    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.

    [x]Plan: We are not gonna Take it!
    - []Cat Catastrophe: You and Cat are now living together. Perhaps you can help her get a new job as a director? DC:???
    - []Action Directing: It seems the town has been talking about how much of a beast you are at just being a stunt person. In fact, they knew you were a student of Bruce Lee. And they think that means you know how to stage and block a fight? Maybe you can DC? ???
    - [] Call your parents: You need to call mom and dad, and see how they are doing. DC: 10 (You call your parents and see what they are doing)
    - []Networking: Well time to start finding out who might actually be interested in meeting you. (Write-in what you want to try and network with)
    --[]Francis Ford Coppla

    So here is what I want to do:

    Cat: Maybe we have clout to get her a job? Maybe we don't. But hey, if we can get her a job, that will make her happy with us.

    Acting Directing: Might as well try to capitalize on Bruce's Reputation and our own, and make things awesome.

    Call Parents: We neglected that for too long, and I think it may be good to try and get advice.

    Networking (Coppola): Yes, I want to see if we can deepen a relationship with one of the most famous directors in modern hollywood history.

    I like this except for the stuff with Coppola. As far as filmmakers go he's great, but he's also enabled human trash like Victor Salva to stay afloat by funding his films even DECADES after the fact that the man was convicted of assaulting a 12-year old. I don't know WHY Coppola continues to do this, as even if Salva were the second coming of Spielberg I wouldn't see why one would want to associate with a person who's done the vile things he's done. It's meta in that this stuff hasn't(or hopefully won't) happened for another 20 years, but I just don't want to be associated with the man.

    Yeah, but it hasn't happened yet, so I really think that it shouldn't have any bearing at this point.

    Besides, I see this as more of a business transaction, to better our career. nothing more.

    Unless you have another idea of who to network with, I'm all ears

    Actually yeah. George Romero would be dope AF to get in with considering the big impact that horror's about to really get with modern pop culture. Being good friends with the father of zombies opens a lot of doors in the horror community.

    Alright.

    Everyone, I'm changing it to George Romero.
     
    It's the very early 70s; Steven Spielberg trying to prove to people that he's got talent. Unfortunately, most of the major studios don't believe him, Universal is the only one giving him a chance, and even they think he's just a good TV director but not much more.

    Oh man, I may want to be part of jaws, but that is a nightmare that I want no part of. Maybe we can try be indiana jones?

    We could totally be in Jaws. Hell we could be the shark, the dang thing's name is BRUCE, it's practically made for us.

    I really dont see how we could do something like that?

    What if we don't have time to do it.
    silentorphan said:
    Pure financial backing for Jaws instead of acting in it?

    I thought this was an actor quest not a producer quest…

    Though our recent actions not withstanding.

    But I like money so… maybe.

    Later in his career, Clint Eastwood was credited as producer on a few films without appearing in them even as he continued acting and/directing his own stuff, sometimes in the same year.

    But Clint has the hindsight of being an incredible box office draw after quite a few massive films under his belt.

    Like most Clint films that he has made I go to because I know with him at the helm, it will be awesome.

    We don't really have that reputation.

    Actually, my point was that it's possible to be the "silent money guy" in the background as producer even as Bruce continues to pursue his main passion of acting, so this can still be an Actor Quest rather than Producer Quest. In the same way that, for example, he can still moonlight on the amateur circuit even though this isn't supposed to be a Boxer Quest.
