Have at. Got a suggestion for a plot? Let us taste your creativity. This post is more centralized for in-game happenings; technical comments should go on the mod contact, though we'll accept them here all the same.
what if, once in a while, the dream-district gets unstable and something gets out into the other districts? Like RAINING FOOD or something, Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs style? :D Or something just as ridiculous?
Hi! I noticed that you guys posted an announcement that you'd be closing apps on the modplurk, but nowhere on the comms. I understand that you guys need to get your footing, since the response to this was pretty huge, but would it be possible to announce things like this on the OOC comm in the future? It seems like quite a few people missed that announcement because they didn't have the plurk friended, or don't use plurk at all.
I'd like to suggest a map, or at least more detailed setting info. IMO the game information is unclear about things like the layout of Mallow Hallow, distances between districts, how easily characters can travel between them, etc, which makes it hard to take advantage of the setting as much as players potentially could! Just knowing things like whether or not a character could, idk, take a bus from Orlea to Crystalden for an afternoon of shopping and then return home in the evening would be a big help.
Hey, yo, could we get a Wanted page for character's we'd like to see? I know I always check that page first when I'm thinking of apping someplace new, so I'm sure it would appeal to a lot of people. :3
So, I'm noticing something that seems to be holding a lot of people back in-game, my own characters included, and that's the lack of currency in-game. I feel like it eliminates a lot of possible in-game activity because there's no reason for anyone to work, or to offer their services. I'm wondering if it might stimulate more activity and allow more freedom if, by way of IC actions/events, some kind of monetary system is introduced? Just my two cents, from observing what's been going on in-game. :)
So I actually have a serious suggestion for a plot event.
Doll here is actually a Shadow. If you've played/seen Persona 4, you'll have a pretty good idea of what that is, on the surface. A better explanation, if a somewhat flowery one, is here, which is actually a bit more straightforward about Shadows than Persona 4 itself was, and is half headcanon worked out from the clues P4 drops. (The Shadows in P3 and P4 did seem a bit different, to me; this isn't talking about P3's Shadows, exactly. And Doll's from a PSL that mostly just used P4's Shadow-world place for shenanigans, so handwave, handwave.)
Anyhow, what about the appearance of a "new district" for a bit sometime? Not that it's really a new district, or at least, not a permanent one, necessarily... but I could imagine that some characters might be quite interested in a place which conforms to one's reflexive expectations and beliefs, a foggy, perhaps vaguely-menacing area where you'd need to be careful about what you expect to see coming out of the fog toward you. Astralfield is one thing; it's based on dreams, and people know to expect all sorts of strangeness there. But a place that seems to conform to visitors' suspicions, for better or for worse, taking on the forms of their fears and hopes?
(And if someone wants to cause even more drama in it, since Shadows are essentially manifest from thoughts and feelings, especially the denied ones, their own Shadow could possibly confront them. But that particular plot seems to be being brought up more commonly in RP. The focus on the fog world itself, not so much.)
Might this be something of interest, you think?
[ETA: now that it's not stupid o'clock, I was pointing out that Doll is one since I'd totally be up for offering Doll as an unwitting plot hook for this somehow; maybe it gets tangled up in some sort of troublesome magic while out exploring, which causes the Shadowsplosion thing, or some curious but naiive magic-user gets inspired on inspecting it, or... something? I should prolly mention that being one doesn't mean Doll knows everything about them. Far from it, actually.]
