Not trying to be a downer but the way your quests are (you know, all long and heavily worded) I doubt making a new one (as in a new story) would be quite taxing for anyone. Many authors here have a hard enough time running one, so I'd suggest you bide your time for now.

Hmm, probably sound advice. Hubris is certainly a weakness of mine. I'll attempt to finish what I've started before committing Napoleon's great mistake of stretching oneself too thin.

>>129192
If that's going to be a reoccurring problem then there's no harm to your pride in saying that you need more time or can't finish a quest because of real life issues. Many authors face that and this community (while still capable of immense stupidity like any other) understands that real life needs come first.

In case anyone was unaware (I certainly was!), this quest is actually technically completed. Here's the ending, from the author's page:



Oh.

Sabby helped Lairehfsis get her body corpsebound by her family. Helped patch up things between their Romeo and Juliet-butt families mostly by accident and got on both their good sides. Carried on a bit further down south. Helped Doctor Mantis become accepted for the medical GENIUS he clearly was. Finally convinced the Geofahn bug to get off her butt through speechifying and appealing to his own insecurities.

Eventually arranged for a dream conversation with Tabaxian. Sabby was always being pushed by suggestions towards seizing control of her own life and living on her own terms and answering to no one. Being her own dog. She was done running.

Explained she was taking her own route in life. He accused her of being selfish. She said having to give up her life for everyone else was basically the same. They argued. They finally stopped arguing. And he let her go. House Geofahn backed off. House Geofahn absorbed House Tashikoxix by artifact of their expansion anyway, so most of the ghosts were saved, although Sabby's mother didn't end up with any kind of real political clout and is still pretty miserable.

And with that sorted out, she and Maexiks sorted out their own problems. Most of Sabby's suggestions were understanding if a little creeped out. She eventually forgave Maexiks and encouraged her to ditch that fart-butt town if she hated it so much and stop being a depresso and come hang out.

She did.

I cannot, the tablet requires more power than my Prius can safely supply. Even if I could, that sounds like a hastle..

Im saving up money and takeing all the work I can get. I want to "retire" as soon as I can, so I can focus more on my art and personal projects.

My goal is a mininum of 1 update per week.
No promises though.

Regardless of her reception to the idea, we can't pretend that we can do this without it being seen as an act of hostility by the neighboring populace. These sorts of decisions carry consequences. If we want to go ahead with this route that's alright, so long as we are prepared for their natural outcomes.
I really don't need Deem to tell me what tone I see our (potential) actions setting. And neither apparently do you, since you feel comfortable casting them as hostile and dangerous.

Having containment procedures are important.
Correction: Having containment procedures beforehand is important. We need to know what is ideal, and what to avoid, before something happens and we're thrown into a situation with no briefing. Sort of like you and the pillar of light.

Hmm. Have there been any experiments on whether the immunity our type of AI has to the memetic effects of some objects (such as the Cube) extends to memetic effects in general?

So, what is all that you have plugged into your head? And on that note, if you have a robotic brain now, can its contents be backed up or copied? Like, in case you get killed again, or become compromised, or go missing, or are in town for two hours and can't tell us where the snacks are until you get back?

Sorry.

Sometimes I think that maybe interpreters don't have much time to last, that by the next decade they're going to become a marginal hafl-dead profession, like saddlers or something.

And then I see one of these threads, and my faith is restored.

It's interesting though that different language groups produce substantially different kinds of gibberish when fed to Google Translator.

This has potential. Hopefully, you'll find an audience that can appreciate your work.

And I don't want you to misconstrue that as me being buttdevastated, 44, because I pretty much agree with you. I like doing quests but it's pretty obvious I am not good at constructing a coherent plot. Well, what I think is coherent, I think most of the problem is no one has the fucking clue what's going on in my works, and that's a double edged sword. Of course you want the mystery of knowing what's going on and what's the bigger picture, but you want something that makes sense.

tl;dr I ain't even mad, I probably shouldn't make a quest, but for some raisin I continue to do so.

> Dominore

These two are different characters right? Like Mangalo's parents figured their family name was similar to Mongicello so they decided what the heck and named him Dominore?

kome, please don't use "quotation marks" for anything. it is a bad idea, ever.

How closely is The Family Estate supposed to track with Business / Traditions?

Asking because I'm not sure if I should be lumping this thread in the same wiki page with the other two, since it looks like a new character / story.

Obvious options are (a) lump it in with the others (b) lump it, but as sidestory / specthread (c) give it a separate wiki page. Is there an author preference?

I should probably check this thread more often. I'm just so used to nothing happening here I guess.

I know these are old questions but I'll answer em anyway.
>>98359
Dominore is a title. Something like a mix between knighthood and getting tenure. It's essentially given to anyone that isn't a noble but is elevated to the same status as nobility for something they did or are doing

>>103234
Go ahead and lump them together. They're all going to intersect eventually.

Also incoming lore dump about elves and their bullshittery:

Elves had long ago achieved what they called the Linear Lattice - a state of being where they had become intrinsically tied to the very fabric of reality. By adopting a new sense of Self, they could achieve secrets of Sight and Speech that let them literally change the world because they said so.

So they abandoned their old identities, donned the masks, and became one with their new Self. What they Said became truth, what they wanted came to be. The world was theirs to make what they wanted, to fight their wars and live their lives in ultimate hedonism.

Yo Baron, I love the new Gyoji art.

It sounds like you want to make a tabletop RPG session where a stream audience is influencing your actions as DM? I'm not sure it fits into the quest thread format, but... sure, give it a go.

99% of suggestions:
"fuck"

also, closest idea to your thing would be
https://tgchan.org/wiki/Echo

>>127983
>twitch stream
Sounds too optimistic, there are not enough players here to do that really.

While it's not common here, games with multiple players controlling their own characters are usual thing where I came from. It works. But honestly you may want to search for real RPG-oriented place instead.

Your idea is rather intriguing, but there are several possible problems I'll point out.

One: the tg crowd isn't known for doing things on a schedule very well. I think you'd have problems with timing; suggesters coming in too late, completely missing the window of opportunity for their action, that sort of thing.

Two: the tg crowd is fairly small, I think the sheer lack of bodies would cause problems. Maybe.

Three: you might have trouble with the narrative. Often, you'll have multiple parties of suggestors pulling in exact opposite directions from each other, making it difficult to keep a cohesive plot going. Often, no matter what you choose, a certain number of people will be disappointed.

But I'm just poking holes right now, there's a lot of good things to be said about your idea.

Overall, I'd say go for it. The worst that happens is it's unsuccessful, then at least you can say you tried; believe me, that's better than feeling like you could have, but never did.

>>128211
>Overall, I'd say go for it. The worst that happens is it's unsuccessful, then at least you can say you tried; believe me, that's better than feeling like you could have, but never did.
Idk, I had a lot of projects which never left my head and it's always a pleasure to dream about some new ideas and adventures, and if you never went for it, then there are no hard feelings - you just lost interest and moved on to something else. On the other hands I had games which I still mad about, like several years later I still have butthurt about what happened there, it's scars which will never heal and trust in world which you'll never regain.
But you, OP, should go for it.

Kind of glad I didn't do the writing for those panels at the time, by the looks of how rough they are my attention was divided pretty thin.
Have an extra doodle, it's not too much of a spoiler, I was doodling to try some things out.
I don't think people will be too wired about spoilers in a half-porn quest I hope.
At least it's a nicer pic than the two panels for this update, it'd just be a bit of a waste to redo them.

>>126126
Seems "an update every day" was a bit too optimistic hehe

>spoiler
Even if you say it's a spoiler, I wouldn't be able to tell since it's not a character we've see yet, or know if we'll ever even see.

Discount huh? Even if she was 99% off, I'm not sure if I'd buy her with a face like that...

Yeah, a little ambitious, but circumstances haven't been too great at the moment so the unpaid stuff was the first to suffer when I had to prioritise. Still, I've been having fun and I'm looking forward to getting more constant updates out sometime. Hopefully the wait isn't going to be too much of a pain for folks at the moment.

>>106437
Nah, it's fine.

Hey this has 600 posts and a lot of stuff that isn't pertinent, and a title that isn't conducive to new readers finding it. I'm gonna make a new one, and pending the JamesLeng stamp of approval I think it'd be best to move our discussions over there.

I'm probably not permitted to make a new character and join the reboot, but I'm sure it'll still be interesting to watch everyone else's adventure. I updated the wiki page for the reboot.

I'm not the executive speaker, >>106443 but I don't think you're banned, I think JamesLeng was just feeling frustrated with the way you expressed yourself because it felt as though you were constantly unhappy; I'm sure for you it felt as though things were stacked against you and that the GM was out to get you. I think it's just a case of misunderstandings going unaired and being difficult to resolve via text on a screen because of the lack of personal interaction and difficulties conveying emotions.

Again though, outside interpretation of what happened, I can't speak for either of you. Thanks for updating the wiki- I'm gonna find a cover image and make a new discussion thread so after this whole discussion is resolved hopefully we can talk about the quest in a shiny new thread

>>97782
Truth

I've seen you fudge rolls before to protect us, but I with the crazy number of rolls you put out nothing else will work

You're the Dm behind the Dm's screen. You are allowed to fudge any roll you want so long as you have a good reason. (story or mechanics reason) I trust that you'll be fair, not that you'll be honest. It's fine for us to have shit luck sometimes (or the majority of times), we're used to it; just give us a break every once in a while if it's for an important roll.

>>97942
That is my intent, also it makes posting quite easier... But yeah, the goal is to be a fair dm... But for the record, I did not fudge any rolls in the chase scene, since there's an entirely alternative path if you fail the chase~

for those who are curious...
You're serendipitously saved by one of the main villains who's trying to get the artifact... you escape as he kills off the hellknights and are blamed for their murder since you're the only survivors... one way or another you end up falling into the pit when you escape...

Loving this quest so far. It's pretty funny, lewd, and the protagonist Katie is likable and cute. It makes me hope she will make it home alright safely, but at the same time have some fun with the strange predicament(s) she is in at the meantime.
