You are Kaguya Ryōko. You are a shinobi who now lives in the hidden village Yūgakure, and to your knowledge, you may be one of just two of your kind left in this world. Today is a big day for you, since it’s fallen to you to serve as the sole representative of your village in the international chūnin exams being held in Konohagakure. After clearing two previous stages meant to test your information-gathering and survival skills, the third stage consists of a tournament-style rotation of duels – of which you have won two.The next match will see two Konoha genin facing off against each other – Tsurugi Misumi, an unremarkable twentysomething with glasses who seems to usually keep his face covered, and Hyūga Hinata, the timid eldest daughter of the supposedly most powerful house in their village. Out of all the matches so far this is the second which you’re finding it difficult to predict – Uchiha Sasuke versus Hyūga Neji being the other owing to the relatively high level of apparent skill each contestant brought into it. But this match is somewhat opposite.Misumi Tsurugi’s preliminary match against Yamanaka Ino wasn’t much of a fight, and only really served to tell you two things. First, Misumi-san’s technique relies on softening his bones to improve his grappling ability. Second… he has a lousy personality. Hyūga Hinata’s preliminary match demonstrated that she can use the Hyūga clan’s specialty form of taijutsu… if her opponent allows it. Her speed and physical strength are fine for a genin, but not quite up to the standards of the strongest candidates still in the running.The two of them facing off in the middle of the arena paints a stark picture. If you had to guess, the way Misumi-san carries himself and smirks like he’s already won will make most of the audience think he’ll likely be the winner – but want to root against him anyway.“This is going to be a good time!” Misumi Tsurugi muses. Hinata-kun doesn’t say anything in response.Genma-san watches them both with a frown. “Misumi Tsurugi versus Hyūga Hinata… you may begin!”Hinata-kun throws a kunai at Misumi-san and closes the distance after it, forcing Misumi-san to duck low to avoid it. Unfortunately for Hinata-kun, it doesn’t stop him from weaving hand seals and clasping his hands together with his fingertips pointed at his opponent.“Suiton: Suireiha!”Comment too long.

>>6477021Its a DPS check as Ryoko can be seen as a Boss with her toughness and regen. Most shinobi do have a powerful ace up their sleeve and will determine whether or not they can face Ryoko.Shizume is better at medicine than Ryoko and is stuck trying to keep everything glued together.Ryoko counters Orochimaru more than you would think because she cannot feel fear. So his truly god awful social skills become obvious rather than his usual intimidation and scary coping. While he is a problem he isn't thee problem because Orochimaru when you get down to it, wants the same thing that Ryoko is after. A much bigger problem is Danzo and the Zetsus.It is the tragedy of Tsunade and Ryoko's relationship. The ongoing tragedy of Ryoko is gonna be a thing for the foreseeable future. With her cousin, Clan's namesake, and Ryoko being self aware about the Ninja world along with her own baggage. Honestly, the only person I can think of who can give Ryoko a proper pep talk is fucking Hanzo, of all things.>>6478009There is also her 'blind confidence' in others, thanks to not feeling fear. To Ryoko, it never occurs to her that someone might fear failure or not try. So of COURSE she anticipates and encourages it. Her support just comes off as very demanding and threatening, especially with how cold and professional she is. It's just from an outside perspective... It's like having a demon breathing down your neck and demanding that you try anyway. As it never occurred to her that you're scared and she is terrifying.Downright hilarious from an external perspective. The kunoichi are gonna have it rough with her around because she simply won't be able to comprehend why you would give up or be lazy.
>>6477874> he's definitely gonna have to be the one to make the first move because I certainly can't see Ryoko doing itBro she talked to him like he is just a normal person, made him coffee, stood up to him, and hurt him when they fought.What u mean she hasn’t already been making moves? G man would have to be blind, deaf and dumb to not have eyes for her only
>>6478106I mean, sure, Gaara might be feeling some type of way, but for Ryoko that didn't really mean shit. What I was getting at is that if there's anything there, it's almost certainly one-sided.
>>6478106>>6478110Ryoko doesn't consider it flirting...probably. She isn't that clueless about sex or romance, given how touchy she was about her chest and how hard she shut down Naruto.As for Gaara, Ryoko was the only one who defended him as a 'good guy' and was completely immune see didn't notice his bloodlust. She was also able to get close enough to him yet not easily activate his soul sand auto defense. Which was how they were able to hang out. This was also why his siblings were so confused at how easily Ryoko was able to get close to Gaara without setting him off.However, if Garaa has a crush on Ryoko, he is gonna remember that he REALLY fucked up. He passed up the offer of private tea time with Ryoko and completely botched his answer to her question she actually wouldn't mind him trying to kill her. Ryoko, for her part, used to consider him a good(not nice) guy and wasn't disgusted by him as she was with Naruto. So, at the very least, he wasn't written off by her.Keep in mind Gaara wasn't able to get close to anyone since his uncle. Much less a girl, a cute one, no less. She actually liked him enough to defend him as a 'good guy' when he was in his maximum edgelord phase. Admittedly, everyone thought she was just being crazy and scary again, but still. Even his own sister and brother couldn't believe Ryoko.Not that I'm shipping the two because honestly, Gaara REALLY fucked up. Ryoko isn't clueless about it but has huge hangups stemming from her bloodline and childhood. However, from Gaara's perspective... It's a very different story. Ryoko was the girl who didn't reject him and even defended him when he was at his worst and lowest point in life. It's gonna absolutely suck to be Gaara when he finally sleeps properly and remembers how catastrophically he fucked up. Even Edgelord Gaara would be beyond pissed at himself...and I don't see his siblings ever letting him live it down.
>>6478123Yeah that's what I'm saying. Gaara dropped the ball super fucking hard, so it's up in the air as to whether or not he's even gonna try and salvage things...assuming he survives today I mean.

This peace, however, has been thrown into doubt.Something is brewing beneath earth, out of the sight of the Lights Above. Cultists worshipping the Core and its false gods have been exploding in population, more and more Magecorps being corrupted to their cause. Monster activity has heightened, and the rate of their mutation has increased. Worse than all of this, evidence suggesting collaboration between monsters and abysskin, as well as the intentional mutations of monsters into increasingly more dangerous threats.You, for better or for worse, are on the frontlines of this developing battlefield.

>lack of punctuationThat was a vestigial aspect from the earlier drafts of the quest. I wanted the dialogue to have proper punctuation while internal monologues have none so they can be easily differentiated. It made some sentences more difficult to read and write so I quietly added it back in as the quest went on.>favorite charactersBaiyok and Vanida were the two characters I had to get right in order for the quest to work -- the hook and the propellant for the plot. For Baiyok, I had to get her dialogue right, especially in Inconveniences I. Vanida was the opposite. I had to get the gist of the character across without practically any dialogue at all. As for Xintorn, the serpent would have showed up more if other choices were chosen. If Nin chose to shoot at Baiyok with his wax pistol, he would have been knocked around by the water she spits out and defeated. If Nin confronted Vanida and traveled to the clan’s new ritual hall, Baiyok and Xintorn would have shown up to back him up. I wanted her to play a similar role to Kommgal Vunnapar from D&I -- as long as this person is here, everything will be fine. It’s their absence from the plot which makes things more complicated for the protagonists and side characters.Nin and Waroon weren’t very hard to write aside from the occasional speech about their philosophies, and that was mainly cutting out the bits which were interesting but not necessarily vital to the update. One understated aspect of Nin is him using more Anglish than the rest of the cast. The Not-Angel was definitely my favorite to write, though. >favorite momentsComment too long.

>golden childThis wasn’t actually planned. I had several ideas for the epilogue. One idea would be to have a time skip and switch POV to a teenager/child being harassed by dogs which Nin quells with his flute and they’d have a short conversation about wild animals and the willingness to defend oneself if they suddenly attack. It would have ended with the teenager becoming friends with him mirroring the youths’ first encounter at Queer Sort.Another would be to have a smaller timeskip where Nin is doing chores or something and find something funny, calling out to Baiyok to come see it for a moment before realizing they don’t really cross paths anymore.I only got the idea after writing about the secret option to enslave Vanida and the pieces fall into place. Oh right, they did bury the aborted child there. Since they’re already desecrating her will, might as well do this, too, to send the message. It paired really well with his previous encounters with the child and his philosophy of might making right, too.>character designNin, Waroon, Vanida, and the Not-Angel were the first characters I designed. One aspect about Nin which sadly didn’t make the cut was his devil-like appearance; in his backstory, he was a printer’s devil, a child who’d do menial tasks and would literally get his hands dirty with ink. His arms and hands would have been blackened from ink, and the saber he carried under the armpit would have trailed behind him like a devil’s tail. Nin and Waroon would have appeared more supernatural. In the earlier drafts, they would have avoided sunlight because their own shadows would have looked distorted and twitching (foreshadowing the souls inside them) and when fatigued, the souls would peel apart their skin from flesh. They would have looked like to World of Horror’s Juri when HORROR catches up to her.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

Fulmenaxor destroyed the last Mountainhall in a single night of fierce flame. The dragon blew open the upper gates, burned down the halls where the clans had mustered, and nested within the great treasure vaults while the survivors fled through mines, drains, forgotten roads. No other dwarf hold remained.The dwarves scattered. Some found work in foreign towns. Some hid in the wilderness. Others became servants, mercenaries, prisoners, or nameless wanderers. Families lost one another. Hope was entombed with passing time.Now six dwarf families have gathered at the mouth of an empty mountain. They intend to establish a fortress where the scattered survivors may return and live as dwarves again. You are their leader.A hidden refuge can protect only those to whom it is known. Therefore it's name must be carried by merchants, pilgrims, and rulers to the far corners of the realm, that it might reach the ears of those forgotten dwarves. But be warned, as the fortress becomes more famed, its enemies, drawn by legend and eternal greed, will commit ever greater forces against it. And if the traders carry its name far enough, Fulmenaxor may wake from his dreamless slumber and learn that some of his victims have built another hall.But for now, hope is quarried once more. It is time to strike the earth!Choose leader:>Datost CinderhelmDatost held the last passage open while other families fled, then led six of those families across the ruined roads, bearing a shield scorched black by Fulmenaxor's fire.

>>6473888I think it was three?
>>6473857Yeah, that's a good idea. Will post the full "changelog" here and take in feedback (can't promise I'll use everything but will definitely read everything) before I attempt a new thread. Main changes will be around "scaling". E.g rather than allow multiple copies of the same building (which resulted in the buildings menu bloating to the point where it no longer fit in a single update) I'm going to switch to a more "upgrade" based model. Previous building then gets replaced by the upgrade so the size of the buildings menu remains roughly the same. Upgrades will be organized in a tree (with some branches being unlocked automatically while others are gated by various other factors like edicts, faction relation, specific resource access etc.) allowing for more customization of the fortress. Style and domain bonuses will use a point system instead of counts. Also thinking about changing how specialists and labor system works. Currently, as you get more dwarves the number of chambers you can open goes up substantially. This makes the labor allocation choices a bit annoying to write because there are just so many different combinations with so many free dwarves and chambers. Not sure exactly how I'm going to address this yet, but it's definitely on the docket. Going to cut the free action every season as I don't feel it adds that much but is quite annoying to write -- instead replacing it with two things: initiatives and requests. Initiatives are self-imposed quests which, when accomplished, give an appropriate bonus (e.g a trait, a specialist, renown etc.)--they will influence the event pool. Requests are similar except they have a time-limit and are imposed by other factions. They increase relations if accomplished. Good relations will also now give some passive bonuses such as resource access, free gold, specialists, etc. You can have multiple requests active at the same time (though only one per faction) and they can be conflicting, requiring you to choose. Want to also simplify how resources work and the current "route" system for fortress layout to something a bit less hand-wavy.
>>6473909Reads interresting. Can't wait to play that.
Do you need a new thread? If I understand you "just" want to change the way prompts/choices are presented so it is more manageable for you as the fortress grows.I don't think anyone will really object to you just switching up the choice formatting mid-thread. Sorry if I'm trivializing it.Quest is great though, I appreciate the effort you've been putting in.
>>6474713Yep. I ended up reaching the same conclusion! Although the changes ended up being somewhat substantial (will post them soonish; pic related is a sneak preview) I think it makes more sense to just continue and port over the fortress so far into the new ruleset rather than start over from scratch. I've even made changed some of the design decisions based on that assumption.
Beings of Creation: Return of the Gods - PreludeThe wind sweeps over the ocean, carrying with it salt and sea mist. It passes into the thirteen grand cities of Teroti, each one a bustling metropolis of millions. Each one is a bustling microcosm of a nation, bustling with industry and culture, arts and sciences. Each one remains blissfully unaware of the coming upheaval, of the cataclysm that approaches. For the thirteen have forgotten the gods, but the gods have not forgotten them. For now, the gods sleep. For now the thirteen flourish and grow and write their stories, but these stories, no matter how important they are to the thirteen, are only the backdrop upon which the game of gods will be played. ---Welcome to the prelude of BoC: Return of the Gods! This will be a cooperative world building experience focused on building out the identity of the thirteen cities of this world. These thirteen cities will serve as the key objectives, and often battlegrounds in a future game where players will play as the returning gods. Play is straightforward enough, each player can contribute one of the following each turn.> Create a SpeciesTo a max of 10.

Alright, formally acknowledging a close here. It was fun, I'll fill out the rest.
Amidst the trees and rocks of a forest riverbank a prone figure slowly stirs, battered and drenched. Flaxen-yellow hair falls aside as the elf awakens, opening its grass-green eyes to the early-morning light.
>>6464807>Enter the tower>Try to remember something [Remaining Insight: 2]Glad to see you back, OP
>>6464807>Enter the tower>Try to remember something [Remaining Insight: 2]
You will enter the tower.Approaching closer and circling the building, you can see that at four of the eight corners of the base (those pointing out from the side faces of the cube at the top), there are entrances. Around each entrance are several statues of elves in robes, which do not appear magical when viewed through your amethyst pendant. Each statue has a different appearance, some men and some women, though their robes are almost all the same. Some of them seem... Distantly familir to you.Stepping through the double doors woth the least blood nearby, you enter the first floor of the tower. Under the glimmering arcane lights you see chairs, tables, desks, bookshelves, and all other manner of furniture—stone and wooden—overturned and smashed to pieces through the large foyer. There are dull, lifeless inscriptions on several of the bookshelves especially; perhaps meant to preserve their contents, though the books that may once have adorned them wete list to time.Continuing through the next five floors, you find nothing of practical value or concern. Empty bookshelves, broken glasses and alchemical equipment, and the occasional body are all that remains. You pass through lifeless dorms and empty classrooms one after another until, finally, upon the sixth floor you find the first real challenge. The entrance to the sixth floor seems to be some kind of important threshold, guarded by a giant statue or golem made of metal. It is shaped like a lion with wings, and unlike the guardians elsewhere in the city, it is clearly very active. However, the guardian is not the only one in the room. There is a living elf there, dressed in attire completely unlike any you've seen anywhere else, desperately dodging the gargantuan beast's attacks.
>>6466050*with*were lost to timefuck I hate phonepostingThe strange part about the situation however, is that the elf just died. He was crushed into a red stain on the floor in an instant. And yet, he returned to life just as instantly as he died, and in a different location. And you see the elf and the golem play out their motions again, as though nothing happened at all. And this process continues again, and again, and again, as you observe the bizarre situation. Looking carefully through the amethyst pendant, you see something very strange. All of the spells that you know of are written in clear, disting lines and language: a way to communicate one's will to the world more directly. A smudge or other deformity would weaken that intention, and thus the spell as a whole. But the lines that you see here are not words at all, but solely comprised of geometric patterns, and blurred to the point of being difficumt to see at all. The spell encompasses about half of the large room, including the only way past. Part of the spell extends into other rooms behind, and at an angle that might affect the higher floors as well.What kind of thing could do this, to defy even time itself?...And if the strange blurring is not part of the spell itself but truly an error, what terrible power might it possess if performed properly?What will you do?

>>6472848Late to the party but thank you so much for running both this one and three houses quest tree! Having been around to see blue lions lose the how vote in real time to the end of this one is a bit surreal (what do you mean, over five years??). All the comms were really thank you for keeping me entertained all that time, so thanks once again for all your hard work. Really like in this fight whether Blair lived or died was entirely dependent on the goddess (her procs). It's very similar to the Rex fight, only that time Byleth was on her side and this time she wasn't kek. Best part of the quest for me is hands down the narratives the dice rolls gave for the wheel of fortuna. Those double 1s on the last matchup was absolutely insane. Then after that is the whole Elric plotline (really glad you didn't make him a bard) and the changing relationship with Arios....Worst moment of the quest is that damn Alvin not coughing up ice mirror even a whole year later. We are 100% going to get him as a mentor for the mini-Tristains and make him teach them it as soon as they can walk. Maybe sooner.If you're taking one finally Q&A, I'm really interested in how the final fight would have gone if we chose to fly off with the spear instead of snapping it.....and what would the fallout would have been if we hadn't gone with Yulia for the Tristainbowl. Especially if we'd chosen Bronte kek. Think not picking Yulia was a decision which might have changed a lot of endings for team Tristain.Also, what made you pick Cuthbert to suffer all the consequences from the siege? If we'd taken him to the basement, who would have been on the chopping block instead?Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

>>6473394>If you're taking one finally Q&A, I'm really interested in how the final fight would have gone if we chose to fly off with the spear instead of snapping it.Thank you for the extremely kind words! There would have been a 1v1 fight somewhere between Tristain and Ernest where he's using the Spear and gaining its stat boosts. The tradeoff being Morfis would be spared most of its destruction. Without the spear though he didn't see any reason to engage you in human form, and just opted to end things as a dragon.>....and what would the fallout would have been if we hadn't gone with Yulia for the Tristainbowl. Especially if we'd chosen Bronte kek. Think not picking Yulia was a decision which might have changed a lot of endings for team Tristain.I was pretty adamant that if you didn't marry Yulia then you couldn't actually rule Morfis, despite winning the competition. After all, it was a marriage competition. She would certainly be devastated, but you did just save her country, so she can't be too mad. What would actually come next would be entirely dependent on who you ended up with. Even without marrying Yulia, you might decide to stay in Morfis anyway and be in a prominent position, or perhaps continue adventuring somewhere else. Certain people like Cassius and Alvin would likely have the same ending, but I imagine if you did leave Morfis, May would follow you, and Cuthbert would probably just go back to Fodlan and actually retire.>Also, what made you pick Cuthbert to suffer all the consequences from the siege? If we'd taken him to the basement, who would have been on the chopping block instead?From a combat perspective, he's the most "normal" out of everyone, and the least likely to come out unscathed in the disaster scenario that the siege became. Not to mention his age. I don't know if anyone else would have been injured in place of him though. It just seemed right to shake the old man up a bit.>Fortune's weave quest y/n?I still haven't played it, though I do think the game does look like a real slog the more I see of it. In reality though, this is very likely going to be my last quest. Five years is a long time. Life has grown busier, and there are other things I'd like to focus on for the time being. It felt a bit weird waking up today and not thinking about having to put out a new update. There's suddenly all this time that I have available now!
>>6474016YOu'll be back! You'll see! Big T Returns to fight in a Terror From The Deep style war against the latest underwater survivors of Agartha Atlantis. They kidnapped Yulia as a pure agarthan strain or maybe shes dead and hes out for revenge.
>>6474016I've changed my mind on FW since playing it, for what it's worth, the map kind of forces you to play a certain way and manage your time.
You are the Dark Lord come again, the black hand that moves unseen in the shadows. The lidless eye that strips bare all secrets and commands fear with a single glance. The encroaching shadow, which shall surely grind all hope to dust beneath its weight. The master of doom and lord of all the earth. Or at least, you used to be.You were cast down, locked away, and forgotten, but evil always finds a way. After aeons of imprisonment, your power has begun to stir once more, whispering tempting promises of power and conquest into the ears of those who would soon become your mortal followers upon this planet. Now, as you slowly regain your strength and influence, the time will come to reclaim your title as the lord of the earth and once again reign supreme over all. The world has already been touched by your might, and mortal realms will soon tremble at your return, bowing before your dark and formidable presence.Previous threads: https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive.html?tags=The%20Shadow%20Rises%20AnewAbove you, the greatest wedding in all the realm was happening, as young Prince Zahu-ir was to be wedded to the beautiful Lady Zahiryra, who, unbeknownst to most, was a member of the Snake Cult. Your own personal followers who had been seeping into the machinery of government for well over five decades by now. Both because it served your cause and as revenge against he who laid low your first attempt at building a puppet state. By perverting his own descendants, you would see his line ensnared and enslaved to your will, a fitting punishment for his insolence.But you weren't at the wedding; no, you were several storeys below, in the bowels of the palace. Overseeing the 'interrogation' of the wretch Kamal, who tried to overthrow his father just a few short days before the wedding of his own brother!Oh the scandal! You had made certain of it that all the realm had heard from it, and how this devious plot had been foiled by the heroic efforts of none other than the ever-loyal vizier and his guards. Who had arrested and incarcerated the rapscallion Kamal in the opening stages of his vile plot?
>>6474592With not another word spoken, they began packing, crude trinkets and weapons being hastily thrown into bags. A ragtag band which looked more like a convoy of refugees strumpled out of the forest into the moors. They would scavenge for anything salvageable among the ruins, even the stones, to be built into an ad hoc fort from which hunting parties could hunt and capture trolls and other creatures. The mists would hide it from enemies, and the vantage point upon which it was built would hand them the advantage in any conflict for it.There was only one thing you would do before you returned to your other vassals. You needed a captain, or would 'lieutenant' be a more accurate word, someone who could keep this scum in line in your absence and would ensure that operations in this area ran smoothly and efficiently.>Simply pick the biggest and the strongest one, bind him to your will, and put him in charge.>Turn this crude society upside down, the strong shall serve the weak, and the oppressed shall be handed the whip.>Find whatever goes around for a priest or mage, a shaman most likely, put them in charge, and offer him or her knowledge for servitude.

I am rather preoccupied with other matters, so I will temporarily halt updates. I hope to see you soon.
Doomed princes, cunning vagabonds and greedy mercenaries try to prevail in a decaying world. Amongst all men You are Doomed to Greatness, cursed and blessed in equal measure. You will learn: There is no Truth but that of Eternal struggle. You were born to a people considered… >Barbarians >Decadant >Civilized>Please roll 1d20 when you vote.
Alright looks like Witchsight and Elfin Secrets win the vote. VOTE CLOSED.

I hope this isn't another Wux quest, like the cyberpunk one or the orc antipaladin one. It does follow some similar patterns...
>>6454300Don't think so, but this exact quest premise has been run at least two times by my memory, and subsequently dropped fairly quickly. I wouldn't be surprised if QM doesn't have what it takes to consistently write a quest, whether because of IRL scheduling issues or writer's block.
The snowy environment makes quick work of ensuring that the chill atmosphere nips away at you. Wildlife in these parts is scarce right now; whatever footprints and other signs of tracking would normally be here are now only faint traces. Your environment is almost completely blank, covered by snow and frost."You readin' me, Viper?" you hear someone faintly say over your communicator.The earpiece you have also seems to be struggling with the chilly environment. You can just barely make out Hawk's voice on the other end.Deciding to stop for a moment, you adjust the subtly engineered microphone attached to your gear."F-fuck, sometimes I hate having to be the lead on this shit," you tell him, rubbing your arms for warmth as you do."Someone needs to be the eyes here. Remember, I won the coin flip on that one," he says, as if hammering home a point.Cocky bastard, you think to yourself. It's reassuring to know that Hawk is safe, at least.You've got to pull it together a bit better here. This contract is worth a lot of money.

Roll up, roll up, questies and questers, as we venture into uncharted territory for the purpose of fun, creativity, and questy goodness! “But Bones, you magnificent devil, you,” you might be asking, “Aren’t you running a quest already? What are you playing at, you handsome rogue?”The game is simple–hell, you’ve probably played it before! We’re going to run a collaborative quest using one of the most important rules in Improv:‘Yes, AND!’What is ‘Yes, And’, you might ask? An unspoken agreement by two or more actors when creating a scene: if someone establishes a detail, be it a character, a setting, or something else, then that detail is now fact! Your improv partner establishes you’re on a submarine? Up Periscope! Your partner calls you ‘darling’ and gushes over how beautiful your wedding ceremony was? ‘Yes, snookums’!But why? Why not ‘NO, ACTUALLY’? Well for starters, it makes the scene flow better–your partner (or you, perhaps) have a scene idea in mind… swapping it up will bring the scene to a screeching halt… and nothing’s worse than a stalled skit!So here’s how this quest is gonna work: you, yes, you, are going to work with other would-be QMs in writing a QUEST! That’s right–characters, settings, twists, turns… all of it will be entirely up to the players! In order to play, however, heed closely…THE INSTRUCTIONS:>1) We will start by posting a couple of setting ideas. These should be vague–preferably a sentence or two at most. For example: ‘Trapped on a Deserted Island’, ‘Minimum Wage Frycook in Hell’, or ‘Paycheck-to-paycheck Space Bounty Hunter’. If you like someone’s idea, +1 it! This will help us decide what to go with. That’ll be our starting point!>2) If you have an idea for an update, reply to the most recent post with the word ‘TAG’. Whoever replies to the post first gets to write the next update! If one QM appears to be dominating, however, we might make an executive situation to pass it off to the second replier to keep things interesting.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
The opportunity dangles before you like a fresh, undevoured tongue… if these wretches have been here for ages, you reason as you indulge in what passes as a sly, inward grin among White-Tongue Parasites, then surely they’ll know where that accursed demon tube is hiding! … At the very least heading that way might put you back in contact with your allies. THE OVERLORD’s prone to fits of clearing out entire dungeons, sure, but they always manage to find what they’re looking for eventually… Hells, they might be en route already after how many times the ‘Ch’ word was uttered!Right, you begin in the best ‘Chosen’ voice you can muster, their first task is to escort you to the location of the… erm…… Demonic… Cylinder! The Hosts stare at you with near-zombie-like-wait, nevermind, they ARE zombies, kind of!Er, chop-chop, you mutter. … Please?“What… What is this cylinder you speak of, Chosen One?” Inquires The Elder as politely as his ratty host’s mouth can muster! “Not that we’re being defiant, of course!”Comment too long.
