Best of luck recovering!

yeah I think their is some kind of bug going around. Last week I was bed ridden for a day and then felt like crap for the rest of the week. Just finally getting over the damn cough that won't go away in the last few days.

Hope you recover soon.

Waking/Sleeping Ages.

The waking/sleeping age refers to the state of the Dreamer at the time, during a waking age the dreamer is awake, magic slows to a trickle and things get boring. Boring but stable, its a good time for farmers and miners as you can be reasonably certain that the crops/gems you found yesterday will still be there tomorrow, and that the only threats you'll face transporting them are bandits and rival guilds.

During a sleeping age magic surges to a torrent, miracles become commonplace and things get..interesting, your crops may grow a hundred foot tall overnight or uproot themselves and run away while the gems you found hatch into carnivorous bugs half way to town..
A good age for the adventurer as monsters and dungeons are Everywhere, good coin for those tough (or dumb) enough to face them.

These ages last roughly a thousand years each, and seem to correspond to a single day in the Dreamers life, 2000 years equalling (what is believed to be) 24 hours dreamer time.

During a waking age the odds of rising after death grow to about one in a hundred thousand, in a sleeping age they fall to one in a hundred, right now Sidah has good odds for coming back as long as no one beheads her...

The edge and the dome.

While large, the Dreamland is not infinite (unless your in the land of the dead but that's a special case).

Go far enough from the mainland and you will begin to see things become increasingly unreal, eventually reaching the "Edge".

This marks the place where Tharn dissolves into pure Dream stuff, the weave unravels and everything becomes nothing.

Surprisingly, it has been found that this fringe is inhabited, signs of camps, towns and Even small cities have been discovered by the few willing to explore that far, and the dwarves of the frozen north whisper tales of "boarder folk" who watch at the edge of vision.

The truth of these claims has yet to be verified.

This dissolution also occurs when you travel upwards, into the sky.
Interestingly explorers have reported that even as their forward probes begin to dissolve the stars and moon are no closer.

This raises several questions as to the exact nature of the stars, moon and sun, with the previous hypothesis of a "dome of the sky" being proved false.

Hoy, Penn! I have questions about AI development.

First, are there different grades used to classify how "strong" an AI is? Like, maybe at the bottom you just have your regular chatbot that isn't really intelligent, and as it goes up you go to things that are smart at their jobs but not good at anything else, and up near the top you'd have things that can at least try to comprehend and figure out how to deal with things they haven't been prepared for before? Or maybe there's a different system.

Second, how simple is it to make an AI? The method to make CAI AIs, at least, seems to be very organic, as it were. It seems like it's less putting together a mechanism and more like growing, or cooking, or... fermenting? With something as complicated as an intelligence, something that can learn and adapt, it has to be a process that takes time, and must be sensitive. So I wondered: if, for example, you took the same base AI generating program and gave them to two people, and one was someone with a proper professional setup who kept a clinical distance and was always observing the AI as it grew, and the other was some dude cooking it up in his back room computer who liked just chatting with it about anything in a friendly casual way, and sometimes just left it by itself for long periods, would you end up with two significantly different AIs? Would they be different at more than a superficial level?

If so, can AI developers be identified by the AIs they've made? What I mean is, could a certain AI's quirks and mannerisms act as a sort of "signature" for their creator. Like, if you lost a usb drive with one of your AIs on it, and Arza found it, and we assume for this scenario there aren't any tags or notes or other identifiers on it, could Arza interact with/study the AI for a while and eventually go "hmm, this looks like it might be one of Penn's"?

Any character: Asking for a friend who has a knife to my throat.

If you have a baby in your hand, and you know someone who hates you is about to burst into the room, which of the following scenarios would be the funniest:

-You're about to bite into the baby
-You look up and say "Ah, perfect timing! Could you get me some barbecue sauce?"
-*spitting and gagging* "THIS TASTES NOTHING LIKE CHICKEN"
-Throwing it at them

He's asking because he's not good at telling what crosses the line twice.

Belenosians: Does a tendency towards certain horn shapes tend to run in families? Milo and Navanna were siblings, for example, and seemed to both have a front-two-small-back-two-large shape.

Speaking of horns, are there any cultural connotations to using horns in a certain way? Like, is grabbing someone by their horns considered especially rude, or is it considered particularly vicious to actually attack someone with them, when size/shape/situation makes that possible?

Finally... have you guys come up with special pillows to accommodate horns when sleeping? Because it seems like a lot of you would have trouble lying on your back, and others trouble lying on your sides. Lying on your front seems the only position where they couldn't potentially be a problem, but that's not usually the most comfortable for most species. Unless it is, for you guys?

I see that rogues have generation numbers. Does that mean the number of generations since their ancestors went rogue? If an x-gen and a y-gen have a kid, what generation are they on? Are there any significant differences in behavior and empathic dependency between generations?

As for you my friend I suggest you self-reflect. Look in the mirror and as yourself do I make enough money could I do better or should I recycle plastic? But the truth is to not use mirrors because they steal human souls. The things that you see in the mirror are just dubblegangers, humanity should never have looked at its own face or its own refraction. What is skin but a piece of paper that the world uses to write your life, with every scar that time won't heal your mind will remember forever.

Happy Tenth to this quest I was too self-conscious to finish!

Half-jokes aside, this was my first original creative project, and I think the most influential one on me as a creator.

As for if I'll ever come back to it, I don't know. I've thought about it here and there. My conception of these characters has changed pretty dramatically past their depictions here, but sometimes it is fun to think about coming back and seeing what I would do now, compared to what I would do then.

The biggest difference would probably be just letting the audience have fun with these weirdos. The original idea of the quest was just to be a dark comedy about an angry lady, but obviously it became something else. It became more about telling this big, grand, important narrative, and I got way too wrapped up in that to the point where I felt like everything I was doing in the threads just felt wrong. I didn't know if you guys were more in it for the story, or the characters. Nowadays, I just wanna have fun telling stories ABOUT characters, and I realized KQ was at its most fun when it was just that.

Thanks to all the guys who read and participated back in the day. Even when I was at my least confident with what I was making, you all really made this project fun for me.

>>138254
I love(d) Knife Quest with all my heart. Glad to see it still totters around in your mind from time to time.

It was quite fun when it was here I remember, nothing stopping you from restarting or making a new quest if you feel like it, also "first" have you made some other things, I feel those would be interesting to know too

I'd be more than happy to see you back!

Right, that's what I meant. Fen coincidentally runs into Cheese there, she tells him about the mine with undead in it, and he reports to Zall. And if Zall thinks it's important enough, he'll send Fen and a few others to deal with it.

We can only hope then.

Imagine if Fen had killed Cheese.

>>134724
That would have been wack. Look at all the fun things Moss is doing because of Fen spearing her.
Besides, she is a great ally, when she doesn't get into deep shit... like she is right now.

So uh, I hope I’m not being too selfish but I really needed to tell you something Lagotrope. Like, something personally important you did for me. After reading about all of Fen’s adventures and brushes with death (which I must admit you almost gave me a heart attack with worry over leaving our precious boy’s life to a dang dice roll!) It actually has given me a lot of confidence. Like, confidence that maybe with all the actual privelage and opportunity I have that maybe someone as stupid as me actually can survive without my parents. And I know that know because if Fen can do it with everything that’s going against him, what excuse do I have? I’m gonna take charge of my life, and actually learn to be a adult who can take care of themselves without there parents! I’m gonna learn and stop being so lazy! And it’s all thanks to you Lagotrope. Fen is very much a role model to me, as we basically think a lot alike. And I want him to do well, So I’ll do well to stay around and help him! So let’s all do our best to keep Fen safe, since he’s counting on us and I’m in a way counting on him. Hope I didn’t break any rules to say all this Lagotrope sir!

Jesus Christ! NOT SMALL NOT SMALL AT ALL!

Make it so they grow bigger during mating season.
If ya know what I mean.

I'd like to think that both sizes are canon, but the larger than human sizes are very rare because Nubru usually end up somehow getting killed before they grow old enough to get to that size.

So there was an error in the last post here https://questden.org/kusaba/quest/res/1043351.html#1044620.
I misread one suggestor's two separate posts as two separate suggestor comments and it caused a tie I thought needed breaking instead of just the vote for the kitchen in the top left. Sorry about that.

OK I STOPPED MYSELF BEFORE I RECKED MYSELF!


Blemmggalan's: You know how elves and dwarves are just humans with some minor and major changes made to them? This is one of the latter. Sexual dimorphism is cranked to the max for them. For the males are 6 feet tall humanoids with faces on their torsos(Eyes over the nipples, mouth over the belly), and the females are winged women heads with all the internal organs still attached to them. (If you need more refences on them, look up Headless men and Penanggalan)
The males brains are located right next to the heart, only separated by a tin muscle of muscle, but because of this they have worst breathing then a normal human's. The females have a impressive bite strength of 1,000 pounds, making them able to bite though most creatures bones. They also secrete this weird vinegar like substance that covers all their organs, it acts as a disinfectant, stopping bacteria from growing in and on them, and helping heal injury's when they do happen.

And un the topic of intercourse. You know how men have keys and women? Well Blemm's (Calling the men that now) have ovens and Ggalan's have turkeys. What happens first is the Ggalan inverts her body into the Blemm's though the neck hole they have (Think what a human has, but not that at all what so ever dear god it's not like that at all) and when the Ggalan is fully in up to her neck, the Blemm hibernates for 8 months while the Ggalan takes control over the body. After the months are up, the Ggalan leaves the Blemm with the baby. The baby is...just like a normal human baby. That is until they reach t

Why the fu*k is Lidora such a horndog on seeing every single mortal naked??? Like, I mean, sure, I get it. But they’re so hell bent on it and in such a way that, that it’s a kink that they may take too far one day. Am I right? Or is it all just me how weird they’re acting on it?

Partly self-consciousness (attendants doesn't wear clothes, so why should mortals?), partly pride (she helped make pretty fur and scale patterns, and mortals will evolve those away into more skin, less fur and scales) and partly because she sees Farien as the horny one for designing skimpy clothes, which to be fair, she is.

We must all carry our burdens.

For example, I didn't even think of inserting a ton of innuendo into the fondling of flesh-machinery. Absolute missed opportunity.
