Sorry I've been a touch lax in my posting. Got Rear ended the other day as I headed to work, haven't been exactly the same since then. At least my brain is starting finally settle down to a point where a post or two is possible, so I do hope to get caught up before the week is out.

Well dang!

I didn't know that! I hope you are okay, and the damage wasn't too significant. :shock:

It's always refreshing to pop on and see a bunch of new posts to read

Oh, and I second the motion for additional Predacon warlords. They're fun to write individually, but would be even more fun with more people to bounce material off of.

Well I will take on one of the above chats...but I want to see how well I can handle four just now

You'll be a welcome addition, if you decide you're up for another.

by **Marcus Rush** » Wed Jan 04, 2012 5:49 pm

Indeed, there are dozens of options. Only a few have slated positions in upcoming epics. Go Aerialbots. They need a few good mechanisms for their future cause.

Even the Dinobots need some love, after all King Grimlock needs his court of brutes.

What do you people think this place is for? Mass chatting or something? We've never done things like that here before. :0

An OOC chatterbox being used for OOC chatter? Surely you jest.

Alright guys, just a little head's up. I'll be going in for surgery on Monday morning and I'll be in the hospital for about two days. So, I won't be bale to post for those days. If my characters need to be moved then I'm giving Deva, Cry and SmokescreenGT to move them.

In my fever induced stupor I managed to destroy my keyboard yesterday with well placed liquid splash. So until I am healthy enough to go to buy me a new keyboard - I won't be very active. :BOOM:

Dear Ember,

I'm glad you liked my story. I researched a lot for it. I spent three days at the least looking up information on Tracks. I've watched Make Tracks, Auto Bop, and the beginning of Prime Target at least half a dozen times. (Particularly Auto Bop. That's my favorite episode.) Anyway, I'm new to RPGing,despite having read countless postings. (By the way, those postings about Axle and Motormaster, man... They gave me the same shiver in the sternum as seeing Tracks and the boom boxes.) So, could you give me some advice on RPGing? I'm asking everyone, and I would appreciate the help.

Thanks,

Since you've taken the time to do any research at all on your character and read old posts, I'd say a good chunk of the battle is done. If you want random advice from the community, mine is keep your creativity fed. Read the occasional comics, watch old TF series and (you're already doing this, it seems) read threads on the game even when your specific character may not be in it.

It keeps the wheels turning

I second what 'Sid said...and listen to activating music - songs that will inspire and help invision sound-scapes and get the imagination rolling

All relative to mood and which characters I'm tackling when I sit down to write. I have lots of film scores (like TF, naturally, but also stuff to the Rock, the Matrix trilogy and a long list of others). I'd say that's the meat of my writing fuel, followed closely by techno/house music.

THIS goes with anything.

Anything.

You know, if I go to BotCon, I will try to get my Characters' toys. That would be cool to make little setups of the RPG with actual figures.

This brings up an idea! What if someone made a stop motion/cg animation/comic of the RPG story! That would be awesome. It could even do well in the Film Festival if it is animated well.
