Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Hello, one and all, and welcome to Epic Quest! the NG Choose-Your-Own MSPaint Adventure! This is a choose-your-own adventure, much in the style of the original MSPaint Adventures! Basically, I will post an image, and then you suggest what the character does, along the style of an old text-based game. (Think Deliver That Fulp! if you're unfamiliar).

Now, this is on a trial-basis. I know the suggestions are going to be rather short at times (Walk east, slay dragon, etc.), but don't spam the thread with them. I'm going to try to pic from the first few suggestions each time, and remember that each page is going to take some time to draw. If you see that some suggestions have already been made, then try to steer away from making more suggestions and towards conversation or whatever's relevant at the time.

Furthermore, keep up-to-date on what's going on. I'm going to have an archive of this all over here in my news post. Don't make suggestions for things that happened several pages ago, as that will make you look stupid.

And lastly, because this is going to be done mostly in paint, the moderators can lock this at any time if my quality of work dips below a certain arbitrary threshold. This whole project lies on a very thin line, SO DON'T FUCK IT UP OR SO HELP ME CHRIST....

Anyway, here we go!

It is the middle ages. Swords and sorcerers are part of every day life. Your meals consist of adventure, and you poop wanderlust. There's riches to be had somewhere, and it's your job to find them, spend them, get drunk, and probably die from being crushed to death in a orgy with the highest-class wenches gold can afford.

But before any of that can begin, you need to create your character!

You still need:
-A race
-A class
-A color

Your stats may also be modified, but you can only add points to one stat if you subtract them from another.

Oh, and just a reminder if I wasn't clear: DO NOT POST YOUR ART IN THIS THREAD.

Here's how this is supposed to go:
I present you with a picture
You tell me what you want the character to do next
I choose a command, then present you all with a picture based on that command
You tell me what you want the character to do next
I choose a command, then present you all with a picture based on that command
Repeat endlessly.

Ah, a mage! Bitches love a man who can spin the threads of time and warp reality into his own will, let alone one with a suave English accent. And that orange suits you nicely.

One last step before you set out on your quest: What is your name?

Name: Billy Bo Bob

Name: Jackson, from the Nether of Lands

Ah, Jackson! Truly the manliest of names! Your shillelagh glimmers with the power of a million Samuels at the thought of the name, and you muster the gayest :3 face that you can.

(I'd like to use this opportunity to bring up a few more things while we're still getting started. Multiple suggestions are allowed, and I'll pic from the best one. Try to limit them to five or so. Also, if I post a picture with the phrase (Pic X of Y) beneath it, please wait for me to finish posting. Thanks!)

It is a warm summer morning. You're standing outside the main gate of STARTING TOWN, saying your last goodbyes to your parents. As a man in his mid twenties, you feel it's time to leave your parent's basement and finally head out into the real world. Also coincidentally your parents are kicking you out of their house because you've never had a job and you haven't gone outside in the past six months.

There is a GUARD by the MAIN GATE, and the ROAD behind you most assuredly leads to adventure, whores, booze, and riches.

Pic 2 of 2, you can post now

Jackson: retrieve arms from backpack.

Upon closer inspection, you realize that your backpack is made of what used to be your sleeves.

It's probably best not to question why.

Then a level 70 dragon appears and you all fucking die

Heh, didn't even bother to read.

Anyway

Beg your parents the chance to browse the net one last time. You never know where you can find adventure, you know.

When you get tired of jackassing around outside the town walls, you decide to go pay your parents a visit. It's been ten, maybe even fifteen minutes since they last saw you. They'll be so relieved to see you're okay and glad to have you back that they'll probably let you use their internet connection.

You walk in on your parents having sex.

After failing your fortitude save, you decide it might be best to leave town for a little while. You lose 2 CON.

Alright guys, it's pushing 6 am here, so I'm gonna head to bed. I'll pick this up where I left off. Remember, if you want to contribute your suggestions, give them in the form of actions, like "wander through forest", instead of long streams of retarded gibberish.
