Quest:TG Meta Quest

TG Meta Quest is a quest that was run by MetaMan for 130 threads and featured the exploits and trials of Taskforce 38 as they fixed the damage done to their section of reality they maintain order in.

“My name...” he said, with great deliberation. "...is Sector Manager Garret Holtz". "And I want you to know, from the bottom of my heart... that no matter how bad your day is, it cannot begin to compare to mine."

Sector Manager Garret Holtz, exasperated at his predicament

We started this quest off with just a single cruiser, a bounty hunter, three Mobile Infantry, a squad of UNIT soldiers, and no idea what the fuck we were doing. We cajoled, bribed, and outright raised from the dead soldiers and heroes to our cause as we burned a path of fire and fury across the sector.

Transpace Guard:

TG Quest was set in the Meta, but in this instance of the multi-multiverse the Transpace Guard are Meta-Earth's defensive organization. The TG (whose name was, of course, based off of the "traditional games" board's name) watch over an unknown number of sectors, inside of which are located innumerable and varied canons. The sector that TG Quest takes place in was an RPGs sector. This sector, was shown to host Ghostbusters, Cowboy Bebop, Lord of the Rings, Warhammer 40K, Star Wars, Silent Hill, X-COM, Exalted, Call of Cthulu, and several more canons, though the full extant of them may have covered beyond what was seen.

Character Recruitment & Overwhelming Force:

The STOB

The Space-Time Oscillation Bomb (STOB) originates from the Super Dimension Century Orguss canon. By itself, it fuses timelines together, but with additional components acquired across the Meta, it can affect the meta by breaking down dimensional boundaries, crossing over canons and allowing incursions by SUEs and inter-dimensional forces.

The device known as the STOB.

The first Super-STOB affected the sector the players operated in. The second Super-STOB encountered at the end of campaign had the power to affect a very large part of the Meta.

Behind the Scenes

Scrapped concepts

• SRW Quest/Musouquest
  • Shadow Mirror Katina as an endboss to the quest
• Azalin Rex from Ravenloft had the potential to assume a new identity as Drew the Lich, but events in the final battle changed that as Azalin Rex decided to confront Task Force 38 in one last struggle instead.
• The major boss fights in the quests each had potential to add up to being an opposing side in the final battle over the Super-STOB. They are listed as such:
  • Chaosbringer
  • Dr. Grimm
  • Ebon Night
  • Kane
