twitter.com/Eisenstern/lists/quest-runner-directory This is a directory containing the tweets of most current QM's. While a twitter is by no means mandatory, it is a useful tool for both you and your players. If you are a QM, simply post your Twitter here to have it added to the directory. Spamming your quest twitter with non-quest related tweets may result in its removal from the directory.

>QM Do you think that subconsciously you project your fears and biases in your quest?
>Player Have you ever cringed at something that your QM or other players wrote?
Well, yeah. How you think, feel, believe, and experience affects your b writing. How can it not?

>Player, Have you ever cringed at something that your QM or other players wrote?
Oh god yes, Its my job to shitpost not theres. If I need to be the serious one we have major issues. We had that issue with one of the lastest quests I was in.

>Player A lot actually, typically only when a QM is trying to be dramatic and it falls flat.
The other day in German Hollow Quest the QM started doing something and it really got me good

>Have you ever cringed at something that your QM or other players wrote?
Yeah but then I got used to it. It is a strange feeling, but after using imageboards for years any emotions attached to comments progressively decline. Unfortunately, this also means my smile is gone for good.

I usually subvert that by appealing to popular opinion. As far as likes and biases go. I haven't managed to put my fears in yet though.

Such defiance!
