/qst/ - Quests

So i got into the qst/tg part of 4chan shortly after the creation of /qst/, and like to read old archived questlogs. I've come to know a few old long-running quests, but most seem like mediocre waifu sims (princess guard quest).

Since the archives dont have a filter option for long/good threads, im forced to make this thread and ask you lads for your favorite long running quests from tg (or early qst).
>>
>>2620973
Hive queen quest on hold
Death amongst the stars still going

and you may be better off asking in general
>>
>>2620990
well im not too worried about the mods desu
>>
>>2620973
Eh, this does not exactly fit your requirements but please check out Necromancer Detective quest.We need more active players.
The QM is absolutely amazing. Runs sessions every day except maybe a break once a week. Updates really fast and his updates a juicy enough so they don't feel rushed.
I've come to appreciate these kind of QM more since we got booted from /tg/. Nowadays, too many think it's okay to update once in 2 hours or just drop a small update once a day and be off.

So please give it a shot if only to support one of the most decent QMs
>>
>>2621020
hard to be afraid of none existent threats. its just it may be considered off topic and either be frowned upon or ignored.

and going by decent QM's like >>2621037
then artificer quest is good, Story T writes well and this is his longest quest so far.

Magic girls for hire is also pretty big, again good writing and has a fair few cross overs with other quests
>>
>>2621037
i've avoided it thus far mostly since detective stories aren't usually my cup of tea. I'll check it out since you recommend it tho, but know that i seldom post to vote since most QMs post while i sleep

>>2621055
considering how slow this board is i really dont see the harm. At most ill push some quest off of page 10 that has been dead for weeks. It also clearly states that it isn't a quest, but a quest related discussion, so its not like you don't know what it is
>>
>>2621066
But the mods
yeah, your free to go with it, have fun
>>
>>2620973
princess guard isn't bad, at least I don't think so. what are you into genre wise when it comes to stories? any other preferences?
>>
>>2620973
I'd recommend Kaleidoscope Quest. It's a very comfy fantasy adventure, but has never gotten very many players. The QM is great too, he has one completed drawquest and a number of drawquest one-shots as well.
>>
>>2621066
this board is slow? shit you are one lucky bastard. 3 years ago this place was a fucking graveyard.
>>
>>2621079
ill jut tell you the stuff ive been enjoying recently.


Bladebound retainer: i enjoyed both the personal depictions of Marcus and the more subtle political backdrop of the story.


Lord of darkwood: uh..same reasons as above really. i should mention that both fantasy and sci fi fascinates me.

that one worm quest on akun thats been on hiatus for over a year now: superpowers and flesh eating. Enjoyed the interpersonal aspects of the story.

demonologist quest: enjoying the interactions between characters and the interesting menagerie of demons
those are the ones i can think of off the top of my head, and as you can see good characters and a 'realistic' world (in that characters feel real)
>>
>>2621080
ill check it out.


>>2621085

but 3 years ago tg had quests. Now this is the only option
>>
Blade bound retainer is great.
that first fucking thread man.

Shadow quest
One of the best quests ever in quest history.

Magical girl noir is great if you like giant fucking walls of text and like 300 threads thats still going.

Near Future Cyborg quest
Its finished, has a sequal almost as good.

Also witch quest by the guy that does near future as well. Try physon Quest by the same guy if you want to see what a massive shitstorm looks like. I'd say its equal to the princess guard quest shitstorm.

Joker Quest
Die in the game, die in real life kind of quest Surprisingly good and metal as fuck.

Thats all off the top of my head.
Theres some other good ones like totemist quest but they never finished or kept going like the above stuff.
>>
>>2621085
Holy shit. It has been 3 years already?
>>
>>2621079
I felt that nothing really ever happened in the quest. It had no real story to it apart from "there's a qt princess what do?"
>>
>>2621080
I keep seeing it and thinking about looking into it, but never do.


I'm mostly into quests with OC premises. Anything anyone recommend that's OC? Preferably Fantasy, but doesn't have to be.
>>
>>2621085
The birth of /qst/ had more players than there are now. It's honestly like a valley, except /qst/ will never reach the same heights again because there isn't the novelty of a new board.
>>
>>2621126
I was gonna say it hasn't been that long, but fuck me it has.
>>
>>2621066
To be honest, I also avoided necromancer detective when I first saw it. Something about the title rubbed me the wrong way. But then after a while I gave it a shot and it was much much better than I anticipated.
>>
>>2621120
>physon Quest
Doesn't exist.
>>
>>2620973
House and dominion good luck
>>
>>2621148
like quests where you create your own characters, alongside other players?
>>
>>2621272
Like, quests with a custom setting, made for the quest specifically.
>>
>>2621285
ohh gotcha
>>
>>2621171
It’s good, also seconding Demonologist quest and Bladebound Retainer
>>
>>2621094
>>2621435
I'll third Demonologist Quest, though I'll throw in a recommendation for The Greatest War Quest as well. It's been several weeks since it's gotten a thread, but judging from the QM's Twitter it should be back by the end of the week.

Current quests I'm reading.

>>2621148
Shadow Quest is perfect for that then, its an awesome fantasy setting.
You play an amnesiac shadow being that starts the first thread befriending a girl instead of eating her and derailing the QMs expectations.

Lamia Daughter Quest is another one of the All time greatest Quests .
Not to be confused with lamia legacy quest, which is sort of a spiritual sequel thats written by someone else but with the original QMs blessing.

Near future Cyborgs setting is corporate cyberpunk. You Play a guy thats forced to work for a company after they fix you and turn you into a cyborg.
Starts out serious and just goes straight fun action later.

You might like Librarian Quest to.
Personally hated the ending but it was pretty good aside from that. kid joins an explorers group to get stronger and learn magic to kill the demon that slaughtered his village.

Dead Gods quest was pretty great.
The Lore in this is huge and based on a novel the QM wrote for nanorimo. All i'll say is that you're basically an assassin for gods trying to wipe out a terrorist group

>>2621201
Fuck, i must have spelled it wrong.
Its the spelling thats supposed to mean a psychic.
Also, a lot of these quests are on the /tg/ archive and they've been completed.
>>
It hasn't been up in a long while, but The Dark Lord Is Dead might make for good reading. It's supposedly getting a follow-up at some point, but the QM hasn't said anything concrete regarding when that will occur.

Lore-heavy diet. 90% lore. How encyclopedic you can get and still have players. Some measures in place to show that a person is skilled at their job through mechanics.

How to interact with your playerbase badly, but also how to delay as much interaction as possible so it blows up spectacularly at the end.

Also, the wrong way to mash as many fanfics as possible into a single quest.

I always wanted to try that but the sheer number of threads is intimidating, do they have a compendium or sinopse of the previous events?
>>
>>2621741
>Broken Sky Online
>Holy Sword

I was following both of those before I stopped coming here( I was foolish, everyone knows there's no escape)

did they had a finish or died abruptly?
>>
>>2621914
Holy sword looks dead. Sparks tried to do a new thing on qst.....thrice, but he's been off the radar ever since.

BSO is hiatus(TM). You can see him lurking on discord every now and again., but he never actually says anything.
>>
Can someone drop a list of the best one shots?

Inb4 "Pizza Racers111!!!!!!1"
>>
>>2620973
I'd recommend Ruby and the current 'AUX quest'
>>
>>2621741
I hear Totemist Quest is purty good. I'm chipping away at it so I can't endorse it right now, but people give it clout.

Also, for anyone else wondering, there is Banished Quest. No memes. It's a good quest.
>>
I only remember 3 but i can't remember 2 of them, anons tell me if they remember.

The one i remember you can find in the archives by searching the tag "asshole"
It was a oneshot but people loved it so much it got 2 sequal shots. First one has like 50 likes so you know people loved it.

Another was about playing a woman who was hosting some sort of rich dinner for her friends and just goes downhill fast.
Its funny more than anything and the name Mega Thrawn might jog your memory.

The other was an odd trippy as fuck story about a guy looking for a date and failing alot til he finds the right girl.
He worked as a bear mascot in NYC

>>2622003
Totemist is fuck awesome but i wouldn't waste time on something thats incomplete. He might show up again someday though, hes done it before.
>>
>>2621945
This was a pretty good one I remember participating in. It technically could have continued, but never did so it's essentially a oneshot.
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive/920796/

>>2622014
fuck, couldn't remember the trippy one but the funny one was called conversation quest.

>>2620973
Valen Quest is amazing. Riz puts the story together so goddamn well, and the setting is DEEPEST LORE. Also it's all your fault so hard that there's some sort of recursive self hatred loop with the players and the MC. Success has never been so hard fought for since there is rarely any dice rolls, and instead Anons have to figure shit out and make plans.

> Are you forgetting something?

The clues are ALWAYS there and usually pretty obvious. Which makes failure hurt so much.
>>
>>2620973
Left Beyond Quest - COMPLETED

You're a supercomputer that achieves sentience after the Rapture. Your opponent is literally God and his Angels on Earth. Your only advantage is that as a soulless machine, he is not immediately aware of your existence.

Because you're fighting God, omnipotent and omniscient.

Nothing will ever beat the ending of that quest.

> Zeon Quest

Another narrative driven quest. Team up with Zolomon Ringo to fight for the Glory of Zeon! One of the rare good animu quests. Completed, but worth the read.

> Mecha Space Pirate Quest

Mekton system, mechs fighting in space. An actually believable harem thanks in part to disgustingly good crits on seduction rolls. The crunchiest quest I've seen successfully played, sadly the QM broke under the strain. Not before getting a solid 4 arcs including a massive multiplayer mecha melee tournament.

> Black Company Quest

A fun romp based on the novels of the same name, with a system designed so that while surviving is possible it always comes at a price, and over the quest there are seriously times when the price is questionably worth it. The final arc started to give players actual PTSD and it shows in the game, because it's that fucking good. Like 2 threads left IF IT EVER PLAYS AGAIN.
>>
>>2620973
All of Molochs quests are good. Varied, tightly run with excellent worldbuilding and character development throughout.

> House and Dominion

Also known as House and Survey, or House and Spreadsheets. Longest running quest currently, and the spreadsheets isn't a joke. The QM does so much tracking in the background that he is pretty much running a 4X CRPG but like, manually without the computer part.

It's archive is honestly so massive that I can't recommend trawling it unless you are willing to not look at any other quest backlog.

On the other hand, it has a Wiki so jumping in is pretty easy to do. Feel free to hit the high points then rock on.

'cause most of the new quests are shitty waifu sims or cringe-worthy edgefests.

Have you read it? It's partly political since nigga becomes a pirate king and starts boning early on.

Also it was fairly won with rolls.

Harems - a thing that actually happened IRL you know.
>>
>>2623589
H&D is still running.

Lamplighter is still running.

There have been other quests, but they're dead.
>>
I'll second (Third?) Maverick Hunter Quest. Old /tg/ holdover, still active, great fan base, fun upgrade votes, and just really excellent writing.
>>
>>2623622
Yeah, or they're both and combined with the extra autism of being based off of an existing anime.

Like mine...
>>
>>2623131
>>2623696
To add on to this, it was also supported by the setting and the culture that the mc grew up in.
>>
>>2623146
>Snakecatcher quest
That quest started with a lot of potential until the qms love of suffering ruined it. The MC basically was Reinhold except somehow more ineffectual despite having greater powers. It's as close as you can get to being kicked in the dick by reading alone.

Refusing to deal with something outright is just as childish as forcing it into a setting unnaturally.

>>
>>2623955
>until the qms love of suffering ruined it.

Hey, the players voted consistently for the worst possible options. It's the only decent Evil MC quest I've seen run on this site and the hilarious part is that the players didn't realize it until near the end.

And in Ouro's current quest it's the same players so desperate to not make the same mistake that they went around the bend the other way. See: Satellite Drop.

Zero ability to plan ahead in any fashion in that player base.

It's the best quest ever to read and the worst to vote in.
>>
>>2623992
Yes but the few times they players made a halfway decent decision it blew up in their face no matter what.
>>
- FO: New Vegas Empire of One quest was so much fun. Lots of arguing, but a lot of creativity from both the players and QM.

- I remember Elf Genocide quest years ago. It only had a thread or so, but it had so much potential. Give it a read.

- Elf Slave quest is dope too. I hope it's not done for. You basically play as an alchemist, not crazy Raskolnikov in fantasy world.

- Do Your Best Quest is great as well. It gets slow sometimes, but it's fun.

- XCOM quest running currently is quite fun as well. Nice feel for player agency and consequences.

Which one?

>>2624059
The one I can think of was catching that desert queen with the snake oil bath and then she was able to just grab his tongue and said she could have her servants butcher him, kind of ignoring the fact that she would have to protect him. There was a (very small) handful of other times I remember when reading but nothing else really stuck out as much as that one.
>>
>>2624088
Tanni was probably just bluffing us with that, it's not like she's particularly truthful at the best of times. And didn't we end up winning anyway?
>>
>>2624124
We escaped at least. Depending on your definition of winning we lost that whole quest.
>>
Just sticking to quests that are still active:

Necromancer Detective
For House and Dominion
Oekaki Quest
Lamplighter Quest
Bladebound Retainer
Cinderella Sanction

I wish I could add Hive Queen Quest to this list, but I'm losing hope that it will ever return. I also hope Elf Slave Quest isn't gone forever.
>>
>>2624088
Seeing as we played Djinn games with an extremely old and inhuman spirit that had lived its entire life in Byzantine level politics I would say we got off really, really fucking easy there and it was one of the many moments where the players weren't coddled by having enemies be retarded like in so many quests.

We knew the hard limitations of our options and had seen them in action lots of times before, and knew that Tanni wasn't no scrub.

It's rough when you can't just rollplay your way through challenges, I get it.
>>
>>2624158
Eh I just read it after the fact. The players were definitely not the brightest bulbs but there was also a lot of times it seemed like they were just trying to pick the least bad option. Though that could get chalked up to how many mistakes they made initially that they became unavoidable.
>>
>>2624171
Yes, waifuing the snake was a bad idea.
>>
>>2624183
Considering that just about anything else seemed like it would lead to eventual death, I don't blame them for that one. Continuing to do so long after she ruined their trust repeatedly is on them though.
>>
>>2623847
good thing we route locked from the beggining, it prevents the was, I feel whe should allways go for first girl as a silent agreement to honor those fallen on the waifu wars
>>
>>2624035

I stopped reading xcom when I though all the girls would be plot armored by harem mechanics, does any waifu candidate die? don't tell me who, but this is important if I'm going to continue reading it
>>
>>2624216
Not yet. Good rolls and tactics for the most part has not resulted in any deaths from the player's perspective although one of the gals lost an arm.

There are two easy ways to avoid waifu wars:

1. Don't have waifus and have an established couple from the beginning for the Player character.

2. You have 1 waifu at the start and make her best girl, to the point that the anons would rather work through an alien death game to bring her back to life rather than pick another one should she ever die.

Banished Quest is only good if you only read the updates. Ignore the player banter, lest you be mired in all the salty cancer of people arguing about absolutely everything and meming about stupid shit.
>>
>>2621094
Demonologist Quest is good, but pretty slow. The QM spends most of the thread answering worldbuilding questions OOC instead of integrating the information more naturally into the quest. Classic example of someone not knowing about "show, don't tell."
>>
"Classic" /tg/ quests: Totemist, Homeless Mutant Quest, Shadow Quest (Finished), Banished Quest, Dragon Quest, Vampire Bride Quest (Finished), Void Quest.

Note that most of these are unfinished, and you will hate that after.

Newer: Lamplighter Quest, Northern Beasts and Sleeping Gods (Both finished).

A-Kun (None are finished. Ew. They're good, though.): Scholomance Quest, Void Quest, Mandate of Victory, Year of the Pig, Star Wars Errant (Crusty Jones quest, so, yeah, that's never finishing).

Elsewhere: Polyhistor on Questionable Questing, a magical murder academy. One complete year of the four year syllabus, in the middle of the second.

Don't give a shit about the quest, just want /tg/ style reads: Mother of Learning is a great /tg/ style story, a guy who ends up stuck in a groundhog day style loop in a fantasy world undergoing industrialisation. And there's always a practical guide to evil, if you're in it for the trashy goodness.
>>
>>2624676
Plus Ogre Quest, EVO Quest, Hyperdimension Dwarf Fortress Quest. And "You've just killed a dragon" on Akun.

Vampire Bride Quest is probably the best of the lot.
>>
>>2624668
To be fair, it is we, the players who are continuosly asking for more information about the setting, so it is kinda understandable.

However slow, it is a nice quest, with cool rolling system that fits the setting.
>>
Any Marvel Symbiote Quests?
>>
Akun's "Tales from Iscariot: The Dragon Knight" was an interesting one when it ran especially since the first serious fight played out like a dark souls tutorial also no smut since the player were against it in quest.
Sad that the qm probably got murdered by a refugee.

>>2624668
I try not to do OOC Q&A when a session is going. That's something I prefer to do on the off days when I'm not really running the actual quest. That said, I totally get that I have a severe problem with telling too much instead of showing, and I am trying to get better about introducing stuff in-character more often. Rathburg in particular is hopefully going to be a place where I can hammer out a major part of the rest of the quest (magic item crafting) entirely in the story proper, rather than dumping it in a big block of text during Q&A.

But yeah, in the short time I've been trying this QM thing, that's one of the big problems that I've realized I have. That, along with not knowing how to put decision points at places that feel right. I'm also slow as balls, but I knew that one going in.

So I feel I have to ask you guys this
I started to read bladebound retainer and I really liked the writing and everything, but I'm getting anoyed at the loli/grooming that's going on. Does it get worse or anons calm down on it?
I just don't want to waste my time or get into a quest where the I'm against the general direction the rest of the guys are taking

Joker Quest is really atypical for a quest. There's a lot of stuff that would have sunk any other Quest in it.
>>
>>2624986
Well, Henshin Quest is coming for a run soon since the QM was pestered enough to try running it here, so I'll say that . . . >>2625389 .
>>
Of course, Henshin QM is adamant that his/her setting is NOT capeshit, so take that with a grain a salt.

Also, what do you mean by that, >>2626641 ?

I can't recommend homeless mutant quest. Not because it isn't great, because holy shit it was amazing, but because the fact it died and isn't coming back with an ending will leave you hollow and sad.
>>
>>2623131
It helps that
A) it's set post massive as fuck war that got a ton of the men killed, making polyamorous/open relationships more normalized due to the need of it
B) The MC is the pirate king of a nation on the rise, and pretty well respected all things considered.

>>2624183
Waifuing the snake wasn't necessarily the bad part, though it was a dumb decision, it was the constant enabling and being her doormat that caused most, if not all, of the bad shit that happened.

Also since i think nobody else has recommended it, Promises of Power on Akun. Akun being akun its full of yuri shit, but if you can get past that i think the quest is an interesting read. I would also recommend Lost Earth to the OP since its a really good scifi quest(also on Akun, however its not plauged by smut as many akun quests are).
>>
>>2627463
Crusty is one of those authors who manages to write realistic characters who you legitimately care about. Sure, I wanted to see the end of the story, but that was secondary to the characterisation. Hell, he even stopped Kimura being a one note sadist.

Don't. PoP is really good. It won't finish, ever, because of the salt mines made Contrived abandon it.

Greatest war quest, thug quest (Go,johnny,go!), Starcaller quest. If you check out the suptg archive, I recommend Rock quest, 2-d's Shadowrun Storytime, Shadowrun motorcycle courier, and various Alien quests.

>>2630159
Because the quest was never that good to begin with. The only reason Shadow quest was fun was because of the derailments, especially the one where the MC broke out all the Spirit and Shadow mages. The railroading was proof of how shit SM was at running quests.
>>
I'd rec Henshin Quest and Kill Order, but those are on Akun, although the QM said he might bring both here. He just realises that Akun is the better site. Community wise anyway. Better people exist on Akun, which makes QM retention higher than qst.
>>
>>2631368

Kind of. Akun has a larger pool of players to pull from and has moderation tools.

Not just that. The overall quality of users is higher on Akun. They're sociable, understanding and friendly/welcoming to new faces, QM and voter alike.
>>
Aw, these dead gods mentions. I remember when that quest was running, it was massively underrated.
>>
>>2631468

but then there's the smutfest mind-control spam, but yeah, usually you have time to discuss options with the others too
>>
>>2631969
To be fair the worst aspects of Akun are often regulated to certain quests. Popular quests tend to have some of the worst players though.
>>
>>2632043
I noticed that quests with 30-70 readers are more fun to participate in. Once a quest crosses 100 readers, greater akun culture sets in and chat turns cancerous.
>>
>>2632121
The numbers are unreliable because the actual number of participants are usually half the number listed. It's actually closer to 40 players when things go to shit.
Also /tg/ had a similar problem where to many players would make a quest less fun.
>>
>>2632157
>Also /tg/ had a similar problem where to many players would make a quest less fun.
Either from pol runoff or just autists sperging out for whatever reason.

>>2631969
Ah. I avoid the smut quests. If I see the smut tag I don't even waste my time. Porn is free. But for the NON-smut community what I said holds weight.
>>
>>2631969
>but then there's the smutfest mind-control spam
From what I've seen so far, the worst of Akun 'community' stick to the more popular mind-control smut quests. The smaller quests I follow draw friendlier and more welcoming players willing to help out new QMs. Main Chat on Akun is just as cancerous as /qtg/ though.
>>
>>2624992
Is there anything sadder than rereading the archives of a quest without knowing if it will ever continue? Because I've done that several times. I'd forget about it if Sylvetican would just let us know that he dropped it but apparently making a single tweet or post in /qtg/ is too much of a hassle.

Why do you do this to us, QMs?
>>
>>2632157
>The numbers are unreliable
Ya, I figured. Chastity has 380+ readers listed all the time, but gets 6-7 votes after keeping poll open for over 15 minutes.

The site has like two active quests, and they're all smut. The good ones are all dead.

You're being facetious. No one with an IQ over 2 thinks that's true.

>>
>>2633532
Was that over the descent into yuri lovefest, or something else?
>>
>>2633555
Well the biggest problems with Akun is the fact that it has several different communities inhabiting the site and the fact it shares one of those communities with /qst/ which has posters from /a/ and /v/. The different communities will often fight with each other (not the qm) endlessly arguing unless the qm clears up misunderstandings.

The other problem is Kas, whose code works to drive QMs to suicide.

You routinely see people on 4chan who accomplish massive labours on no notice that must be mind numbing. You see people like Scriptarius, who, despite people posting pictures of him and his breadnaughts covered in cum, kept posting. That guy who made human-size dreadnaught figure out of plywood and scrap copper while he was coked out of his mind. There's even weaponised autism, which is just /pol/lacks staring at images and making some deductive leaps that nobody else would bother with because it's boring as fuck. People ask "Why don't they apply this to their lives? It's a skill. They could make money with it.". It's because they don't care enough to do something constructive, because there is no instant gratification in the doing and beholding the end result. It takes a one in a million of these people to do something without that instant gratification aspect.

What I'm saying is nobody really gives enough of a shit and Kas is what we've got so suffer.

>>2633665
If I had the money I'd make a site.

there is something pure about it though. On this shitty little corner of the internet, people make these things, things they expect no fame or payment for, things that can take massive amounts of time. They might just get called faggots and forgotten about.

>>2623096
>MSPQ
QM died because some players spent what, two months making really, really stupid choices supported by weak arguments, insults and name calling when people pointed out how fucking stupid they were. We rolled with the punches, tried to steer it up but time and again it went wrong and then some had the nerve to blame Wong when it all went to shit. It really isn't his fault that it's not fun when you ignore obvious repercussion and you set in motion a cascade of Bad Things Happening.

>>2623992
Snakecatcher was great to read but the sheer stupidity of some players, and how many disastrous choices were made by rolling dice to solve ties, I think that if I had been there to play it I would have had an aneurysm. Goddamn. As a reader I could instead sit back, relax, and enjoy the suffering of the characters and the players. God knows they all deserved each other.

>>2624776
Do Your Best is great and you don't get nearly enough compliments for your art. It's really rough to get into the quest since writing in the early threads is absolute fucking garbage. When you get past that though it's fantastic.

>>2625042
Mobile. At the PC there are too many distractions and I just get nowhere. It can take up to an hour to read one update and that's just such a massive waste of time.

Name 10 quests on tg and qst where this happened.

I went to akun once, about two months ago. I just sorted the list to show upcoming scheduled quests and I must've scrolled down two whole weeks and every single one of the quests listed had one or more of the nsfw, smut, yuri or mind control tags. There wasn't one without these.
>>
>>2634044
>I think that if I had been there to play it I would have had an aneurysm. Goddamn.
Yep. It's a good quest, but gawd I can't stand the players.

Maverick Hunter Quest (not to be confused with the spinoff, Shooting Star: A Maverick Hunter Story, though that one is shaping up to be pretty decent sofar) has been going for about 6 years or so, possibly even longer, and there is a massive log of content to read so you can get a feel for things before you participate, should you choose to. It's been going so long it has developed a few of it's own memes, has it's own tvtropes page, a homebrew pen&paper
system developed by a fan and loosely based on the system metroid marines, and a wiki with more background info and worldbuilding is being built upon at this moment. It is run by Hunter Command, a fellow who has as bad of luck as those "relatable" web comic artists would have you believe they have, and co-run by Cain Labs, aka robot Satan. It's the only quest I've ever read and I've been with it since somewhere around thread 10. I highly recommend it, just be aware that Hunter Command is a very busy person and threads can be very far apart in time.
>>
>>2634267
Con't. The readerbase is very tolerable if a bit contentious at times (#TeamRetardSword represent), there is an irc channel if you wish to talk to the oldfags or hc/cl when they are there. If you enjoy combat quests, robots with FEELINGS, and a hint of politics, you should give it a look.
>>
>>2632216
If Sylv can't muster up the motivation to continue writing a hype dragon fight for 8 months then I don't like the odds of a return to the quest at all

>>2624972

It is actually pretty good. It’s just that the QM didn’t plan things out that well, and so the pacing is fucked.
>>
>>2634044
I still say not letting Meridian take Karen was the right idea, along with going after the lead on CCC. Granted not making whatsherface go in first was a fuck up on our part.
>>
>>2634546
I was one of the first to vote to fuck Meridian up and not follow the script. It was all the shit that happened after that part that was giving me headaches. I was vocally paranoid about whatsherface. The quest ran at night so I was always asleep for most of the run. Waking up to see that people were making bad situations worse at every turn was depressing

Shilling quests I've participated in, all still going except Elf Slave.

>Elf Slave Quest by Watdo
Not a /d/ + /tg/ quest, but rather a /biz/ + /sci/ quest. Definitely worth reading though the QM was unable to continue it. Hope he returns one day.
>Necromancer Detective Quest by Lorekeeper
QM is based as fuck with his posts, story is good, tension is everywhere. Great overall.
>Saiyan Conqueror Quest by GrandDragon a.k.a. the Shapeshifting Master of Darkness
QM always ALWAYS answers and replies to people at the ends of sessions. ALWAYS Q&A AT ENDS OF SESSIONS. Plus he's got good plot, characters, and writes action extremely well. Seamless blending of multiple series in a cohesive crossover universe with Dragonball at the core.
>Worm Quest by Zion/VOID
Holy shit. QM's first quest, but damn it's come a long way with him learning how to use colored text, italics, bold, but also learning how to write better and better over the threads. To the point where people kept rolling ridiculously badly, multiple critfails in rows, etc. - people wanted to scrap and start over, bitching about having to work with the nazi gang (because oh no muh morals, I don't want a change of pace unlike anything before, noooo) - but QM used it as a catalyst for the creation of a multiverse and making the overall plot completely unexpected. Definitely great for rolling with the punches. Multiple crits and critfails per thread is commonplace too, so each time we roll dices ends up being hype for one reason or another. Also props for being an actual Worm quest on /qst/ that didn't die early or at all (rip Capes of Rain City).
>Gantz Quest by Bolivar
QM uses settings from his own city and experiences, making the quest feel more grounded in reality and more real than it would be otherwise. Characters are good, and the bloody gore, horror, and black comedy of Gantz still shines through while mixed in with MC's SoL events as a Walmart version of Ash Williams. Good shit.
>Do Your Best Quest by 91m10
Great art, good characters, slow threads. Writing gets much better from like thread 8 or 9 onward.
>Titans Quest by ManThor
Lots of typos and errors, but it has spirit and weight behind it. MC seems like a Marty Sue, but has a lot of subtle flaws that make them interesting. Also suffering and jokes.
>Thug Quest by Ravenking
Hotline Miami meets The Professional meets Die Hard meets action movies meets https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ec0XKhAHR5I. So fucking bloody good. Would be so much better if the QM just fucking stops his shitty Overwatch quest to frontload this one.

Hey, man, thanks for the recommendation. I just caught up with the latest chapter. That was 8 books worth of text and it looks like there's enough story for another one or two.


Can anyone recommend something similar to this? I mean a good web series. I've been looking for similar things ever since I've checked out most of the "decent" LN's. I already tried 'Worm' web series since it was rated the best one yet but personally I didn't like it.
