Title: You Can't Die: General Thread (with links)
Post by: germanyfrance on January 04, 2017, 09:16:07 am: Someone (damn you, Crazyabe :P) requested a general thread for my "You Can't Die" series of community stories. I guess I'll post in here whenever I start a new one in the future, so people can PtW in here and jump on right away. And I guess I'll stick links to all the old ones here as well.

Completed Stories
You Can't Die (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=149804.msg6135489#msg6135489)
The original, the one that started it all. Don't expect pretty writing, or any semblance of a plot, but it is still pretty funny to read.
"Plot" Synapsis: An african dude is defeated in battle, and captured, but then escapes, accidentally rides a nuke, becomes god, kills an entire army, saves the day.

You Can't Die 2 (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=153356.msg6530045#msg6530045)
Probably my favorite one of the bunch, decent plot (considering I made it up as I went) and you ride a dragon named Fluffles. Good Times.

You Can't Die: Cosmological Complication (http://You Can't Die: Cosmological Complication)
Started out rough, but action picked up in the end again. You are a secret agent fighting aliens in space.

You Can't Die: Medieval Meyhem (http://You Can't Die: Medieval Meyhem)
The opposite of the last one. Good start, but I ran out of steam at the end. Also, only one person was suggesting for the second half of it. You're a peasant who becomes a knight and fights in a tournament... And also accidentally destroys a castle in the process.

You Can't Die: Technology Takeover (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=157601.msg6937717#msg6937717)
By far the shortest one (that I completed) Somehow, this one also involves riding a nuke, but this time it was on purpose.

You Can't Die: Space Shenanigans (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=159615.0;topicseen)
I like this one a lot too, I have to say it had the most coherent plot, and lots of good action. Plus, it was in space, which I like. But no aliens this time.

Abandoned Stories Either I got bored, or there wasn't enough interest. Probably not worth reading, but you do you.
You Can't Die 3 (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=153512.msg6547585#msg6547585)
I tried to come up with an entire story beforehand, but since I knew how it ended, I didn't have the motivation to write the actual story. Which is unfortunate, because I think I put the most effort in this one. Story is a mashup of zombies and Mad Max with some biblical themes.

You Can't Die: Guerilla Guardian (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=160256.0;topicseen)
The USA is being invaded by NAZIS. You and your hunting eagle need to defend it. AMERICA! FUCK YEAH!

I am pretty sure there was another one that I didn't finish, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was. Oh well, it probably wasn't worth reading.

You Can't Die: A Humble Hero (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=162070.0;topicseen)
A fantasy story with video game logic. A parody of RPGs.

in progress
You can't die: Benevolent Beasts (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=164503.0)
Two characters with two stories. A centaur, and Goro from Mortal Kombat. Pick one and watch their stories eventually meet up.

Post by: origamiscienceguy on January 04, 2017, 11:27:26 am: It's actually my series, but germanyfrance (my brother) jokingly submit this. No harm done, but hopefully he'll still update.

Post by: vkiNm on January 04, 2017, 11:30:56 am: I have written like, 2 A4 pages long of how story thievery is wrong and what a terrible human being he is.

Now I have 2 lines to say how useful this thread will be.

Post by: origamiscienceguy on January 04, 2017, 05:21:53 pm: Just to be clear, I actually don't care about "owning" this series at all. If anybody wants to make their own "You Can't Die" story, They can do so.

Post by: RoseHeart on February 07, 2017, 10:49:56 pm: I enjoyed humble hero. It got a couple votes on the Top Forum Games thread.

Post by: origamiscienceguy on June 14, 2017, 10:07:07 am: I started a new story, this time with two characters. You pick one of them, and don't peek at the other character until the story is over.
here is a link (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=164503.0) to the OOC thread.

Post by: germanyfrance on June 14, 2017, 09:27:32 pm: Alright, I updated the OP. Also, this new one needs some more people. (This isn't shameless self-promotion since I don't wrote these :P)
