Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
One of your primary party members is Balthios, octoroon (that is, one-eighth black) grandson of LeBron James.
Oh, and Charles Barkley accidentally caused the apocalypse cyberpocalypse by unleashing a forbidden basketball dunk.
Bill Cosby was once a scientist working to develop the ultimate basketball before accidentally being cursed to haunt the land as the Ghost Dad (from the movie Ghost Dad) and looked like a black Sephiroth when alive.
Oh, and Charles has it bad for old flame Juwanna Mann.
Likewise, Neo New York and Balthios are NOT from X-caliber 2047.
Balthios is a were-duergar, who transforms into a treasure-thieving madman on the arbitrary date of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. This has no connection to the plot at all.
The world worships Clispaeth, AKA Crispis Attucks, the first man to be killed in the Boston Massacre.
Development Hell: A full four years after the game's release passed before news of the sequel surfaced.
The original idea came from seeing the name "Barkley Shut Up and Jam" and thinking putting "Gaiden" at the end would sound really cool.
Exactly two Pump Rants weren't written by him. One was by a guy who played the demo and thought the rants were serious. The other was written by a friendof his who took almost all of it from a post on SA. (Boyardee did not know of SA at the time).
The idea of the rants being from Truck Pumps came from one of the other programmers having once gone by the name of "Turkpimp". A running gag in some games they made involved him, and over time, it devolved into "Truck Pump".
The poem sidequest stemmed from an experience where a rather wretched girl cried after being told by Chef Boyardee that he wouldn't take her to the prom.
The idea of Zalatar the turkey came from a fake story he posted on a Furry Fandom website about having been a punchbag for bullies and finding his true calling by being the Turkey in a thanksgiving day parade.
The hobo Barkley can talk to in Proto Neo New York is based off a man who co-created This game (The other creators being GZ, the one who did the programming, and Konix, who did some of the graphics).
