Arc III Arrival (OOC)

[savmods]

Welcome to Arc III!

The dust is settling, characters have arrived in the new setting, and there's work to be done...but also the opportunity to rest. This month, characters will have the opportunity to explore their new home base and learn about the changes that await them before travel to other world resumes. Players are encouraged to use the new locations page and the arrival log's highlighted points of interest as a guide to the setting, but you are absolutely not limited to those. Along with asking any general questions you have, you are invited to use this post to ask questions regarding specific activities your character might undertake in the new setting. (Ex. "They spend two straight weeks flipping through every printed book in the library—what's the No. 1 most interesting thing they can find?") We'd like to note that some locations may undergo changes as characters explore and improve things—we will be updating as we go depending where they focus their time and attention. The Locations page, Housing page, and FAQ should be more or less up to date, but other game info pages will be expanded and spruced up in the immediate future. Please pardon our dust, and feel free to let us know if you spot anything seriously out of order! Some fun things are planned—we hope you enjoy the ride.

Chilltober: Updates and Upcoming

While things will be much calmer this month compared to the last two, a much lower-key surprise awaits characters later in October. If you would like to participate in this miniplot, please comment here to list one thing your character misses, enjoys, or would like to see from home. (Those who play multiple characters can choose one for each.) It can be an item, such as a favorite book, or it can be a concept, such as the smell of one's kitchen back home. It does not have to be from the character's canon point. However, it cannot be sentient. We're also glad to announce that the promised player plotting page is up! This form is intended to provide a more structured way of pitching plots you'd like to run or general ideas you want to suggest for possible mod-run plots. We do not intend to have a rigid schedule for player plots; their frequency will depend on the number of plots submitted and the scope of each, as well as what we have planned for mod-provided plot in a given month. Due to the combination of last minute modwork and last minute apps, processing for new arrivals is taking slightly longer than expected. Watch this comm—or our modplurk—for an update and an OOC intro post when acceptances go out! We'll be getting to that as quickly as we can; thanks very much for your patience! Finally, please remember to check in at this month's activity check!
