(Throw in the main games cast and Tangle/Whisper/Jewel if you want to) Pan Dulce In the Valentines topic, we all imagine how the heroes would spend it, but what about the villains such as Dr. Eggman, Dr. Starline, Rough & Tumble, Clutch, etc? What evil plans do they have for it? N'Oni Roses are red, rhyming is hard, how do you make a Zeti your Valentine? Scruffymatt Happy Hallmark greeting card day, everyone! How do you think Amy Rose spends Valentine's Day, and does it involve a certain homemade Sonic doll that she keeps around for totally legitimate, definitely non-creepy reasons? Dove If Sega, IDW and Wizards of the Coast decided to make a Sonic themed D&D supplement based on your work so far, what character would you make for yourself? Would there be new classes to fit the world? Would you have enough dice? Kyle! Pay attention, you can answer too. Momomimi Hey guys! Was replaying the Megaman Zero/ZX collection recently so I’ve got a Megaman focused question for Ian. Both Megaman Zero and Shadow the Hedgehog have very similar character arcs where they are forced to confront difficult past but of the two I find Zeros to be more emotionally satisfying. Ian, what is your take on Zero’s overall character arc and (if you can) elaborate on what ways you would flesh it out/improve on existing material? Scurvy Piratehog I have noticed a LOT of people mistaking Dr Starline for a duck, despite the fact he's a platypus. That makes me wonder...how would Starline react if ALL the other Sonic characters within the book ALSO constantly mistook him for a duck? What would he do? Diane W. To Ian, what would the Sonic characters’ blood type be? AWF Drogune! Your own wholy original story, not related to any pre existing intellectual property. What inspired you to write it? And how much "story" do you already have planned out? When I write something, I usually have the ending planned out ahead of time. Do you look at a story the same way, or do you just write until the writing is done and figure it out along the way? Papdripopolous Have you ever written anything using the classic Stan Lee "Marvel Method" of doing a basic story breakdown, letting the artist determine the pages and layouts and acting following the basic breakdown you did, and then writing the dialogue yourself? If not, is that a process that would interest you,
