Just got a potential idea for a new Day Run-related-but-not-quite-sequel RPG. While it obviously won't be entered in this contest, I may have it ready by September, if I decide to do it at all. If not, you'll still hear about it.
Zanth (slightly blurry, sorry)
Elithes
Lyxek (!!!!) And again. Once more.
Recorder
Vuelo snarrrl
Dága
Hetnuh
Sivik (bad picture; see note at bottom)
Xaeda
Jaeda
Kovian
Galagi (kind of)
I still have a bunch of other pictures to take, but not enough sunlight at this point, so I'll get them tomorrow after school. And on top oft he other MOCs, I'll be taking a few more/better pictures of some of the above.
So I may be meeting with a published author on Tuesday to discuss novel writing tips. As you can imagine, this is flippin' awesome. The only downside is that the meeting would be in Eugene, which is like... a couple of hours away from here. But you know what? I'm cool with that. The only issue is whether I can get a ride up there...
So today has been in interesting day in Day Run. i think now is as good a time as any to go on that break, until it's either continued via RPG or epic... Questions and points raised here: The Construct -- the Searcher -- has settled in the Barrens Alan and Kairan are both injured, as well as an untold number of others Elithes, Illuxio and Dalmia seem to be primed for a massive battle in the eastern Barrens The Director seems to have some untold plans for the Day Run Lyxek is unusually happ
Hey, all. I'm looking for opinions on what all I can condense/change/reword/fix/you name it for Day Run. With three days left before the RPG Contest entry period starts, I'm looking to get this done as soon as possible so that I can jump on adapting it for the contest theme once I get the chance. The current draft is below.
So yeah. A little late, but I suppose it doesn't hurt to say this publicly. The Silvermind arc in ROTR -- which, as many know, took up a ridiculous amount of time (over half of the RPG, actually) -- has finally ended, so if it was holding up your plans, fear no more -- you're free to move forward again.
Let it also be known that I will no longer accept gigantic plots like those if whoever is proposing one is the only person who will be running them -- especially if you don't have a very good
Hey, players of RotR! I have a question for you! So, Rise of the Rockets has been going on for over two years now, yes? Yes. And it now spans over 200 pages in total. That said, if you could choose any of the plots that have happened--any at all, however many you need--which ones would you say compose the main storyline of the RPG? Obviously, a lot of stuff has happened, but admittedly, a lot of it has been filler--the Killer Hypno arc, for instance, or a lot of the recruitment missions. So
Wow. So, it's been a while, hasn't it? Alright; well, I don't have a lot of time to comment on the new BZP layout (it's spiffy) so I'll just say what I need to say real quick before I try to get some stuff done. As you guys know, I was in the process of running two RPGs before the forums went down, Day Run: The Garden and Rise of the Rockets. Unfortunately, I didn't have their coded version saved before the forums went off line, so I need to recode them and stuff before I can repost them. Need
Wow, it's been two years already? Where did the time go... Anyway, happy anniversary to Rise of the Rockets! It's been a long, strange trip, spanning well over 200 pages, and I'm excited for whatever else is to come--regardless of how good or bad it is. As a treat, everyone gets a freebie reward--as per tradition! So use it however you want, whenever you want, and on (almost) whatever you want!
The Garden has been submitted.
Now, with any luck, I'll win and we can avoid another dual GM-disappearance for this next batch of RPGs. :/
No offense to anyone intended.
But... now what? I'm all out of salsa and ROTR has slowed to a halt! ><
Oh boy. I'm giving myself goosebumps now. And it's only going to get worse from here. X3 Much worse. Though I have to say, this plotline has been fun to play.
So, tomorrow will be December 2nd, which means that the Short Story contest is going to close to new entrants. While that's all well and good, it means I'm going to have to work -very- hard tomorrow on editing my entry if I'm going to get to enter -- which, hopefully, I will. Regardless of whether I get to or not, tomorrow is the start of a weekend (after school, anyway,) and I have a ton of stuff that I'm going to do on here to celebrate. This includes, but may not be limited to: -Uploading s
Not going to bother with anything formal or whatever today; for some reason looking at ROTR has worn me out. Day Run Not much to say here; things are rolling along nicely. If things go according to plan, it'll be done by January -- and with a lot of twists and turns thrown in. Heck, even in the short amount of time that it's been back, we've already had a couple of major discoveries... kind of. While I'm pretty sure this post (coincidentally post #66) breaks a couple of rules, it very clea
Yo. So as of now, Day Run is in third with a two vote lead--and that's fantastic! With the final poll closing tomorrow, we only need a few more votes to absolutely secure a victory. So I would like to encourage everyone who hasn't to keep on voting, and to spread the word if they so wish! As part of this encouragement, I'm writing up a really long, almost short story-like opening post for Day Run as we speak! With luck, I'll have it ready by tomorrow--and a part of it posted here before the
...“You… What are you doing here?” the Toa demanded, taking a step forward. The Toa of Ectoplasm before him, her armor battered, dented and burned in several places, merely crossed her arms and tilted her head down, still not looking at him. His eye twitched, and he clenched his fists. “You died on Gynel; no one saw you leave, and there’s no way that you could have survived the Brotherhood’s purge of the island. Either you’re smarter than I initially thought and found a way off without being kil

RPGs are fun.
I like them.
They are great.
And... I can't think of a funny pun.
Horrible verse aside, anyone know what the current deal with the COT approval system is? EDIT: Thanks, EW. I have an idea for a Pokémon RPG that I don't think has been used yet.
To give you an idea of what I mean, allow me to paint you a mental picture:
It's 20 (maybe? Still working on the time) years after the Sinnoh games/anime/adventures as a whole. Four Team Rocket administrators, fed up w
Narrowest victory ever. Of all time. 1st. Island of Pain by TPTI--29 votes 2nd. Perpetual by Parugi and Loophole by Legolover-361--18 votes 4th. Waves of the South Alter Securi by Toa Levacius Zehvor--17 votes 5th. Dystopian by Giant of Lannister and Claustrophobia by Kryzath--16 votes I'm surprised by how much of a landslide lead IoP had, but dang--for a while there, the five-way race between the others was getting nerve-wracking...
See this RPG?
It's at 244 pages at the time of writing this blog entry, pages filled with multiple story arcs -- many of them long, some of them short, a lot of them fantastic, some of them not so much. It's the first ever Parugi-hosted COT RPG. It's also the longest ever (from what I've heard) Pokémon RPG on BZP to date, surpassing even Exo's.
And it's almost a year old already, as of a month and three days from now.
Geez. It feels like only yesterday I was working on it both in this blo
Wow, today has been big, hasn't it?
-Bluefalcon has died.
-Kyle's been shot.
-Reboot of World's End has been launched.
-I almost got assassinated.
-16 DAYS UNTIL SCHOOL GETS OUT!!!
-I talked to my best friend who I haven't talked to in a while 'cause she has been sick but is now doing better.
-RPG Contest 18 just started.
-My dad is going to work on getting MS Word working again.
Yeah.
Check it out! I think it turned out pretty nicely, personally. And yes, I did reuse part of a Sleight post for the Rocket portion of the introduction, but that's only because I thought it did a good job of showing what the current TR situation is. I'll probably change it at some point in the near future, though. =)
So... I posted that short story I was talking about. It's called "One" and it can be found here. Once again, I issue this warning: It has spoilers for what -might- come to be in the RPG. If you want to read it, though, then go ahead; I can't stop you. Also, yes, I decided not to enter it in the SS contest. Oh well. Maybe next time.
