Monthly Plotting Post | May

Howdy gang, happy July! Sorry for missing the June plotting post, I'd been pretty sick last month and the heat's had me down, but I am slowly chugging back to life.

Special thanks to Kalineh and Meghan for helping me work on the concepts for the main events for July and August, and to Harvey for putting out this super fun mini event for this month! We're taking a short intermission still from the heavier plot stuff while I get my roll back, but we have some cool treats for you planned in the meantime, so stay tuned!

ALSO, don't forget to mark down whatever goodies you want to get at the Summer Flea Market! That stays open till August and I know y'all want some stuff to make this island weirder.

SUMMER TDM

June thru August

Round 2 of the Summer TDM begins! If you had a character do the treasure dive last month, you can now have the same character play again! You'll also get one more go in August. Also, reminder that while you don't need to actually thread out the obtaining of Pokemon if you don't want to, you should decide if you want any of this season's selection before the end of August. Thanks!

JULY MINI EVENT - Branching Out

July 6th

Thanks to numerous donations, the Autumn Leaves Dormitory House is getting an upgrade. Which means the kids are getting a camping excursion while renovations on their home are underway! And Mr. Pennyburrow is going to need all the help he can get. Guard the youngsters from pesky forest monsters like Brutoks and the River Walker, chase crabs out of the campsite, help to organize activities like skill classes and games, and keep the kiddos out of trouble! There's also a lot of cooking to do to keep these hungry campers fed. Who's ready for spooky summer camp?

JULY MAIN EVENT - Cirque du Fae

July 19th

This event is still in the works, which means I get to do one of my favorite things, which is open the floor to you all for suggestions!

Toward mid July, the fairy courts of Pumpkin Hollow will be gathering their best and brightest to put on a magical performance for the town. But this is no ordinary three-ring circus. It is a show of whimsy and terror, magic and mystery. Fairies, after all, don't play by our rules.

So far the structure that I'm planning is going to be a large tent full of multiple performance stages and other attractions, such as fun houses and "freak" shows and the like, some of which are pure fun and wonder, others of which are tricks and traps full of genuine danger, all with a nature/fae spin. There'll also be sort of a renaissance faire type campus around the tent. I don't have a ton of specifics hammered out just yet because life has been so crazy, but I did have a few concepts in mind, including something to do with carnivorous mushrooms, fortune telling by Amarantha, and some kind of nightmare funhouse. I plan on taking inspo from the Devil's Carnival! More details as they develop, but please feel free to leave ideas in my suggestion box below <3

CURRENT METAPLOT

Currently we're taking a short break from overarching metaplot developments! However, the current plan is to move into the fall of Eligos as our Halloween event this year. So stay tuned! As with the opera, I will probably make that a two-monther and let that bleed into November. Then we will most likely take down Aster in the spring time and move into our pre-endgame stage around our third anniversary!

(Also, if you thought Aster would be the end of this, you got a big surprise on the way, bwahahahaha.)

Which brings me to my last point for this month's meta plot discussion. As mentioned in the SOTG post, we're considering doing an OOC reveal of Nyarlathotep's true identity prior to the IC reveal, similarly to Dahlia. Is this something that people would want? Let me know! We can also tell people on a voluntary basis, so that those who want to keep the surprise can. We have a side-server for people who are aware of the info to shout about it, which we can continue to use.

Also, since we have a crop of new people, I thought that a link to our Lore Document would be helpful! It could use a bit of updating but has most of the relevant info to help folks get caught up, so check it out when you have time!
