I was thinking the owner was also a recurring character, but I guess I got them confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xerryss Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 Re: Friends, 1934 I don't know about your Chandler. Really, on the show, he's a bit ineffectual and he's the clown. Your write up seemed a bit too sauve. He tends to mess everything up for himself. Of all the characters on the show, he seems most uncomfortable with himself and his lot in life. He wants more, but does not seem to think he deserves it. He tries to swing with the "big business" but does not like it. He is good at it but has no confidence and it does not make him happy. He sees himself as a loser and cannot handle that, thus he must always make a joke. I think you nailed joey except I think his seduction should be higher. He could make a girl swoon with a sentence! Monica, BTW, could not hold her liquor. Drinking too much got her in trouble more than once, I remember the fun bobby episodes and the Chandler and Monica get together episodes to name just a couple. I like your Pheobe a lot. I think she would have psycic powers. But I think she should have conversation or something. She could get the best of anyone in an argument (esp. Ross) and delighted in winning the upper hand that way. Also, Jazz is spelled wrong. Rachel is good! I like your back story on her - very appropriate. I also like that you gave her combat driving. Ross is great too. But he did not have a spider monkey, he had a Capuchin Monkey - much like the one in Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark. ~Xerryss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xerryss Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 Re: Friends, 1934 Joey: How u duin? Also, in Phoebe's court, she was a cab driver for a while, so she might have AK: New York (if you think she could get by being a cab driver). On the sub plot tilt, she also found out she has a half-brother by affair or divorce (can't remember which). He could be a DNPC. Jak I don't think Pheobe was a cab driver. I think that was her grandmothers cab. But she should definately have streetwise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xerryss Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 Re: Friends, 1934 One other thing Monica had was being insanely competitive oh yes! esp. with Ross. She thought he was the miracle child and their parents favorite. And she ALWAYS had to be the hostess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote'] Fair point, but then the "real" Chandler wouldn't last 5 minutes in a Pulp game. Had to do something to toughen him up. Hmm...maybe a Psych Lim reflecting lack of self-confidence? Monica' date=' BTW, could not hold her liquor. Drinking too much got her in trouble more than once, I remember the fun bobby episodes and the Chandler and Monica get together episodes to name just a couple.[/quote'] DOH! You're right, I might drop that. Or I could keep it under the heading of ironic character contrast...have to think about it. I like your Pheobe a lot. I think she would have psycic powers. But I think she should have conversation or something. She could get the best of anyone in an argument (esp. Ross) and delighted in winning the upper hand that way. Also a good point. Also' date=' Jazz is spelled wrong.[/quote'] OK, now that's just embarrassing. Ross is great too. But he did not have a spider monkey' date=' he had a Capuchin Monkey - much like the one in Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark. [/quote'] Correct, thanks. I'd actually already corrected that on my version, but forgot to update the online version. Don't forget that Pheobe has an evil twin (possible disad) - UrsulaRight, that's mentioned in her Disads, as a Rivalry and a (mistaken) Reputation. Thanks again!

Supreme Serpent Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 Re: Friends, 1934 I like your Pheobe a lot. I think she would have psycic powers. ~Xerryss Haven't looked at the writeups recently, but just thought it would be fun if she had some psychic powers, but was also convinced that she had others that she really didn't have. So instances of her use of the real powers would lend credence to her other claims, and instances of her imagined powers not working would cast doubt on abilities she really does have. Like having real retrocognition, but also being convinced that she has precog, which she doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdamnhero Posted June 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 Re: Friends, 1934 Well, I ran the Pulp Friends game at Bencon last weekend! Had a blast: drew two sold-out tables and had a bunch of requests for more, so I may have to write a sequel for Tacticon. I'll try and post some kind of after-action report as well as update the character write-ups, which I tweaked a bit. But in the meantime, I put a few of my favorite lines up on the quotes board: http://www.herogames.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1076847#post1076847 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might have to have her show up in the next mod. Except as GM I'd be the one who'd have to do her voice, and I might wind up choking myself... Oh and thanks for the bad memories of this show.
