I think we need to focus more on making interesting quests. I created my own direction without using a quest or making a group..but i feel like a lot of other newbies aren't going to know how to do that or know what to do D: i propose more quests be made, but im not good at thinking up of stories, i'd rather play them and make them as I go. so maybe some discussion here in the ooc forum can spark some new ideas for quests if people collaborate together. ill try to start thinking of quest ideas myself.
I think its also important to remember that we shouldn't try to model quests after the kinds you find in RPGs or sometimes tabletops. i think because this is all writing rp without stats, stories should focus on situations that cause unique interactions between rpers, particularly in a social sense..but perhaps that going to X dungeon, killing 5 of these creatures, and retrieving resources or items for an npc may be tedious to actually write out without a stat-based gaming system. so it's almost like our quest ideas have to be even more original, more interesting, than typical rp quests.
thoughs?
