Tropers: The Series discussion thread

1 is correct.

Alright, episode's coming to a close, so two things:

1. The Mid-Hiatus Christmas Episode is next, so whoever wants to name it, feel free to name it once I wrap up.
2. Revenge, I would've preferred if you'd let me write the cool down for the plot, considering I was the GM of the episode, and you sort of put forward a conclusion ahead of me. It doesn't matter too much in this case, but it should set the precedent; The GM of the episode makes the decision of the story, while players make decisions concerning their characters. This is not to say players shouldn't forge their own ending to a story; far from it. But, because it is the GM's story, they should be allowed to approve it, to some extent. The only change in the future that this would require is simple. Instead of, "Taco shoots the evil robot", try for "Taco shoots at the evil robot, hoping to finally hit.

Is everyone alright with this precedent?

I gotta cook dinner so if the Christmas special starts while I'm in the kitchen, I have some bits pre-written so if I catch a break, I'll post them.

(by the way, I'm out of creative names at the moment. :V)

No, not baby names.

For boys:

1. Rutherford Jones
2. Gill Hartford
3. Gary Hill

For girls:

1. Gloria Smithee
2. Moira Gonneril
3. Ursula Tarmish

I agree with you, Taco, though personally I feel like we should add more to this episode. What does everyone else think?

Sorry if my new post is super frustrating and/or Idiot Ball-y.

Hey, guys, because this episode was supposed to end with the plane landing, what if we ended this episode on a cliffhanger, leading into the Christmas Episode?

Sorry, I got a bit ahead of myself. :3

I think that'll work.

If anyone wants to take the next episode title, it’s up for grabs.

Edit: lol nevermind

I think I just found Revenge's theme, so to speak.

Tales, I'm gonna take a leap here and guess that you think we are currently in Russia. We aren't. We're actually in the Underground. As in, the Undertale Underground.

I specified that I wasn’t in Snowdin in my post. I’m the only troper currently in Russia.

Okay, but you were with the group until they got on the sled.

I started folders on the Characters page for Henderson and Pomposo. Pomposo, I'll bring him back some time in the future so we can get more use out of him, but I'm having trouble thinking of tropes for Henderson.

Oh, nice! Those are really cool.

I think Big Good might apply to Henderson in some way? Maybe not that exactly, but one of the related Tropes...

Mentioned this in the Discord but posting it here too: I was thinking of doing a Super Smash Bros.-inspired episode at some point, probably some time during this Season. The Tropers basically get transported to a Smash Bros. game and have to fight (just... as ourselves, but you can make up character-appropiate powers and attacks as part of your moveset if needed). Would also be the first episode I GM

As I said in the server, I strongly approve of this. It'll be cool.

Ah, I see. I didn't know your idea was to have us fight as ourselves. I was thinking we would actually turn into different characters from the game, but that's just as cool.

Also gonna try making the Smash Announcer a character. x3 Not sure if I'll have him actually appear in person or just be an unseen background voice though

Victor: Finally, I have her, and nobody can stop me! I will have her forever!

Revenge, North Korea, and the Time Council: Allow us to introduce ourselves.

Thought I'd let y'all know that the next episode is gonna be centered on Clone!Robin.

On the Discord server, I also brought up an idea for an episode, where, using Aveyond's power, we all enter a history book to live out the Tropesberg War of Independence.

Like Magic Tree House?

I guess.
