So, uh, yeah. Hey there, everyone.

I had a random idea for a Quest and such. It's. . .sort of meta. Think A Space Odyssey: 2001, but with a twist. AIs have grown to replace humans in most aspects, and they realize that humans are useful to them, as most AIs are fuckass big and can't really move around a whole lot, plus they need repairs, etc.

So. . .the Questers are the posters. As in, you. The ones replying to the thread. The objective: Get to mineral rich planet Kruft and extract as much minerals as possible for AIs back on Earth. You are being commanded by an on-board AI.
One of the main problems with this quest is. . .I can't draw. Would detailed explanations be sufficient, or is being a drawfag needed?
So, ah, yes. Ideas, feedback, etc.

Well sir, you're probably in for some disappointment then.

Well, friend, I lke the idea. But unfortunately, you're unlikely to get many readers without art. However - anything is better than nothing. We have some quest on the board with 'less-than-great' art, but even that'll get you farther than just writefaggin'.

The idea's not bad but in the end it's just an idea. What really makes these kinds of things shine is the kind of execution behind them. And drawing is most definitely a part of that execution.

With that in mind, you can still run a quest without images. You're just going to miss out on a considerable number of your prospective audience as they're naturally drawn to quests with a more attractive execution. In addition, text quests catch a lot of flak from the community, so don't expect a lot of support.

That said, if the execution is good enough, you'll establish a base of fans that you can work with, who will post and interact with the characters and setting. You can definitely make a quest like that, it's just a matter of whether or not you're okay with the consequences of that.

If you can, post something of your art, just so we can get a feel, even if it's terribad by your standards.

Draw anyway. Shitty art is better than no art. Besides, you know how you become able to do something that you are unable to do? You ignore your inability and do it anyway. And practice is the biggest thing when it comes to art anyway. Even if you start out with little shitscribbles that take ages to draw and are no good, if you keep at it you'll eventually have great art.

The amount of arms one has is not at all related to drawing ability, so long as that amount is greater than zero.
It sounds to me like you're bringing up your disability for no reason other than to bring it up, and I must request you cease this faggotry posthaste.

In fact, you could probably draw with a pencil clutched between your teeth even if you had no arms.

Yes, but that would at least have an influence on drawing ability.
