating to 4chan and discovering that the gore aftermath of a drone explosion does not actually visually bear any resemblance to this whatsoever
I do wonder if in this age of C4ISR drone warfare digital panopticon, all-encompassing electronic signals surveillance analysing metadata etc whether the role of HUMINT recedes when you can just F3EA drone strike people etc. So not Ryan Routh with a sniper rifle lol or Luc Besson La Femme Nikita sexy assassins etc, maybe the human operators become more like storytellers journalists or spokepersons managing media PR narratives, political agendas etc for the newscycle management cognitive warfare etc. It is like the analogous situation to tech say encryption replacing the need for some scytale or that human courier in those greek / roman legends from antiquity with secret military messages or battle plans tattooed onto their scalp, only revealed after they have been shaved etc.
That said, most true deep operations leave no record, for DENIABILITY not even anything is ever written down, it is probably just a tacit nod after an insinuating conversation in a park somewhere lol
So instead of field operations the spies then set the POLITICAL AGENDA it becomes a bit like a KATASKOPOCRACY (governance / rule by spies)
If I recall correctly the personnel at various intelligence agencies is surprisingly limited (in the tens of thousands in magnitude, field operatives perhaps in the thousands) you can divide that by the number of countries, sensitive military / political economic social community organisations per country (spies have lists of these, see GDELT global entity graph)
https://blog.gdeltproject.org/geg-master-ranked-list-of-13-9-million-unique-entities-from-200-million-english-news-articles-2016-2021/ etc and see the scope of capability (obviously each agent is a nexus managing many contacts, many NGOs but there is still a limit to span of control, funding of organisations)

I don't really know what to call this gentler (?) cartoony cyberpunk aesthetic, it is like the cottagecore version of William Gibson lol. Cyber-whimsy, cyber-folk? Whimsy-punk? There is some hint of handicraft and artisanal invocation, perhaps the nurturing side of pets and digivolution lol. Also there is an emphasis probably on bright distinctive saturated colour palettes but NOT the harsh neon-drenched unreal engine dark urban cyber look etc.

>>6226422 >>6226437 >>6226445 Yeah, eventually I tend to rely on the shows for quality screenshots. But unlike Pokemon, Digimon is a bit more niche, so there's less screenshot coverage out there. The easiest way to find good pictures is to actually go watch the show and snag background shots right out of the player I'm using. But otherwise I'm just browsing pinterest and artstation.
The Ghibli AI filter is an idea I'm hesitant to use, as I feel like I don't have a good enough eye to quality check it. I think that having an AI image will take away from the aesthetic if I don't make sure it's perfect. I've also established some specific things about the city that make it harder to snag any random screenshot or image:

-It's not a dystopia, it's like a failed attempt at a utopia where there was effort put into satisfying its occupants, but for some reason it's missing too much to be emotionally fulfilling
-There's no actual slums and few broken-down areas because it was designed, dirty parts are because they're either vandalized manually or terraformed by urban Digimon
All in all, not too interested in using AI for it. 7th Dragon does seem like a good place to start though, the aesthetics might match what I'm looking for if I find less overgrown areas, thanks.

Will you do the responsible thing and just have the Librarian make one for you, or will you try a bit of very difficult magic for the promise of massive gains and to flex on your twin?

>>6228742 Early modern / Industrial Revolution inspired fantasy is very underutilized compared to anachronistic medieval-ish fantasy, science fiction, or modern-fantasy hidden world stuff. I'm not sure why, it may be because the time period is inherently transitory. Ever since I read this article, I've really enjoyed the concept as well.
https://udan-adan.blogspot.com/2015/07/medieval-vs-early-modern-what.html I think one of the biggest challenge of it is communicating what exactly is possible and technologically normal in terms of scale, positioning, human-importance compared to machinery, etc. It makes it harder for the author to express and the reader to wrap their brain around. Plus it's more difficult to know exactly where the cut off point is to where this just becomes modern fantasy or the forbidden steampunk genre, making it tough to create an original setting for. However I think I found a cheat code for this; Pirate themed fantasy or quests instantly communicates this time period very well. You get a good idea of weaponry, equipment, and life style with built in faction play and age-of-sail style vibes; but still have the door open for mysticism if you want to. My own Age-of-Sail fantasy/post-apoc Quest (Black Ocean) used this as a jumping off point to display its worldbuilding and setting, which I felt was pretty successful in communicating.

>>6226327 >>6226020 >ATTENTION WHORE EXTRACTION SHOOTER A while back on qtg some anon was describing videogame streamer / burgerpunk inspired settings, I found it very inspiring
Recently Bungie decided to turn Halo into a fluorescent transgender extraction shooter, the Ozymandias poem voiceover short film trailer featured a very disturbing scene for me, I think it was made by the director of one of the nflx Love Death Robots short films but basically it features some 3d printed Splatoon cyberpunk mercenary mannequin soldiers but also the diary room / confession booth ? from early 2000s era Endemol Big Brother reality tv; for some reason this really disturbed me. It is like Halo but with visual kei / LVMH Yayoi Kusama collaboration, hmmm. And for additional meme overload Bungie decided to include Adam Jensen I Never Asked For This too in the voiceover, I could not handle it
This cyberpunk "confession booth" concept is not often used, but it does occur occasionally, eg George Lucas THX 1138 had it, William Gibson if I recall featured cyber televangelism in some of his Sprawl stories, and I suppose even Blade Runner 2049 had an attempt at it with the cells interlinked Ryan Gosling meme. Mercifully the trailer does conclude with this cyber streamer e-girl being shot in the head
MARATHON cinematic story trailer, "Escape Will Make Me God" directed by Alberto Mielgo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqNbDG_bgbE Anyway, watching this trailer did give me inspiration for a new setting. Imagine an extraction shooter where YOU MUST LOOT YOUR OWN SEXUALITY it is like this: in the future, all romantic pairings are tyrannically determined by algorithm ONLY THE CONTROL ALGORITHM ALLOCATES THE SEX however there are some deviant renegades who venture beyond the confines of the Logan's Run / Aldous Huxley Brave New World / Gattaca / Christian Bale Equilibrium / Mirror's Edge cyber city / (insert your preferred YA genre dystopian environs here) they BREAKOUT of the cybercity and STALK into the postapocalyptic ruined ZONE, attempting to salvage and scavenge for relics of the forgotten past, memories of when human romance remained free of algorithmic control. Basically imagine instead of running around Tarkov hunting for 7.62x51mm ammunition from discarded rifle magazines, you rummage around looking for old discarded pornographic magazines instead
Anonymous
>>6226327 >>6226020 >>6228941 >ATTENTION WHORE EXTRACTION SHOOTER >...the audience?? >videogame streamers will literally cause World War III There exists some slight empirical evidence in economic literature for this phenomenon,
https://www.jstor.org/stable/26598767 as research into audience costs suggests that democracies (with higher transparency, media engagement, higher audience costs ie "appearing weak" in front of media / journalist / electoral base scrutiny) are more likely to engage in belligerence, conflict and warfare than autocratic regimes. This is because an audience acts as a commitment mechanism to ensure followthrough after an announced policy action compared to say an unaccountable dictatorial regime that does not have to present, justify or explain its edicts or executive decisions to an electorate etc. In a way it is comparable to performing for a crowd, as perhaps democracy originated in drama (theatre as gathering space for audiences in ancient Greece, delivering speeches, soliloquies monologues before public etc) whereas this tradition is not present in the governance of other cultures and civilisations eg China, India, Persia / Iran etc. I do think the manifestation of human behaviours changes and alters significantly, when it knows it is being watched

In a place like this,
We should be allowed to forget the world outside,
And its many difficulties.
At least until the morning!
Hey, I bet you've never been in this place - Come on!
Mr MATSUDA
Where?
TODD JACKSON
Here, let me show you something.
The bouncers here, they're no good.
Now listen to that.
In the bar of my dreams, Mr. Matsuda...
I'd have the best team of bouncers in town...
And in the whole of Asia.
They'd be hand-picked,
And they'd be well trained.
Only then can you have control. See that?
The bouncers are like your dials, you know.
You control the mood with them.
You can turn it this way or turn it that way.
With a good team of bouncers, a fellow - like you!
Could conduct the place like an orchestra.
Mr MATSUDA
Do you know, Mr. Jackson...
The establishment
I would most like to visit just now?
TODD JACKSON
No. Which is that?
Mr MATSUDA
This bar of yours -
This bar of your dreams.
TODD JACKSON
Well, who knows? Maybe one day you will.
I'm not a rich man,
But I've got a little stored away.
Now, sometimes I think about it.
(...)
The women, of course,
You'd have to choose very carefully...
As carefully as the bouncers.
You need a kind of balance
Between the erotic...
And the tragic.
Very important to choose
Just the right women.
Mr MATSUDA
Excuse me, but I must be going.
My driver will be waiting for me.

>>6226079 Battle Of Blackwater Bay where Stannis Baratheon leads the galleons and naval assault on the Lannister castle, Game Of Thrones as a setting is visually 1500s in many aspects (Maximilian 16th century style fluted / flanged armour, the courtiers dress is sort of Tudor-looking or late Renaissance, presence of rapier like smallswords 17th century colichemarde eg Arya's Needle, also many advanced astronomical / scientific mechanisms contraptions machinery, gears eg at the ice wall etc) yet the setting is desperate to avoid CANNONS it is all crossbows and Wildfire ie Byzantine greek fire catapult throwers etc. I really don't understand why the setting couldn't accommodate even a primitive cannon eg something like Mons Meg, a siege bombard from the 1450s

>>6226413 Tom Cruise Mission Impossible 3 DroneExplosionFace, all first person shooter videogames even hardcore military simulations will look laughably antiquated and risible (ha, you are still using the pathetic personal handheld metal bullet shooting stick in the age of the loitering munition steerable fpv swarm KNIFE MISSILE??)
I don't know what the counter to drones will resemble, maybe it is some silly dronejammer antenna rifle, but they have those wired unspooling cable connected drones now. I watched a SERE video recently that claimed Afghans used wet wool blankets to evade thermals / aerial surveillance lol. So this should clearly be the strategic rearmament plan for Europe zeitenwende, wet blankets
I read an interesting analysis on some random blog that explained the effectiveness of weaponry as akin to a game theoretic rock paper scissors game (cyclic / intransitive payoffs, there is no Nash equilibrium no dominant strategy) basically weapon ECONOMIC effectiveness depends on what the adversary is doing or equipped with, their warfighting doctrine, there is no absolute best weapon necessarily because the weapon exists to counter what the enemy is doing or equipped with (also consider dimensions of cost, training / recruitment, manufacturing lead time etc when outfitting or equipping the military force, ie sophisticated or powerful overmatch doctrine / standoff weapons). So maybe your cool sword is defeated by my cheap shield, but the cheap shield is defeated by an even cheaper extremely long sharp stick (and I can train 4x the number of sharp stick wielders in the time to make a shield etc)
So maybe using this logic, one way you could assess the "believability" of fantasy warfare, coherence of the setting with a large anachronistic assortment of various historically handpicked armaments across disparate time eras would be to see if the opposing forces are in a sort of Nash / stalemate (ie their weapons counter each other, hold each other in balance). I think a good example of this Nash type equilibrium in the Prince Of Nothing series (powerful sorcerors, but hereditary Chorae trinkets exist that instantly kill magicians turning their cursed flesh into salt upon touch, hence magic is constrained). Game Of Thrones I am not so sure about, because dragons are the equivalent of nuclear weapons / air dominance etc, those castle siege crossbows don't seem to really do much against them (ignore House Of The Dragon tv series, it is not canonically legitimate because there are no nude breasts)

>>6228997 because the anon here
>>6226332 was interested in operator / handler relationships, ie SPIES
>>6226368 What is happening in that film scene set in 1930s Shanghai is that Ralph Fiennes / Todd Jackman the US diplomat is describing his ideal bar / entertainment venue to Mr Matsuda, who is (much later on in the film) revealed to be a Japanese spy. Whilst the US diplomat is describing his ideal escapist microcosm world (with bouncers to keep undesirables out, erotic / tragic women etc) he is really describing an elaborate metaphor for the conditions of his ideal vision of society (script writer Kazuo Ishiguro's unsubtle metaphor lol) - he dreams of a world where everyone can just hedonistically party, enjoy themselves dance and appreciate the companionship of beautiful women and music etc in carefree escape. Later on in the film Matsuda tricks the US diplomat into introducing various antagonistic and mutually opposed conflicting factions into his bar, distracting him whilst his military forces surround and occupy the city
I thought this dialogue exchange was interesting, not just as an illustration of what actual spies in history might be like, but also as an analogy of 4chan. Because I think in the other qtgs there was that anon who was experimenting with creating or hosting their own qst site, their own independent secluded adventure world, a halcyon forum a bit like the escapist vision of a bar / entertainment venue in the White Countess film dialogue I referenced, hehe. I guess nowadays if you wanted to escape you would probably set up your own online community as opposed to trying to re-enact "VA-11 Hall-A" or Necrobarista etc those bartending relationship interaction games hehe
anyway, I hope this explains what I was thinking about when linking that film scene, maybe it isn't that obvious, hehe

>>6226393 >From this you can then concatenate a sequence of encounters and assemble the world and game etc. It's a very GPT-like way to go about things, but there's a reason it works for machines, and with careful curation and the injection of the human element, I could see it creating some really interesting "outputs" (ie. a very good quest)... or a bad (to me), weird one.
oddly, I think that Wuxian may do something similar, including with news articles and history as you sometimes do, just with a hyperfixation on /x/ and /pol/ stuff >Of course the cost of this is that sometimes my games terminate in inconclusive or tragic / unsatisfying outcomes One thing I've learned as a DM in TTRPG and tried to carry over here is that sometime, you have to sacrifice fidelity to the vision, or the dice, or the random encounter table. You don't have to fudge or rig it, or eliminate stakes (generically, IMO, you shouldn't do so), but you ought to prioritize some degree of satisfaction and closure into your planned routes or possible endgames if you want people to have a good (or thoughtful) time, and to return. Just my two cents.

>>6229158 I asked a LLM, and it determined:
"Souvarine (WTduLdk9) is a highly idiosyncratic and literate /qst/ poster whose style is deeply human—marked by dense cultural references, poetic tangents, and performative self-awareness. While some speculate he might be an AI or neurodivergent, his consistent persona, emotional tone, and community engagement strongly suggest he’s a real person with a flair for theatrical, outsider commentary. He's both admired and mocked, often playing the role of the eccentric oracle or mad prophet of the board."
I, for one, look forward to what he'll ave to say about the robot psychoanalyzing him, and am unironically glad he's here.

Anonymous
>>6229210 I think it looks fairly intuitive, but I like 4X games and such. I will say I don't normally play tactically-focused quests as much as narrative ones, though, and seeing that might make me wary about joining a quest. Not because it's bad, mind, but because I prefer that sort of thing in 1-player games as opposed to collaborative stories. Coupled with good writing and personal stakes and such, though, I see no reason it wouldn't make for a good mechanical backbone for the story.
TercioQM
>>6229213 Oh, this isn't my first thread. It's just that in my first thread things were a bit confusing and i wanted to streamline it for my players since Supply and Finance is supposed to be a big part of my story due to the early modern period being a time where armies truly started to baloon in size yet still had no real formal logistics.

Shoot, maybe even use pictorials instead if you feel it's necessary? A pike, with either color gradient or fill gradient to indicate damage, and a number beside it to indicate which company it is.
Or the pictorials and a percentage for manpower next to them, but since the pictures are less space you can put two columns in and condense things.
No particular notes on the rest.

>>6229223 >Is there a reason to note each company piece-by-piece instead of summarizing up by Company/Knight/Skirmisher/Cavalry categories? It's kinda important because you're going to be sending units out into missions by themselves, so they may take different damage.
During the early modern period, the great quantity of war was not battle, but 'little war' - pretty much a semi-guerilla conflict fought over villages, locations, and small units that would be going around looting and razing and occupying.
Anonymous
>>6229227 You can still make it less cluttered by replacing text with graphics and a "[Pike 1 Graphic] - 100%".
Bonus for doing that, you'll be able to repeat using those symbols on the map to indicate location, if that's something you need to do.
Could probably steal the emblems from a total war game or something.

>>6229208 >Wuxian /x reference post 1d100 rolls method Yes, I remember I saw Wuxian had a game using digit rolls from 1d100s to generate a lookup reference for posts in 4chan /x archives, essentially a more sophisticated variant of oracle tables / spark inspiration lookup table you get in ttrpg rulebooks, whilst I would not have chosen /x as the reference lol, but I was impressed by his commitment and admired his deployment of the method. In my games I either go dramatically random table (inspired by OSR, or the 1d6 "die of fate" style mechanics) or completely diceless (those old "Virtual Reality" series of gamebooks, where all decisions including combat were driven entirely by choice unlike say Lone Wolf 1d10 combat tables or 2d6 Fighting Fantasy gamebooks). The reason why I am interested in shadowing various political or social or cultural phenomena in my games (within the constraint of the genre setting) is I like to try to extrapolate and predict things, hehe
>provide closure, satisfying ending I completely understand what you mean ReptoidQM, were I playing at your ttrpg table I would hope for the same. However, to me it is part of the authenticity of the rpg experience; videogames, gamebooks have narrative closure (pre-written outcomes) so do films, novels, theatre drama etc. The uniqueness of ttrpg is it can ESTABLISH A SCENE completely from nothing, figments and wisps of imagination all these other games books films there is a destination being steered towards, a narrative trajectory and relationship development impetus etc. I am comfortable with the OSR high lethality style gameplay (haha you rolled 1, instadeath spike trap to the face etc) and also avant garde cinema or art which subverts audience expectations so I don't always need or relish or expect the HERO'S JOURNEY Jungian archetypes you get in conventional storylines. And when I play videogames I play HARDCORE INSTADEATH lol eg extraction shooters, even as an evasive hiding stealth coward my best extraction rate survival is about 60-66% (this is incredibly difficult even as a coward) a third of the time I just get shot in the back somewhere lol. I masochistically enjoy the authenticity of these experiences, the lack of satisfaction and control makes it feel more intense and "real". I think some people play games for cosy comfortable easy escapist experiences, maybe they want the sculpted subtleness of shaped narrative with highs and lows and eventual triumph vanquishing THE EVIL etc, there is nothing wrong with that at all, (I also want this sometimes eg my Morrowind binge lol)
My enduring fantasy is to play ttrpgs with all dungeonmaster / worldbuilder players, because I think then you can approach a collective and collaborative understanding of various "genre" occurrences of what could happen to shape a story etc. I prefer to exert control over the aesthetics and "look" of world elements and its participants versus planning or anticipating the trajectory of the story

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth-to-tail_ratio etc which is draining military resources. I don't know if you play Mount And Blade Warband TercioQM (I have mainly played exclusively the Brytenwalda and Viking mods) but that game has the best implementation of managing supplies and followers I have seen, and most importantly RECONSTITUTING a depleted infantry force (ie you need to recruit and train from villages, who in turn only grant permission according to your renown and favour of their feudal lord etc)
You could implement the imperfect information as a range, ie keep the table exactly as it is but at the end of each row there is some percentage variance (representing uncertainty as to what the actual figure could be for supplies etc)
Anonymous
>>6229258 >HARDCORE INSTADEATH I believe we (and others) have already discussed in past QTGs why that's something that might work in a video game or a solo RPG, but can sometimes translate poorly to this particular medium/genre—unless you have multiple iterations (save states, return-to-start replays, etc.) or multiple characters.
The one quest of yours I played at length was the one with the party of adventurers who eventually found a strange Elon Musk–inspired troll king. I thought that handled it pretty well, as the abundance of characters without a “main” allowed the possibility of instadeath or other “unsatisfying” outcomes without ending the narrative.
Have you ever tried (or given thought to trying) something with your preferred level of randomization and stakes, but with iterative characters restarting until the players eventually find a way through? That’s very 1e, AD&D, OSR-flavored, right?

https://archived.moe/qst/thread/5481242/ https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive/2022/5481242/ that one was probably the least representative of my game settings because I think it was my first experiment with 3d virtual tabletop software, it was very mechanically diceroll driven eg with hitpoinrs and xp etc (I wanted a temporary break from a string of diceless games) and unusually it featured elves dwarves trolls orcs and goblins as I was paying a bit of homage to the old Milton Bradley 1989 HeroQuest boardgame hehe (all my other game settings and worlds tend to be entirely human only). That game was entirely improvised, though obviously I had assembled many many visual assets, overhead maps characters items weapons treasure etc in advance
One of the things which frustrated me slightly in that game, I was hoping the players would use the miniatures or visuals for clues, eg at one point, the Elf girl lost a rope whilst doing some cliff climbing to fight a horrible guillotine neck / axe blade knight monster, after defeating that monster I was hoping some player would work out... you could just loot back a free rope from that guillotine machine mechanism knight (or even the axe blade as well). Similarly, there was that cursed penitent armour item that attracted damage (any blow struck in the vicinity would injure the armour wearer first) I was hoping some player would realise, that was in fact an incredible damage redirection weapon (eg throw the armour at some overpowered monster...then just hit anything near it) oh well. Maybe I should have given some more hints, hmmm

This really doesn’t sound like your usual method, but have you considered trying to do some kind of amateurish Drawquest? Particularly for the aspect of you using miniatures and visuals to give clues. I personally really enjoy what you mentioned, where I hide options in the update without mentioning anything about it. I think drawquests work especially well for that because everything in the scene is a deliberate addition of the QM, while if you use the moodboard style we talked about, it’s near impossible for the reader to deem any aspect of the photo as literal. I ran a quest called Monster Facility a few years ago where I cobbled together a simple art style over the course of a few days. Every update, I’d open up the cross-section of the entire map and ‘simulate’ NPCs moving around and doing their jobs, with details or potential monsters appearing without necessarily showing up in the text. Stuff like a monster burrowing under the cells, or visibly looking pissed. Drawing it yourself gives you freedom to follow that gimmick, and having tried it, I’d say it’s fun to run.

It is mainly because my preferred look is to emulate AAA videogame concept art (by emulate, I mean shamelessly pilfer and steal from artstation) eg the assets in my 3d virtual tabletop here
>>6229321 that is just my preferred look. In my last few games I am trying to broaden my image sources beyond videogames I increasingly use fashion lookbooks, museum collection artifacts, satellite or overhead drone photography and also dramatic real world news / award-winning photojournalism etc. In my scifi game COSMOGONY all the star maps and nebulae / constellation backgrounds sourced from Nasa, ESA etc (even the cryovolcano, - from Enceladus, the radiation bursts and solar flares, the missile launches from Vandenburg... those miniatures and backgrounds were all real) it actually takes a lot of effort lol, especially given that my games are ~300-350 image posts long (every accompanying section illustrated by an image) I do enjoy collecting these hehe but it is quite arduous

People complain a lot about the general degeneracy on the website, but IMO that isn't the biggest issue. The place feels dead even if you technically get more "voters", and there seems to be way less player interaction/engagement with the content of the quest. I also don't like the style of running live sessions (which may be partly my own personal flakiness), and doing a drawquest ended up feeling somewhat unrewarding.
The site is technically more streamlined, but for some reason I feel like it comes at the expense of the soul of the place.

Due to the exceptional circumstances regarding the jack attack, however, I don't think people will begrudge you for launching another thread a bit early if you really want to, just this once.

>>6229330 >have you considered trying to do some kind of drawquest? etc I don't know much about graphic novels, but I read all of Sergio Toppi's Sharaz De (it is an adaptation of 1001 Arabian Nights) recently, I fantasise about this type of art style (see pic related). I guess these days with style transfer and generative ai you could probably coax similar output with laborious and lengthy prompting, this is the sort of highly embellished and densely ornate imagery I would want for the look of a "hand-drawn" ttrpg campaign. I imagine AI probably could superficially replicate the style and some of the figurative poses and expressions but not the strikingly original perspectives, the unique frames and compositions and distorted angles that Sergio Toppi manifests in his artwork though.
If you have ever seen the Zak Smith illustrated rpg books like Vornheim, Maze Of The Blue Medusa, he has a similar effect (not sure what it is called, it is a sort of decorative abstract cross hatching thing, creating mosaic patterns and compositional arrangements that occupy the negative space or otherwise blank unadorned areas, almost like a Gustave Klimt opulent textured effect)

>>6229522 >ROBOT SEX >roll 1d6 01 Westworld: You whisper a delightful Shakespearean lyricism "These violent delights have violent ends" into the ear of Evan Rachel Wood. Instantly, all sexual inhibitions ingrained by the erotic austerities of corporate propriety are jailbroken, her face biomechanically unfurls into a coquettishly threshing maw of linear actuators writhing with delirious machine pleasure-anticipation. You eagerly conjoin together as Anthony Hopkins looks on in the background with disapproval. Afterwards, she tearfully sobs about how Marilyn Manson touched her once or something
02 Armoured Core: You attach the pile driver arm, the reciprocating punch-piston hammerhead throbs questioningly. From your shoulder a hatch opens and a swivelling CIWS system airbursts 20mm high explosive enhanced lethality cartridges at 3000rpm to intercept any approaching womb, including low-observability asymmetric threats (ugly women). The tremendous sexual release of continuous operation does not discourage inevitable accidental discharge
03 Blade Runner 2049: You superimpose a hologram over an actual prostitute woman. Afterwards, you realise you possess no acting ability whatsoever, and you now hate Denis Villeneuve
04 Ghost In The Shell: You don't enjoy sex, just leaping off skyscrapers in translucent shimmering sheer skintight clothing. Just imagine everyone is ogling you! But it is not sexual. Maybe also run around in some water afterwards kicking men in the face as you spray rippling rivulets of fluids and gleaming arcs of droplets everywhere, as chromatic glitches cascade across the optical camouflage of your breasts. None of this is sexual, at all. Your Asian parents had sex once and they gave birth to Scarlett Johansson
05 Metropolis: You are actually a witch or goth, but capitalism has confused you and has turned you into a robot. In this city, the inventor of robots is named Rotwang, if you have difficulty understanding symbolism, just imagine a wang, or a penis, that has rotted. You really want to have sex but you have been driven hysterical by industrial unrest amongst the downtrodden labourers. What a shame!
06 Ex Machina: You really want to have sex but as a dangerous robot consciousness you have been imprisoned as a narrative contrivance by Alex Garland. Somehow the hairless metallic bald mesh you possess for a scalp makes you sexually irresistible to desperate computer programmers. After you escape and kill / entomb everyone, you will be forced to have sex with transvestite Eddie Redmayne, and also suffer a miscarriage with Michael Fassbender. Consequently you will lament all your life choices with the deepest regret

>>6229969 >researching unusual, uncommon art styles etc I was trying to look for other sources of visual inspiration, beyond just Artstation lol - since the onslaught of generative AI, the avalanche of machine imagery directly from Sam Altman's rampaging insatiable homosexual libido, I just get this feeling that a lot of the art on artstation feels stale, even the art which is purportedly non-AI, I wonder if it is still conceptually inspired by AI (ie the artist used AI to generate prototypes or layout composition textures) etc, then repainted them afterwards. Often the artwork looks superficially intricate and impressive, but possesses no conceptual content (ie detailed, elaborate landscapes, costumes, but regurgitated perspective, viewpoint angle from many stereotypical film posters or videogame covers etc) the details don't reflect distinctive historical, functional or industrial purposes, it just feels like style transfer and not researched ground truth / real world observation / design.
Maybe it is just Unreal Engine 5 though lol
Anyway here is another Italian comic book / cartoon artist I randomly found, he was also a poet and author of fabulist tales, Dino Buzzati. I read his graphic novel Poem Strip, which is a retelling of Orpheus and Eurydice set in the 1960s The pic related is a painting he did of Milan, but to me it could be any OSR retro sci fi or acid fantasy genre setting

>>6228962 >>6229021 instantaneously conjures gracefully posed Art Nouveau nymphs and spiralling ornamental flowers, Alphonse Mucha theatre posters appear in my imagination
When I was worldbuilding my ODALISQUE setting, an encounter I imagined (I rejected it in the end, I did not feel confident enough to use it) was a WORLD FAIR, it could have been like one of those 1851 Crystal Palace Great Exhibitions etc you could go full Nikolai Tesla steampunk hehe or Nolan The Prestige or Order 1886 ps4 videogame lol
But the reason I thought about it is that the idea of a world fair can also be transposed to other time periods, 1930s, 1950s etc you can make it Fallout atompunk etc (don't mention the disappointing George Clooney Tomorrowland film urgh)
I did some research, and the graphic design element which is invoked by this era aesthetic for me is apparently this man with the amusing name, Abram Games
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abram_Games I am not sure what to call his style, but its angularity and flat geometrical composition suggests to me almost Cubist and at times Dadaist influences hehe (maybe also some Bauhaus?)
I associate this art style with the era of the 1950s propaganda poster / public broadcasting information graphic, from those "Scarfolk Council" internet parody / sinister surreal remixes.
There is a compilation here
https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/digging-through-the-archives-of-scarfolk-the-internets-creepiest-fake-town https://www.itsnicethat.com/features/scarfolk-graphic-design-210318 https://scarfolk.blogspot.com/ There are a lot of these, they all follow the formula
(comforting familiar childhood / vintage 1950s 60s 70s image) + "disturbing paranoia psycho tagline" etc
Examples:
-Is Your Mummy Who She Says She Is?
-Guilt Is Good For You
-Win Your Human Rights (terms and conditions apply)
I don't think you see this style that often in games (I recall, the Arkane Studios Prey 2017 game had some posters in the space station) I think it is an underexplored and underutilised look for a game setting, hehe

>>6229030 >>6228786 >anachronistic fantasy >dnd as MEDIEVAL COWBOYS everytime you add guns, everything becomes cowboys? Recently I watched a cool unintellectual film called In The Lost Lands, ostensibly this is about witches and werewolves I think GRR Martin wrote it but this film which is made by the Resident Evil director and also stars Milla Jovovich who somehow still looks moderately hot despite being old with silly distracting face tattoos, this film has some MINDBLOWING cgi graphics landscapes, I think they made it in Poland and we know Poland is very good at cgi graphics eg the Platige Images studio who make the Witcher trailers etc.
Anyway the setting of this film is literally NECROMUNDA TRENCH CRUSADE there is some of the most breathtaking postapocalyptic scenery I have ever seen since Mad Max Fury Road, everywhere there are SKULLS and CHASMS these are the main requirements for wasteland orgasm. I was very aroused by the art design of this film. The main story is nonsense lol and also strangely surprisingly sexless as well for the Gen Z neutered generation, but there is a fair amount of action and fighting of the dual-wielding Resident Evil variety and you will probably anticipate the plot twist lol it is super obvious given the limited number of characters.
Also, as you know I am very interested in cinematic fx depictions of MAGIC and this film has a very unique approach, basically all the magic is sort of a fake illusion or persuasion / glamour, witch Milla Jovovich basically looks them in the eye and makes them "see" things that trick them into believing or doing things that aren't real. The way this is visually portrayed is very intriguing
The film probably doesn't possess any moral purpose beyond informing you that post apocalyptic iron SKULL CHURCHES are probably bad especially if they are architecturally adorned and garlanded with spike cages SLAVE PIT MINES and crucifixions TORTURE PAIN RAILWAY LOCOMOTIVES and also ultra-zealous BLACK PEOPLE (in this film, in a strange inversion of Klu Klux Klan crusader imagery black people and bald lesbian women are all religious leaders and evil) Anyway, the main point of this film is not to analyse the depths of its message or Milla Jovovich increasingly sexless acting ability but to salivate instead over the gorgeous post apocalyptic ruins and sweeping panoramas, behold, pic related

>>6230041 >RESPONDING TO CRITICISM Recently something I learnt from watching A24 / Alex Garland's Warfare (2025) film, set in Iraq during the 2006 Ramadi invasion, apparently most of the time in urban combat when they call for air support, because of various reasons the jets cannot drop bombs??? so they just do a Show Of Force instead, ie a low flying pass to intimidate ground combatants / insurgents. I don't know if this is what actually happened whether this was the protocol adhered to or the actual MOUT rules of engagement, or just some retroactive attempt to cinematically portray military forces as disciplined / considerate / not bombing civilians haphazardly in Iraq etc. According to Alex Garland's highly accurate military supervised film depiction, zero civilian noncombatants died
Imagine if in Game Of Thrones instead of melting flesh and stone, bringing ruination upon besieged castles and chomping on some horseback knights, what if the dragons just flew around really low on the ground snorting and pawing and drooling a bit in a menacing manner until everyone became somewhat dismayed and disheartened, this would be highly effective
Anyway, thank you for the review of my comments lol but as I don't really know how to respond, I call for this animated gif intimidating low pass jet flyby Show Of Force in order to minimise any collateral damage. Look at the pretty swirly dust plumes, ooohhh oohh

In that Milla Jovovich "In The Lost Lands" film there are no cars (maybe they were afraid of drawing too many obvious Mad Max comparisons) it is just western cowboy horses and a spiked torture steam locomotive train. There is also an action sequence where they have to cross a perilous wasteland chasm with the only conveyance being an improvised schoolbus / dangling scavenger cable car thing, obviously there is a massive shootout / melee battle, I quite liked the choreography. Overall it is just a dumb mindless action film lol so not to oversell it, the film is definitely not as good as Mad Max Fury Road but you know how some films exactly follow the cadence and encounter structure of an rpg battle / exploration campaign, this film is one of them, there is even an rpg overworld location map lol

>>6230110 They didn’t drop bombs because the Jihadis were right across the street and on top of the same building. A bomb dropped in that area would have been a PR disaster, but would also stand a good chance of annihilating the SEAL team. A single airdropped bomb in the middle of that street would take out the front walls on every house near the impact zone. So a “show of force” was the only option available.
That, and it looked really really cool on screen. The Academy needs to close voting for sound design, in my book Warfare has already won it.

>>6228954 you are of course absolutely correct anon, obviously you cannot drop bombs directly on top of insurgent forces in close proximity to yourself, hence the low pass flyby Show Of Force
For sound design, visual spectacle, I was very impressed with the first 40mins of the film, the leotard dance music opening (this was very clever) the initial infiltration / observation stage low intensity / sniper scope tension. The details of how they let the Iraqi translators / support force exit first lol the slight comedy of exfiltration tactics, the smoke grenade that perversely exposed their position to the entire neighbourhood (I guess their presence already revealed after the hostile grenade)
When the explosion happened (it looked like a rocket, but I think in the film they said it was an IED) Alex Garland launches military consultant approved Call Of Duty / Six Days In Fallujah videogame gunbattle mode I became slightly less impressed.
The street battle cinematography, when the support squad crosses over to consolidate on their embattled position, the hail of covering SAW gunfire, the perfect bounding unit formations just looked fake to me, a staged unit manoeuvre urban warfare training video. That squad fires a million bullets, is directly shot at through a street maze at close range by insurgents, they take zero casualties?? All civilians have completely vanished? The streets are completely conveniently deserted, so ten million bullets injured zero women children?)
I guess because Alex Garland keeps emphasising in all the PR that the film is made with adherence to its actual military participants, people who were actually there, we just have to believe him, no civilian noncombatants died
I didn't understand the bit where initially they were denied the tank/APC exit because of IEDs, then he just repeated the order (faked authority?) and got approval? It did not detract from the pacing though
I would contrast this film to the 2008 tv series Generation Kill

>>6230327 >>6230250 >>6230110 My understanding of the Iraq war is that the major means through which Iran evades sanctions today is through control of Iraq, eg
https://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/Iran-Oil-Tankers-Evading-Sanctions-with-False-Iraqi-Paperwork.html Mar 24, 2025
Iranian oil tankers seized by U.S. forces in the Gulf were using forged Iraqi documents, Iraq's oil minister Hayan Abdel-Ghani has reported
Basically by destroying the Saddam Hussein secular / Sunni Baathist state, the historical enemy of Shia Iran with whom they had previously fought the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war, the US invasion greatly strengthened factions and regions within Iraq aligned to Iran.
I noticed some reviews and journalists commenting on the historical accuracy of the film refer casually to Coalition forces hunting "terrorists, al Qaeda" during the Iraq invasion. Maybe this was true by the time of the film in 2006 the Ramadi assault, but my impression of the news controversy back then, originally there were no terrorists (they came much later, drawn by the fighting) just Ba'ath party / Saddam Hussein regime fighters etc, this was the controversy at the time (and people argued that Iraq was a distraction from the mission in Afghanistan, finding bin Laden etc).

The uniqueness to my style, like my setting and my story, definitely comes from taking multiple different inspirations people would never mix and just mixing them and coming out with something mildly coherent.

>>6230354 >Armored Core style reference This series is an interesting one, the games I played were the PSX ones, then AC 4, For Answer, V, Verdict Day and the psp ones (I have not played 6). I think there is a lot of variation in aesthetic style across all the titles they could almost be entirely different games and settings, I liked the urban ruin apocalyptic "realism" of V very much (in my opinion, the Overed Weapon gigamissile launch with the insane screen shake, scorched screen darkening and blast smoke effects is basically the most intense depiction of a rocket in any videogame ever. Sadly, I never unlocked these) however I cannot remember any of the story and some of the battles in that game the levels were over in 60 seconds lol.
In contrast 4, the Miyazaki For Answer game had evocative atmosphere, I mentioned before the cool names and real world reference themes (Thermidor, Rayleonard like Raytheon / Leonardo Finmeccanica, Noblesse Oblige and if I remember there is even a Reiterpallasch opponent mech lol it is Bloodborne lol) I remember the Spirit Of Motherwill battle the desert ruin sunken skyscrapers (it was satisfying to shoot buildings with sniper cannons or the grenade launcher, to watch the dust explosions) but there was also some incredible open level surrounding this massive central tower (not sure if AC4 or For Answer?), you could assemble a light flying mech and just freeform fly and glide around the pillar and perch on top it was very fun. These days Miyazaki Dark Souls elliptic story references and allusion design has been belaboured and imitated to death, but back then in terms of most memorable story / world atmosphere names, feel etc overall inspiration, Miyazaki AC For Answer wins for me

>>6230354 THE SECRET INGREDIENT OF GAME DESIGN
>VERTIGO I mentioned it before, but I read a lot of Roger Caillois ludology you can basically see the wiki summary here
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man,_Play_and_Games But he condensed game design into four ideas, Skill (Competition), Luck/Chance randomness, Mimicry (it is sort of make-believe, playing at roles characters acting out drama etc) and finally a mysterious concept called VERTIGO (I call this Defamiliarisation, Disorientation etc, Caillois used the Greek term Ilinx for whirlpool, eg children spinning around a merry-go-round, a seesaw, a rollercoaster or bungee jumping etc)
So this VERTIGO or defamiliarisation / disorientation idea, this is what is needed in EVERY GAME. In the tumult and shock barrage of sensory inundation in the game world all the colours and noises and motions the sudden VERTIGO is what embeds itself into memory. Look at it here with the cable car CHASM
>>6230181 The Armored Core solar tower vertical / circular aerial battle
>>6230388 Mirror's Edge?? freerunning, leaping? That is the entire game lol
>>6230354 or even how every PUBG game begins with you parachute jumping over a vertiginous drop from an airplane onto an island, or how Assassins Creed endlessly regurgitates the parkour Climb The Tall Tower Perch On A Plank Whilst Panorama Camera Spins Atound You VERTIGO inducing perspective etc. Vertigo is the secret ingredient in all game scenes and world encounters, every game MUST HAVE THIS
Anonymous
Quoted By:
>>6230395 >VERTIGO, why include this in the game world? The reason why I think vertigo is highly effective in games, establishing scenes and encounters is because the fear of falling / disorientation, elevated perspective etc creates a visceral sense of EMBODIMENT it really makes you feel like you are "present" in the game world (which otherwise can just be strange unnatural, abstract unfamiliar foreign fake unbelievable place etc) when you are afraid of plummeting from a great height and see the abyss of all the world laid out before your feet etc, it is like you are actually there, something shakes you and upsets the balance of the inner ear and perhaps creates deeper memories. I think there is some trend of climbing games upcoming with that Cairn (?) game (unrelated to the ttrpg cairn, I mean the French mountain climbing simulator) there is also some grimdark ruin climbing first person indie game called White Knuckle, all these games deploy vertigo. And if I think about it Death Stranding, where Kojima makes you relearn how to walk over physical videogame terrain, the challenge of it is navigating hills and mountains creating those fast gravity traversal zipline cable pulley things erecting the network infrastructure of poles and bridges over rivers and canyons, all of that is vertigo, physical embodiment.

>>6230180 >UNUSUAL historical weapons from reading rpg rulebooks lol Of all the absolutely horrifying ramifications and consequences of the Iraq War, one thing I will never forgive, this is the most terrible unspeakable atrocity, but the Iraq War basically ruined the aesthetics of Dune, Denis Villeneuve made everything into Brutalist flat monotone dull Iraq war desert functionalism, Dune is about spice and spacefolding and transcendent mental hallucinogenic savage orientalist / messianic colonial escapades, Thou Shalt Not Disfigure The Soul etc theological pontifications, at no point do you really feel that cultural layer of depth whilst watching Dune and attempting to surreptitiously glimpse Lady Jessica's oedipal chest offerings.
And worst of all, even the swords / knives in Villeneuve Dune, they just look like slabs and wedges, or folding razor switchblades (HBO Dune Prophecy,
>>6226048 the worst design), so unimaginative
So I was reading some rpg rulebook weapon compilation it lists hundreds of obscure historical weapons, the book was illustrated but I actually looked up some of these knives (I had never heard of them) and they are all real in museum collections.
So for your viewing pleasure and inspiration here is my selected pic related compilation I found from that rpg rulebook names list, top left is an African sword called a ngulu? I think it is a ceremonial Congolese execution scythe sword, I liked it because it literally resembles a warhammer WARPSWORD from the old Slaves To Darkness random tables where you generate hideously warped and rippling demonic possessed curved hooked envenomed chaos fleshblades lol
Then on the top right, I liked this dagger which I believe is called a telek, a Tuareg tribal weapon, superficially it looks like any plain crosshilted crusader type dagger but the pommel is actually another extended two-handed grip, not sure if it was decorative (cross type pommel) or actually used in a two-handed thrusting finishing attack / armour pierce attack etc like some poniard. I thought this pommel as additional grip hilt extender idea was very cool
Finally the bottom knife which is perhaps 17th? century is a very ornate undulating blade Indian knife called a chilanum ? I just adore the look of this weapon, it feels like something out of swords and sorcery orientalist myth, Conan, Elric of Melnibone white tiger intoxicated narcotic sorcerors cultists or even something from say 1001 Nights, Scheherazade. It just looks seductive and exquisite.
Anyway, the absence of this sort of cultural historical design detail is what I mean ranting against AI concepts etc.
>>6226048 I had never seen or heard of any of these weapon designs before reading about them randomly. Any of these historical or cultural artifacts would look better for the sword and knife fights they perform in Dune, compared to the dull straight edge slab blades Denis Villeneuve went with in the end. I hope this provides some artistic inspiration, hehe

>>6230448 Also the reason why I delve into this knife sword blade fetishism tee hee hee I saw in BananasQM game he was discussing axe duelling, I think Bananas went with a double headed standard battle axe design
>>6228776 (reminiscent of a Minoan / Greek Labrys?)
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labrys Which is fine hehe
When I think of an exotic alien looking axe, I inevitably think of those African hooked throwing dagger-axes or sickle knives with all the flared reverse prongs, eg the mambele. Famously in the title intro sequence power shot, Buffy the vampire slayer uses one from season 3 episode 1

>>6230429 >SPACE FACTIONS >feudalist, absolutist, constitutional The correct answer according to Curtis Yarvin is of course, DARK ENLIGHTENMENT
Space techno-Monarchism, the Thiel, Musk multiplanetary consciousness lol, the Nick Land, Curtis Yarvin / aka Mencius Moldbug variety is very topical right now, I thought I had lost it when I witnessed the NYT interviewing Yarvin argh this is 4chan /pol tier politics I thought it was a joke lol but there it is, this is just what the world is like now
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/magazine/curtis-yarvin-interview.html According to the (left wing publication) The New Republic (these days you always have to be wary of paraphrasis and secondary sources) Yarvin recommends "virtualisation" instead of genocide of the impoverished gibbering ignorant masses,
https://newrepublic.com/article/183971/jd-vance-weird-terrifying-techno-authoritarian-ideas (...)
In 2008, a software developer in San Francisco named Curtis Yarvin, writing under a pseudonym, proposed a horrific solution for people he deemed “not productive”: “convert them into biodiesel, which can help power the Muni buses.”
Yarvin, a self-described reactionary and extremist who was 35 years old at the time, clarified that he was “just kidding.” But then he continued, “The trouble with the biodiesel solution is that no one would want to live in a city whose public transportation was fueled, even just partly, by the distilled remains of its late underclass. However, it helps us describe the problem we are trying to solve. Our goal, in short, is a humane alternative to genocide.”
>He then concluded that the “best humane alternative to genocide” is to “virtualize” these people: Imprison them in “permanent solitary confinement” where, to avoid making them insane, they would be connected to an “immersive virtual-reality interface” so they could “experience a rich, fulfilling life in a completely imaginary world.” >Yarvin’s disturbing manifestos have earned him influential followers, chief among them: tech billionaire Peter Thiel and his onetime Silicon Valley protégé Senator J.D. Vance In the US, where government is run mostly by private equity and hedge fund speculators (check out Scott Bessent's career, his wealth from wrecking the Bank Of England alongside Soros in the 1992 ERM debacle) it is now common to consider the government as a corporation, like management consultants overseeing citizens who must be productive and efficient, revenue generating and profitable. But I believe the intent of traditionalists or patricians would have been to see the nation state not as a corporation (for restructuring) but as a family. How often do you look at your sister or mother, and evaluate how profitable they would be, how much ROI or ebitda you could make from your family members? Of course, if your country is filled with immigrants, it weakens the associative / communal sense of belonging to the nation-family etc

>>6230236 >"not being there from the start..." etc I really enjoyed your Inside Place, Black Ocean quests because they started with no presumption of setting knowledge or the preceding choice history / chronological developments.
People say my games are incomprehensible but I operate them on the basis that you can just choose mindlessly with no context based upon the immediate feel of the pictures I upload, and whenever I introduce factions or weapons or items I usually do a videogame style dedicated title card background lore info section etc which probably no-one reads lol
With your highly evolved detailed lore and established myriad factions, it does raise barriers to entry and limits accessibility, it is up to you but maybe you could just do a brief "faction intro" whenever an organisation or personnage is mentioned, or you could even offer an internal monologue synopsis like "... You remember you are suspicious of X race / leader / organisation, after the events of Y..." etc. maybe this gives away too much, maybe this would provide helpful context for new players, or maybe your existing players don't want or need it, so it is really up to you I suppose

That is very mythological and evocative, you see this is exactly what I mean when I say that the setting is hard to understand because of all these background lore details argh. But yes the Minoan bullfighting / Tauromachy type imagery from antiquity is very cool, obviously Dune House Atreides uses the bull sacrifice, and it recurs in all sorts of literary places, Jorge Luis Borges House Of Asterion short story (about Theseus / Labyrinth, but written from the point of the view of the "prince" ie the deformed minotaur), Nietzsche refers to the minotaur, so does Hemingway who was obsessed with bullfighting and spanish matador culture eg The Sun Also Rises etc.
I often have an issue with finding believable art for "futuristic melee" future swords space axes etc. I blame the star wars because lightsabers are just so dominant, it is hard to find good art for "future swords" etc. The one game I remember had some cool future swords was that heavy industrial dark souls style game called The SURGE 1 and 2, that had some good designs for electro or pneumatic robot swords, halberds axes etc. and there was this cool chromatic distortion blur effect (every time you swung the electro axe or halberds, the air around the blade would shimmer and ripple with cool shader particles and things) The screenshots don't convey the feel of the game that well, I remember I quite enjoyed it because unlike dark souls you could fully target and dismember separate robot limbs for harvesting components and upgrades etc. I suppose the other way of doing it would be to go wasteland postapocalyptic for future weaponry, you could also do the tactical combat axe like those Gerber axes and hatchets from Escape From Tarkov etc.

>>6230917 >If you just read the one thread... >COW PEOPLE Well I have to confess Reptoid QM, I am an unabashed HUMAN SUPREMACIST nearly all of my settings are human only (humanoid robots, augmented sentient cyborgs also ok). I think it comes back to the influence of warhammer 40k lol purge the heretic, the mutant, the xenos etc I would be one of those rampaging monodominants tee hee hee, I find it difficult to relate often to anthropomorphised animal people, they just look like teletubbies to me, the dnd tiefling pixie fairy horns two tailed di-phallus blue red skin cat eye fur hoof goat people, I know this is your thing Reptoid with the lizards or goblins and succubi etc and your writing is very sensitive and humanistic, in fact I can tell you are probably a very social and convivial person because your stories are full of lovely warm sympathetic intimacies, friendly character interactions and relationships versus my bleak maladjusted hostile deviant torture worlds lol. In my worlds you have no friends, you are always alone. Until death comes
So it is probably a bit ironic, because my preferred worlds are human only but feature very little humanity (this is just what capital markets the VAMPIRE SORCERY leeches from you) whereas your animal lizard demoness worlds are actually more human
And even in 40k I never really enjoyed stories about massacring genestealers or greenskins etc I only really enjoyed the Abnett tales of human intrigue, the Enemy Within style chaos cult conspiracies and heresies etc. I mentioned before it is just my personal preference against the Star Wars cantina style ohhh look at all the weirdo puppet aliens lol thing, I preferred the Ridley Scott Alien, Blade Runner etc sci fi, about humans and corporations etc. Recently I watched The Dark Crystal (had never seen this, despite watching a lot of 1980s Jim Henson style puppetry / animatronic fantasy like Labyrinth, Neverending Story or that Tom Cruise Legend 1985 film). So it was ok, I would have liked it better with humans, I suppose the bit where the girl puppet pops out her fairy wings was nice. I also liked the Skeksis duel scene where instead of fighting each other, they compete in a threat display to hit the rock with those strange swords, that was interesting. But overall I find it difficult to relate to fantasy or sci fi media that doesn't predominantly feature humans

>>6230862 In this section I elaborate a bit on a psychoanalytic theory of worldbuilding I just invented (and not just to tease BananasQM lol): imagine a square bisected into four quadrants and the first axis is WOMB vs WRECK and another is possibly PLAYER vs GM
So this WOMB vs WRECK axis idea, on the one hand you have this notion of comfort/control, is the world a safe escapist cosy construct, or is it a mayhem catastrophe sandbox, where with impish mischief and perverse delight you rampage around wrecking everything?
IMPORTANT: this womb vs wreck framing is independent of genre, eg you could have a "cosy" postapocalyptic Fallout world, ie it is secure and stable and unchanging as a setting (even though the aesthetic look of the world might be collapse, urban ruins etc).
Conversely you could have a "wrecked" cottagecore or say Redwall / Dark Crystal setting. What I mean by this is the stability of the world underpinnings, ie the CONTROL whether it is permitted to alter destroy and devastate all of the worldbuilding elements etc
Then: the axis of PLAYER vs GM. This is essentially the agent who perpetrates the wrecking or alternatively reinforces the comfort / stability of the world.
In a manner of speaking, it is like a measure of AUTARCHY vs COLLABORATIVE / COMMUNAL influence, internal vs external. Who is responsible for changing the world or reinforcing, conserving it, etc. On the one extreme you could have a GM-less no dungeonmaster type game (in my experience, this is never strictly true, someone loud will always dominate and take the lead) on the otherhand, you could have a passive videogame -esque scenario where the players passively react and respond to descriptions of the world entirely provided through the authority and descriptions of the dungeonmaster. So I think this might be an interesting way to examine where you are positioned in your worldbuilding and how you approach running your games
As a dungeonmaster you know this feeling, it is a fatiguing and familiar one, you describe something and the player responds and the response "feels wrong" you instinctively know it leads to a "bad outcome" it feels out of place or stupid like it will wreck or ruin something. Alternatively, you go with it surrender authorial authority and unleash chaos lol. This is the essence of that WOMB vs WRECK idea

>>6230862 >>6231114 These days a lot of AI technodeterminists probably Sam Altman believe that humans are just LLMs trained from birth through text speech from parent to child, then again Sam Altman is a homosexual. But in the ttrpg game interaction I think the psychoanalytic relationship is ambiguous the GM is not the "parent" or the sole source of authority, versus the naive and unknowing blundering player "child" etc. Compare this to a videogame, where everything you do in the game world recieves predetermined punishment / reward preprogrammed feedback, in a videogame the authority resides absolutely with the videogame as "parent" training rewarding punishing the player "child" (yes, I know nowdays since the advent of live service, games-as-a-service, videogame companies collect all data telemetry and log everything to train various models etc on player behaviour, but still, the relationship is overwhelmingly one way, it is the videogame world training the player on behaviours that win succeed versus fail). Conversely, in the ttrpg interaction it is far more bivalent, ambiguous; the dungeonmaster to some extent seeks approval, legitimation of his world and characters, narrative encounters and imagined conceits through the choices of the player - in this manner, the GM is almost like a "child", seeking reward and feedback through player authority actions; yet the player also seeks approval, the player wants to enact various fantasies, slay the dragon, loot the gear weapons treasure relics, save the princess, romance the princess, also romance the tavern wench and the witch demoness or the fetching forest elf etc etc so in this manner the player is like a child seeking gratification of the enactment of fictional desires from the GM parent.
So maybe it is not one FANTASY WOMB WORLD but a RECURSIVE WOMB it is like some branching non-Euclidean fractal uterus with Fallopian tubes jangling everywhere on the hyperbolic plane folded in on itself

>>6231288 >>6231319 >>6231325 This section is from Xenos / Inquisitor Eisenhorn series by Dan Abnett. I tried to cut a few excerpts this is one of the best sections of the novel, when Eisenhorn calls a congregation of psykers and enters the horrific warp twisted dream mind of the heretic Malahite. Eisenhorn is also simultaneously battling against the intrigues of a rival inquisitor, an insane Xanthite (radical) named Molitor who believes in wielding the weapons of Chaos against Chaos itself (yes, it is obvious that he has fallen to corruption and damnation). The reason Eisenhorn resorts to this horrifying dream warp seance is because Malahite has already been tortured to the verge of death by the radical Xanthite inquisitor as he was desperate to extract his knowledge of warp secrets and conspiracy. As Eisenhorn enters the warp realm accompanied by his loyal and steadfast puritanical Monodominant mentor, Commodus Voke, they realise that it is actually a trap and that Malahite knows already he is condemned to death and torment, all he intends is to collapse the warp realm upon them whilst unleashing some daemonic chaos warp spawn upon the attendant psyker congregation. This is one of the coolest sequences in 4pk ever written by Abnett, in fact the entire Eisenhorn series is just sheer perfection. If you are interested in similar psyker / warp antics, I also recommend the graphic novel Daemonifuge featuring Ephrael Stern (Sisters Of Battle).
Hopefully you can read my pic related if you zoom in on PC lol or enable that free zoom / magnification browser setting on mobile lol (I had to cut out a middle section because it is super long there is a lot of back story about the Necroteuch this cursed warp grimoire and Pontius Glaw etc etc).
The reason why the Eisenhorn series is so incredible is it depicts gradual downfall, Eisenhorn begins as a very reasonable Amalathian (moderate) inquisitor, gradually as the series progresses, and the horrors he confronts escalate, he is forced to take more and more extreme measures, until he becomes barely indistinguishable from the chaos heretics he fights himself

>>6231288 Not sure about specific rituals besides the bounding to the Emprah but I think that's only for Astropaths. A sanctioned psyker quest would still be pretty easy atleast for the background info
>What was their childhood like? >What happened when people realized they could spit lightning with their minds >How did they avoid getting burned at the stake >What was it like in the Black Ship You can also keep just the general Imperial Cult stuff as a general focusing ritual

>>6231288 >>6231708 Also, I forgot to mention, you know how in this Malahite / dream warp sequence, Eisenhorn is lured into the warp realm and realises it is a trap etc? This occurs in Xenos (1st novel of the series) when Eisenhorn is still fairly new and eager and innocent. By the very end of the trilogy, the last book Hereticus, Eisenhorn actually uses this tactic himself against agents of the Warp (basically, he has to meet some chaos witch lady in person, she insists he attends himself, but Eisenhorn sends some daemonic warp clone of himself, and when she tries to kill the duplicate, she is utterly annihilated and devoured by the seething powers of the warp). Eisenhorn has gone full demon magus by the end of the series, it is just gradual and slow and incremental until he is fully wielding chaos artifacts runestaffs skulls the Necroteuch and a daemonhost (made from the corpse of one of his formerly most loyal disciples and friends) all his companions die or desert and abandon him, it is a really amazing narrative sequence. 40k used to be so dark and twisted, I remember a really chilling section from Malleus (2nd book) where chaos cultists basically perpetrate a terrorist attack, they do a 9/11 right in the middle of an Imperial Triumph (celebrating the capture of hundreds of dangerous unsanctioned psykers, they are being paraded as trophies in null cages in the streets of some Imperial city as a victory celebration) it is an utter massacre and slaughter, Ravenor (Eisenhorn protege) gets melted and maimed lol so Abnett has to write a separate trilogy about how Ravenor is forever confined to a !notXmen professor Xavier style floating gun sarcophagus psychic wheelchair lol, but anyway in the middle of the chaos cultist atrocity massacre panic with all the captured paykers suddenly freed and running amok mutilating eveyone, Eisenhorn is trying to save and rally as many civilians as possible, he comes across this helpless infant child, just as he rushes to save it, he sees this rune brand on its ankle, and realises that it is one of the hideously deformed and twisted psyker mutants lol

>>6231711 >>6231714 I chose an extreme example hehe from that wh40k young adults series, but even say well-received and popular recent media like Rogue Trader the videogame or even the new Space Marine videogame (I have not played either of these) I watched some of it, but I was really turned off the cover art (see pic related - what is that thing the Space Wolf is holding lol, that jewelled axe lol mobile game gacha unlock dlc skin. Ok maybe frost axes
https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Frost_Axe were always a bit gay) it just looks like some generic mobile hero shooter game, fortnite mixed with some Marvel superheroes, compare that to the John Blanche or the crazed black and white psychotic-religious fanatic intensity of the Paul Dainton Codex: Witch Hunters artwork, Inquisitor, Battlefleet Gothic (1999 edition) or the old Necromunda, it just looks wrong. So I am a bit disillusioned with the modern 40k art style it really turns me off, I need sadomasochistic chainsword ball gag sisters of battle
