:siren::siren:Now looking for in house game testers!:siren::siren:

If you want to be a game tester please send me a PM. Your responsibilities will include checking the alpha spreadsheet for recent changes and downloading the most recent build of the game. You will also need to test for bugs on recent changes, and in general, and fill out the bug reports efficiently. I'm looking for people who could probably at least test for bugs once a day. I will only be selecting a small group of testers.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I am developing a new Something Awful RPG game called Something Awful: The Lost King. The game's main plot line is about how King Lowtax of the land of Something Awful has gone missing, and it is up to you to find him! Each sub forum will be a zone in the game, and each zone will be populated by the wonderful posters of these great forums. To do this I need your help. I am looking for more posters to populate this gay world of mine, and also looking for consultants who are regular posters in sub forums that can help me along with "in" jokes so that everyone on the forums can feel special while playing. Gameplay is still being worked on and is open to being changed. I welcome your suggestions and ideas.

If you would like to be apart of the game post in this thread. Tell me what your preferred quest line would be and what zone you would like to reside in. Tell me any other details you'd like me to know about your character.

If you would like to consult and help with zone creation ideas, post here and let me know what sub forum you are a regular poster in.

If you just have a good idea, post it.

Here is a very short preview of what Tutorial Island looks like. I am not trying to show too much of anything because I'd like to keep most of this under wraps until it is released. Estimated release time is around 2 months from now.

The average is 5.5? I thought it was 4. This is very unsettling.

I'd take a GBS quest where you retrieve the holy chopsticks for me from the dire autismal weeaboo only for me to break them upon receipt and award the pc with the Fork of Western Imperialist Efficiency.

That's a good one!

That should be part of a Planes expansion pack or something with ghosts of moderators past as the bosses. You have to get Mayor Wilkins to have a shitfit and ban himself. Ohh and a quest to get fiwer laid. Although he's in his late 30s now and I'm pretty sure he's gotten laid by now but still. Also who was the gay one that hosed up the database? Al or something?

You find a man collapsed on the road, his name is Scoots Magoo and he is suffering from a spinal injury. You rush him to the local healer. The healer tells you you need to go fetch a macguffin(dew, doritos, whatever) from a nearby cave/mountain. You manage to get the thing, but arrive too late to save SM. With his dying breath he grants you a powerful ranged weapon called "the chip." Y u throw it?

Yes you can add additional members to your party. But they will be rare. I'd like to keep it a solo experience. You'll probably only gain party members for specific quests.

Townsfolk speak of a wandering ghost knight named Stuntcock, stalking the graveyard in search of his missing skull. You speak to him, and discover a local witch named Elf Pr0n has stolen the skull in an attempt to control him. You defeat the foul witch. Upon your return to Stuntcock, you tell him of the witch's defeat. His response: "But did you get head?"

I want to be part of a quest line that ends in finding microwave's mom. Perhaps she's been kidnapped by that murderer that kidnapped girls and took pictures of them before killing them. You know the pic I'm talking about.
