I've seen a lot of people complain about a lack of a (good) group here. Meanwhile, /qst/ has multiplayer games as well as solo-character CYOA, often with mechanics and in TTRPG settings. I've even seen people do worldbuilding, evogames, and straight up boardgames on there!>Would you run or play TTRPG on /qst/? Why or why not?>If you have used /qst/ for games, what was your experience like? What quests did you particiipate in?>Do you have any other play-by-post experiences elsewhere? How was it? Is it a good alternative to Discord hell and normie sites?>Do you thing the /tg/ and /qst/ split was to the benefit of either board, in the end?
>>96717449>Would you run or play TTRPG on /qst/? Why or why not?I do. It is surprisingly civil and much more reliable than trying to schedule with a specific group of people for a specific time. In-person games scratch the socialization itch better, but sometimes you just want to play a goddamn game to completion.>If you have used /qst/ for games, what was your experience like? What quests did you participate in?See above. It's a pretty mellow, cozy atmosphere without being overly PC-policed or dominated by obnoxious roleplayers.https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive.html?tags=reptoidqmI've run several sequential D&D style quests there over the last three or four years, and played dozens more.>Do you have any other play-by-post experiences elsewhere? How was it? Is it a good alternative to Discord hell and normie sites?I've been considering teyi g out Akun/Fiction.live, but it seems too pornbrained and the interface is strange to me.>Do you thing the /tg/ and /qst/ split was to the benefit of either board, in the end?It cobtained /qst/ from some of the permanent American Election Brain going in around here, but I think ut was to rhe detriment of both: /tg/ lost a major creative driver and outlet, and /qst/ lost most of its audience and playerbase and fell into obscurity.
i like chatroom play more than play by post
>>96717449Not on /qst/But I am prepping to do a hybrid pbp/c and vtt live sessions for a specific 5e supplement to better accommodate the supplement.But also have been considering it for a West Marches campaign but set in a city of metahumans, so like solo patrols or group teamups to go stop crime and shit while also managing their hero faction if they team up
>>96717844That sounds highly complex. Where do you do the pbp elements?
>>96717449It works.Next question
>>96722145There were four questions, anon.
>>96717449No experience with qst, so can't speak to any of that. Did play by post on a smaller video game forum that's long since died. Wasn't bad, most of the game was easy to control since traffic was limited and as long as you weren't a retard or obviously hostile it was easy to sign up. Later moved to a private discord just before the website went under. Basically, if you want to do a play by post game, you'll need to regularly keep in touch with the various participants in case they don't post for a while, but other than that it's not terribly different from roleplaying any other way.
