Sounds like a fun idea to me! I'll also be trying to get an idea of what sort of Discord-based events we'll be able to run this weekend, so expect to hear from me about this soon!potentially a movie night*? I was thinking the Giratina/Shaymin movie for the brand, but we could also do something less memetic
*potentially multiple nights/not at night given that timezones exist
I'm a little wary of once-a-month events because I think people can get tired of them pretty quickly, but if this sounds like a fun idea that people would like to try outside the context of the anniversary event, we could definitely look into bringing it back again, maybe on a repeating basis.Hmm, how about a once-a-month thing, over 12 months, to spread it out a bit? Where everyone who wants their characters to participate tosses their suggestion down, volunteer authors get together, hammer out a rough outline and a do and don'ts list, then the participating writers get paired and each author team takes a month to hammer out a section of the mother of all cross overs and it gets stitched together pre-new years or next anniversary as an overall tribute to the writing slant on the site?
It's a collaborative storytelling game. The basic premise is that each of the players is the member of a queen's retinue as they travel together to a distant land, and then people draw cards once at a time and answer the question on the card. Some example questions: "What do you do for the queen that no one else can do?" "What did you bring with you that endangers the queen?"I haven't done anything RP related since high school, and Google is only giving me results for selling this... do we have an example of how this works somewhere?
It's pretty cool, imo. Kind of magical how you start with nothing (except a picture of the queen) and then build up a coherent story together.
Here's a video that goes through a full game. Note that it does NOT take two hours to play this game, and there's a fair bit of futzing around with Roll20 at the beginning which won't be relevant. Last time we played it I believe it went about bang on half an hour, and you can adjust the game length pretty easily (so if people were really digging it and wanted to go two hours and OSJ was down for that, you could do that, but we'd probably be playing a faster game).
