Sorcerer Quest, KS Quest and Gargoyle Quest News

So, obviously there was not any of these today. However, we can talk about scheduling for the remaining time in each quest.

Firstly, Kobold Sorcerer Quest will not be on Saturdays any longer. What day it moves to permanently is a mystery. It may be tacked on with Gargoyle Quest, but I would like to avoid this as GQ already gets neglected like crazy and repeating the same problem doesn't seem like a fix to me. At present, you will see it on Sunday, around 15:00 - 18:00, depending on when I wake up.

Secondly, Sorcerer Quest XVII is missing in action. It is not on sup /tg/ nor is it on easymodo. This means it has unfortunately been lost forever. But it was no biggie. Here, let me type it out again in its tl;dr version:

>>Melane: Words words
>>Black lizardman: Hissa hiss hiss words words my father
>>Cagrazod: Hrm hrm words words BUT WHAT IF EVERYTHING IS A LIE??!?!!?

There, good as new.

So, this is a general discussion thread and also to discuss scheduling stuff. Assuming this posts to the page at all (The other reason aside form finals I've been slacking this week).

Maybe the reason your quests are so shitty is because you try to run three at a time.

Eh, could be. But it could also be because I can't draw pretty pictures to go along with everything, and instead have to do things like tell a story with words, you know, like the big boys read.

Honestly, nothing better to do anon?

Wait, that's not what I meant.

Shit, lemme post a schedule.

Sorcerer Quest: Monday, 21:00

Gargoyle Quest: Wednesday, 21:00

Kobold Sorcerer Quest: Sunday, 15:00-18:00

I meant that KSQ and GQ might share a time slot if I can't make enough time for them both.

So as an additional note, plans within plans are going right now for Kobold Sorcerer Quest. I warn you, dear readers, you may be thrown out of this world on Sunday when you read the jarring, chilling truth about our main character.

By that, I also mean that plans for the book will begin either this Thursday or Saturday.

Of note to my faithful reader up there, Gargoyle Quest's setting is beginning to take shape, but the book is far off in the distance. Unfortunately, playing such a strange beast may be even further off than that. But do not despair! For you see, magic is not the only thing afoot in Pennsylvania...

The far off traces of the world you desired are coming every closer. But, are you ready for it? And will you be able to overcome those great forces that stand in your way?

By doing such a thing, would you not also become strong, and one day be felled as well?

But also an example of Japanese-style art I've been looking for the source of. Because it avoids everything I hate about animu. Besides a couple pointless belts.

Hmm, were they not around her upper body I could find a use for them. Traditionally, you didn't wear a belt to keep your pants up, but so you could put pouches on you. So, more belts would allow for more potential stuff-holding.

I guess you could do it with those belts on her body, but it would look very silly.

(Is it supposed to be Lina Inverse done realistically? Because that's the first thing I thought of when I saw her.)

OK, ethics are a no-go. Characters then? Who do you like, who do you hate/think I suck at writing/want to see fleshed out more?

Cagrazod is awesome. I hope we can get him out of his self-doubt his meeting with kresis has led him into.

In retrospect, it may have been a good idea to leave him at camp and bring someone else. Maybe our dragonman?

Is that the one Klar did? Or is that a diffrent quest? Because telling a drawfag to have our internet trollbold make more kobolds out of stone and kill thieving duregar was awesome.

You can certainly try to go out and get more people to bring in with you. Just have to keep in mind how it's going to look.

If you didn't get to see Cagrazod's dialogue from the 17th, he seems to be distraught mainly over the ethical dilemma of creating new problems by solving the old ones, but still seems loyal to Melane. I'll be starting of XVIII with some dialogue from him, assuming 4 chan doesn't derp up like it has been from the hacking attacks.

Aw yeah. When I saw this, I was like "Wait, is this KQ but mistagged?"

Then I read it, and I was overjoyed with how awesome it was.

More on topic though, in SQ and GQ, we've seen play as multiple main characters. In GQ, it was for comedy relief mostly, but... What exactly do you think caused such a thing?

I'll admit, I haven't really followed GQ. I generally only had so much attention to divide between quest threads in a single night, so I chose SQ when they were running simmultaneously.

Oh man, VKO,

I love reading your quests (sorceror and kobold. Haven't gotten around to gargoyle).
You are great writer, I like your characters and stories.
I find it a real shame that they don't get much traffic.

Except for KoboldS, it seems not many people want to participate .... maybe they don't really like the premise of these quests? Maybe there are a bunch of people who do like them but can't participate (like me)? I dunno.

I've been reading Quests on /tg/ for a long time and it is hard to know what will catch attention.
I still haven't figured it out. One thing I noticed is that /tg/ likes strategy/economic quests though, where ones influence spans high and wide.

I like how dedicated you are, VKO. You keep your promises, write quickly and detailed .... even keep going if you have no input.
I have seen many, MANY, immensely popular quests whose archives get upvoted like crazy only to have the DM disappear without a word after several threads (Ghostbusters Quest comes to mind). Or quests which have been going strong for many months to do the same (Lord Quest, MegaCorp, Doppelganger, etc) just to drop.

I'm starting to understand why some people might despise Quests so much. Starting up something great then dropping it without explanation ought to leave a bitter taste. I have seen only few quests with a proper closure.

Thanks for the encouragement.

I admit, that if I have my time cut down by quite a bit (Say I have to work another job) then I will have to drop my less popular quests. Doesn't mean I won't try my damndest to continue them though.

One thing I think I will try is what I'm going to do with KSQ, which is have it in parts, and then start another quest called "Kobold Magistrate Quest" or something like that, to draw in old and new viewers alike. This will be done at the end of an "episode". In Melane's case, she's in it for the long haul, but for Gabriel? Good news! You're very episodic already! That would fit in perfectly for that quest.

Not to worry, people thinking little of my work isn't going to stop me from doing it. I'll force them into liking my work if that's what it takes.

Ah, but I kid. Or do I? Try your luck, punk.

By the way, where you from? I'm in Arizona time, which doesn't follow daylight savings time unlike the rest of the US.
