plotting post
Time for a plotting post! Remember it's fine to simply brainstorm general CR and ideas with others, no need to have a big solid plot already planned out. If you're not sure how to start, you may fill out the form!

Both Resident & Traveler players may participate! Just keep in mind there'll be more flexibility when it comes to Residents than Travelers.

For individual characters:

Player's name: Character's name: Any specific CR you'd like to build? (if relevant) Any specific plot you'd like to play out? (if relevant) Are there any types of characters you'd need to play this out? (if relevant - if you'd like your character to start training on using swords, you'd request warrior types who might be able to teach them)

For general plots:

Player's name: Any specific plot you'd like to play out? (can be involving your characters right away, such as one of them deciding to go on a killing spree; or a general idea, such as "i'd love to have a blizzard event soon") Are there any types of characters you'd need to play this out? (if relevant: do you need any specific characters, such as victims for a killing spree?)

Upcoming general events:
(as in, plots planned by moderation or by players which would affect everyone in a big plot - such as invasions, themed festivities, or any kind of major event, usually lasting multiple posts or one big one)
- N/A

Upcoming individual events:
(as in, smaller events or plots ran by a single character/player or a few of them, usually lasting a single post - maybe a party somewhere, or a group meeting for training, or a cast planning a canon update all at once)
- N/A

* * *

¡Hora de un post de planes! Recuerden que está bien simplemente rebotar ideas para CR general con otros, no hace falta tener un gran plot prearmado ni nada. Si no saben bien por dónde empezar, pueden usar los ejemplos de formato a continuación.

Pueden participar tanto jugadores de Residentes como de Viajeros. Sólo consideren que habrá más flexibilidad y consideración a quienes juegan Residentes.

Para personajes individuales:

Para plots generales:

Eventos generales próximos:
(es decir, eventos planeados por la moderación o por jugadores que afectarían a todos a gran escala - como invasiones, fiestas temáticas, o cualquier tipo de evento grande, generalmente abarcando varios posts o uno grande)
- N/A

Eventos individuales próximos:
(es decir, eventos más pequeños manejados por un solo jugadorx/personaje, o unos pocos, generalmente siendo de un post solo - tal vez una fiesta en algún lado, un grupo que se encuentra para entrenar, un cast que planea hacer un update todos juntos)
- N/A

halloween event???

Alright, aside from finishing everything, my main concern rn is planning out a Halloween Event! Last year in my old game we did a big vampire AU as we were completely high on IWTV, but it'd be boring to repeat it just now, so I'm thinking something more local - a spooky event of some sort, some invasion, maybe even just costume parties where the outfit influences you, or something silly like that.

Okay, más allá de terminar las cosas que faltan, mi principal meta es armar un evento de Halloween! El último año en mi juego anterior hicimos un AU de vampiros porque estábamos completamente high en IWTV, pero sería aburrido repetirlo ya tan pronto. Así que pensaba algo más local - algún evento creepy, invasión, o tal vez una fiesta de disfraces donde los trajes te influencien, o alguna tontería por el estilo.

	hmm i think an invation would be a cool excuse to give the charms a test run! also i love hurting my characters ngl (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ohh, very good point! Though I think it'd depend on whether we've had the main CR for both our charas arrived yet or not? Drama without the main people to react to is significantly less fun Then again I'm aiming for, obviously, the end of October with this, so I think we have plenty of time!

	you're absolutely right on that front. maybe we could have it as a tentative plan and more around mid october see if we can pull it off or have it later when there's more characters around?? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Ngl I love the idea of something sort of half-invasion style but also creepy costume-y. Travelers/NPC travelers and residents alike getting masks like it's a festival, but also dangerous evil specters wear them too without people knowing. And those can even look like it's someone you recognize or seem to recognize under the mask to lure people in.

(Okay this account aside, mask can also be a placeholder thing, could be just "costume" overall too for the full get out feel.)

Ohh, that's evil, I like it.

Maybe something like hmmm

> festival but OUTSIDE the locations (to try out the system of, an even that happens while the world connects to another, meaning we'd move people outside temporarily/partially)

> spooky festival shenanigans but looks chill! like the pokemon scarvio DLC, you just do masks and decorations it's fun yay

> except it's not as fun when some of those are monsters - perhaps intending to leech off vital energy (like overabusing a magical charm? and simultaneously making it complicated to use for protection if you get weakened), or flat-out attack you, or both

	tenniest self-edit: i say OUTSIDE the locations but it'd be a bit of a mix - the main fun'd be there in the Special Spoopy Location that shows up for this event alone, but the visitor creepsters could and would definitely leak into the world itself, so they'd be sneakier, mixing with regular Travelers and all (Reply to this) (Parent)

Yess outdoor locations sounds perfect! There could be all these lanterns/decorations/pumpkins and such extending to the different outside areas and some of the paths for the celebration, people get quests to travel to some open areas around the map to help decorate (it's definitely not a creepy ritual site relax!!) or stronger characters tasked to help bring others along in the evenings for anyone worried of traveling alone, etc etc.

Both works as far as the intent imo - people's inherent energy being the primary goal suits the setting, but some creatures could be more outright attack upon encounter types :>b
