Oh yeah, I understand. At one point I was more consumed by making massive CSs than ever posting though. I find it strange, fun, and yet annoying at once.

Lord knows what in the hell he'll be up to other than shooting street thugs with pointy sticks. What more does a man really need in life?

Am I missing an obvious reference or just not understanding the implication?

I understand. Honestly I'm not even sure how I let it become the beast that it is now, considering the initial spark was quite literally "Archery is cool. I should be an archer." and evolved from "CW's doing a pretty shit job at GA, I could at least do GA better than them, right?" to "I could totally make Green Arrow into an A-lister if I put enough work in, dammit." which is probably a horrible reason to play a character.

But yeah. Hopefully now that it's out in the open and all that jazz I'll finally kick my own ass into finishing it up. Lord knows what in the hell he'll be up to other than shooting street thugs with pointy sticks. What more does a man really need in life?

The trouble with the massive sheets for characters that don't already have A-List status is that there is a lot less to draw from. It's hard because its not really fair from a creative standpoint that characters like GA don't have nearly the rogues gallery of the Batman without using a Justice League villain, a thousand nameless NPCs, or stealing from another players options.

Also, I have an idea for a game much like UDC, distinguished mainly by policy towards OCs.

@Nightrunner

I like to think I did a good enough job of giving GA a decent Rogues' Gallery without borrowing (too much) from lesser known Batman villains.

I swear I asked Gowi to use them.

There is a constituency on this website for comic book games. The comic book games that are set up tend to draw from that same constituency over and over again. Better not to oversaturate the market with too many games of the same type that are going to spread our existing constituency even thinner than it's currently spread. I'm not sure about everybody else, but I'd sooner have fewer but stronger comic book games than too many that are struggling or moving at a snail's pace.

I think constantly making new comic book games where people are compelled to retell origin stories that have been told hundreds of time and re-establish relationships that already exist is a surefire way to unwittingly degrade the morale of that constituency. I've seen it happen on other sites. (See: Superhero Hype)

On a somewhat unrelated aside, the Hawkhound's name is Lucky, though if I recall Clint just calls him Arrow because he's a dweeb.

Oi!

Where's Black Canary gone?


Dinah Laurel Lance, Black Canary - Born in Gotham, Dinah's family would move to Star City while she was still very young. After losing her younger sister, Sarah, to a car accident in high school, Dinah traveled to the Middle East and Asia, training under various martial arts masters, most notably Sandra Wu-San and Richard Drakunovsky, better known as the enigmatic Richard Dragon and Lady Shiva. Dinah returned to Star City following the news of Malcolm Merlyn's thwarted Undertaking. She would encounter the Emerald Archer following Thomas Bolt's assassination by the man known only as Onomatopoeia early in her vigilante career. The relationship would evolve over time and the two have been dating for about a year. To say she was surprised that Star City's guardian angle was spoiled billionaire Oliver Queen would be an understatement. Raised as a fighter from a young age, Black Canary has proven to be one of the best hand to hand fighters on the planet, multiple times. This, in conjunction with her supersonic "Canary Cry", makes her a deadly opponent for anyone, let alone common street thugs.




No but really, I kind of decided it'd probably best not to go the whole dual sheet route rather than implementing some stuff from Dinah into the bigger supporting cast and all. I mean, imagine the shit Morden would give me if he had to read two backstories worth of needlessly long character sheets.

Besides, I've already got a reputation for never finishing stuff, I'd be working on a dual sheet for like, weeks knowing my irregular spikes of motivation.

Green Arrow looks decent if a bit lengthy.

Anyone have plans for Doc Strange?

Everyone complaining that Sloth's Green Arrow sheet is too long but no one says a word about the length of Gowi's Batman sheet.

@Lord Wraith The only reason I haven't mentioned the Batsheet is because I've been complaining about its mass and detail management for literal years while this is one of the first decent conversations I've had with Sloth (not that we've really had indecent conversations). No offense to @Gowi's ghost.

'Nother thing that really bugs me is that when you do something creative and people complain its different for the sake of being different, despite that totally being one of the founding principles of these games. It really chaps the hide when you play these things for years and can't expect things to be too different (it doesn't happen every time, but annoys me when it does).

You're colder than the Iceberg lounge during Mr. Freeze's visit for the Christmas party.

There, at least you can do it better than me.

Everyone complaining that Sloth's Green Arrow sheet is too long but no one says a word about the length of Gowi's Batman sheet.


This is all part of a secret competition where I try to overtake the Batman sheet in sheer length or die in the attempt. So far, with literal months of work, I can firmly say I have given up hope and eagerly await the sweet embrace of death.

I was waiting until I finished reading it. Only thirty-four more chapters to go.


Phew, at least I'm exempt from jokes until my novella sheet is finished.

@Lord Wraiththis is one of the first decent conversations I've had with Sloth (not that we've really had indecent conversations). No offense to @Gowi's ghost.


I'm not sure I want to know what this is implying. At least tell me it's a good thing, right? .....Right?

Long, pretty character sheets are just too masturbatory for my liking. Sometimes you want to gloss over that and get done to the real thing.

Maybe I should end that analogy there before it gets too blue. I'd just much rather a sparse sheet but another character in game than a super detailed sheet that never gets finished. I need some Green Arrow in my life, you son of a bitch. Don't you deny me that.

Apologies, work has effectively trounced me. But I did elect two co-GM's for just this reason. If Nate and EE aren't active I might have to elect others though. I'm going to dive into my unfinished posts immediately now.
