Monsters - Road Trip Side Encounters
« on: September 18, 2010, 01:03:49 AM »
I figured since I kept throwing the topic around, I might as well post the Roadside Encounters I have written to this forum.  I'm mainly looking for criticisms and ideas, because having run a grand total of 2 games, I have no idea what I'm doing.  I just kind of write stuff as it comes to me (which also explains why certain notes may not be legible).

Additionally, I figure that if anyone actually wants to run these, more power to them.

Also, yeah.  I'm mostly ripping off movies.  TV sorta ruined my imagination.

These are pretty awesome. You should post them to the Cult of ORE google group.

Thanks man.  I had some doubts about the adventures I'd finished, but if Mr PUBLISHED WRITER thinks they're awesome, that's probably a good sign.

I also followed up and posted to the Cult of ORE group.  Maybe I can get some more ideas there.

troy and his monster rowdowser

I saw it in the "Bad Character" thread and knew it had to be done.  WE MUST NEVER FORGET THE ROSWDOWER.

The only button for posting was "Send to Moderators."  I guess it's being reviewed before it gets posted?

I want my intellectual property back! How am I supposed to continue the Rowsdower/Troy canon now?

Look, that combo contained too much win for just one campaign setting.  If I remove the Rowsdower, his power will only double in your world, causing unforeseen disaster.  LIVES ARE AT STAKE!

You could have at least changed it up a bit, like maybe Troy or sparky or whatever (do you even LIKE that name?) was a girl, Rowsdower too, a big hairy girl, in fact everyone in the damn game is a damn girl! Damn gotta get back to Gutenberg's people.

Edit - Also, shouldn't one of Troy's relationships be Larry Zonka?

Maybe.  I was mostly going for a dumb parody. 

Like maybe Troy or sparky or whatever (do you even LIKE that name?)

I like the names mostly because they're kinda dumb.  I mean, you can't change Zap Rowsdower!

was a girl, Rowsdower too, a big hairy girl, in fact everyone in the damn game is a damn girl! Damn gotta get back to Gutenberg's people.

Huh?

Edit - Also, shouldn't one of Troy's relationships be Larry Zonka?

I wrote the name of the character's dad, but maybe refitting them to the football player he looks like would work better.  I suppose I already named the main villain after the MST3K commentary.

That's a line from the episode

I rewatched the final sacrifice on monday - after I got my wisdom teeth taken out

Ah.  I kinda figured it was a reference to the episode.  I think I need to watch that again if I'm gonna try to finish writing up that adventure.  I should probably clue my friends in on it, too, or else they're gonna be super lost if I ever run it.

You also have to get the way of saying Rowsdower down to a t, as I tried, it's what really sold the character and made the game fun.

Oh and if this ever gets published I want my name in lights, or at least a red sweater.

I doubt this will get published, but in the rare case that it does I'll be sure to credit you for Rowsdower's powers.

Also, if you guys liked my Final Sacrifice adventure, you should check out my adventure based on The Wizard.  It's so bad.  Also really unfinished.
