    Hi Magoose here one of the guys helping Duke.

    So we have some bad news.

    The quest has been canceled as duke does not want to write it anymore.

    I'm going to ask if I can take over for it, because I like this quest, and it would be a shame to kill it

    TBF, Mags, you have been doing a lot of the heavylifting for the quest, so this will be in good hands. :)

    To be clear to everyone, this is just me burning out on imagination of the quest, since my muse has been hitting me over the head a lot with so many different ideas that I just can't find myself too interested in this.

    I'll still hang out here, though, since this still does have a sepcial place in my heart.

    I'd like to thank you all for making this a wonderful experience while it lasted.

    I'd also like to thank @Magoose, @Fluffy_serpent, and @Martin Noctis for doing so much to help prepare and write this quest. I couldn't have done it without you all. :D

    I'll see you all around.

    With so many regards, Duke William Of.

    Anyone got any plans for Bruce to do?

    if I may be so bold to say one thing that may effect things:

    I highly recommend adding something that involves Brandon.

    Linda wants Brandon to graduate High school (Well help him graduate high school, considering he's tutoring him) Brandon may want to begin acting, and he wants to prove he can get out of his father's shadow.

    There is also a truly big fact that Brandon wants to fight in martial arts tournaments as well as prove to himself he can live up to Bruce's legacy as a great disciple.

    []Meanwhile with Daiei (Someone watched Star Wars 20 times, and thought it was cool and got an idea. This will lead to several things happening.)
    []I belive in a lot of things, but this, is not one of them. (Unknown Effect on Lucasfilms... ideas.)

    I say we try and Produce The Kung Fu Kid after making this plan, or perhaps after we finish our obligations with "Empire Strikes Back" and cast Brandon as Bruce, I think he'll be a perfect fit.

    This just tells me they goofed...but it's more than enough for me. Fuck you Toho, you and the horse you rode on!

    I shall for how goofed they have done:

    D100 => 15

    Oh... Oh no.

    THEY WENT TO WORK WITH DISNEY!

    Which honestly could be worse. because they got fucked by the Disney Boys, and won't be making nearly as much money as they were making under Lucasfilms...

    You reap what you sow TOHO, you reap what you sow!

    Ah yes.

    Cause nothing sais how greedy you are than throwing a clause that absolves your end of responsibility, then using such to break a deal in a hissy fit because they couldn't steal Gundam out from under our noses.

    Yeah, they ARENT gonna be pulling any legal BS out from their hat anytime soon.
     
    I think we may have just witnessed the beginning of the end for Toho. Disney is going to squeeze and squeeze, until tossing aside Toho's drained husk to die in a ditch.

    You looked at the scripts and just found yourself shaking your head.

    Mike was far more vocal. "Come on guys, you're better than this, what happened?"

    Robert just said. "Honestly, it just fucking sucked this time around, nothing clicked, they are all good but.. They just weren't there… And Dave wouldn't stop talking about that… Cyberpunk idea and it's driving us nuts."

    Dave smiled and waved. "That's because it's cool."

    • Alright, if we go fro Red Dawn I want it to be bigger than what it was OTL, let Milnius do what he wants with this movie, and not be stopped by Anti-War ideas on a movie that is clearly about war. We should also start making plans tobegins our TB division and contact the creators of Tron, perhaps buying the rights for the Shining as I've already suggested.

    But compared to everyone else...

    They rolled rather pedestrian.

    Robert rolled a 5 for fuck sake.

    Red dawn will also be heavily inspired by the Romanian revolution and defense... rather then the invasion of Afghanistan.
     
    I suggest going for the Apple Networking action... Getting them in their good graces and investing before they enter the Stock Market is a pretty great idea.

    And I also suggest trying to buy the right for The Last Unicorn from its author Peter S. Beagle, Magoos has confirmed that they are available and the Last Unicorn is a legendary animation classic for a good reason...
     
    If we are networking with Apple, we might want to see about an Atari Networking action or something along these lines? Since Atari was the premier US video game company of the era, and while collaboration is likely out of the question, they have game maker talents that are very poachable right now.

    Why can't we just wait for the next year so we can buy Apple stock and the Steves can't fuck us or Gavin over without consequences because we're a partial owner of Apple? Another reason to wait and just buy stock is to protect against a potentially shit roll for Apple networking and getting Gavin fired, thus security.

    @Magoose How long is the turn going to be?
