Flipz Posted June 12, 2016 Posted June 12, 2016 I'm sorry guys. I just opened my Twitter feed, and I just... I'm going to need a few days. I'm sorry. Oh, uh, I guess Karie can take Arthur and Miirym for now. If anything super important comes up, PM me I guess? I get email alerts for that, so yeah. I'm sorry, I legitimately can't function right now. Quote
Enceladus Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 Sorry to hear it Flipz You take care of yourself Quote
JimBee Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 It's been pretty slow in this forum lately, so I looked at some numbers just for fun. As of Quest #150, the overall average of the number of quests started per month is 2.58. The average number of quests each year are as follows: Year 1 (August 2011-August 2012, Quest#1-43: 3.58 Year 2 (Quest #44-79): 2.91 Year 3 (Quest #80-109): 2.42 Year 4 (Quest #110-140): 2.5 And I'll throw out an estimate that three more quests will start between now and August 11th, which will round out a group of Quests #141-154 for Year 5, an average of about one quest per month. So things have definitely slowed down a lot. I'd certainly like to keep this game going, so I guess I'll encourage the newer players to consider hosting. I'm guilty myself of not hosting very much - 151 is my fourth quest hosting (first in about 100 quests or three years), and I have been one of the most active players since the game started, which means I've been taking up quest slots consistently for five years. My excuse is that I don't have the time or access to bricks to do it. The first is valid but the second one is not. 151 uses 90% recycled pictures, and I actually didn't need my bricks for any of it (shoutout to Sandy for the imp pictures!). It's not ideal, but doable. You could also use LDD like Endgame. And hosing is fun. It really is! New players should take the dive and try it. It's not as hard as it looks and it's okay to make mistakes. We're all here to have fun, after all. Quote
Zepher Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 Yes! New hosts would be good, especially because I think some old hosts are pretty burned out/busy! Though quests have also gotten a tad longer - a small balance out. I think my finale quest may be on hold for a while, so I might try to host a very small quest in between then and now. But don't hold me to that. Still trying to find the time to post all the side quests from 139... Quote
UsernameMDM Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 Wish I had the time. I could possibly help run (butcher) battles or something, but I can't do a full blown quest. Quote
Waterbrick Down Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 Just as an encouragement to prospective QM's, stealing from one person is plagiarism, stealing from many is research. There are plenty of fully written good quests on the interwebs that have been created for a host of different RPG systems, all they need is a few tweaks. Don't feel pressured to come up with everything all on your own. Quote

Don't feel pressured to come up with everything all on your own. I can endorse this wholeheartedly. If you have access to them, looking through RPG manuals can be a great source of inspiration, and there are plenty of pre-published adventures that can be excellent sources of inspiration. Quote

MysticModulus Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 I hope I'll be able to write a short quest during the summer. I have some ideas but we'll see how it turns out. Quote
Waterbrick Down Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 (edited) Can I just say how much I am enjoying the current back and forth in 147, the Heroes sticking it in Charon's face is priceless. There are times to call BS and this is it. Edited June 17, 2016 by Waterbrick Down Quote
Asphalt Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 (edited) Man Lind tries to get some magical help with the ladies and it nearly gets him killed. Germ does the same thing to two members of his party, nothin. Edited June 20, 2016 by Asphalt Quote
samurai-turtle Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 (edited) Man Lind tries to get some magical help with the ladies and it nearly gets him killed. Germ does the same thing to two members of his party, nothin. Well I think it comes down to intention or expectations. Lind comes off more desperate where Germ was being more of a dirty old man. And Midrun did threaten to make Germ get uncomfortable. Edited June 20, 2016 by samuraiturtle Quote
Sandy Posted June 20, 2016 Author Posted June 20, 2016 HELP WANTED! I need someone with time and patience to run the battle in Quest#148 for me for the remainder of this week. It is a beast of a battle, but it ought to be fun! Quote
Rider Raider Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 Well, I've got a busy week on me. I could possibly attemp to run a round, but not the full battle. Quote

Endgame Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 Equipment swapping continues to be the absolute bane of my existence, but then again, what else i new? Quote
Lind Whisperer Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 Equipment swapping continues to be the absolute bane of my existence, but then again, what else i new? I'm almost tempted to have Lind thank Charon for being so patient... QM Note: Dog unepxectedly ended up in the hospitallast night, so I apologize that this stat check is late. The battle begins tomorrow morning! Is he/she going to be okay? Quote

Endgame Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 So, just for clarity, are we gonna have a , or a ? First one, I imagine. Charon is thinking with portals! Quote
Enceladus Posted June 26, 2016 Posted June 26, 2016 Yikes, every time I see an endgame boss I think I have seen the worse he can do, and then I see the next one! I would not like to be in the 147s party's shoes! Quote

samurai-turtle Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 You know that is one way to shut Lind Whisperer up KO his but. Quote
