Bururian 570 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Platty, If you provide me with an address at some point, I can mail you a couple of those DQ8 posters I have. I need to lay them out and make sure they are all in pretty good shape. A few had some damage on one of the corners, but if you stuck it in a frame you'd barely notice. I'd send them via a tube because they are quite big. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gooieooie 277 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I liked the old DQ name that tune contests. I'd be willing to put another one together myself.You're hired. Yes, that'd be cool. Me, I wrote a post years ago entitled "Music, who needs it?" or something like that. I have zero appreciation for video game music as I play them 99% on mute. But I'd be willing to get that all up and running if you put the songs together! Great! I'll start putting it together when I get back home from Montana next week. After looking through some of the older contests I was going to suggest this, but looks like Erdrick's already on it! I'm looking forward to this one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rainbowkirby749 8 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 How about a contest involving mixing Dragon Quest's humour with other series? ...I'll admit that this isn't a very Dragon Quest-y idea, so feel free to save it for when the contest ideas are down to the emergency rations. The main idea that I can think of with that concept involves taking enemies from other series and giving them Dragon Quest-y names. For example, a theoretical moth cross bee Pokemon (there isn't one) could be called BeeheMoth using Dragon Quest's humour. Or a Flower Flan from Final Fantasy (again, I don't think there is one) could become Budding Pudding. Or an Arrghus from Zelda could be a Lookin'Goo'd. Whichever one is the best while keeping Dragon Quest's style wins. Of course, enemies with names that already work, like Fantasy Life's Pandamonium, don't count (unless you can think of an alternative pun). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Many of the discussions around here are about other game series. This definitely holds merit! And it's not an art contest. We do a lot of them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cesar Hernandez-Meraz 490 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Good idea for a contest. Although I would add a "disclaimer" that it only sounds "Dragon Quest" as it is currently being treated in the West. We wouldn't want people to think that's the real Dragon Quest way, would we?

Plattym3 2,448 Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) Good idea for a contest. Although I would add a "disclaimer" that it only sounds "Dragon Quest" as it is currently being treated in the West. We wouldn't want people to think that's the real Dragon Quest way, would we? True. We could call it "localise anothed game to NA DQ standards!" Edited February 3, 2016 by Plattym3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Woodus 1,652 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Anyone watching Galavant this season, it has very Dragon Questy puns in it. Last night they had a healer Neo of Sporrin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

YangustheLegendaryBandit 3,578 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Here's an idea: let's do something similar to our Favorite Male/Female character contest, but specifically focus on the heroes. Maybe something like "which would win in an all out battle?" sort of thing. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheKingOfTheDragovians 305 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 That's a great idea imagine Melvin vs Ragnar , maribell vs Ashlynn , carver vs Alena , there could also be team battles, DQ 5 Family vs DQ 8 party, or even battle royales, Bianca vs nera ve Deborah see if the wife you chose was the strongest or monster battles slime vs slime knight a tournament between all main heros and a tournament between villains Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YangustheLegendaryBandit 3,578 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 You're misinterpreting my post: When I say heroes, I mean the protagonists only. As in the characters who never talk. We've already done villain focused contests, and contests over the other cast members both male and female. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheKingOfTheDragovians 305 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Oh wups my bad got a little carried away lol still sounds like an awesome contests Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheKingOfTheDragovians 305 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 What about celebrities as DQ characters. We post a picture of the celebrity and the DQ character they would be. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gooieooie 277 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I had an interesting idea yesterday evening for a contest. I thought it was a pretty original idea, so I decided to post it. Dragon Quest board game/card game concepts! The contest would have us coming up with ideas for a DQ-themed board game, or card game (or I guess any table-top kind of game). You'd make up some rules, give it a name, and then if you want to, you could go further, designing a board, pieces, and whatever else you wanted to go an extra step. Then, once the deadline was reached, games could be judged by a member vote like usual (or maybe with judges? I dunno), and the top one/top 3/top whatever could get badges. I think this one would be cool because there would be a lot of diversity in the submissions, and I'm sure some people would take it above and beyond, which would be fun to see. What do you guys think? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheKingOfTheDragovians 305 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 That idea sounds awesome. I actually had an idea sort of like that a while ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Plattym3 2,448 Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 I think it's a great idea, but there most likely would be few submissions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheKingOfTheDragovians 305 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 What if instead of making our own game, we base it off an existing, like Monopoly. We take a regular monopoly board and then put a Dragon Quest spin on it. Like renaming all the properties to Dragon Quest themed ones. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheKingOfTheDragovians 305 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Heres an idea yugioh card contest. We make Dragon Quest inspired yugioh cards. Also what about a shipping meme contest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
