The Dark Horse?
I just realized that because of my work schedule, I don't get Monday blues.
I get Sunday blues instead.
I hate this feel.
Ah, yes! Ensemble Darkhorse! That's the term I was looking for!
Well, it's approximate anyway.
Ensemble Darkhorse refers specifically to characters which nobody ever thought would gain such popularity, I thought. Like Boba Fett.
That's why I said it was approximate.
Hell, Magus, the perfect example of what I'm thinking of, is the deuteragonist of the second half of CT and the antagonist of the first half.
IJBM: not being able to sleep.
Except Magus is literally unimportant in the second half of the game.
...what?
He was the Prophet who sealed the Gate to Antiquity and forced Crono and his friends to find the Epoch. He also joins your party, gets a sidequest and part of the Black Omen part is Magus resolving his mommy issues. Granted, the last two are optional, but he is not unimportant.
The first part is still the first half of the game, and if a game can continue completely unhindered by someone being dead, to the point of never being mentioned after that point, they are unimportant after that point.
Hey, CU or All9, any chance I can PM you regarding that D&D thing I mentioned earlier, later today? I need to sleep now, but when I get up, maybe...
Well, I won't be able to PM until after work, which is at 4 for me, so... 15 hours from now. Hopefully enough time :P
Ensemble Dark Horses:
* Green Biker Dude, Mega Man X2
* dog, Duck Hunt
* level theme, Cheetahmen II, Action 52
* pause theme, Battletoads
I thought everyone hated that dog.
Okay, he's a reverse ensemble dark horse.
ingredients:
1x lemon
2x spoonful sugar
1x mugful water
required tools: counter, container
crafted: 1x lemonade
Well, I'm back home.
My stomach is feeling a little off; I think I'll let that settle down before I get back to SO:TL.
Joe Kubert died.
On the same day that Mike Wieringo and Mark Gruenwald died.
...August 12th is an unlucky day for comic book artists, I guess?
Introductory week, day 1: Sleep shift to make sure freshers go to bed on time. Recommended nasty wake-up music at your leisure.
Are you, like, doing a prefrosh orientation program or something?
Is it bad if, in preparation for a single D&D session coming up soon, I've printed out 43 pages of stuff and I'm not done printing stuff yet? (It's all character sheets for the bad guys, but each one is 5-6 pages).
No.
I once printed out over 100 pages in preparation for a D&D session, and I wasn't even the DM.
Though that was a game where players were encouraged to just completely break the system, so that was mostly my spell list.
Why did you need that many spells?
Well, I had Wish as a spell-like ability, so my spell list was pretty much all spells ever released for 3.5 below a certain level.
Also, because of how the rules for experience point expenditure work, it is perfectly valid to wish for a Ring of Three Wishes if you're using the spell-like ability rather than the actual spell. My character handed them out like candy. It was just that kind of campaign.
Though oddly, I mostly wound up using my Rock to Lava+quickened Stone Shape combo, which doesn't even require any obscure books or creative interpretations and can pretty much one-hit-kill anything.
Incidentally, I forgot to mention this yesterday, but I now know what roses taste like. Kinda bitter, and a bit tangy. Not very good on their own, but might go well in a salad.
Wait, you can eat roses?
