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

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
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
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.
Kay, so, here's the deal: There are ten days left until the contest ends, and I'm still not finished with Day Run. But don't fear -- as of today I'm diverting 88% of my attention to it. Luckily, I already know what I need and want to put where and what I want to include and what not.
The one thing I still do not have, however, is a name for the city in which it takes place -- but you can help! Simply post whatever suggestions for the city name you can come up with in a comment and then I'll ch

Alright, so that song doesn't completely work for this character. First of all, she's not a talking cat; second, she's a jester, not a 'joker'; and third... Well, I don't actually have a third reason. Regardless, this entry brings us back to the flip side, showcasing another Dark H
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...

Darkness lay all around, everywhere that it could touch. On the ceiling, on the floor, clinging to the walls and the stones littered about the cavern. They engulfed all, sticking to the various surfaces like parasites unwilling to part from their host. The air was still and cold, stagnant winds that had been trapped long ago. All was dark, and were it not for the sounds of something sliding, slithering about the room, it would be silent. The creature coiled, coming to rest around a patch of ston
Okay... So I'm under the impression that there was a mistake in the grade that was entered into the database for my essay; I just checked the website and the 5 was removed and my grade is back where it was on Monday, so I'm guessing my teacher accidentally entered the wrong thing--which, considering that literally everyone else I talked to in class today said that they also got really low grades, seems more likely than the idea that he just decided to fail everyone. Still, I won't find out for

Rise of the Rockets
Consequences of a Break -- 20 years ago...
Ash Ketchum's adventures had come to an end. It had been many years since he had started his journey; but having defeated the Gym Leaders of Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh and the Orange Islands, bested the seven Battle Frontier Brains, and managing to drastically weaken Teams Aqua, Magma and Galactic, along with foiling the plots of Team Rocket far too many times to count, he was weary; weary of travel, tired of fighting, a
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
I finished my RotR characters. I figured out what my problem was, and after that it was easy as pie to write their backgrounds. Still waiting for a reply from KM, though, so that I know if I need to change anything before I submit it for approval.
Which reminds me, I need to post it in the Planning topic to get a final member verdict... *Goes to do that*
Oh, and what the heck is this? I clean the house several times and offer to use some of my lunch money for next month to rent a game, and I
So, after being set back by about 11000 due to lack of a computer that I could spend hours on at a time at my mom's house, I'm finally mostly almost caught up with NaNo again. Only 6000 words behind. That's not bad, is it? ... is it? D: Regardless, things are coming along nicely. At this point I've introduced a lot of the new characters to the story -- some of them are probably going to be familiar to players in Day Run, to an extent, though I'll keep the specifics to myself. Once again I real
So I restarted my Pokémon FireRed version like, two hours ago, and am in Mt. Moon.
I've decided to take a totally different approach to how I play these games. Usually, I accidentally end up only getting my starter Pokémon to a respectable level -- for my Sapphire version it was Blaziken, for Blue it was Charizard, etc. This time, I'm not only spreading out my Pokémon usage evenly, but I'm also using Pokémon that I have never included in my party before.
As of now, my team consists of:

Do you think if I entered Night Ride exactly how it is here into the next RPG contest, but with a different name for the game, the tournament and the NPCs, that people would notice?
Alright; here's the semi-final draft for Day Run: The Garden. I'll be submitting it on Saturday. If you have any other suggestions or comments, speak now or forever hold your peace... until you get to the review topic.

Rereading the last 20 or so pages for fun.

My favorite parts so far:
-The initial confrontation between Draxion, Aarock and Daeja.
-The beginning of the Ruaki sequence.
-The conversation between Srizz and Kovian while heading out of the mountain
I finally got that armor piece I need, so Lyxek's officially finished now.
He's definitely one of my favorite MOCs yet, mostly because he's one of the few Toa-sized builds that I've made with a good custom body. Plus, I managed to spread out the black and white on him pretty evenly, which is always good.
So, yeah. I'll post pictures whenever I get a chance to borrow someone's camera. I also ordered and received a new, Metru-green Rahkshi head today, which I used to replace Levrok's Mata
Because people seem to be confused about my RPG entry, I want to clear up a quick couple of things.
The tournament won't pull in everyone, nor am I making everyone enter it. It is stated two or three times in the submission that participation in the Day Run is optional. It is not the main focus this time around -- as players of Night Ride and ROTR should note, the fact that I am telling you this straight up should mean something. Yes, it's a big part, but it's not the be all, end all of the R
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! ><
I just finished it!
And I'm glad, because it's the first really really custom body I've built in a long long long long long long time. And it gave me a lot of trouble while building it. Not to mention the fact that I've been meaning to have this dude rebuilt for the past who knows how many months but couldn't figure how to go about it. And I haven't MOCed in forever in general. But I'm done.
Only thing is I want to change the armor on his arms and legs. But other than that, I already have a
