Bio

Current GM of World of Light. When it comes to writing, there's nothing I love more than imagination, engagement, and commitment. I'm always open to talk, suggestion, criticism, and collaboration. While I try to be as obliging, helpful, and courteous as possible, I have very little sympathy for ghosts, and anyone who'd like to string me along. Straightforwardness is all I ask for.

Looking for more personal details? I'm just some dude from the American south; software development is my job but games, writing, and trying to help others enjoy life are my passions. Been RPing for over a decade, starting waaaay back with humble beginnings on the Spore forum, so I know a thing or two, though I won't pretend to be an expert. If you're down for some fun, let's make something spectacular together.

Oh, is he a merchant? I think I might just go with the other option if that's the case


A part of me wants to make Death go along with Zer0 and 6 but another part of me also wants to make Death go to the hooded figure just to see what would happen


Up to you, but if Death was in earshot when the stranger spoke to the Centurion, he would have heard that he was no merchant.
I'll see if I can hunker down and get a post out


Thanks for giving us another shot! And please, take your time.
I might drop out of this one. I just don't have enough time to write up posts.


Are you quite sure? There's no requirement in place. We've been going quickly for a while but slowed down quite a bit. Both ProPro and Amsterdam were looking forward to having Death fight alongside their characters in the mook ambush; if you could find a half-hour or so in the next day or two to right just one or two paragraphs getting in there and tearing it up, that would be more than enough.

Then again, I don't know anything about your schedule, so if it's that rough I understand and am sorry, but I really would like to see you continue if you possibly could.
Edit: BTW, the level 2 EXP counter would start at 0/20 or back at 0/10? I'm thinking the former?


The level 2 exp requirement is indeed (0/20)
Geno Whirl seems good to me. My apologies for misinterpreting the size of the enemy; taking is down in one shot makes more sense now. I appreciate your very reasonable response. There can still be shenanigans from here on out, but my main point is that the crazier you want to be, the more you should check in with me.

Geno's not out of the frying pan yet, so expect more action to come.
<Snipped quote by Lugubrious>

I really like this quote/idea. Did you get this from one of those author autobiographies or something?


Actually they were tweets from Emma Coats, a director and storyboard artist from Pixar. On second thought I don't know if that makes her especially prominent or an author.

If you want to look yourself, you can find them compiled here: https://nofilmschool.com/2012/06/22-rules-storytelling-pixar
Whew! That was a long post - but unbelievably fun to write! Did a little battle scenario just as an intro sequence.

Also, I leveled up to Level 2! What should I do with it? I'm guessing add a new power right? (Ik it says so in the OCC - amongst two other possibilities - but I just want approval first before doing so)


Yes, you get a level point that you can use for a strength or new power. Right now the power has to be one that Geno can attain or originally had before coming here. I'd like you to check the new power in with me for approval, just to make sure all's well. You don't need to spend it at the moment if you don't want, though.

Also, kudos to you for having such a thorough knowledge of Mario & Rabbids, either by playing it yourself or for going out of the way to research it. It's not exactly a well-known title.

That said, reiterating my descriptions (specifically that of the land, and its inhabitants to a lesser degree) in such detail might not be necessary in the future. Plus, while I did give you free reign, you should probably tone down a few factors in the future. A giant robo-heavy is no easy feat to take down, and finding a very strong sniper in the possession of an early-game Rabbid right next to his hiding spot and having Geno hit his first ever shot with it despite not being proficient with firearms, is rather convenient. I wouldn't say I'm too knowledgeable about writing, but a prominent author once said that conveniences to get into trouble are fine, while conveniences to get out of trouble are cheating.

Don't worry about editing, since everyone gets lucky now and then, but bear it in mind going forward. If you have any questions about what's good or not, or want me to chime in with something that might happen in certain situation, I'm happy to help! Either way, the post was highly entertaining.
They're pretty darned good.
@Lugubrious The player for Death, @Ninja, said they'd join 6 in the canyon. Will that boulder be blocking them off so Death can't follow and it's just too late, will he be allowed to parkour over it (as Death does), or in his next post be allowed to just be there with us?


Anyone going down the canyon route can be said to either have been with Courier and Zer0 the whole time, or climb over the boulder to join them after it falls. The lip I mentioned that the boulder rests atop is what makes it difficult to get past on the ambush side, since there's added elevation.

This is about what I envisioned:

So, since the battles are starting, I'll take the chance to dole out EXP so far:

@Archmage MC's Blazermate: 6
@DracoLunaris's Bowser: 7
@Stekkmen's Centurion: 5
@Old Amsterdam's Zer0: 4
@thedman's Michael: 4
@LemonZest1337's Ratchet: 2
@Vega7's Hunter: 1
@Ninja's Death: 3
@Gentlemanvaultboy's Linkle: 4

If I did not mention you, it's hopefully because you've been keeping track on your own, and not because I missed you. Thank you!
