- FAQ:
- > Can I run [QUEST]?
- Yes.
- > Should I run [QUEST]?
- Probably not, but that's never stopped anyone.
- > Give me advice on [QUEST premise].
- It's shit.
- > As a QM, how often should I read QTG?
- Never.
- > How do I git gud?
- Lurk and learn. Read quests, ideally finished ones. Read the links above. Write something everyday.
- > Can you help me with [specific QUEST problem]?
- Maybe. Take any advice you get with a grain of salt. Don't use your trip unless you're really sure.
- > Good run times?
- Ideally a chunk of four hours or more between UTC 1600 and UTC 0500. Weekends tend to be slightly more active than weekdays.
- > I live in aussieland/the moon/somewhere isolated.
- Sucks m8, go to WorldTimeServer.com and calculate a proper runtime for yourself, then cry when it's a shit time with no players.
- > I DON'T WANT TO SIGN UP FOR TWATTER TO GET UPDATES ON QUEST SCHEDULES
- Then don't. Bookmark the page.
- > I DON'T WANT TO GET A TWATTER TO INFORM MY PLAYERS
- Nobody's forcing you to.
- > Which timezone should I use to announce my quests?
- EST or UTC are the most common and easiest to convert for your players, no matter their location.
- > Other quest sites?
- >>tgchan
- >>Anonkun
- >>QuestionableQuesting
- There are others but we don't talk about them.
- > Which quests have eBooks?
- pastebin.com/kbGzcbDb These, others are currently being created or might be linked in their individual threads.
- > How do I make quest eBooks?
- You will need a text editor(optional, useful to strip residual formatting), LibreOffice Writer, Calibre and a PDF viewer.
- (1) Find the archived threads, CTRL + F the QM tripcode and copy the posts into the text editor, tag the beginnings and endings of threads somehow.
- (2) Save as plaintext.
- (3) Open in LibreOffice, apply formatting, use the Headings and Title functions to distinguish between threads.
- (4) Save one ODT and one HTML version in a folder with the Quest's title.
- (5) Export as PDF, save the result in the same folder.
- (6) Open Calibre, Click [Add Books], wait till the import is done, then [Convert Books] and choose MOBI and EPUB.
- (7) Complete folder and compress.
- (8) Upload to a DDL host.
- (9) Post.
