What is Marys favorite color?

So is everyone undead in ATE or are there alive people?

So yeah, non-undead exist.

Quite a few. However, they don't particularly care for the undead and so they have their own settlements. For the most part the two groups don't go at each other, though they're hard pressed to work together.

Everyone in the Fallen Web is a not-dead human.

do Runes(Audit) exist in ATE?

Name: Posterface
Gender: Male
Color: Red
Appearance: As Pictured
Personality: Posterface got his picture on a propaganda poster *one time* and now he walks around acting like he's a big star.

He is handsomer than the average kobold but he doesn't seem to have caught on that everyone is sick of him making that face all the time. Also, he has to wear a chastity cage like basically everyone else so it's not like he's getting laid.

Posterface is loyal to the Sultana but he is a slave to the winds of popularity. If he could be turned, he would look great on posters for the resistance.

>...did she bounce?
Luckily, yes. Unluckily, she bounced right into a Minotaur beach volleyball game, knocking out the ball from game and thus replacing it. She lost her horn when the blue team won with a kickass spike that left her upper body buried in the sand all the way up to her rather rotund posterior.

Oh, and thanks for all the Kobolds, I appreciate every last one of them!

Name: Poxy Turvy

Gender: Herm

Color: White

Appearance: As pictured

Personality: Poxy likes hugs, cooking, mixing drinks, handling and touching weird ingredients and sticking her hands and face into bubbly cauldrons that smell funny

You know what else she likes? not washing her hands! and having complete disregard for basic sanitation and safety measures, if you value your health don't touch Poxy, nor come in contact with any items she has handled in the last 72 hours

Sultana sends her to serve food and drinks to her enemies, interlopers of the lair, or in general anyone she doesn't want around for long; Poxy doesn't know this and thinks she's just seen as a really good host

Warning: Interacting with Poxy or her "culinary creations" goes against every sanitary measure known to civilization; please consult your local practitioner if you present: shivers, sudden horn sprouts, fang growth, scaly skin, lust for shiny things, growing a tail, incessant humping and or death

On the other hand, if you don't try them, she'll be sad :(

Hey, it's been a while huh.

This is mostly just to serve as a heads-up that I didn't die or anything and explain what the deal is. I already planned on making a discussion thread for some time now, but a lot happened.

And by a lot I mean I was working on the last update in the middle of a gradually worsening fever, so if you were wondering why it felt so hurried compared to previous updates well there's your answer. Then next morning I stood up out of bed and immediately had to puke. Very fun.

After that, my usual "monthly subject of hyperfixation" began to cycle again, and my interest just kind of fizzled out. It was probably for the best though, because I really needed to ruminate on how I should be doing the quest.

To phrase it in a way vague enough that it makes any spoilers impossible, I have a good general idea of how I want the story to go, but the finer details are in a constant flux. I need everything to be more concrete before I can keep pace again.

I know I should keep it simple for a first quest, but this is my element. I always enjoy letting my imagination run wild and pump out as much weird shit as it can conceptualize. Even if the quest doesn't turn out particularly great in the end, I'll still have a blast doing all the drawing and worldbuilding.

Anyways, expect updates eventually™. Have a sexy Raphael for your time.

glad you're feeling better at least.

Do not worry, as long as there is method behind the madness, this website has always thrived on weird. It always keeps folk wondering.

Thank you so much for letting us know and for the quest so far, we are really intrigued what this crazy world is about.

Thats not my question tho. My actual question is, how did you meet DONJON's beloved news anchor, Polka D. Artep? In what ways have you messed with her during your visit in DONJON? It's too bad she isn't as sweet as Dotti unfortunately.

I was thinking that for the next round we'd start off with a consultation fee of 500gp.

Then we'd get bids from different players who list their ideas and any ingredients or spells their idea might involve. I'd cover the rest by speculating on what the player might have left out and what it would cost.

I'm thinking magical components will be priced according to tiers. Something like:

Common

Uncommon

Rare

Epic

Legendary

Some components will be one of a kind or priceless and require missions to retrieve.

Are we good with spells costing 25gp per casting or should it be higher?

I think it's fine, you could always put a higher price on premium spells.

nah I'd say the fact the guy running it said he wasn't gonna return to it (>>136311) and the quest's been graveyarded for years and this questdis thread was dead for at least a year until you brought it back from the dead means an update is coming any day now, for sure, for sure

yes it's dead

Just want to point out that the research notes explicitly say they had to build a voice synthesizer for moths, so it's not something Kuvusha has to discover or anything.

...she's already forgotten everything in those research notes by now, hasn't she.

Hey all — going to take a little break for a couple weeks. The last, like, two months' worth of updates have been harder to write than they should be and also chronically behind schedule so I'm going to see if this helps.

Heh. No idea if you'll even see this, but don't sweat the modern military thinking too much. Firstly, modern military thinking is often about squad tactics and combined-arms fire support - neither of which apply very well to 1 on 1 duels. Secondly, we're dealing with supersoldiers, future-tech weapons and gadgets, and a few things that may as well be effin' magic (the cards and parasignias). Modern tactics do not deal with these things (even if certain principles are still valid). If you've got an improvised MacGyver tactic, post it, it's not like additional ideas would be bad.

Hey, nice to have you back!

Hey, any chance we can get permission to feature BAN as a cameo in the crossover Questden Duelist Invitational? Just as a quick one-off fanart or three.

https://questden.org/kusaba/quest/res/1034777.html

Thanks!

Lovely story BAN. I gorged myself on it all day yesterday and finished it. Great stuff.

I've got some questions about how to improve a little.

I suspect that my characters seem a bit flat.
As the viewpoint character, there should probably be more of an emotional slant to the descriptions of things that matches Frankie. I'm planning on going for an eager-to-be helpful, but somewhat neurotic personality.
I figure I can achieve that, by describing his reasoning for why he does things, & inserting some emotional language there. Does that sound good?

As for other characters, I'm not quite sure how to do that.

For the Monitor, I can write in a certain voice pretty easily, but I'm not sure how well I can get a sense of pessimism across.

Similarly, I'm not quite sure what to do with Cerendi. I think part of it is that I don't have a concrete description of her personality.
I'm trying to go for a hardcore "gamer-girl" type of thing. Strong opinions on games, etc. Knows what she wants, headstrong. Friendly, but not nice/soft enough to be a mother-figure.
Maybe just writing it out here will help?


Besides that, I'm not sure about pacing (not that there's any pace to measure yet). Obviously, updating more frequently would be good, but that'll probably come with time.

Also made this quest more in-depth than I originally meant to. Not sure if that will be good or bad yet. This is my first quest, so I'm worried it'll be a bad thing.

>>139804
I mean, I could make that part of the quest-for-a-power-supply.
Frankie finds several different options, each with different pros/cons?

I was thinking of a more general shopping-spree happening later... Hmmm... I'll think about that.

Not sure we could give accurate critic one way or another on characters at the moment. We've barely just met them so it's a bit early to say if you're succeeding or failing to get their personalities across. You might be overthinking it. Give it a few more updates before we start analyzing things.

Don't overthink it.

Just Update.

File 168670548939.png - (1.24KB , 64x64 , ORB_Icon.png )

Does anybody wanna play with ideas for "Tiny Animals Fantasy Battles" (basically Warhammer Fantasy/40K, but furry)?

I've got three submissions for Frankie's fave figurine, but no images/detailed descriptions. I think I'll go with the "Shark Week chapter" option. Honestly, I figure I'll keep the ideas from the ones I don't use immediately, too:

> ... CATMARINE that you painted in BATTLE CAT SQUADRON colors.
I figure I'll take Spacemarines, slap some cat features on-em, & fantasy-ify them. For the colors, I'm thinking mostly black, with orange/yellow & white secondary colors.

> ...Shark Week chapter figurine - this one's a female brute unit, which is only slightly less jacked than the male version, and you find the contours of the skin-tight wetsuit...
I think this might be another Catmarine, but with some added shark-features & gear designed for water. I'm thinking mostly slate/shark blue, with blue/white/black 2ndary colors.

> ACE PILOT figurine.
I dunno, bird-person? Thinking of leather aviator-jacket look.

Also, if you have ideas for factions, lore, etc, I'm all ears. I can also just reskin stuff from WH40K/WHFantasy, too.

>>139283

The future is now.

Replying to a few reasonable battle strategy suggestions with "draw the battle plan" after several days isn't really that great. A requirement like that should really be presented up front, because now the sense is that all the effort put into the original suggestions as to what to do was completely wasted.

Besides, with precious little information on that map- elevation's kind of important, as is weapons range, mech speed, and a half-dozen other things- the map is hardly useful for anything other than reducing what seemed a fairly detailed combat situation into a bunch of boxes and lines.

The late map inclusion was a bit of a fuckup on our side. It was originally intended to be submitted with the update before, but got put on the backlog due to various reasons *coughskyrimcough*

>>358896
I was cool with Marius. Jumping around between factions when we've hardly gotten to know him that well seems like it would only truncate the tentative bits of characterization that this quest has already managed and abort the opportunity to develop them into something compelling.

>>358906
Same here. I think switching factions is generally not that good an idea narratively.

The fox puddle is perfect for pondering deep, difficult decisions. The Momo-Dotti armistice still holds. For now.

"Hey, Momo," Dotti says, quietly enough to not freak out the considerate lady. "There are lots of people here in their underwear, but no one is making fun of them for it. And some people are wearing more clothes than others, like this very considerate lady petting us."

"It's swimwear," Momo says. "It looks like underwear, but it's stuff people wear around big pools of water. Some people have competitions to see who can wear the least amount of clothes and not get kicked out."

"You can win that one," Dotti says. "So you're saying I can wear stuff to encourage tummy rubs?"

"Among other things."

Tummy rubs are important. So is shapeshifting flexibility.

So many choices... if only there was someone on the beach who could help her decide on what not-underwear is best.

From across the beach, Tineola hears an urgent cry for help with fashion! But there’s a big obstacle in the way: it’s a big, big world out there. She’s going to need to catch a ride.
“Excuse me, miss Landi? Down here! I need to borrow your wings!”
Landi blinks at the fairy’s fairy sized moth flittering about. “Wow, are you a talking gnat? So this is what it’s like to be Serah!”
“I um, may have used the shrinker one too many times. Could you get me over to that fox? I want to help her with her fashion crisis in any way I can, no matter how microscopic I may be!”
“Oh, are you sure you want me to take you closer to that stinky fox? She isn’t exactly my biggest fan.“
“Please, you’re the only one who can help me! …And I can’t hit the buttons on the shrinker anymore.”
“Eh, alright. Try not to get lost in there!” Landi shoots skyward, clutching Tineola tight!

Landi zips over to Dotti and flies a loop around her head, earning a glare from the fluffy fox. While the fairy keeps the vindictive vixen distracted, Tineola leaps out of Landi’s hands and glides toward a giant, pointy ear, nestling at its base completely unnoticed.
“Ahem! Dotti? Dooottiii… Can you hear me? This is your fashion-conscious conscience speaking! If you want to maximise your tummy rubs, you want an outfit that looks cute, just like you! One that keeps your belly exposed and pairs nicely with your wonderful orange fur! What you need is an itsy bitsy, teenie weenie, purple polka dot bikini!”

It's cool that you're still thinking about it. Usually I suggest continuation over a reboot, but if it's been this long and the setting's drifted a lot maybe that does work better.

Cool lore dump. Imo, a reboot may work out better, but you could incorporate elements from what occurred in the previous thread to lead into the fresh start.

So, being as demons are a creation of negative emotions and obsessions, does the setting have the reverse occur where sustained positive emotions and convictions create proto-whatevers of a different makeup?

Like a rarer reverse-demon configuration (i.e. spirit or 'angel'), where a mortal with their mind set to it - or perhaps accidentally through their personality and life - cultivates something that then somehow subsumes a soul (say on the mortal's death) and becomes a permanent entity?

Consider zealots, monks, ascetics, fighters for a cause - or just someone with an upbeat personality, a work ethic, or the fortune to not have life's little miseries and temptuous foibles bring them out of their decent groove for long enough.

I imagine interesting things might also be happening with religions here and communally created entities. Gonna bet there's some fucked-up looking angels out there. Or maybe deamons masquerading as 'em, pending on the sincerity and positivity of worship, I suppose.

I may not really know the context, but an insanity demon dying from doing something mildly well-adjusted is really funny and I am glad to have come across the idea.
