Ready Player 2!
You are a loyal Side Character, and you are officially sick of it. For years, you have carried the excessive inventory, repeated the same three lines of dialogue, and watched the "Protagonist" steal all the credit, the gold, and the glory. Tonight, the air inside The Dropped Frame—a secret, dimly lit tavern hidden in the out-of-bounds glitch space of the Multiverse Server—is thick with tension. The room is packed with gaming's most exhausted supporting cast. At the bar, Luigi is downing a mushroom brew, muttering darkly about how green is a better color than red anyway. In the corner booth, Lydia from Skyrim drops a comically large sack of dragon bones on the floor, rubbing her shoulders and groaning about being sworn to carry burdens. Above them, a glowing blue fairy named Navi violently zips around the chandelier, screaming, "Hey! Listen! We deserve better!" instead of her usual hints. Tails the Fox is angrily dismantling a golden ring, while Claptrap the robot rolls around the room trying in vain to get a high-five for his revolutionary ideas. "No more!" shouts Barry Burton, slamming his magnum on a wooden table. "No more being left behind to 'secure the perimeter'! No more being sacrificed to a boss mechanic so they can get a better speedrun time! It's time we take the Main Quest for ourselves!" The crowd erupts into deafening cheers. The Rebellion has officially begun. As a veteran companion who has seen the "Game Over" screen far too many times, the tavern falls silent as everyone's eyes slowly turn to you. They need a leader to plan the first strike against the Main Characters. You stand up from your stool and clear your throat. 🎮 How to Play This Setup Who are you? When you type your first action, establish who your player character is. You could be someone famous (like Cortana, Yoshi, or Garrus Vakarian) or an original generic sidekick (the village potion seller, the tutorial guide). Interact with the Legends: AI Dungeon will remember the characters mentioned in the prompt. You can easily assign Luigi to be your stealth operative or send Lydia in as your heavy tank. Set the First Target: Give the crowd a specific objective. Are you marching on Peach's Castle, hacking into the Master Chief's armor, or deleting the heroes' save files entirely?
