#525, "Also..."
|
Typically speaking, quests are something that are planned out to give the players a decent storyline. If there was something I wanted to do for a player, it generally means I need to come up with a beginning, middle, end and reward. I then would have to get an okay to run said quest. Don't get me wrong, I have never been told no to a quest idea, but, you really have to think about what objections might come up so that you can "fix" it before you ask.
Nep/Daev created an age of chaos that allowed immortals to go nuts with the players and fly by the seat of our pants.
Everytime I asked if I could do something, he said, "Have at it! If so and so asks, tell them I gave you the okay."
In the past three months, I heard more 'Thank you' prays for the fun time they had that night then I have since I have been an imm.
I ran more off the wall quests in this period of time than I have done in three years. The good news is that I plan on doing a lot more because it went so well.
I think I ran a dozen off the wall quests from the time the mage plague got started. I did countless echoes for no apparent reason other than to give the players something to think about. I got to bring a dragon out of hell, I got to have devils rescue the fortress from confused angels, ents attacked Galadon and quite a bit more.
I want to thank him for all the fun he created by letting me loose.
I read these forums and I see some people whining and complaining about something they only think they know about. When this thing gets going in full blown mode, the wars are going to be so intense compared to what they are now. I am so pumped for CF right now. Granted, I am a bit more in the know. I know what it's like to have kids who say "I don't like that" pointing at some food they have never tried before. That's exactly what the complainers sound and look like to me.
