CR Planning: July 2015

CR Planning: July 2015

Welcome to the Underground! Newbies, we're very excited to have you! As mentioned in the calendar, there will be a welcome log posted on the 19th for newbies and current players alike to mingle. However, don't feel that you can't post until then, feel free to jump in right away! In the meantime, this post is a free-for-all for everyone to make new CR and figure out how to get involved with the game.

You can use this post to:

• Discuss your character's background history with other players and make changes where needed.
• Work out shared history with canonmates and build in cross-canon CR.
• Say what kind of CR you're looking for and reply to others to offer CR.
• Say hi to the members of your faction and discuss your in-game strategy.
• Think about what territories you might want to make a claim on.

The plotting post for July is still live with a couple of prompts left to claim, so please do feel free to use it!

I also want to add a quick reminder about the HMD meme that went up a couple of days ago, and in particular my request for feedback on the game. I've had a lot of great feedback already and am very happy to hear more suggestions, whether you've just joined or you've been around since the beginning. I will be starting to make the changes discussed from this weekend onwards, and more input is always welcome.

In the meantime, happy planning!

Yeeeees, I would love that forever. And secondly, Heiji would love to listen to Maera's stories about her parents!

In general, he's always sort of had the opinion that fae/human relationships (at least the romantic ones) just don't work out very well, though of course he mostly sees it from the fae side of things. He's had a few relatives that tried it, and things Just Didn't Work Out, so I think that conversation could be really interesting. If Maera has had a more positive experience, or even a more negative one, I think that'd be cool to explore :)

He'll get an interesting viewpoint from Maera because her parents' love story was the 'legendary romance' type. They were very much in love for the years that her father was alive, and both were very supportive parents to her. So she has nothing but super, super positive things to say about fae/human relationships, at least from her experience. She's a bit naive that way, in that she's blind to the fact that fae/human relationships don't always work out as her parents' did.

Telling Heiji that will create a monster, he's a closet romantic...

...let's do it

Maera is an out-of-the-closet, gushing-all-over-the-place romantic when the topic comes up, so you know. They'll make quite the pair.
