Yes.

Most of them aren't even quest threads; they're nothing more than newfags asking the equivalent of chess strategies they copypaste from instruction manuals.

I was thinking of starting one actually ;_;

I didn't think they used to be that big of an issue but now they're drowning all the other threads

Yeah, a few faggots are getting tired of seeing a handful of threads that are not relevant of their interest on their beloved board instead of another handful of threads that might not be relevant to their interests either.

I don't like having to scroll past them looking for the good stuff. Who the hell joins a quest midway through? I sure don't.

There are 15 pages of board remember

>>19437875
>Struggling to troll
There's a difference when it's overdone.

Yea I am. Everytime I open /tg/ all I can really find are quest threads. The only reason I could discuss Warmahordes is because of Lock n Load last week got some excitement going but otherwise it's impossible to find a decent thread about it anymore.

There arent really that many of them but they all seem to be happening at the same time which makes it annoying to browse the board at certain times.

It wouldnt be as bad if there was one at a time I suppose.

god yes, most of them are complete shit too

theyre like the tg equivalent of general threads, but moot doesnt love us enough to give them their own board

>>19437875
All I'm saying is most of the time when I come on here now everything is quest threads and when I try to start a thread about something besides a quest thread it gets buried before anyone sees it

>>19437863

Quest threads are /tg legal. cry harder into your ramen, aspies.

also: 15 pages of /tg. Yes, there's more than page 0

>>19437884

Are you seriously suggesting that anyone gives a shit about anything past page 5?

Unless I'm looking for a specific thread I saw before I never bother.

At any given time there's 2-4 on the front page and it drowns out everything else

>>19437875

Yes because god forbid we want some balance.

Do you have any idea how 4chan works?

A PSA to everyone saying "it's only 5 threads out of 150, fucking deal with it"

Quest threads are more or less guaranteed to be bumped constantly until dying, meaning they will always be on the first 1 or 2 pages, which are by far the most important pages of the board.

Don't even pretend that you don't come to /tg/ and leave if you don't see something interesting on the first page or two a fair amount of the time.

Some of the quest threads are great, but some are really random and dumb.

And what's up with that Modern Fantasy thread? We have a permanent FFRP thread on /tg/ now? C'mon, guys.

Additionally, why are there so many goddamn animu quests now? That shit belongs on /a/. I know Moot and the mods view all quests as "traditional games", but most quests are at least /tg/-related; Schoolgirl Panty Quest Episode LXVIII is not.

I swear, I am the one guy who doesn't have a problem with finding non-quest threads.

Do i have a shitty superpower or something?

>>19437948
You used to be able to come to /tg/ and ask about something you were interested in and people would actually see it and respond. Now newcomers are screwed because of quest threads

I don't even see the appeal of quest threads. I guess if you don't have a play group in real life its nice to play something but it just isn't the same

>>19437978
I don't have a problem finding normal thread; I just have a problem with the high volume of threads that just don't go to page 15 & get cropped.

If you want a good quest played through correspondence, I think it should be done at least through an instant chat or an actual forum (it sure beats anonymous image boards that are more suited for newsflashes & quick questions/opinions).

The only good ones were Ruby Quest and the Tau Quest, I think it was called. Maybe Zenon Quest, I dunno, it looked good to an outsider but I have no way of knowing for sure.

Everything else is just more shit I have to scroll past to get to threads about Garruk raping Liliana.

>not using 4chan catalog
>laughing techpriests.jpg

I have a confession to make then. I play nationbuilders, can't get enough of them.

PSA to sperglords whining about quest threads.

Quest threads are legal on /tg. The matter was decided years ago. sage.

I've disliked them ever since /tg/ was created. One or two a week is fine and dandy, drowning everything in them is shit.

>>19437875
Contrary to what this eloquent fella is saying, having to dig through twenty quest threads to find D&D/WH40k&F/WarmaHordes/Pathfinder/FoW/you-know-actual-traditional-games is not good, and it has never been good. Mods have had to come in and clean them out before, after all.

ITT: Getting buttmad over nothing. Do you guys realize you've bitched about how 75% of threads are 40k and D&D before? And yet this has like, never happened?

Yes. I ignore them and theres no problem.
Stop bitching and post a thread about something worthwhile.

>>19438050

Catalog's a useful tool, but it's largely irrelevant in discussing what is good for the board, because the majority of users don't use the catalog.

>>19438059
Ponies were legal before the creation of /mlp/, doesn't mean that they weren't a problem.

When 50% of the frontpage is quest threads on a regular basis, that's a problem. Quest threads are a more regular fixture on the frontpage than 40k threads at this point.

Buttmad is a bit of an overstatement. It's just kind of annoying after a while and a legitimate concern for certain types of threads. I don't think anyone here is raging like /co/ rages about the endless tide of Korra threads.

>>19437974
Email moot and tell him this. That's how shit gets done.

>>19438059
Obviously they're legal, dumbass.

The issue isn't their legality; it's their frequency, abundance & the fact that most of them turn into failed troll threads that only attract /b/tards.

And this is probably the only decent board on 4chan where people are actually intelligent; we don't want to end up like /g/ with their retarded Mac/Windows/Linux threads, /pol/ with their struggling to troll other like-minded trolls or /toy/ with their dildo threads.

There are far too many quest threads, and also far too many retards leaving out the final '/' in board names. Don't know why. Maybe it's something that came up on /b/ recently. Anyway, TGchan exists for quest threads. We don't need ten different quests on /tg/, especially ones about totally /tg/-unrelated topics that we happen to like because we're still on 4chan and into anime.

Seeing as summer is coming this might not be all bad.

I will once again point out that the situation with quest threads is very similar to the situation /v/ faced with general threads; generals were *always* clogging up the frontpage and hindering discussion.

Sure, the exact quest may rotate, but it's the same principle; you've got a few recurring threads constantly hugging frontpage space.

Personally I dislike the anti-Tau stuff more. The Tau stuff's just innocent, easily ignorable roleplaying, but when a would-be Tau player comes on here and the replies are full of 'your faction is shit', it's kinda obnoxious.

>>19438180
I'm not saying thats a good thing either, at least those are /tg/ related. I don't consider playing role playing games on an internet image board traditional

>>19438163

Yeah, this. Will do.

>>19438180
Again, just look at the frontpage over the course of a few days. You'll find that there are more quest threads on the frontpage than 40k threads.

Also, /tg/ came out of Warhammer Wednesdays. Much of /tg/'s OC is 40k-related. 40k has been an integral part of board for years, and will likely continue to be so in the future.

>>19438197

This is a board for furries trying to imitate Ruby Quest, Prequel and Homestuck
It's only populated by people who want to do only this. It would require all of /tg/ to migrate on this board in order to make our kind of quests survive.

nothing of interest, move along

Take away the porn, consider the fact that the amount of DMs and players actually playing is low on /tg/ and you have people who don't game but want to. Quest threads are closest they can get to it. What else would you expect? Civilized conversation? They can have that in real life, or at least on a chat program if they're too neckbeard to have any friends outside of the computer.

it's virtually impossible to clutter a board unless you spam the board with dozens of threads simultaneously and constantly keep them up.
Otherwise, it's not a nuisance.

That was my initial impression too, but there's more on there than that. For example, the guy who does/did Keychain of Creation has a similarly Exalted-based quest there, if you like that sort of thing.

And it's not only /g/ with Stallman shitposts. I swear; people post nothing but spam & then the odd person gets banned for 2 days for posting pornographic ascii art to fa/g/gots.

And /toy/ has the same problem with /b/tards & /g/aylords posting dildo threads. And lets not forget /adv/ with people pretending to have the most outlandish mental illnesses.

I've got no problem with quests, they just take up a lot of space.

I'll pop on to /tg/ hoping to find an interesting topic but the first two pages are 40k or Quest Threads, so I just periodically check on it as I dick around /v/

>>19438318

/tg/'s something like the 13th-fastest board out of all of the chans, IIRC. It's not super fast, but it's much faster than some of the slower boards here.

I love how you guys bitch about 40k threads and yet youre 100% more likely to find MTG or threads relating to PNPs on the front page

Plus 40k threads die pretty quickly unless theres a new release

>>19438362

No, it's not, but that's not the issue.

The issue is that many people WILL leave if they don't see anything interesting on the frontpage, which hurts discussion.

I don't need more of a proof than that, you only need to bring me a handful of counter-examples.

Oh, pardon. I thought the focus was on the "furry" rather than the examples. What's wrong with using prequel's style? It's quite accomplished, visually, I think. People imitate things they like. That's how... well, a lot of things work.

Besides, the first thread of that quest was created before Prequel existed.

>>19438335
Ha! I normally spell 'catalogue' correctly, but as the 4chan one has a title and it's even in the URL I go uneducated heathen colonial and call it 'catalog'. Always remember: we can freely descend to their level for our own entertainment, but they can never rise to ours.

Ironic that the anti-quest thread is being bumped more than all of the actual quests.

I guess it comes down to if you believe quest threads are traditional games. I don't think they are

>>19438415

That's 13th out of ALL the chans, not just 4chan.

/tg/'s a lot faster than people think, it could easily survive quest threads being booted somewhere else.

>>19438427
2-4 quest threads are on the frontpage more or less 24/7 (the Modern Fantasy FFRP thread counts as a quest thread).

>>19438419
I thought he liked hugetau... although yes, I do recall issues with Xeno.

>>19438392
the problem is that it's not adapted to a lot of things commonly found in /tg/'s quest, and that, since it seems to be the only type of quest tgchan likes, proposing them our kind of quest would result in a thread dying slowly, or progressing at an astonishingly slow rate.

So, as I said, either organize a mass-migration of /tg/ questers on tgchan, or just abandon the idea of doing quest threads over there.

>That's 13th out of ALL the chans, not just 4chan.
Ooooooh. Gotcha.


So hey I have a question.

/tg/ is generally taken to be board games, card games, pen-and-paper games, roleplaying games, and wargames. Derived from that is storytelling, what-if scenarios, history (I love /tg/'s Rome threads, rare as they are), painting, 3D printing, gentlemanly behavior, old video & computer games, and much else besides.

But -- and I ask this curiously, not in an accusatory manner -- how does one defend quest threads about topics not related to this at all? For example, a Zoids quest, or Fate/Stay Night quest. Both are either /a/, /co/, and/or /v/ related, through their different mediums. They do not relate to /tg/. The quests themselves are freeform, not following any laid down rules or guidelines besides "do what most people want to do." Why should such quests be on /tg/ and not on /a/?

>>19438525
Yeah, I'm not saying it's impossible to organize another similar mass-migration (although it'd need to be twice bigger) I'm saying that it's necessary if you want to quest over here in decent conditions.

They left because the moderators of that time period were permanently banning quest authors on sight.

Of course good sir, if you were here then, you would know this.

I'm getting pretty fucking tired of all the threads about how there are too many quest threads.
Yes, too many people are making new quests that suck and only get 3 replies that aren't their own, but that doesn't mean that you need to make 50 threads complaining about it.
Stop being autistic, start using the fucking catalog and if that's not good enough well, too fucking bad, maybe you should just kill yourself.
Unlike quest threads, metathreads are explicitly against board rules. If you really care enough, email moot or get on irc.

>>19438512
What, not even roleplaying over IRC or something?

Mind you, I find the 'traditional games' name funny. Pong actually predates D&D...

You know guys...

Not to sound like a troll, but RPGs, tabletop war games & animé collector card games aren't exactly considered "traditional" (especially when compared to oridnary playing cards, tarot cards & board/parlor games that had their roots before the 20th century).

At times you even get trolled by the mention of people wanting to add a D&D combat element to chess (which it used to have when the Moors introduced the game to spain during the Arab invasion, thanks to India).

>>19438554
The quests are, in one form or another, roleplaying, making them a rather freeform type of role-playing game or RPG.

This

>>19438554

Welll...

The first quests were directly /tg/-related. Ruby Quest, which popularized quests, actually began on /b/, but the author found it hard going and moved to /tg/, where people responded better. So perhaps the audience here is more suited to questing? We tend to be more towards the puzzle-solvey-explorey-story skill-and-interests set. The closest other board would be /co/, making the argument that image quests, at least, are a form of comic.

You could also draw a link between the interactive storytelling of quests and the GM-players arrangement of tabletop RPGs.

>>19438583
'Traditional' doesn't necessarily mean 'old'. I think modern tabletop games can be called 'traditional' in the sense of 'not using computers'- i.e. they make a virtue of being low-tech, sitting round a table, rolling dice, painting stuff... it all has a quaint 'traditional' feel to it, style of thing.

I'd say that's tenuous at best, though.

That's like calling the "MEANWHILE, at the Legion of Doom" RP threads on /co/ a "traditional game" that should be on /tg/ because people are roleplaying.

>>19438554
As far as I can tell, quests that were originally on /a/ and such were being deleted and they've been forced onto /tg/ since that's where quests are supposed to be. That's what I've heard at least - I'm not sure how accurate it is.

Do they actually ban quest threads on /a/ and other boards? I wouldn't know because I have zero interest in Chinese cartoons.

>>19438646
>Painting stuff
Only tabletop RPGs & war games with heavy marketing of unpainted models have such a thing; I've never had to paint my Snakes & Ladders pieces & assemble the snakes/ladders for my board.

Nor have I ever needed to hand-print any of the 78 cards of my tarot deck.

>>19438656
Now, now, your example is related to both /tg/ and /co/ and as such, should be posted where it would be most appreciated.

>>19438683
Official moderation policy is to steer quest threads towards /tg/

The only way we can change that is to complain.

>>19438683

Yes. /jp/ had one which was quickly shut-down after the board was created.

>>19437827
Anyone else getting tired of all the anti-quest thread meta threads?

>>19438697

Right, /co/ is the comics board, so comics-related roleplaying should go there.

Why, then, do we have high-school anime quests on /tg/?

>>19438714

Except the second, those all sound good. I'd follow 'em.

>>19438716
Because /jp/ and /a/ are not the boards where those things are most appreciated.

>>19438692
Yeah, that was just an example- it's something that these days has a slightly retro feel to it. I'd have to say, though, that I don't think I've ever seen tarot cards or snakes and ladders discussed here. Not sure it's even POSSIBLE to discuss snakes & ladders, actually...

>don't you just hate that giant snake right before the finish?
>yup, sure do

>>19438714
FUCKING YES.

Hey! Idiots! If you dislike /a/'s awful threads being directed here, go email moot about it!

I'm going to wager that more posters do not use the catalog than posters who do, meaning that catalog-users end up basically replying to themselves. This means the front pages, also known as the "active discussions", are much more relevant when discussing the content of /tg/.

Also, quests are just plain shitty these days. I mean, did you see Mad Scientist Quest? That was terrible.

>>19438716
Because we have trolls that slip past the mods' idea of etiquette on anonymous boards.

You obviously didn't see Chinaman Quest. Mind you, as OP was a real person of Chinese descent, he was too stereotypically hard-working to actually run it for any length of time. But it was hilarious and educational.

>>19438733
You know what; since this post is just another shitpost talking about how we all hate shitposts...

ITT: Don't you just hate that fuckin' snake on square 99 of the board? Snakes & Ladders my ass!

Does Moot even actually read all those emails he must get?

>>19438705
Good question.

Why does /tg/ - Tradition Games have a quest entirely about anime and yanderes and, well, nothing /tg/-related? It's not right. There are no rules, no basis. It's just freeform RP. It has no place here if it is not related to the board's topics and is entirely related to another board.

>>19438770
I did and I also did not like it, sir. If you're going to run a Quest in the style of old adventure games, you should actually have real problem-solving elements, exploration, and meaningful inventory. These quests just look like garbage made up on the spot.

>>19438796
The more you protest something the better the odds of what you want to happen, happening

>>19438799
Wait till you've tried 4th edition Snakes & Ladders; it's nothing but ladders until the big-ass snake at square 100 taking you back to square 1.

Fuckin' 4th edition.

Damn it, why doesn't that board have dice, I could run a nation-builder on there and the the turns could be paced over a week instead of having to be squashed into a few hours one or two nights per week.

>>19438823
>Mahou Shonen Quest
>Manic Sousuke Quest
What about Mad Scientist Quest? Is that one cool?

>>19438836
Not that I'm advocating quest threads, but "pretend" is the most traditional game of all.

Would anyone want to see a specific quest done right?

File: 1339380497308.png-(209 KB, 1250x1250, Sohwell.png)

>>19438844
But quest threads are harmless good sir.

Who even cares about the front page anymore? When there's 14 other pages filled with wonderful content?

>>19438842
Well, I'll admit that the actual game elements weren't as good as the writing. But the writing was actually excellent for something improvised, and that made it a good time.

I can understand why quest threads are grating on the nerves of some people and not some others. It would be nice if there were less of them and if people would stop making quest threads only to abandon them a few days later.
>>19437974
Mostly because they get banned in /a/ and the fact that they're allowed here encourages more people to come here to create their own quest threads of their own imagining.

A large amount of /tg/'s population only comes here for those threads, you must realise.

>>19438836
i believe it's here because a freeform roleplay is still roleplaying, and >expecting anything constructinve from /a/, /v/, or /vg/

>>19438886
I want to see WFRP quest back, because I love rolling dice. It was basically railroaded as hell, but I didn't even care because DICE.

I will totally volunteer to create questchan if people will use it. It might be a good bed for implementing other features good for play by post gaming of that sort.

>animu quest threads on /a/
"Fuck off to /tg/."
>animu quest threads on /tg/
"Fuck off to /a/."

They all wind up staying here because we don't bitch quite as loudly as /a/.

This reminds of of the General threads that used to plague /v/
Need we petition moot to make a Choose Your Own Adventure board?

>>19438866
Aaah, but the quest threads are not the same thread repeated ad nauseum. There is plot progression, unlike the stagnation shown in these threads.

>>19438889
>A large amount of /tg/'s population only comes here for those threads, you must realise.
That's unlikely. I highly doubt you have any evidence to back that up. I remember when /tg/ was not greatly populated with quest threads, and it was still about as fast as it is now. And mostly about actual /tg/ topics.

>>19438931
Sir give it dice and separate boards based on type of quest and I will love you forever.

>>19438889

If they're only coming for quest threads, then they're only posting in those quest threads, and moving them to another board will result in literally no difference in /tg/.

>>19438944
see:
>>19438197

>>19438887
Actually sergalfag, there's 16 other pages.
/tg/ has 17 pages now.

>>19438931
I'm up for it, man.

You have any specific board software you'd recommend?

File: 1339380773482.jpg-(9 KB, 248x268, Sgeneric1.jpg)

>>19438931
So a second exodus is in progress?

I wonder how many more sister quest boards will follow.

>>19438947
So you think that most of the people who participate in the /a/-based quests are people who frequently come here anyway? Of course some of them are without a doubt, but I find it difficult to believe that the majority of them even give a shit about any other facet of /tg/.

>>19438966
Interested in making a questchan too.

Anyone has an e-mail or something?

>>19437827

So to conclude, no.

Shitty metathreads are worse than questers. At least some questers create OC.

>>19438974
I'd expect that there'd be at least a linkback to /tg/ & a sticky on /tg/ redirecting all quests to the new area.

>make another board for quests
You'd have to advertise it constantly to actually achieve anything.
And we all know how 4chan in general likes other sites being advertised on it.

>>19438958
>>19438978
Right, so, direct them to somewhere already about quest threads, or make a new place and kick them over to it.

Moot doesn't like making new boards, remember. I'm surprised it took this long to get >>>/wsg/

>>19438931
>I will totally volunteer to create questchan if people will use it
This is actually a great idea. You could have closed threads so people could do proper non-crowdsourced roleplaying, as well as open ones.

>>19438966
I'm already in the process of getting it set up.

>>19438984
I could probably use staff.

http://cbe003.chat.mibbit.com/?server=irc.rizon.net&channel=#questchan for discussion?

>>19439004
>You could have closed threads so people could do proper non-crowdsourced roleplaying
So it would be like IRC, only with images.

>>19439004
...plus the imageboard format is great for showing maps, mood-setting pictures, etc.

>>19438941
And our mod technically doesn't have reasons to ban them.
/a/'s mod doesn't give a shit and kicks their asses out whether it's within the rules or not.

>>19438946

Quest threads are functionally the same thread repeated ad nauseum.

Some stats from sup/tg/:

Quest threads archived from 6/7 to present: Roughly 40-45 threads, including 5 or 6 new quests.

Non-quest threads archived from 6/7 to present: THIRTEEN.

At the very least, they could give us a sticky which encourages users to create quest threads at an auxiliary board like tgchan.

>>19439018
>I'm already in the process of getting it set up.
Hahaha oh wow.
This is going to be hilarious.

>>19439049
Im not sure I follow?

>>19439004
But this already fucking exists.

It already exists.

You people are so scared of nonhuman humanoids, you actually ignore something that does exactly what you want.

Good lord, you are fucking sad.

nope. I am getting kind of sick of all the metathreads bitching about quests though. "OMG, THEYS BLOTTING OUT ALL THE GOOD CONTENT!"

like what? 40k? the D&D stickies? More arguing about mana weaving and netdecking? Bitching about that guy, or going to a GW store? Yep. sure is quality content.

additional: there's more than one page. /tg/ is not Page 0 -> 404. there are 15 additional pages.

>>19439038
/tg/chan is a completely unaffiliated board. It's not an auxiliary of anything. It doesn't even have staff in common.

>>19438888
Most of these "quests" don't have any game elements and are just a bunch of people shouting ideas on what should happen next. I also find the writing to be less than noteworthy.

>>19439064

There are 15 additional pages, and 4chan catalog is a great tool.

Doesn't change the fact that the frontpage and the next 1 or 2 pages have a massively disproportionate impact.

>>19439038
Rather than bitching, I'm just going to create a new chan with features and functionality to make quests easier to post and maintain.

>>19439063
Everyone wants it off of /tg/. I'm going to offer a constructive alternative that's more suited to quest threads via better features. If it fails, whatever, no sweat off my back, but I'd rather do something positive than contribute to the constant complaining.

>>19439063
Pretty sure its more a matter of taste than fear.

>>19439063

Where the fuck are you getting those stats from? I can count more than six non-quest threads archived in the last 24 hours, let alone 3 days.

http://tgchan.org/

here look, a board dedicated to quests! but everyone here says they hate it!!

>>19439091
>>19439096
All I ask is that you give it a dice roller and make it nation builder compatiable. So us despots can stop bothering /tg/ with our antics too.

>>19439077
When making quest threads, I personally try to design core game mechanics, as well as challenging environments for the players. I've actually got an itch to make one recently but I'm on the side of the whiners.

Yes, everyone here can operate around quest threads, there's more pages than the front page, there's room for 150 different threads on /tg/ and so on. In the end though, it still inconveniences people and it's surprising that people don't understand that. It doesn't matter what alternative things people can do to get around quest threads, if it makes browsing /tg/ inconvenient, then something's wrong in my opinion.

>>19438984
>>19439018
It's not going to work. This is the same reason /tg/chan was created and look how that turned out. How do you plan to get the word out? How will you make people move their quests to your board? Part of the reason quests stayed on /tg/ was the high traffic that made attracting participants easier, how will you attract people to the site?

>>19439090
tgchan.

http://tgchan.org/kusaba/quest/

We have a board for discussing quests, running them, and archiving them. We have a wiki so you can keep track of info. We have two IRC channels for discussion. We have so much shit to help a quest runner run properly it's a god damn embarrassment that you guys are trying to start another one. It's RIGHT THERE. And the ONLY reason I see against using it is because of the content already there. SO FUCKING WHAT? write your own shit. Get your own writers. The man behind Grendel, that 40k thing, quests there. Why are all of you so allergic to a bit of furry? Are you afraid they'll force you to post things you don't fucking want to?

Ironic isn't it?

And just think in the next 2 or 3 years, when quest thread start becoming a problem once again, those anon will leave and start their own quest board too.

History does repeat itself it would seem.

Doesn't bother me. I'm used to having a fair chunk of the front page usually being filled with stuff I'm not interested in. Doesn't matter if it's quests or something else entirely.
Here on /tg/, I find Warhammer is generally as bad as quest threads as far as cluttering the front page with stuff I'm not interested in. But I don't worry/complain about it because (a) that's what the catalog and thread hiding are for, and (b) I know that it's a relevant and popular part of the board. Quests might not be *quite* so significant as WH (given the history of the board and all), but they're still relevant and clearly they're reasonably popular.

>>19439146
FURRIES

Aren't you the faggot running the Fate/Stay Night quest here?

Why are you ruining the board? Why aren't you posting on /tg/ only to say "hey, come over here to TGchan, I have a quest here"?

>>19439143

Set filter to "Hide Quests" and count again.

6 have been archived today, and added to the total from the past 3 days that makes 14 non-quest threads total

That's mostly irrelevant compared to the total number of quest threads though. 45 in 4 days, all of which were likely in the front several pages for a considerable time, and a significant number of which were new.

>>19439157
Actually the only reason Im against it is the lack of dice roller. I kind of like using randomization rolls in my games.

>>19439177
Can you really mean that?

Can you really draw that line?

Can you really say, No, we can't have a quest about werewolves? Can you really say, no, we cant have a quest about mouse guard? Can you really say, no, we can't have a quest based on this homebrew setting, because it might be furry? Because that's what it'll take.

>>19439177
is that what you really think?

someone will cite the 10% rule and make a quest with that type of character, and then furries will cite that character as an invitiation of FULL STEAM AHEAD. you'll get furry content within the week even without that scenario.
