I'm aware of how awful Masked Rider was, I'm just saying there's TECHNICALLY a presence in comics you could argue for, even if it's a minimal and absolutely terrible one. I'm sure it could be used for something fun if you actually tried XD

I'm not saying OPEN THE FLOODGATES AND LET ALL OF IT IN! I'm just saying there's sufficient connection and depth that a writer doing a decent job should get the chance to have their ideas evaluated like everyone else's even if manga's their chosen medium considering the long and intertwined history of the two.


My only concern is losing players and maybe a GM (possibly?) over the inclusion. I feel like my hands are tied.

I wouldn't really lose sleep over not getting to play characters from eastern sources for this, if that means anything. If people feel that strongly about it, then... Yeah.

Besides, still need to get over how intimidated I feel by the CSs and IC and actually write up Amethyst so yeah. ^^;

Rin, stop sweating. You are fantastic and I enjoyed your concepts & work since Titans. I was sweating (as was Nightrunner) when we first joined UDC so believe me that I trust that you can and will do fine here.

If we can't come to a resolution over it, I'm obviously also fine with it although naturally I'd feel disappointed in people's inability to compromise. I'm just trying to lay out a potential argument for the merit of it and challenging some preconceptions people may have, not trying to cause a gigantic revolutionary upheaval.

@RinYeah, regardless have some confidence in yourself!

So I'm writing up some stuff to add to Hellboy's CS detailing SHADE's base of operations and such.

This game and continuity already exists. Things have been established, certain parameters have been set, and the "world" the game takes place in as it stands cannot accommodate an influx of characters that would mandate a fair amount of that to be changed after the fact without people's informed consent going in.

I don't have a problem with a game wherein Western comics and Manga exist side by side but I don't see why a pre-existing game needs to change to accommodate that. If the demand for such a game exists, make that game and people will apply for it.

This shouldn't need to be said. If there's a market for this, as people seem to think there is, be confident enough to make a separate game and let it stand on its merits.

Basically expect a lot of Lovecraft references. And some inspiration from "Welcome to Night Vale".

This is assuming that adding it wouldn't change the universe at all, of course. Do note if this ever goes through (which I'm not sure if it will) I would never accept the likes of universe changing lore that would do more damage than good.

My argument was never "Let's change the existing setting to accommodate manga characters' in fact my whole point was the opposite, in that I feel some characters from manga and the like could be added WITHOUT requiring changes to the pre-established setting.

That said everyone on the pro-manga side has already graciously conceded that if people are diametrically opposed to the idea we're fine with dropping it.

Yeah, I get that you aren't advocating something that would be lore-breaking. I'm with you on that, but I'm one small voice on a council of three with vast senators opposing such a bill.

Nevertheless part of the POINT of the political institutions you're referencing, when done CORRECTLY at least, is that opposing viewpoints are able to have advocates, even if they rarely if ever succeed XD. As I've said and you've mentioned, we've already conceded the point to the usual tyranny of the majority XD

@Gowi - I'm blaming @Ruby for me being here... she promised me the romance, so...

Edit: Done.



We'll be reviewing it when we can.

So, yea. Welcome to Arkham, MA, home of SHADE. I will probably add more to this as mood/inspiration strike me, but this is what I have so far.

When you say "paranormal" customers at the Hanged Man, does that include a relatively beardless dwarf with magnificent chest hair?
