We Want You!...
... to help us run a fun event this Summer!
Coinciding with Pyrith's Cycle, we will be running an expedition event May - July 2026 related to some of the mysteries of the Western Continent. In order to help engage the site for this event, we have some requests for character types / roles to be filled by member characters (detailed below).
Character Roles
We'd like folks to sign up as interested in the following character roles. If multiple active participants are interested by the time the event thread is scheduled, a random roll will be used to determine how information is parsed out to different folks, with discretion used to make sure that the maximum amount of participants are included. If there are no active participants that can fill a role by the time of the event thread, they will be filled by NPCs or staff characters, as necessary.
Roles we'd like to see member PCs in:
- 1+ Hears All
- 2+ Enhanced Telepathy Dragonkin
- 2+ Enhanced Telekinesis Dragonkin
- 2+ Healers (with at least 1 specialized Dragonhealer)
- ∞ Woodsmen, Miners, or other Outdoorsy Folks as Standidates
- ∞ Anyone else! The above roles are things we need in particular but if you want to get a character involved who isn’t any of the above, including regular candidates, riders, and weyrfolk (stands candidate or not), please still sign up!
Related NPC Tie-Ins
We are interested in utilizing background NPCs from existing characters' bios, for maximum IC drama! This will be done with respect to your preferences and views of the character and played much in the same way a tabletop DM would utilize an NPC from your character's past. Keep in mind that volunteering an NPC may mean that this NPC cannot be made a PC in the future.
Our current focus is for:
- ∞ Riders/Dragons that were lost in the Western Continent during expeditions.
Lines/Veils
In order to keep this event fun for everyone, we'll be utilizing a Lines/Veils system often used as a Safety System in Tabletop Groups. Veils are topics that will not be explored in detail (i.e. faded to black) with respect to your character. Lines are topics that will not even be referenced with respect to your character. Both Veils and Lines will be spoilered and marked with appropriate content warnings, with attention paid to make sure the event is followable for folks without having to read the spoilered text.
Here is a list of potential topics that could come up during the event:
- Death
- Disability
- Malnourishment
- Traumatic loss
- Mental illness
- Bullying
- Cannibalism
- Kidnapping
- Violence
- Disturbing / macabre imagery
- Stunted growth
- Emotional manipulation
