Quest to Escape, more commonly abbreviated as QTE, is a series of forum story games based in RR. Presumably inspired by an anime titled Battle Royale, in which a number of characters are given weapons and defenses and stranded somewhere to fight each other to the death until only one person remains, Firestorm Zero chose to create a game where RRers could sign up with characters and then watch as he wrote out the results of the ensuing bracket-style tournament. The results are usually decided by random dice roll, though how this dice roll is set up changes from author to author.

Sign-ups are limited to one character per RRer, and the roster of players usually fills up quickly. Characters range from utterly serious to hysterically silly, and may be either totally original creations or based off of existing fictional/living beings.

The time it takes to finish a QTE is entirely dependant on the writing skills and free time of the game-runner, and may be anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. There also tends to be some confusion as to who gets to run the next game after one has just ended, which is why an organization thread was later created. (more...)
