    I dunno about the rest of your suggestions, but I believe it was confirmed recently that Poe originally was going to go with Finn instead of Rose.

     

     

     

    It's true, and it honestly boggles my mind that Johnson saw absolutely no potential for conflict between Poe and Finn, what with their completely opposite ideologies regarding the fight against the First Order.

     

     

     

     

     

    I don't like the idea of using Rose as a disposable foil to push growth in another character- fridging women to push a male character forward is a terrible trope, and I'm still angry at the Finn/Rose kiss as is. I liked Rose, I thought she was a nice addition to a conflicted movie that seemed dead-set on retconning all of TFA's fun and momentum. She was already there to push Finn's convictions, but I hate hate the idea of her dying to do the same to Poe.

     

     

     

    You make a solid point, though I'll note that I did limit my suggestions to tools the movie already provided; in my hypothetical "fix" (as much as one can "fix" a movie for themselves alone) Rose could honestly be male and it wouldn't alter the plot at all.

     

    In retrospect, even in my "fix", Rose needn't necessarily die; but that means someone else (either Holdo, unfortunately, or Leia, as per Carrie Fisher's passing) would have to perform the kamikaze move.

    Sorry, I stopped reading your suggestions when you said Rose was the weakest. I liked Rose.

     

    :music:

     

    I mean, it's a bit rude that you'd just invalidate my thoughts like that, but you do you.

     

    I'm fine if you disagree, but the least you could do is respect my opinions enough to not point out that our differing views on a character led to you refusing to read anything after that point.

    Another well written teaser. I'm noticing a theme with your BZPGOT post. Each takes place in some form of underground location the dungeons darkfire catacombs is this deliberate or happy accident?

     

    Happy accident! I didn't even realize until you had pointed it out lol.

     

    These teasers have all been pieces from Episode Zero - specifically the parts that I've completed writing, since they don't involve input from new players.

    "Patience is a virtue and for once a jungle official has it." Rassilon.

     

    It's funny you should say that, considering the jungle player storylines....

     

     

    To the first part: This world is about as hectic as Roman history following the Pax Romana (except with magic!), after which entailed a thousand years consisting of myriads of on and off civil wars, foreign invasions, depopulation, fluctuating borders, brief periods of renaissance, and then imperial death and rebirth before finality.

     

    that sounds like BZPGOT, alright.

    Seems like it's kind of a cooperative dungeon crawler? Maybe like DnD? (So there's, presumably, some story with an appropriate final goal the team must achieve, such as killing a boss or recovering an artifact)

     

    I really like the concept, only thing that concerns me is the "one-time Will check" for mask usage. If you fail, does that mean you can never use your mask? That seems a bit prohibitive of low Will.

    I would imagine you'd be able to try again later. There might be some sort of designated cooldown time, so that you can't just sit there spamming checks until you learn how to use your mask though.

     

    Also, color me interested. TBH the "Great Games"/BZP Realms (we really do need to figure out a single title for these things that everyone can agree on) kinda resemble DND campaigns already, and this sounds like it would lean towards being a DND type of experience even more heavily.

     

    Color me interested in playing.
