A couple notes with this round: Red Team's posts should cover their experience on the way to the library (if anything happened, although I'd encourage some interaction or introspection), their experience in the library with the mini-horror situation involving the mimics, and also the descent into the catacombs.

@ONL, you're free to write out the Lakeside battle as you see fit, for however long you like. Or if you'd prefer, we could collaborate, or go back and forth.

@Lugubrious I'll try to write out the battle for now, perhaps next round. But for how long will the battle continue before the other heroes show up?

Maybe not that long, but a fair bit can go down in a short amount of time when fighting. Next round, did you say? Does that mean after this coming weekend's update?

@Lugubrious Next round, as in perhaps a little collab after next update yes. I'll try to get a post for this round out tomorrow. It's been a tough week so far.

How light hearted and/or meta can we go with this i.e. could I be Patrick Star or a deck of cards from solitaire, the Linux Penguin, etc. And indeed what constitutes a game? I.e. would clippy or bonzi buddy count? Or the computer of Zork? Regardless fairly interested in this and once some reading is done and questions answered I will work on a sheet this weekend

Hey there, glad to see you're interested!

Your character can be lighthearted, but must be both a character and a character that originated from a game, so all the examples you listed would not qualify. It's difficult to qualify what exactly makes a game (for instance, saying digital media for entertainment purposes that necessitates interaction from a player would no doubt have loopholes), but I can go on a case by case basis if need be.

To clarify, this means that the first ever appearance of the character must be originally in a videogame rather than the character simply appearing in a videogame? Or would the iteration of Patrick Star from Spongebob: Battle for Bikini Bottom work? Or the Linux Penguin from Tux Racer?

Your first assertion is correct, although be aware that I made an exception for Geralt who's originally from a book. A character simply appearing in a game is not enough. No Patrick, no Goku, no Sam and Max. In fact, even original characters from licensed games for non-game properties are not eligible, like the main character from Star Wars Fallen Order, for instance.

Very well then, would a villager from minecraft be okay? Got a few other ideas but this is the main one

That'd work. It may be tricky since a villager doesn't have much of a personality or powerset, which could lead to a lack of anchoring, but if that is what your heart desires by all means.

Alright, would you say Ellis from Left 4 Dead would be a better one?

By my preference I'd say so, but it's down to you, of course.

@Lugubrious So I need to ask before applying this one question: Any era of gaming character can be played? I have a specific character in mind from the SNES era: Frog from Chrono Trigger.
