I am highly displeased with this. May as well lock the quest thread. Discussion should be in here anyway.

rage lvl: 1000%

Well that's disappointing as all hell.

Yeeeeaaaah. I'm kinda done with Aberration. I know people liked it but I didn't really end up caring much for it since I fucked it over so many times and made the plot just as schizophrenic as its main character.

TL;DR: Too many ideas caused it to pile up harder than a de-railed train.

would rather it of just been dropped then it being all a dream. AGAIN. all a dream means that everything that has happened so far was completely pointless, while an open end would mean that while it isn't going forward we had some impact on the character.

>>345831
Not to mention it originally started out as a spin-off/rip-off of RubyQuest back during the Pchat days, and basically was that way when the quest first started. Then I go and switch it into the Tozol Quest universe for some reason which I don't even know anymore.

I mean fuck, it got to the point where there was hardly anything in it that was actually mine. Goddammit.

So yeah. I'm just extremely apathetic about the whole thing right now. Is it ended? Maybe. Fuck if I know right now.

Well, I was going to make threatening gestures in IRC until I realized that that was actually an end. Response reduced to flipping a piece of cardboard. (ﾉ-_-)ﾉ━

>Then I go and switch it into the Tozol Quest universe for some reason which I don't even know anymore.
The universe seemed cooler before I forgot how to update?

I think the main problem with this quest was that it tried to tie-in to too many other ongoing or completed quests at the same time. I was okay with the Ruby Quest style myself (I mean the Barbed Wheel is like one of the main symbols of the quest right?) but when it suddenly went OHBTW IT'S TOZOLQUEST NAO I think the real problems started.

I'd like to see more of this quest myself, but only after an overall theme/style is finally figured out. (Though preferably more like when the Quest started as opposed to the TozolQuest stuff imo)

As always I'm sorry if I stated the obvious or said anything really stupid. xnx

>>345836
Naw, that had (has?) nothing to do with it. Just me being stupid and ripping off of other people instead of just doing something of my own creation.

Damn it, now how can I destroy the world, or worlds? Now I'm going to have to do it in another quest, which I was adimitedly planning to do all along anyway. But now I get out less potential for world destruction.

>>345832
>It was all a dream again
Iunno, that seems an entirely fitting way for this quest to end. :V

So, quick question.

If I did another quest (something new), what kind of setting would you all prefer? Fantasy? Modern? Science-Fiction?

I've got ideas for all three kinds but I want to see what the public is more interested in.

Fantasy.

let's stay away from sci-fi for now. think fantasy would be best.

>>345893
Depends on the sort of ideas you'd be pursuing in those settings, really.

>>345893
I'd like to see a modern setting (maybe 2020-ish?) as long as it contains HORROR.
I want to feel that feeling of looming evil. I want something to keep me up at night. I want Eldritch abominations, high octane nightmare fuel, violence, paranoia, fast-paced bloody action, creepy places, scary animated gifs, ghosts, hard-to-solve puzzles, let me see the cutest girl ever having a psychotic rampage, Shyamalanic twist endings etc. I want to read the most disturbing thing ever!!



Yeah, I'm not a fan of sleeping...

I have to admit though that you were doing an exceptional work with the first two chapters of Aberration (which actually got me hooked)... but I slowly started to loose interest with so many changes every time we got to the next chapter, man.
I want you to know that I like your art (your style is very attractive) and that I like the way you narrate the story, but you lost me between chapters and the fact that it got a lot like Tozol quest. But hey, I'm still reading it and I'll try to keep up with the next chapter, but if you're feeling like staring a new quest I'll look forward to it!

Pre-historic, no one tackles that shit. It'd be badass to be UGHUGH the caveman swinging his fucking club at a raptor.

But seriously, let's just get with the fantasy.

>>345893
Already been through modern and sci-fi. Lets go with fantasy, some world shattering spells can surely be found. Or world dominating ones.

I'd like to see more Chole at some point in the future.


But at the moment - modern or futuristic stuff sounds the best.

Futuristic, but none of that "Escape from the Military Facility" stuff. If it's a futuristic setting then maybe have it take place in a city over an old city, and have the unfathomable horror lurking beneath the streets in the old city or something. :V

I'll vote fantasy,
cause last time I voted Sci-fi I got "lost planet"

>>345916

Why are you complaining :<

>>345902
I'm interested to see what you could do in a fantasy setting.

I vote fantasy, too. It's fun to mix it up.

Fantasy it is then :V

Already have a few ideas floating around, I just need to settle on a plot for said quest. ETA, eh, at least before the end of the month?

Chloe in a fantasy setting.

>>346028
Is this an invitation for plot suggestions?

Boy meets girl, becomes infatuated. Girl swallows sun, becomes tyrannical magical overlord. Suggesters define the rest.

Something with Dark Paladins.
Need more lawful evil characters in quests, i tell you.

I vote Sergals.

Plot suggestions?

A dragon hunter that gets turned into a dragon.
>>346057
Plus nice girl goes blood drunk
>>346058
Plus Dark Paladins

There, basic plot ready to serve :)

>>346084
Yesssss

I vote against sergals. There's too much baggage. Preconceived notions etc.

Chole in a fantasy setting.

>>346084
Upon closer inspection, the sergals turn out to be made of sergals.

>>346112
Upon even closer inspection, the entire universe is made out of microscopic sergals

doobies are the only correct choice here

>>346132
Now, that would be fun.

>>346086
>Dragon hunter -> Dragon
The dragon's long dead, but died in seclusion. You head up into an empty lair, fall asleep on the hoard, whose latent magical potential chooses you as the new owner.
SHENANIGANS ENSUE.

>>346136
>latent magical potential chooses you as the new owner.
The normal way of it isn't just lolmagic, but that coveting the dragon-less hoard causes you to become the dragon.

I would not be opposed to another dragon quest. Or even another half-dragon quest.

>>346140
Yes, but this lets us play the hoard.

Here's a bit of plot for you, expanding on the blood drunk girl, dark paladins and the dragonhunter turned dragon. Spoilered to hide the plots, in-case any are picked up.


You being turned into a dragon is a plot by an order of dark paladins
Reasons?
Revial of a Dark Dragon
For the Evulz
Some nebulous plan
For immortality/invincibility(apparently good things happen when you kill a dragon, unless you are in Tale of the Guardians)
To get a source of dragon's blood

Alternatively the Dark paladins served a dark dragon and think you are their master reborn, you have to play along so as you aren't killed. hjinks ensue...

Now for the Blood drinker...
NOT A VAMPIRE! Have her cut open beings and drink the gushing blood.

Now you can have it that;
She is evil and enjoys being blood drunk
She is a nice girl but she just sometimes gets so HUNGRY!!!!
She is mindless completely drunk on blood.
Or go the multiple personalities route... or Yangire

Amnesia is good for fun with this person

For added horror, make it unclear who the blood drunk girl is (have multiple suspects)

Now as to why?
She is a walking sacrifice, instead of collecting people to be sacrificed, she drinks their blood, so when the time to revive the dark whatever comes only she needs to be caught

Or Somebody is trying to make a god/demon
Or she is...

Or Food for the dark dragon.

For added horror, have it that she has as many 'lives' as those whose blood she has drunk.

Dark Paladins being related to her is optional.
Also Cult of BLOOD!, who have the usual world destruction fetish, have them be chaotic stupid, in contrast to the fallen paladins who are not stupid, also have the paladins range in evilness, and lawfulness Call it DRAGONBLOOD!
Include much navel pondering about blood and how it changes things and connects things

Throw in a mysterious wizard/witch whose's motives are nebulous, other dragons, dragon hunters who knew you and UNCORRUPTED paladins too. Oh and smart sentient sapient skeletons. Cause talking, moving skeletons are awesome!

>>346143
oh, that's actually a quite nice idea. I still feel the coveting is important, though. And the problem with the hoard being us is that hoards are very non-portable.

>>346145
Most of those are combinable. In particular:

>She is evil and enjoys being blood drunk
>She is a nice girl but she just sometimes gets so HUNGRY!!!!
She is a nice girl but she enjoys being blood-drunk. Sort of like how nice girls in real life enjoy being normal-drunk. This can function as a sort of a sex metaphor thing as per older vampires. And she gets a bit crazy when drunk on the blood.

also
>Walking Sacrifice
>Food for Dark Dragon
Fuse these. She collects the blood for the dragon. He drinks the blood from her body, and it increases his power. I don't know what for of power would be increased, exactly. I guess it would be the same style of dark magic used by the paladins. Presumably the dragon's eating of things directly would also be related to this, but far less efficient since the girl is designed for the purpose.

Also the two were a couple before this, the Dark Paladins serve the dragon but I like that hoard idea. So maybe they served the old dragon, and then a new guy became the dragon, so they serve him, and turned his girl into the sacrificial vampire, with or without the Dragon's permission.

I reckon the game should start with the main character just having become the Dragon, with the Paladins appearing shortly after some initial character creation and monologuing about the tragedy of having become a dragon. The girl would have remained at home while her man went to act out his greed and seize the dragon's treasure.


However note that Theta has not actually answered the question "Is this an invitation for plot suggestions?". Maybe he doesn't even want these ideas.

>>346147
While I already have something quite different in mind for my next project, I still find this all amusing. Might not go remotely near the way you all are theorycrafting but some elements I might utilize.

>>346148
Good that you're getting some ideas percolating... I might do something with some of the stuff I mentioned myself.

I'm interested to see what you come up with anyway. :D

>>346147

The combinableness is deliberate, it's the whole pick and mix idea, or pick and don't mix...

I like the 'they were a couple' idea, but, I myself would make them some form of husband and wife, cause there is a dearth of that pairing as main duo

>>346148
In that case I may run something of this nature myself, when the summer rolls around and I have a bit of time. Because this seems like an awesome story to me.

I figure these vague combinations of story ideas could make a good running joke in the real quest. Everyone is concerned with some crazy ass mix-and-match legend like the above while the real hero is getting the important shit, whatever Theta comes up with, done.

The Dark Paladins end up being nothing more than the medieval equivalent of nerds. The dragon is a cat dressed up as a dragon. The blood-drunker is a prostitute. And crazy hijinks ensue as they all get mass publicity.

>>346156
Nah, this deserves better than that. See:
