I'm pretty sure dice came before quests. We use them for things unrelated to quests. You would know that if you LURKED MOAR.

We were given dice specifically because of the popularity of quest threads, funny enough.

I miss having quest threads on this board.

ROLL 'EM, BOYS!

False.

What percentage of the board would you say quest threads took up?

>50%
>90%
>more than 90%

Chapter generation threads.

Because it's fun.

>quest threads on Veeky Forums since 2008

Why do "hating on quest threads" and "blatantly lying" always go hand-in-hand?

The quest migration happened in 2012. Fuck off with your revisionist history please.

People do things like random tables and character generation on here. FATAL characters even. How do you not know this, are you new?

I have played quests in '10, easily. So that's a lie.

I bet all those off-site archives like suptg have been secretly edited to show earlier dates!

Quests existed before 2012, sure, but they weren't a major part on any board, Veeky Forums included. It was only after they were all shoveled here that they began to rise in popularity. The dice roller wasn't implemented just because of quests. It was implemented because dice are a core part of nearly any tabletop game system.

And because playing games on the board was also popular. Which did include quests but also included other forum games as well.

Now that any forum games are banned here and have to be in quest there's not much use for it other than rolling for retarded STAT ME threads

The golden age of Veeky Forums has come and passed. Accept it.

Golden age of the internet, more like. Even children act jaded and callous on the internet nowadays; it's no longer cool to openly have fun and enjoy things on the interwebs anymore.

Why do normies destroy everything they touch? I just want old Veeky Forums back, when oldfags were newfags, the edge was ironic satire, and no one had ever heard of this place. Now, we're second bananna to plebbit, and things will never change.

The walled gardens come next. I was glad to have known you, when we were free.

We were never free.

Does all gameplay belong on /qst/?

>my quest is on there and it was garbage

My god I've been here almost 10 years. Where have the years gone...

No roleplaying belongs here. If you were to run an actual game of DnD or something it would be done here not on /qst/.

I miss having some questers writefagging for other threads. I don't miss most quests (some where good, a few where excellent, a lot were crap) but those niggas were fun in other threads like CYOA, story times and character development threads.

and then there's fukken Leonidas over here

I miss Overlad.

The rest of these are shit.

I miss matryoshka civ quest.

So, what % of the board was quests, famalam?

Heaven forbid people play games on the traditional games board

Why don't you test that out, bud?

>Implying it wouldn't be labelled as a quest
>Implying you wouldn't get janitored
>Implying "any sort of collaborative story effort" wasn't put there to block similar attempts.

You can mention it in context or get a link to an actual recorded session, but playing here is no longer an option.

Dear God, Vampire Bride Quest was seven years ago. It can't have been that long.

>So, what % of the board was quests, famalam?
8%, according to a search of 4plebs for a week in April 2016 before /qst/ was created for threads with "Quest" in the subject field vs. the total number of threads in that time period.

Ayo hol up
So is you be saying
Is you be saying
That quests
Were not a significant percentage of threads
Or that
They quickly autosaged and didn't block "muh front page"

>not even subtly starting another "boo hoo quests are gone" thread

I know you think you're clever for starting this thread designed to bitch about quest removal, but you won't accomplish anything.

You know, I didn't mind quests at first. There were only a few and some of them were neat. But once they got out of hand, and don't believe the liars who claim they didn't get out of hand because they very much did, I and many others asked the mods to do something about it.

And lo, they got their own board to play forum games on! But somehow having their own forum on Veeky Forums was a grievous insult? I'll never understand, but thankfully I won't have to. You, and all the questfags who didn't want to go to /qst/, have lost, and I praise the Mods every day for cleaning up Veeky Forums from all that persistent non-Veeky Forums material.

Roolllannn

Different guy here, I actually recently wondered why nobody had tried to run an campaign through Veeky Forums. Then I thought of the logistics, like the fact that I don't have the experience needed to organize this kind of thing, that it would necessitate heavy tripfaggotry and that outside of a small portion of the board that would enjoy being a spectator to a campaign everyone would fucking hate it.

Still strikes me as a neat concept, just one that probably shouldn't be attempted.

Sounds like a good druid quirk.

With those stats, you can be anything...

Although, aren't your Con and Dex actually flipped?

Would probably make a good Conan, to be honest. Although not the sneakiest, got those mental stats down.

Sadly, average men are usually fighting men.

Any full martial would work, but probably best to go Ranger or Cleric, I wonder?

>And lo, they got their own board to play forum games on! But somehow having their own forum on Veeky Forums was a grievous insult?

Making /qst/ and forcing all the quests on Veeky Forums to go there was like making a /vamp/ board and forcing all the World of Darkness threads on Veeky Forums to go there along with all the Vampire Hunter D threads on /a/, and then expecting the board to not immediately die.

Quest threads don't have anything in common besides the medium, and separating the quest threads from the board where all the roleplayers hang out doomed /qst/ because nobody's going to lurk a board they're uninterested in just on the off chance that a quest they like shows up. The people who play quests are the people on Veeky Forums.

Now you'll probably say that quest threads are parasitic because they need posters and can't survive on their own, but which threads on Veeky Forums can survive without any posters?

I'm surprised its not /3/-tier at this point

How new to Veeky Forums are you?

How did it end?

Oh please let it be something good.
