Given the surge of interest in it, let's get started talking about all those quests that never made it past the drawing board for whatever reason or elements of quests that didn't make it into the final product.

Here's the crotches that never were that got it started:

Something something Tozols stranded on a desert planet after a blind hyperjump.

Apparently I had an idea about a Clouseau-esque detective named Professor Hieronymous Hornswoggle. Can't remember it, but it's in the old drawthread so it was a thing.

Then there was Asimov and Arcana which, while technically started, never went past a first thread.

Whee, failed ideas and unused concepts.

I considered doing a possibly NSFW dating quest using Nem's mom Aoife (pronounced "Effa") back when she was single and going to college a long distance away to get away from her over-protective parents.

Obviously the goal would be to find Aoife's true love and Nem's daddy.

No. 97010 ID: 3009b4

The problem with that is that Nem's family is the happily married type.

Culturally for the North Gaelish it's permissible to have a same-sex lover on the side (just don't rub it in your spouse's face unless they're into it) but basically Nem's family is inappropriate for a single MILF quest. If I did a quest featuring Aofie as a MILF it wouldn't be of the dating variety, and it'd actually mean I wouldn't be able to do it until Nem's Modern Quest was written since the set-up is important.

If my english didn't suck so much.

>Bot Quest
In a world after the extinction of every life form, only robots roam the earth. one day a former bodyguard robot finds a human and that single human is the key for the rebirth of the life on the planet, only if they manage to survive long enough.

>Chuthulu Kid
Pretty much the tale of a rivalry between the offspring of chuthulu and satan. funny and dramatic.

>NewRomancer
A cute and romantic(forbidden love?)quest in the style of the romanticar series from reaver, almost like a tribute.

>Dead Babel
A quest that tells the story of characters in the graveyard section of this site, and their hopes to get to the land of the living
the triumphant return of my first character, the babel raider! now aptly named, Babel Bum.

I've got several quest ideas, but most of them I left because I felt that it'd be too much for me to work on. One of these was called "Make you hate me". Forgot what it was supposed to be like, but I remember that the character was supposed to be an unlikable jerk at least.

Sometimes, people ask me what would happen if tozols fought some guys. Sometimes, part of me thinks too hard about it, and imagines it as a quest.

When I was young and stupid and gave more fucks, I sometimes argued on the internet about what fictional property might beat up what other fictional property. This was dumb, frustrating, and unsatisfying, but I did it anyway because some of the scenarios were fun to imagine.

This would be like that, I guess. Play some tozols in a scenario against some other fictional guys. Kind of like Battle Quest, but with a clear protagonist vs antagonist team. Also, presumably against non-tgchan dudes, so we don't need to feel bad about winning. :V

The lizards in this picture aren't anyone in particular. I guess I was thinking of posleen? Those were Earth-invading fight-aliens from some not-very-good books I read in high school. The body type is wrong, though, and the blood is the wrong color.

Someone actually did ask me about tozols vs posleen, one time. That seemed kind of fun, because the posleen had weird limitations but attacked in stupidly large numbers. Tozols could kill buckets of them and still lose, so it would be necessary to do clever things.

The tactical interplay between various factions could make for interesting gameplay, and other worlds might make for fun story opportunities. However, I'd ultimately be writing about my fictional creatures beating up some other person's fictional creatures, in fanfic form, without their permission. Battle Quest had author cooperation, but this would just be a wanky bash-fic with pictures.

Like, maybe I could run it on Spacebattles or Sufficient Velocity, where 95% of quests are garbage fanfiction, but it would still feel lame.

Put the burden on quest to make the baddies cool. Quest has to come up with interesting and challenging canon fodder to throw at the tozols. Points are awarded based on how much fun the tozol has killing them.

If you fail to keep the tozol entertained, it kills you and leaves. Quest over.

Maybe something that turns the innate tozol immunity to exotic bullshit into a disadvantage? For example, teleportals or hardlight bridges which they can't help but disrupt by proximity, giving non-tozols a mobility advantage.

No. 98078 ID: 99a64d

>>98050
If you aren't ready to accept some level of sueness then you shouldn't be reading a quest about Tozols.

If you don't feel like writing "my dad could beat up your dad; the quest", then you could try mashing up two different fictional species. The resulting thing would count as your own original creation, and the suggestors wouldn't know what to expect, upping the challenge.

No. 98119 ID: a22f87

>>98043
Well how about instead of tozols vs whatever you could do a short quest or quests where we play one of the races in the tozol universe and we are given a set amount of time, information, and resources and then have to us that time to either fortify our defensives to survive the upcoming attack or build up our attack force to beat down the enemies defensives.

Like you could play as humans stuck on a space station who have 30 days to beef up the station before pirates attack it, or play a group of Valcien who are preparing to attack a carven that they learned will be passing through there territory for reasons.

Just have each chapter be about a different group of people and races and it would let you flesh out some of the other races that were never touched on in tozol quest other then in passing as well as showing us small little snippets of the larger world without having to make another epic quest.

An idea that came up recently was the concept of a TGChan Sims Quest where I create TGChan users in The Sims 2 (with whatever expansions I can find that doesn't require touching Origin).

The Quest would start in University. Each user will be recreated as best I can using whatever photo was created in General, along with 1 quest character of the opposite gender. Quest Character & creator are always put in different dorms.

For "Suggestions" players give Sims missions which I will try to execute as best I can. Then I update with screenshots.

What does everyone think?

CASH GRAB was a quest me and my friend Dallas were going to run, and still might, at some future point in time. It was about a wannabe heister named Claws, and revolved around organizing a team of criminals, pulling off XXXtreme heists, and climbing the ranks.

The prototype opening posts went something like "Today's the day! After 2 years of holding up liquor stores and spotting for other jobs, you've finally made it - an invitation to CRIMINAL.ORG, a secret network of hardcore criminals organizing heists, hits, massive drug deals and other large-scale federal offences. You, personally, are interested in the first. You've always wanted to be rich, but you weren't talented or sociopathic enough for any other method of making a lot of money, so you decided to go into heisting.

You, of course, are "Claws", a nickname earned by an embarassing incident that you've carried proudly throughout your career. Criminals tend to avoid names. You are 23 years old, Caucasian, of above-average build and fitness. You have enough experience with firearms and fighting that you could be considered competent, and you consider yourself damn well smart enough to plan a couple lousy heists.

For a heist, you need two things. The easy part is picking a location and figuring out exactly what to do down to the last detail without getting caught.

The hard part is finding a crew, and since you're a beginner, you'll only be able to get in contact with fellow low-tiers. Fuckups, rookies, those trying to climb the ranks that just can't seem to catch a break. It's your job to find out who you want to hire for what role, during the heist, what they'll be doing, and when the heist proper begins, direct them."

I do have a couple of ideas that I don't think I'll get around to.

Small Robot/Big Robot Concept: This is actually one of the first quest idea I got when I was lurking tgchan. It would have been like those quest that runs on multiple sites for multiple characters. Basically one board would be in control of the smaller humanoid and kinda human size robot that isn't really a fighter but can do stuff like hacking doors open and whatnot. Meanwhile, the other board would be in control of a big hulking war robot. And yes, they could have the option to try and kill the smaller robot instead of teaming up. Although I probably would have used the small robot's nimbleness and I would have pulled some strings to make sure that small robot doesn't die immediately.

I don't remember the full plot, but there was probably a sci-fi war going on and both robots, being activated on their own with no humans to give them directive or anything, could have tried to figure out what happened to their owner, or just accept their freedom and do other stuff with everything else going on in the world. Small robot would have probably met up with a woman that would have given a potential side goal of helping her.

Souls games inspired quest: This one, like the working title implies, would have been a quest that the style would have been inspired by Demon's Souls, Dark Souls and BloodBorne. Main gimmick for this one, would have been a quest where I write nothing. Completely driven by images, all suggestions would be based on what is seen in pics, and most of it would have been about avoiding dangers or finding a good way to kill something without getting hit too much or at all. That one would have been only one thread long with the goal being "get to the end of the area, which is the ominous castle, and kill the "boss" there".

I still want to get around drawing the first panel for fun, but I dunno how well I could handle an image only quest. I probably would end up making it boring for the "readers" and suggesters.


I have other ideas, but so far, I haven't decided to leave em behind just yet.

God, I have way too many of these... A lot of my issues stem from having so little free time anymore. Or so I like to say. I guess, ultimately, I'm just a lazy piece of shit and wind up playing videogames or fucking off on the internet instead of doing anything productive when I'm not wasting my life at work.

First, pretty much everything I've done on this site that isn't Journey Quest or Shed A Tear (which hardly counts). So that includes; "Riarda Legends", "The Island of Onigashima", "Pony Adventures: Heart Fixer", and "Shipwrecked"[b].

Quest ideas that never even got off the ground:
[b]Mecha Quest
- Originally, my second quest idea after Journey. The idea was for /quest/ to take control of a mercenary pilot trying to make their way in the world using what ever they could get their hands on for a robot/ weapons. At the start they would be thrust into a situation where, to survive, they would have to hijack one of three different robots with varying abilities, weapons, or customizability levels. Then it would have gone on from there taking missions which would have involved combat that was sort of a puzzle of sorts to figure out how to beat the opponent. Allies could be made of other merc pilots, or employers. It was intended to be kind of armored core inspired with some Super Robot Wars mixed in. Idea was abandoned because I couldn't figure out a way to really keep things interesting enough for the plot to form and not just be combat or something.

Code Name: Lohrka-Morka- At one point I wanted to try and make a Gorka Morka-esque tabletop skirmish game based around Lohrkes fighting eachother in the underworld of Layridin. After I started messing around with converting the Iron Kingdoms RPG system into a Layridin RPG I had the idea of trying to do a quest where /quest/ could build a team of Lohrkes and work their way through the underworld dealing or fighting with other Lohrke factions/ teams. Abandoned for similar reasons to Mecha Quest. Also the desire to do something with a Layridin race that wasn't in Journey Quest, leading to Shipwrecked happening.

Riarda Legends: Isidra- The comic I was wanting to work on before I wound up making Layridin converted into a quest. I decided against this because one of my problems with quests, I suppose, is that I get an idea in my head of what I want to happen, and that never does and I wind up getting stumped as to what should happen as a result. So yeah...

Wacky Layridin Racers- A quest about a bunch of Layridin people having a ridiculous race based off the old Hanabarbara cartoon. I couldn't figure out a way to actually make this work in quest format, so I dropped the idea.

Another Layridin quest- Never made it past basic concept stage. Basically just doing an Iron Kingdoms RPG game with the Layridin supplement I was working on. I'm a bad DM so I rather swiftly decided against this.

Some D&D thing- I had an idea to do, what effectively would have just been a D&D 4th edition game since the emphasis on grid-based combat I figured would translate pretty well into quest format. The initial plan was to either have it star DBchan (a dragonborn I drew a long time ago for /tg/) or a human character made by /quest/. The latter would have wound up having dating sim style garbage with the other characters. Issues arose when I realized things like interrupt actions exist in 4e and can't really be done in a turn based, slow ass system like a quest. Also I lost access to the character builder for a long time so couldn't make characters.

Maverick- A recent idea I had, and quickly abandoned. Mega Man X is one of the few settings I've ever made OCs for. I made a whole list of 8 mavericks and everything. The quest would basically follow the 8 reploids labeled as mavericks as they go about doing their various things. Basically, their story before a Mega Man X game would take place. Dropped because I can't think of enough actual stuff to happen, and time issues.

Skaven Quest- An idea I had a long time ago for a quest following a Skaven Clanrat who was the lone survivor of a battle with the Dwarves in the Warhammer Old World. /quest/ would control the rat man on his quest to live and claw his way up the ranks of the horrid rat creatures crawling below the world of man. Abandoned because I couldn't really get the motivation to come up with conflicts and shenanigans to occur.

About a year ago I got like six updates into a quest called Future Club. Like a dark/goofy cyberpunky story where the zombie outbreak happens. Everybody freaks out and kills each other even though the zombies are actually harmless and don't attack people. Also there was like a transhumanist illuminati group involved? I don't remember

Someday I'd like to run a text quest where suggestors can make their own characters, Please do not [T]ake these Organs style. I'd probably use a stripped down version of Gigacrawler for the mechanics. This would probably be really hard to run though, so I dunno.

had an idea for a quest about alchemy where the main character was a golem, but it was kinda steven universe-esque in that the golems were made out of enchanted metal brands, and the kind of metal determined their abilities and appearance. i probably could EVENTUALLY make this, but my skill as an artist would have to improve drastically, and i never really liked how rip-offy the concept sounded compared to SU, even if the setting is completely different.
