This is too fun. I'm throwing a party, and Link is invited. by Alleb on 2017-06-14 22:57:00 UTC Reply

I now continue my personal tradition of jumping on bandwagons. Same rules as Ixi's (those being the same rules of all previous games). The answer will, again, be posted this time tomorrow.

Sorry EvilAI, Mattman, Tomash--I got caught up in IRL stuff today, and I'm leaving early tomorrow, so I can't delay the reveal at all.

And so, without further ado...

Can Harry Dresden come? (nm) by Miah on 2017-06-16 15:30:00 UTC Reply

It appears Harry Dresden can come! by Alleb on 2017-06-17 04:24:00 UTC Reply

Wasn't expecting that, actually.

That was entirely accidental. I was still thinking it had to do with people in certain kinds of magic existing worlds, but he does eventually have a named sword.

Can any of the following come? by [EvilAI]UBEROverlord on 2017-06-16 13:46:00 UTC Reply

Gilgamesh (Fate Series)

Jayne (Firefly)

Agent Phil Coulson (Agents of Shield)

Varric (Dragon Age)

Rukia Kuchki (Bleach)

Gilgamesh is invited.

Jayne is not.

Agent Phil is not.

Varric is a bit fuzzy, but no, he cannot.

Rukia is invited.

I said I'd post answers at about this time, but no one has guessed correctly yet. Very close, but not quite right. Should we continue, or shall I post the answer?

How about that glorious black scottish cyclops, the Demoman? by Larfen J. Stocke, esq. on 2017-06-15 06:20:00 UTC Reply

The TF2 one, in case you were wondering.
Black Scottish cyclops being such a frequent character archetype, of course.

If not normally, perhaps with his blade The Eyelander? (nm) by Mattman on 2017-06-15 15:38:00 UTC Reply

Kreyul Arroyal (Nightmare Factory)

Merciful heavens. by Alleb on 2017-06-15 00:31:00 UTC Reply

I'm only familiar with one of these characters, but my best Google-fu has resulted in these answers:

Justin is not invited.
Marth is invited.
Ichigo is tentatively invited, under the same rules as The Hyper Light Drifter.
Kreyul is not invited.

-Alleb

If Marth is invited, how about Robin? (nm) by Iximaz on 2017-06-15 00:54:00 UTC Reply

I believe Robin is invited as well. (nm) by Alleb on 2017-06-15 01:03:00 UTC Reply

Oooh, starting to get an idea... by Granz the Ice Cream Monarch on 2017-06-15 03:20:00 UTC Reply

Is Weiss Schnee invited? How about Ares from Percy Jackson and the Olympians? (Or any version of Ares, really.)

Weiss is invited. by Alleb on 2017-06-15 04:30:00 UTC Reply

Ares is sliiightly borderline, but no, he is not invited. After some wiki-ing, I've determined that Jaune can come as well, though.

You're inviting swords(wo)men, aren't you? So, I'd guess that Tracer couldn't come, but Genji could?
