Going along with the Karaoke Night, "Baldur's Gate: The Musical"



*delayed-reaction response time!*

A Mary Sue is a fiction character who is unnaturally perfect - usually they come into being when a writer inserts themselves into their works. For example, let's use the YuGiOh fandom - if you wrote fanfiction and made a girl character who happened to have the mysterious (and completely made-up) eighth Millenium Item that has all sorts of cool powers, and all of the characters are in love with her, and she happens to be extremely beautiful and/or extremely nice or something like that... well, that's a Mary Sue.

The idea behind the challenge would be that you have to draw
a) how your personal PC has Mary Sue-like qualities (it's okay to admit it)
b) what would happen if your party encountered a Mary Sue and how the others would react.

Or something like that. I mean, I doubt it'll get chosen *is waiting impatiently for the next challenge XD* but I hope that clarified it a bit

I wouldn't mind a Mary Sue challenge. They're entertaining, in their badness.

[Aliya]

A month passed, and no new ideas...

My ideas! Funny, I warn you!
1. If, your companions, suddenly switched their "brains"! From my meme.
2. Sightseeing (Hope I spelled, it right!)
3. Mass time stop!

[Orthodoxia]

I admit, I could really use some ideas for the next challenge

[Choo Choo]

Like Berelinde and JAMoczo, I'd like a Mary Sue challenge.

"Stealth in the Bandit Camp"
"The Pirate Isle"
"Amkethran"
"The Five" (I don't think that one's been done yet)
"Halloween" (it's coming up, you know!)
Failing that, there are still plenty of NPCs who haven't had challenges for them yet

[JAMoczo]

"The Option Not Given": A time when you, the player, wanted to reach into the game and smack someone or just scream out "WHY CAN'T I DO/SAY THIS?!"

An example: As you walk into Spellhold, you are greeted by a cowled figure who knows who you are and has the exact same very distinctive sexyevil voice as the main villain, who you KNOW is there, and yet your 18 wisdom/intelligence-having PC, by the time they figure out they've been tricked (which is when said cowled figure says "you've been tricked!"), THINKS IT'S THE COWLED WIZARDS. COME ON!

[Choo Choo]

That's a great idea - I react on stuff like that as well (just now it was in KotOR1, when someone went all "Bwahaha we can kill you even if we suck and our equipment suck" despite me wearing a bloody Jedi robe with one lightsaber in each hand, flanked by two other lightsaber-wielding, robe-wearing Jedi.)

Or like how when your party - all six of you being heavily armed - is walking in the slums and is attacked by one lone mugger XD

[Choo Choo]

That, too. And when my, like, level 80 character in Oblivion who is virtually invincible in heavily enchanted super-armor and with a sword which does about as much damage as a nuclear bomb is threatened by a lone highwayman with a rusty iron axe and a fur helmet.

I do think we're getting a little off topic here, though.

[Nuuskamuikkunen]

Furry art BG style?

[Icendoan]

I would use my normal drawings and then apply a fur filter.

[Aliya]

How about, your party in our world? Also from my meme.

[WeeRLegion]

Here's one: "YOU MUST GATHER YOUR PARTY BEFORE VENTURING FORTH!"

[Icendoan]

Definitely!

Icen

[Aliya]

Yeah, right!

[Shae]

How about, your party in our world? Also from my meme.

Along those lines another one could be to draw yourself (or your avatar) as a Charname or NPC. And perhaps the reactions/introductions of the game NPCs to such a thing

*smirk*

[JAMoczo]

I clearly have too much time to think and not enough time to draw:

Irenicus as a party member
The poster for (the theoretical!) Baldur's Gate the Movie

Irenicus as a party member

Longer Road?
