I feel like bad ideas introduced by the show shouldn't be a justification for using those bad ideas in the RP.

I don't think introducing concepts like magic and extensive cybernetics are bad ideas, it's just at the time we had no idea how such things could be implemented. I do admit, I do like RWBY to have a less... Supernatural bent to it? I mean it's one thing to have lore about the Four Maidens, but now it seems like a magical arms race to get their powers. I never liked it when shows that has these crazy weapons like gun scythes, minigun handbags, nunchuck-shotgun-staff-Sansetsukon, and giant mechs and other silly sci-fi technology focuses their efforts backwards and try to reclaim some lost magical power far beyond whatever could be made now.

Still, it's obvious that magic itself isn't really too common place. The closest to that is people using their semblance, and even dust is more like fantasy chemistry than the wizardly that seems to now be occurring. And yet it's still possible, not extinct or impossible to do. It's just that a lot of people don't know how to use it. It'd be nice to know that it's an option, rather then being told that we can only play with certain toys and build only certain things.

I honestly can't disagree more. The rules of the setting were laid out pretty early on and with a high degree of consistency in what we were told. We weren't told everything, but that was supposed to come out later.

What we have here is made by people who didn't handle the original setting alone, and are doing it now without the creator. And what they're making doesn't gel with the setting.

More than enough reason for me to not only be okay with disregarding it for the purposes of the game, but encourage it.

TBH the only reason I didn't skip the whole exposition scene is because I like listening to Vic's voice.

^I mean, the creator did sign the check for them to start down this path. Monty is just as much to blame for this as M&K are. He was an animator, not a storyteller, and it shows in RWBY. Silver eyed warriors, at the least, were planned from the start. Monty made it very clear that Ozpin mentioning her eyes had a good reason

Normally I'm not too strict on what I consider to be "good storytelling," but it would've been better if they had at least referenced the important things at the start before building upon them. Most people have problems with the new story elements because it came from a left wing nobody saw coming. o-o;

Like... imagine if I said that Sangue had special eyes and she could burn everything around her when she becomes frightened, even though it's literally nowhere on her CS. It's as surprising to take in as that. xD

look, sangue...

look with your special eyes!

Her brand....

fucking a thats enough of the internet

wrap it up humans

What we're also forgetting is that the story didn't die with Monty. Many on the writing staff have said Monty laid out the story for them and honestly that makes sense. The writers aren't there to awe and surprise, they're there to help shape the story and decide how they want the direction to go. Keeping secrets among them would be idiotic and frankly hard to work with. (I mean, we do that but we're not running a single plot line for a separate audience. We have subplot after subplot where each of us are the head writers and the others are both co-writers and the audience.)

My opinion (feel free to agree or disagree): Had Monty not unfortunately passed, the show would still be introducing and expanding on these ideas we don’t care for. Only real difference is the combat and animation wouldn't have dropped at all.

>humans

hmmm

What the heck is a human

So are we still gonna ignore the timeskip. I don't wanna be that guy....alone in the future.

It only appears that way because three of the four posts are in a separate subplot that will go forward regardless of timeskips and the fourth has a collab taking place Sunday. If you look at the bottom of Forsythe's piece there's a section moving Diamond along to Monday.

I was actually going to start posting Sapphire on Monday despite us still working on a Saturday collab.

No? I mean I wasn't planning on it at any rate.

Hey, at least now I can start figuring out who/what Beryl worships.

It gets a bit awkward when you plan a semi-religious character and then find nothing resembling religion in the source material.

Ah okay, at least the future won't be so lonely. That leaves me with one thing, do I wanna bring a Pride of lions to school grounds?

Amazingly, I was able to not establish a deity for the Mistralese Church when I wrote it up as a fluffy part of that monastic order thing I wrote for the contest way back.

Sorry about that, but yeah, subplot that Beryl and Gratia are stuck in.

Vega should be free though.

So I finally re-uploaded Vega sheet under my new ACC.

Also going to start being busy tomorrow again. I start my Winter Quarter and I have classes every day on the weekdays.

@Ayazi Good luck! o-o;

@LokiLeo789 I'm gonna be posting "in the future" soon xD
