Attached to this post is a rough sketch of how a regular chapter introductory page will look. Despite the, uh, licentious aspect of the book, it is also an earnest attempt at creating a true, canonical representation of each race.

If you would like your alien race to be included in this project, please use the following form:

>Race Name:
>Background/Lore Dump: [Link to document or other place with background info about the race]
>OK with Printing: Y/N

Possible Questions

>This is a project to create a physical book?
Depends, CSGAR hopes to be able to print out a fully drawn artbook about each race. If a cited creator of a race chooses to not have a printed version of their race available however, that race's chapter may be unavailable in printed editions.

>Will this be for sale?
As of current, it probably will NOT be for sale unless everyone involved has given the OK. (Matter of a fact I haven't even asked Jukashi yet)

>Will an online version be available?
Absolutely, a fully completed work will be available online.

>What do you mean by "alien race"?
Any non-human race that is prominent or originated from QuestDen.

If you have any other questions or concerns, please note them below!

Seems like a fun project, I don't have any races to submit but I wish the project luck!

THIS IS FUCKING AWESOME THANK YOU!

Let's see, most important races as far as tgchan "lore" go seem to be as follows, in no particular order:

-Kobolds/cutebolds
-anything original Weaver's put out
-Neumono, maybe a couple of the other lagotrope races
-nevreans
-tozols
-tezakians
-Nedynvor, lorhkes, and demesi all crop up fairly regularly

aaaaand.... maybe sergals?

those are the big semi-regulars I can think of that'd probably be important here.

Salazzarine, Amtsvane, and related species are also pretty frequent.

The point is compiling quest aliens just for their appeal? I get the idea, but for this you could skip the alien lore and include the fantasy races as well.

Alien reproduction could be a truly interesting topic even if the described act doesn't stimulate the reader. Most quest races reproduce the way mammals do because of fetches, but there are a few variations.

If I remember correctly Lagotrope's mikliks can change their sex like frogs.
Salikai had a few mentions of having a different sexual act but it wasn't explain. I would guess the male deliver a sperm packet to the female in a single careful movement like most invertebrates do.
Neumonos are mostly mammal style but can provoke abortion at will. A special note for that one time Rokoa got reproduced via parasitic injections that convert other neumonos into her clones.

I guess Radula doesn't reproduce...

Bite Quest was about magical constructions that... I have no idea how or if their reproduction work.

Radial's mana beasts are artificial in origin and reproduce by splitting a piece of their core.
Nereyas are interesting. The sex/gender is only determined once a monogamous partner is established. I would guess a fish like sexual act.

Fuyunii had a weird cat race called therran with a caste called keothera. He mentioned that the caste system was convoluted and the reproduction was a long ritualistic process that involved a lot of pain. I don't know what exactly he had in mind.

Neumono are a bit weirder than just mammals. Females can decide to get pregnant or not by basically flexing a muscle. Sperm are delivered in a coherent ball, leading to both baseball and gumball machine metaphors. And iirc their whole distributed consciousness and regeneration thing has implications for reproduction too. There's a lot going on there.


My question though, is do you need authors to be the ones posting info and thereby implicit permission? We've had a lot of people come through in the last ten years and leave memorable contributions, but some have moved on.
