Discord Assignment the 4th - Week 4
Added 2021-11-12 22:31:56 +0000 UTCQuick one of these to officially advance this along before I dive back into the update.
This is going to be basically a paraphrase of what's already been posted on the discord.
The top three were NO SLEEP, NO DREAMS, TOMB OF THE NEKODANCER, and ROCKER “VAMPIRES” (I won't say where my one that I snuck in for personal amusement did, but let's just say it didn't do very well :D )
For those that need a refresher:
- NO SLEEP, NO DREAMS :
You've not slept for 4 days.
You are getting more and more erratic. You are making mistakes. People have started noticing, talking. But they don't know. They don't know what you see when you close your eyes. You heard about a fixer in the forest. You gotta go soon.
You've not slept for 5 days.
- TOMB OF THE NEKODANCER :
Someone got the bright idea to try and make a village in the big spooky trees and not be an elf at the same time Something something blight gets involved, maybe they cracked open a tomb of the nekodancer, maybe they started squatting in a whorelock's testing site, who knows Regardless, they've been put to sleep for the blightification process to go underway. The process hits different from person to person, which should open up some success/fail/crit/disaster options
- ROCKER “VAMPIRES” :
There's a festival going on in an old farm town deep in the forest. Have fun, see the sights, maybe see the concert with 3 totally real™️ rocker goth vampire chicks (who definitely aren't 3 different flavors of elf)! There's an otherwise normal looking human author in town who seeks inspiration for their next book. Maybe you could find them a muse or an object to help them out? They sure seem nice and soothing, and very persuasive... The festival seems to revolve around the town's freedom from an old evil witch, who swore she'd cursed the town upon her death! Surely it's all just superstitious conjecture, right? Some people recently dug up a large old leather tome in the town square, but no one can seem to open it. What secrets does it hold, and why does it seem to look different to you in the pale moonlight?
Now starts the process, where the people on the discord take each of the winning prompts and start tinkering with it together! Things like potential rewards, some story hooks, traits that'll be good for it, risk levels - you name it, and it's meant to be discussed. We'll do this through the thread system discord implemented a while ago, to keep the three prompts nicely separate to keep things overseeable. And one stipulation: if one of your prompts is among the winners, we'd like to challenge you to tinker with one of the other two prompts for a while before you join in the discussion about your own! Depending on the level of engagement and whether or not we'll either get mutually exclusive ideas or ideas that people just have strong mixed feelings about, we might do flash polls in the appropriate channel that last 1-2 days each.
The threads literally went up as I was typing these so enjoy!
