@zombiegenesis Haven't looked through it yet, but it's from R. Talsorian, so it's probably going to use either their Fuzion or Interlock (Cyberpunk) game system. Both are decent, easy to learn systems.
Something besides the equivalent of "NO YOU". That shouldn't be hard, right?

@cogne1982 said in The Writing Craft:
Do you know how to write a movie script? I see that here you have such good links that will help to do this.
Where I could find the screenwriting tips? I think it will help me to create a script for my game that I plan to create.
I've written a couple short film scripts. I can point to a few books and links, but I'm not yet completely awake. I'll see what I can stir up later on today. :)
I do highly recommend formatting software (Final Draft for paid and CeltX for a free option) because that part is vital and hand-formatting a script is a PITA. Also finding your own 'method' for development is really important. Going from draft to script is a process; it's rare you just dive right in. A lot of people absolutely swear by Blake Snyder's 'Save the Cat' method (http://www.savethecat.com/) and I have to say... it works. I've got two of the books (Save the Cat and Save the Cat Strikes Back).
It uses a beat sheet:

Here's Toy Story 3: https://www.writersstore.com/toy-story-3-save-the-cat-beat-sheet/
(You can find other films applied to it. A lot of people will analyze movies using Snyder's method. Either as a challenge, as part of a class, or just for fun.)
Personally, I will rough out the general idea of my script using the Snyder beats, then transfer them to index cards. From there, I start fleshing out the gaps. Index cards are another sort of 'standard' (aka commonly used, but not required). A lot of software (Final Draft, CeltX, Scrivener) offers virtual index cards. You can lay them down, move them around, etc. You aren't trapped with them in a static location on the page. You can visualize where they are. That way if you move a scene, you can actually physically move it.
I actually plan out all my stories this way now, once they go past the outline stage. It's usually outline -> index card -> rough draft...
Ahem. Anyway. I'll dig up some more concrete links later. I know I've got some good videos, too.
For discussions unrelated to MU. Anything else goes.

@coin said in Movie/TV/Whatever Mash-Ups:
That said, i think this is the wrong thread, @Arkandel.
Maybe move it to the actual movies/tv thread instyead of this very old Mash-Ups thread(?)
.................GODDAMNIT @Coin XD
I wasn't gonna say anything
And just let this slowly become the movie thread
And then three years later I'd be like HAHA GOTCHA
Says it all. We're a bit shorthanded on a game in development on the coder front. It's a superhero, mixed-universe concept. It's otherwise good to go but we need someone who can help our staff admin install and configure Rhost and build the core DB. A full time coder would be great (no admin work, just coding) but realistically someone who can just lend a weekend or an evening to help us get off the ground would be a phenomenal help. Please PM me if you can help us out. Thanks much.
Tutorials and advice on how to get things done on your game.

@ziggurat @Thenomain updated instructions, and my notes above (maybe back a page?) built on that.
Check it out here: https://musoapbox.net/topic/138/zero-to-mux-with-wiki/41
Just to add to this, I love the idea but the time requirements are just not quite possible for me. On certain days I'd not be able to post at all in fact. But I love the idea in theory!
