Dice Scum, the series.

I just want to say that I love all of you.
Anyway, here's an idea for a possible episode.
Aiden, in retaliation for Steph screwing up his game with his weeb antics, brings in a very special collection of files for his new D20 Modern game. A very, very special supplement about Stephs fantasy land of animu.
Cue "there are rules for Shit Armor. Why are there rules for Shit Armor."
It's Black Tokyo, the horrifying "hentai sourcebook" for D20 Modern. It's just as terrifying as it sounds.

Alternative idea: Steph attempts to run a "realistic" game of a Samurai RPG. This is obviously just his warped take on Japanese history that he learned from Shonin Anime. Tram proceeds to screw up his campaign by having her character use their knowlage of Ganjin Pepper to invent firearms and modern warfare as we know it. Cue the samuri calvary charge being curpstomped by a line of bayoneted muskets.
Bonus if there's a conversation like this:
Steph: "But, but, the samurai are elite warriors! Each one is trained from birth to crush the foes of their lord!"
Tram: "Trained from birth, huh? Alright, lets do the math."
Steph: "huh?"
Tram: "so, the total samurai casualties were, what, 5,000? So that's 5,000, and each of them has 18 years of training to become a samurai, so that's, wow, 90,000. Lets put that in perspective, shall we? In a single afternoon, the rag tag army of peasants, ronin, and pirates we managed to raise and train in three weeks just cost the elite warriors 90,000 years of training. 90,000 years ago predates the first know human settlement by roughy 62,000 years. In layman's terms, you army of elite warriors just got their ass shot back to the stone age."
Steph: "....but....but that wouldn't really happen! That's bullshit, that's not realistic!"
Tram: "well, according to the rules, it looks like it just did."
Steph: "SHUT UP, I'M DONE I DON'T HAVE TO TAKE THIS! ALL YOU DISHONERABLE FUCKS DIED AND THERE'S NO SAVING ROLE, FUCK YOU!"

Love it! We've also started working in your other idea. Hope you enjoy it.

It fits pretty well for Episode 4, since Stephen runs a WoD game. He could try doing Kindred of the East and/or Hengeyokai with a samurai theme; ie it takes place during either the Gempei War as he sees it, or the Sengoku Jidai as he sees it. Tram pulls an Oda Nobunaga on him.

Might be able to pull some ideas from these for the "Hentai D20" episode.

Indeed. The best demonstration of its failure is to see it in real time.

We're jumping a bit and we're a decent ways into Episode 5, or is it 4 now due to situation? It's the one where Frank loses his fucking shit either way.
 
Would it be in poor taste to have an episode where kids from "the wrong side of the tracks" show up for a game? They do everything everyone else does, but just with African-American English?

"You on da wrong side of Middle Earf, foo'. My dwarf fighta will fuck yo shit up."

At the end of the day, after many surge sodas and much cheap Chinese food was ingested, everyone had the best time of their life.

Edited to add: Yes, it's very cliche. Apologies.

What are we, Hayden Black?

So what's the current plan for number of episodes? I know we also talked about a sort of "mini-episode" series showing each main character's home life, and there's at least five episodes semi-planned out, so what's our minimum episode goal?

Magic number of scripts is 3, including the pilot. They're working on it.

Question for you all: Are you going to sign your names to it? Or will you trust people not to pull a Hayden Black on you and run away with the scripts?

It might be funny to put ©2015-???? Kiwi Farm Productions, all characters in it are parodic. But unprofessional.

I see @Adamska and @Orthodox Chrischanity are writing, but I think some polishing of the character profiles are necessary. I can try to make character inserts for compiling the end product. So far I am batting 0-1 (or some sports metaphor) for suggestions, but perhaps each character page can look like a role-playing game character sheet?

https://sneed.yimg.com/fz/api/res/1.2/VMenIR18P5Ije.HDVFpvig--/YXBwaWQ9c3JjaGRkO2g9Mzk5O3E9OTU7dz0zMDk-/http://www.interplanetarylizards.com/_/rsrc/1362956483467/bible_animation/pitch-bible/pitch-bible-ilottp-2013_sm-4.jpg?height=400&width=309

Except for maybe Chris', which will read like a page from a sourcebook?

Art is necessary, and there should be art for everyone, including perceived antagonists, though they don't have to be anything so intricate. The only thing that needs to be of the highest caliber is the cover page.

This compilation will be for when you diligent workers want to go beyond a few Youtube videos. But with Hayden being the China Syndrome of Comedy, you probably don't have to go beyond a couple videos to piss him off.

The OG descriptions need updating anyway, since elements have vaguely changed for several characters, and this is actually a great idea for the pitch bible.

@Adamska and @Orthodox Chrischanity are definitely the main writers. I suggest additional scenes and minor edits when the post parts of the scripts or episode ideas, and give suggestions for personality quirks of certain characters. We have a couple artists on hand, thiugh one or two of them aren't able to get on much due to real life stuff, and we've already got a few people lined up for voice acting as well as someone who can write music for the show.
 
After listening to Hayden and Tera's most recent interview, and how Tera had to REMIND Hayden that transmen exist, I think we need more transmen!

We had a bout of writers block, but thanks to an idea by @SteelPlatedHeart , we're back on track.

Dunno about the schmucks who are on art details though; I'd go bug them on that, since episode 4 is about 80-90% done.

Happy to have helped.

I'll go see if I can't get ahold of the artist I know.
 
Hello, your friendly neighborhood storyboard artist/concept artist is here.
Because of school and a vacation out of the country and constantly doing art-related stuff for assignments [not even fun ones, at that] I haven't been able to churn out anymore concepts, but I'm here now if you guys need any particular characters concepted.

As for storyboards, I wasn't sure if I should start it before or after the voice actors do their thing; I don't want them feeling limited by actions I'd board, just as a suggestion, but if you want them boarded before the voices I'll do that too. Just whatever works for ya'll, really. :biggrin:
 
I'd want at minimum concepts for Tram and Chris done for the moment since they appear every episode; I am perfectly aware of the fact it's self first, project second though so it's more of a suggestion at the moment

Some ideas for designs are:

Tram is somewhat androgynous, but I like the idea of them being a girl, tomboyish in nature.
Chris is in between being clean and shabby, to represent his lapses in hygiene. He may or may not have shades of CWC in him.

Free to do this in however fashion you wish so long as it matches the concepts posted here earlier; shows need to have a consistent style after all.

Storyboarding to my experience is typically before V/A work, but honestly it makes sense to have the V/As react first, then base expression on quirks of the voice.

New script will be here tomorrow by the way; schooling is intensifying so I had to wait a bit for a calm zone.

Speaking of, when will we start casting/trying out VAs? I know we already castes a couple people, but wasn't sure if anything was confirmed.
