Well, I found this rather amusing.

The achingly beautiful gothy swordsman who is riven by inner tragedy. Hmmm... :p

Anyways, great and funny material. The amazing thing is that it's actually practical for GM people.

I haven't had such belly-aching laughter in weeks! :D

Reminds me of that thread in the Playground about things we learned from video games...

/me is a perfect example of Logan's Run Rule.

Hiro Rule should be added to my list in that t-shirt thread :rolleyes:

You will accumulate at least three of these obligatory party members:
The spunky princess who is rebelling against her royal parent and is in love with the hero. A must have in all RPG ;) Not that Duke de'Arnise was a royal, but you don't want to hear what I did when I discovered Nalia wasn't an option :sosad: :toofar:

The achingly beautiful gothy swordsman who is riven by inner tragedy. Why does it have to be a -man? Poor, poor chevvy :(

a spectacular scar, a missing eye, cyborg limbs Since when that be a turn-off?

You will also confront/be confronted by at least three of these obligatory antagonists:
The amazingly good-looking and amazingly evil long-haired prettyboy who may or may not be the ultimate villain. Yes, yes, each time brushing my teeth :rolleyes:

If the hero has a younger sibling, the sibling will be female and will be kidnapped and held hostage by the villains. ...And they'll always be in secret, unspoken, hidden and fought/controlled love that will cease to be so or not, depending on the R category. Perverts.

8... 73 and 74 (Magic Inequality) are also sweet memories of BG... 87 & 88 don't seem alien... 90 hehe... 94... 105... 115... 116 (OK, I know that with *sufficient* levels of adrenaline this rule is 100% accurate RL too unless one party be already in a steady relationship with someone else whereby it's reduced to 66%)... 117 (Yoshimo)... 119... 120 (damn right - those fancy mage dresses and Athkatla Sewers, let alone Bodhi lair and such)... 124... 125 - eer Jaheira? Oh, but she is young, isn't she? She's your mother and menthot figure, but she's still referred to as girl or young lady :p ...130... 139 - or Anomen, same kind of charm :p ...

lol, that's hilarious! :)

Well, not I know what to avoid when writing game plots. :lol:

What about the achingly beautiful gothy necromancer who is riven by inner tragedy :p

What about the achingly beautiful gothy necromancer who is riven by inner tragedy And needs some sensitive, caring and selflessly moral goody guy to show her the right way? Wow! :D

Hehe, I played Phantasy Star IV yesterday. Just to see how many of them cliches who appealed to the game. Roughly 85%... :D

I LOVED IT
