    Re: Reboot the franchise? What direction would you go?

    Humans (Schezar's Scavengers) were already on Aiur according to canon, if for some reason Raynor's Raiders don't count. Other planets they can flee to don't matter, as fleeing Aiur is not a viable...

    Re: Reboot the franchise? What direction would you go?

    An infested human being a powerful entity is dumb when every other infested Terran is a driveling zombie. Plus what Mag said. Kerrigan is there to round out the Zerg cast and be a foil for...

    Re: Reboot the franchise? What direction would you go?

    I was thinking more that the Koprulu Terrans are analogous to the lawless Terminus Systems from Mass Effect (still outcasts/scum, yes) and that Earth has its own problems and is far away enough that...

    Re: Reboot the franchise? What direction would you go?

    - Full reboot, covering only SC1 events.
    - I'd have a combination of rewriting things that happened and keeping them but basically cover the same events.
    - No "lost Earth" tropes. Earth and the...

    This all kind of makes me wish I had the budget for making a full SC1 reboot.

    Re: Random Thoughts Thread

    That's why I said "I want to adhere to current canon".


    So? It's my prerogative as a campaign creator to do what I want.


    If they've got warp travel and devastated the galaxy, they're hardly...

    Re: Random Thoughts Thread

    Sigh. The restrictive part of Enumerate is having to care about a secondary canon. Why is this hard to understand? :/

    It's not hard but it's not worth the effort. These tiny changes add absolutely nothing to the plot or one's enjoyment of it. This trivial worldbuilding minutiae doesn't matter in a fanon universe...

    How do you still not get my point? It's not the content of Enumerate that's restrictive, it's having to worry about an alternate canon, as opposed to freestyling your own universe. Why should an...

    I’ve already said it a bunch of times. Nobody wants to or cares to read any external documents as supplements to what is already a tough sell: a StarCraft fan fiction. I know StarCraft canon and so...

    Re: Random Thoughts Thread

    But other shared universes are canon. This isn't. Writing a story for this would be a fan-fiction of a fan-fiction. I'm not saying it's bad, just redundant. Enumerate is still StarCraft at its core,...

    I don’t think you’re being hostile, just kinda annoying. Hopefully I’m not being hostile either.

    The reason nobody cares about Enumerate is that it’s produced a sum total zero actual stories that...

    Mislag thinks the manual is inconsistent with the game itself.

  19. Re: Old School Analysis: The Overmind really WAS trying to destroy the protoss

    Yes, it's inevitable because the Overmind wants to assimilate the protoss, and it has to destroy their military to do that. The manual tells us the Overmind's motivation (to assimilate the strongest...

    There’s a bunch of background lore that doesn’t get touched on all the time. Who cares? The decision to save terrans by Tassadar was still a factor in the game though. What is your point? What does...

    Again, the protoss are threatening the Zerg in no way while they’re on Zerus. They’re in completely different parts of the galaxy so that makes absolutely no sense. Like, what even are you talking...

    Mislag can say whatever he wants. But the Ara/Akilae thing seems like fanon/misinterpretation.

    It's mentioned they disagree with each other in the manual yes, but the Akilae don't have a monopoly...
