An Image Board consisting mostly of Quests, a type of Interactive Fiction where posters suggest actions or give advice to the protagonist of a story.

Originally split from /tg/ after Ruby Quest came along.

Popular Quest authors include The Weaver, Reaver, and a few others.

Tgchan can be found here.

Tgchan provides examples of the following tropes:

• And Now for Someone Completely Different: NORTHERN SERGAL.
• April Fools' Day: This spawned a number of joke one-shots, most of which involving Flails Breaker, a character from Bite Quest, giving out ice cream.
• Art Evolution: Some quests bear this, for example Mudy Quest.
• Creator Couple Insert Fic: "WeaveReave Quest"
• Deconstruction: Trash Quest deconstructed what would happen if someone actually found a talking ball full of imageboard posters. It was immediately smashed and shattered by a shovel.
  • Many quests are designed to be deconstructions of popular fantasy tropes, though some work better than others.
• Extreme Omnivore: Penji, the Tozol from Tozol Quest. Being a hyperdimensional alien creature with a metabolism ten times as fast as a human will do that.
  • Sometimes (and by sometimes, a lot) played for humor.
• Fan Nickname: Happens a lot.
• Follow the Leader:
  • The Orb of Infinite Psyche.
  • Rastin from Kara Quest made his way into a few other quests.
  • Pokemon Day, where at least a dozen pokemon themed quests sprung up, and references were even worked into running quests.
• Gameplay-Guided Amnesia: A frequent way of explaining why the posters have no idea what's going on or about the setting
• Refuge in Audacity: Designer Dong
  • Fantastic Quest had some bone-chilling visuals in its first run. Made worse that it is done completely via photos instead of art, leading to a segment where the contents of a teabox is revealed to be organs.
• Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies: Sometimes happens when quest authors get tired of their quest
  • Also done when the readers may have triggered a Non-Standard Game Over.
• Running Gag: A good number, some of the more iconic being:
  • Read note, hug [X]
  • fallingman.gif
• Spiritual Successor: Nan Quest to Ruby Quest.
• Shout-Out: Happens between quests fairly often.
• Stylistic Suck: Some Quests have this artstyle, most notably Silvermoon Clan Inheritence Wars Chronicles: My Brother I Will Defeat You.
