✽ GAME CALENDAR & PLAYER PLOTS | ||
Event Suggestions • Does your character want to cause some mischief and mayhem? • Do they want to host the party of the season? • Would they like to mark a special event from their own universe and share it with everyone? Here is where you can suggest plots and events that you'd like to see happen in game! These can be either character-triggered (like Bob and Sam accidentally release a genie who terrorizes the city with spiteful bad luck wishes!) or be a general effect or happening you'd like to come up (like characters temporarily lose their memories or get fake ones!). If you have a character or an idea that would help facilitate whichever outcome you're going for, let us know! We'd love to work with players to involve PCs in all the shenanigans that we get up to. But if you can't come up with a feasible way to execute the plan, never fear-- we can pin an awful lot on the fickle Dreaming plane to make it work. Submitting A Plot/Event To suggest an event, copy and complete the below form and post it in a comment on this page. The mods will discuss the details and get back to you regarding your idea, or let you know if we need more information. For events which are time-sensitive (for example, a festival wanting to be held on a particular date or holiday), please try to give the mods at least ONE WEEK lead time. Our modteam is stretched across multiple timezones, so sometimes it takes us a couple days to get everyone's input. If you've chosen to have your character be the facilitator of an event, the plot becomes your responsibility to organize during the time period assigned. This consists of providing an OOC planning post with details a few days prior to the event, and an in-character log (if applicable). |
Childhood Daydreams Plot
Instigating Character/Incident:
The Dreaming, inspired by the memories and nostalgia of those who visited during the festival (4th Wall), has returned several of the Dreamfolk to the age in which those memories occured.
Event Outline:
Some of the Dreamfolk revert back to their childhood days. Many don’t remember anything that comes after their ‘current’ age, though they do know where they are through some Dreaming Shenanigans, but several are just freaked out by being smaller than they used to be. Thankfully, not everyone is affected, some of the ‘older’ Dreamfolk are left to wrangle the young ones who are now running amok. Powers remain intact, though just how those abilities are used may not be known. Those who have lost memories may still retain information of Aifaran, such as faces, names and associated thoughts and feelings.
In Short: Some of the Dreamfolk shrink to their younger selves, with optional memory loss, and are free to roam the city, while the remaining Dreamfolk and natives are left to wonder when this will end, or if it even will.
Areas Affected:
The city of Aifaran, limited to Dreamfolk.
Long-Term Impact:
Aside from a few good laughs and some frazzled people who are not used to babysitting now having that skill, there is little impact to the city.
Suggested Duration & Dates:
August 3-10

Shards of Caladbolg
Player Name: Ashley
Instigating Character/Incident: After recovering the broken Caladbolg in November, Trahearn asks for help in tracking down the other pieces of the sword, which have started popping up around Aifaran.
Event Outline: This event will have both IC posts and an OOC signup sheet. I'll be giving each person that signs up a particular location where they find a shard, and then (optionally) DM them through the process of acquiring it. This event is flexible for threading/no threading, allowing small groups, and will possibly continue into January depending on the schedules of everyone involved.
Areas Affected: Within Aifaran city specifically
Long-Term Impact: Little to none. I'm assuming no one's going to cause too much chaos in their search.
Suggested Duration & Dates: Throughout December
(no subject)
Fairy Tales
Instigating Character/Incident: The Dreaming messes with the damaged library and unleashes Fairy Tales upon the city, Fairy Tales that the Dreamfolk inadvertently play out, even if they become aware that something is off. (Which would make it even more fun).
Event Outline:
An event in which players can choose which fairy tales their characters will play out and which version is played out, be it Grimms, Disney or some other tradition. I will post a sign up where people can claim characters storylines so we don't have repeats.
Areas Affected: The Dreamfolk in Aifaran
Long-Term Impact: Reaffirmation that the Dreamfolk are weird, otherwise it's pretty harmless. (Though with this bunch, that might be debatable.)
Suggested Duration & Dates: February 11th-14th

Instigating Character/Incident:
Tony is a nosy bitch.With the fate of Cape Averi still unknown and the mysterious magical/Dreaming shenanigans in the city escalating, Tony figures it's time to take matters into his own hands and do some good old fashioned snooping. Whatever happened at Cape Averi might not be related to whatever's going on with the weird ships and the weird noise, but maybe getting out of the city will get him away from that godforsaken mystical foghorn. Or maybe not. Either way, he needs a distraction.Event Outline: Tony flies out to Cape Averi to investigate why the settlement went radio-silent. He will probably get in trouble. Other people can come along, if they would also like to get in trouble.
Areas Affected: Cape Averi
Long-Term Impact: it is a mystery
Suggested Duration & Dates: Midway through the month, after the longest period of the mystery noise causes him to have A Very Bad Day
