Lights... Camera... ACTION!!: A Hollywood Quest

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
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.

Man even though Yugoslava will have its canon event I say we will kinda probably make it so that's it's a peaceful separation that they might in the future reunite or like a confederation but separate nation
 
Man, Bruce is not going to go on vaction to the sea for a few years without getting flashbacks...
He lives in the LA area...

It's more like leaving the LA area for a foreign country that will give him sleeplessnights.

YEah.

Bruce had no obligation to save their lives, and they are lucky he is a strong enough swimmer to save them.
Alright guys, we've finished the first act!

Now, we get to work on the second and third acts. It's going to be great!
thankfully, things got well enough, because I'm timeskipping the rest of the production...

For certain reasons. Mostly because, I do not want to torture Bruce any more then I already have.

Because six months without being with his family is torture enough.

Production Roll: D100 - 20 => 75

On the last day of filming, the ships sank again, but thankfully it was an act of God, and not malice from your host country…

The Adriatic had a storm that was so bad it locked you all in the hotel for six hours and threatened to flood your sets…

But the sets survived, while the ships did not.

Well at least it was over, and you didn't need the ships again for reshoots.

Bruh, I feel like Bruce is gonna develop immense paranoia that God does not want him to film Conan. It's one thing to have all of these issues from people, but the fact that a huge storm just so happens to come in to destroy the ship and sink them to the bottom of the sea. I guess if anything that confirms that the Curse is real. Guess Bruce is gonna make a pit stop at the Vatican, or perhaps he went to Medjugorje.

Yeah, Bruce aint finishing the trilogy til the 90s. On the one hand, it's cool storytelling to expand the saga of Conan into a truly lifetime story, on the other hand this is mainly due to Bruce being traumatized, lol.

Wait, Mediterranean Migration combined with the Synopsis was supposed to be -40 to production rolls. So it should be 55.

Because six months without being with his family is torture enough.

SIX MONTHS?! Oh no, I hope that if the Production roll goes to a 55, Bruce can at least speedrun the tail end of production to head back home to spend Christmas with his family and be there for Mary's birthday. Missing both would absolutely devastate the Goose.

And oh man, we certainly got a backlog of film releases along with LucasTV, the Sega Genesis Christmas season, and picking the films for 84. Oh boy.

Man even though Yugoslava will have its canon event I say we will kinda probably make it so that's it's a peaceful separation that they might in the future reunite or like a confederation but separate nation

Nah, if Yugoslavia dissolves, even peacefully, there's no chance for those nations to unify. Only if they're part of a greater superstate like a federalized EU.

My hope is that if war does break out, having powerhouse NATO member Romania nextdoor who has its trauma of genocide in recent memory will have them steamroll west at the first hint of genocide, or at the very least such a threat will keep all parties in-line.

Yeah, six months. and even with the change to it from the malus, it still will not be able to change the fact that this production hell was just that...

Production hell.

The fact it will get finished and no one quit the movie says more about Bruce and his company and crew then anything else.

Though the italians are mad as hell that they got fucked over by some asshole.
And oh man, we certainly got a backlog of film releases along with LucasTV, the Sega Genesis Christmas season, and picking the films for 84. Oh boy.
YEp, I'll get the rolls ready. the next few days will be all about one thing.

Clearing the backlog.
 
"you want my ships?, you can have them, we left everything we had sunk in the Baltic, you will just have to find them first"
I understood that reference.
And oh man, we certainly got a backlog of film releases along with LucasTV, the Sega Genesis Christmas season, and picking the films for 84. Oh boy.
There's a Sega Genesis Christmas Season?! Oh boy, i'm going to have to put some pitches for videogames here.

Going to be honest, I'm actually surprised the Soviet Union would allow this, considering how the current conflict in OTL is all about how Ukraine joined NATO, and Romania is almost as near as said country.
I think it needs to be said again. Critical Drinker is going to have a field day with this one ITTL.

He goes at legnth about the problems it had, the shadiness of the locals that lead to ships sinking, Bruce's legendary rant to the Italian Minister of Culture, The Yugoslavian minister of cultrue swooping in to save the day, the cold war espionage going on behind the scenes that make it seem like people in power wanitng to go on...

Not to mention Sean trying to start an affair that was shot down faster then a tie fighter against an X wing... really its the kind of shit that would make a great book 20 years down the line from an older and wiser bruce.

It was the only way that Romania was going to make peace because they could only enter into peace if it was under the American umbrella. If you don't remember, casualties were incredibly lopsided with Romania taking thousands of battle casualties in return for the Soviet's hundreds of thousands, an equal number captured, Romania was marching on Odessa, and Lviv, and the USSR was experiencing famine and plague outbreaks. The only way they could have won was to launch the nukes and they didn't want WW3 over a war they had already lost.

But yeah, Romania being right on the border and part of NATO, not to mention isolating Bulgaria stings and will likely make the USSR fall quicker.

I might be misremembering but didn't a bunch of the studios get together and decide to make some sort of American multi movie epic as a screw you to china? After they(china) tried tried to kill us. Whatever happened with that?
 
I wanna make Kung Fu Panda. A while back there was this big idea about a 6 movie series and I want a Tai Lung redemption arc.
I've already made pitches for Parts I and II, and I'm still working on the Pitch for Part III.

Personally, I don't want to make it the same as OTL, because I feel that Making Po take Shifu's place so quickly was a big mistake. He's been the Dragon Warrior for very little time, he's still in his prime and having fun, to have him take on so much responsability at this stage just seems rushed.

I think its being worked in the backburner as well.

Oh, definitely. That's a part 4 or 5 thing at least. Po should be getting up there in age when he takes Shifu's place, and maybe have him being dead and Po coping with his loss being a plot point?

I'm pretty sure we got the Revolutionary War, so you think we could do a good George Washington or are we too beefy for that?
 
Videogame Pitch: Space Harrier
I think that the Sega library would be poorer if we didn't have this gem among it. Space Harrier was an amazing game (And I say this as a Nintendo fan!) that could just keep you distracted and entertained for hours at an end if you let yourself be drawn into its pace. This game could very well be done as either an arcade game or a console game, though I think I would prefer the former since it seems to fit the style of the artworks better in my opinion.

At the same time, this is a work made by the legend himself, Yu Suzuki! The man is considered the Miyamoto of Sega...though seeing how Miyamoto went on to create game defining franchises and is still going strong while Suzuki's been out of the game for decades, and his last project (Shenmue III) just seemed to flop, well... yeah. Well, regardless, he's still pretty good at what he does, and he has ideas on what we can do with the console that will be ahead of its time, which is just what we need. Just, make sure that he at least advances with the times and sees what has changed with videogames through the decades.

Thus, I give you:

Videogame Pitch:
Space Harrier


Set Up: In this fast-paced third-person rail shooter game, the player controls Harrier, a blond-haired man and the last of Dragon Land's Sentinels, as he travels through 18 different zones, each more perilous than the last, in order to once more bring peace and order from the dragons who infest it.

Game Developer: LucasArts Entertainment
Director: Yu Suzuki
Genre: Rail Shooter

Harrier: The titular character. The last of the Dragon Land's sentinels who embarks on a quest to destroy the enemies of the land as he blasts anyone who stands in his path.
At the start of gameplay, players are greeted with a voice sample speaking "Welcome to the Fantasy Zone. Get ready!", in addition to "You're doing great!" with the successful completion of a stage. The title player character navigates a continuous series of eighteen distinct stages while utilizing an underarm jet-propelled laser cannon that enables the player character to simultaneously fly and shoot. The objective is simply to destroy all enemies—who range from prehistoric animals and Chinese dragons to flying robots, airborne geometric objects and alien pods—all while remaining in constant motion in order to dodge projectiles and immovable ground obstacles.

Fifteen of the game's eighteen stages contain a boss at the end that must be killed in order to progress to the next level; the final stage is a rush of seven past bosses encountered up to that point that appear individually and are identified by name at the bottom of the screen. The two other levels are bonus stages that contain no enemies and where Harrier mounts an invincible catlike dragon named Uriah, whom the player maneuvers to smash through landscape obstacles and collect bonus points. After all lives are lost, players have the option of continuing gameplay with the insertion of an extra coin (if the game is made into Arcade). After the completion of all stages, a cutscene of Harrier returning once more to his home to take a well-deserved rest before the next adventure calls is shown.

A.N.: Well, I just like this game, and I think we can very well do it now rather than later considering there is only a two-year gap in-between the original production date. As mentioned before, I would prefer if this was made into an arcade game but I'm also fine it being a console game.
 
Oh, definitely. That's a part 4 or 5 thing at least. Po should be getting up there in age when he takes Shifu's place, and maybe have him being dead and Po coping with his loss being a plot point?
Could work, perhaps show that Tai Lung has reappered and now he has to deal with him, causing him a great deal of anger, and being more serious and stern because of it. The resolution could be Po realizing that Tai Lung's reapperance at this time was not so much because of vengeance, but because like himself, he's also angry due to Shifu's death and does not know how to deal with it. Po would realize his own feelings and try to help Tai Lung through grieving as well. It would be an interesting parallel to their first meeting where both just wailed on each other, and now both older and wiser, instead end not on a fight, but on a conversation instead.
Oh, Nat 100 on the Score.

Well, if nothing else, it will have some really good music.
It has Basil Poledouris as composer, of course it's going to be epic!
Also a Nat 100 here, so that's nice. Who was this Dolph playing again?
Khosatral Khel, an eldritch cosmic god that arrived on Earth, assumed human form, and is invulnerable to nearly anything.
