[QUOTE="marcoasalazarm, post: 5392591, member: 26698"] TV Tropes has Enhanced My Life (or at least been entertaining reading). In Coreline, TV Tropes Will Enhance Your Life... by letting you to continue living it. Hmm. Thinking about it, 'Knowledge: Fiction' might have to get restructured. Or not. Dunno yet. As I see it, Knowledge: Fiction insofar had been knowledge about Fictional works. Okay, let's keep that. If you see an Evangelion, Knowledge: Technology or Knowledge: Military Hardware or Knowledge: Big Honking Mechas or whatever gives you an exact, Jane's Military Weapons-like breakdown of the Evangelion's capabilities (Example: Unit-02 is a 'Production'-type, the TV series version has on its 'fins' a holster for a Progressive Knife, a Spike Launcher and (arguably) jets for deceleration from falls. The 'Rebuild' version also has the 'Beast Mode'. You do not know if it's from the Canon or Rebuild-verse-only that Unit-02 has those devices on board as standard). Knowledge: Fiction makes you look at an Evangelion and what it can do (you might now know EVERYTHING that the Eva does and its statistical value, but you'll know the 'signature' things) and allow you to differentiate if it's from the Canon, Rebuild or Gregg Landsman's Nobody Dies universes, and if so, what is beneficial (example: the ND!version of Asuka is a geek stuttery moeblob unless she's Getting Dangerous... and the Unit has a dog-like AI) and what's hazardous to your health (ND! version of Rei is... well, she's something you get from mixing Rei, Haruhi Suzumiya and Alucard. And she's not alone). Also, rolling Knowledge: Fiction in a certain situation (interacting with Fictions, for example) *might* allow you to 'read' the Tropes that are happening (if you're on a Die Hard On An X, rolling gets you a breakdown of what people who make a Die Hard On An X might be going for. You'll probably get a 'Top 10 Reason Terrorists Take A Hockey Stadium Hostage' list as a result-and a good roll might allow the GM to include the 'true' reason among them). Well... just a thought. Or a rant. Lack of sleep makes me write like crazy. Sometimes it's like that. [/QUOTE]
