  1. Planning out a Multicross Self-Insert with Real-Time Strategy powers. Ideas for settings which correspond to Age of Empires 2's tech level (~1400s)?

    Yeah, FMA sounds like an interesting option. Maybe not for AoE2/4, Father's pretty insanely OP vs physical objects, but I'm not sure how Alchemy would interact with RTS Units (or more accurately, what I'd make up. Have them explosively deconstruct into a pile of resources equal to what they were...

  2. Planning out a Multicross Self-Insert with Real-Time Strategy powers. Ideas for settings which correspond to Age of Empires 2's tech level (~1400s)?

    I'm already planning on using all the somewhat-interesting RTS games as bases to expand the underlying power. The struggle isn't to look for more RTS', I can do that on Wikipedia. The issue is that settings that don't have much explanation for how their plot relates to their RTS mechanics (AoM)...

    Reading it now, I'll see how the story develops before I make any judgments, but it looks like an interesting manga regardless.

    Just wanted to let you know that Young Master Xian Book 1 on Kindle has Chapter 1-45, but not 46, and neither does here or RoyalRoad. Can you edit it back into the Chapter 47-50 section here and/or into the Royal Road one?

  5. Planning out a Multicross Self-Insert with Real-Time Strategy powers. Ideas for settings which correspond to Age of Empires 2's tech level (~1400s)?

    The type of setting I'm looking for (for the second and fourth settings, which should share a similar level of 'army strength') is one with Army-vs-Army battles limited to a certain scope (~14th Century-level, just barely into the 'experimenting with gunpowder weaponry' phase), and ideally with...

  6. Planning out a Multicross Self-Insert with Real-Time Strategy powers. Ideas for settings which correspond to Age of Empires 2's tech level (~1400s)?

    I hadn't considered that one, I'll give it a look. Cataclysm's not a bad game or a bad setting, but it doesn't have any one-to-one comparisons with an RTS army running 1400's technology (everything is either way higher in tech and a huge threat, way lower in tech and not a threat at all, or...

    Index: Story Idea

    I've tried SB, SV, and even the fanfiction-specific subReddit and gotten no responses, may as well try it here too. Apologies if this is the wrong place to post, I have no idea where to put this. So there's a whole bunch of RTS's out there, and I want to do a story where the SI wakes up in an...

    They folded over, but it seems 30pts short. You started with 100, spent 100 on Believable Bluff, gathered 210wp by scavenging, and somehow left with only 180gp. Since none of these last three items are worth 30pts, I'm not sure where they went... not sure if it would impact the story's purchases...

    Just noticed in the first two chapters of Doomed Skies: the Burger recipe and the cafeteria stunt make up 85 points, then Skycifer goes and copies the plans for the ghost portal (50), and steals a vial of ectoplams (50) and a fenton thermos (25). He doesn't have time to spend these points, but...

    Much appreciated! Fanfiction's kind of a legal gray area, but it seems rude to crib ideas without at least asking first and crediting them. And, do you have any 'list of terms' you might post to the Rants thread at some point, or some more "Ubiquitous Enemy Faction's" lore dumps for interested...

    So in MoL (which is a month-long time loop and one of FictionPress' frontrunner stories), you could capture someone every Loop if you started in the Loop, and it would count as a full Capture (and not, say, a 'Capture Extra')? And would you apply this same logic to any other fictional time-loop...

    (Character limit) And before I forget, how would a mid-fantasy Groundhog-Loop setting like Mother of Learning (recently added to the Interactive WC, which I doubt you use anymore) work under your/Cherico/etc's rules? Things like Capturing someone who then gets erased and re-created at a...

    Before I crib any scenarios like Doomed Skies: how do you feel about Recursive Fanfiction, specifically how closely it follows your own plotlines? Also, can we get some more 'Company Lore' posts in the Rants thread? Explanations for KoC/VV/the EXIT INTERVIEW faction would be nice, but also a...
