Re: Gundam Protagonist you Consider the Best

They also don't rely on newtype on psychic-magic to accomplish their goals like a lot of UC heroes do, it mostly comes down to their actions. I simply do not understand why people complain about "newtype magic" when talking about a UC show. Do people watch Star Wars and complain about the...

Re: Stuff You Can't Believe You Just Figured Out

The Dream of the Blue Turtles was '85, and Sting appeared in David Lynch's adaptation of Dune looking like that in '84. It makes so much sense now...

Re: Stuff You Can't Believe You Just Figured Out

RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE Here's something that struck me today that I feel a burning desire to tell people about. Back in 2007 I started a thread about Yazan Gable's turtle tattoo . Kishiria pointed out that Yazan resembles Sting, and The Dream of the Blue Turtles was released in 1985 so it made some se...

- Gryps 2 Space - - The Dervish - - Bridge - His neck craned back, momentarily lost in thought, Capt. Abbey stared in remote silence as the large digital operational timer steadily ticked away. The glowing red numbers continued their march upward while the captain relaxed a bit in his chair, a lone ...

Re: NEW RPG THREAD DISCUSSION

Here's a serious suggestion: If you want to avoid the Nazis and you're going heavy alt history anyway why not just say the 1918 Revolution failed after a severe crackdown from the royalists (say, perhaps, in part due to heavy, organized use of the Freikorps against leftist elements) after Wilhelm II...

Re: Ten-hut!

my only gripe is having it in a world war II setting, personally i'd much rather something more in the cold war era, paced across multiple stages, each one being a set number of chapters dedicated to the individual conflicts that occured during that era You know what, you're right. The Cold War is ...

Ten-hut!

After a period of discussion and reflection, the Trinary has decided what the next RPG will be in lieu of allowing the section members to vote. We did this for a number of reasons, including first and foremost the hope that this game will be as fun and engaging for all of you as we think it will! We...

Re: Episode 28 - Passage to Tartarus

- Dolk - When Dolk saw that their new friends were in range, he flipped his Griffin back 'upright' and hung back as Stukov and Pan opened fire on the cannon toting Rick Dias among them. He scanned the others, looking for his own target, and noticed one of them sliding away to come at Alpha from a di...

Re: Episode 28 - Passage to Tartarus

Stukov fired off a shot past the oncoming mobile suits at the trio of vessels hanging behind them, but the lieutenant refrained from joining in. Instead, he rapid...

Re: NEW RPG THREAD DISCUSSION

As a real twist to Macross tradition, what if the new aliens were really tiny. Like, proportional to humans as humans are proportional to un-miclonized Zentraedi. They have mecha, too but the mecha are human sized. For a while, the humans assume that the mecha are the aliens. So... SDF Macross: Do ...

Re: NEW RPG THREAD DISCUSSION

I feel like it's necessary to reassure everybody that there's no concrete deadline for submissions or anything like that yet. We're still simply looking for brainstorming, discussion, and questions at the moment. If you have an idea ready to go don't hesitate to send a PM to Red, but nobody has to r...

Re: What books are you reading?

I'm working my way through the 20th Anniversary Edition of Heir to the Empire when I have the time. Timothy Zahn, his editor, and others have provided interesting footnotes sprinkled through it. It's interesting to see the "state of Star Wars" circa 1989 as far as the EU goes through the a...

Re: NEW RPG THREAD DISCUSSION

I have to agree - I like the idea of some sort of "racing" RPG, but I just don't know how well it could be pulled off. Without some strong plot point, it would firmly center the focus of player interaction on competing solely to win a concrete competition, even moreso than something like G...
