Inaugural Game Announcements
A Word From Your Mod Team
Hello and welcome to our game! We're incredibly happy to see the excitement and energy you've brought to the test drive, your applications, and the intro post. All we can do is our very best to keep that energy alive by providing you the best game we can.
When Does It Open?
The game will open tomorrow at 8PM Eastern, the same time as applications close. We will do our best to have every application processed by that point. If you need more time on your application, let us know!
Is The TDM Canon?
The prompts The Airship There and Rain, Rain may be canon if both parties involved were accepted to the game and agree to it. Thaumaturgy 101 will not occur for about a week in-game; you may declare them canon once classes begin if they aren't otherwise superseded. Bala-inlota Practice contains somewhat more magic than beginning characters should possess, and as such should not be considered canon.
This Month In Diatu
Orientation Week gives new students the chance to learn about the campus, its rules, the faculty -- everything in the information pages, essentially, if they so choose. You'll also get to experience the various receptions from staff, faculty, and other students (and also possibly ghosts, for you Ka students and Keep visitors).
Classes Begin after Orientation Week ends, and everyone will find themselves beginning their education in the magical and intellectual arts. Are you ready for school?
Bala-inlota Tryouts begin once classes are in swing. You may or may not be entered into them voluntarily; Captain Lominia is not exactly known for respecting consent when it comes to her student teams. Older students might trade or sell you the location of good places to hide from her.
This Month In Anastara
City Event: 'Say Hello To The Sundered' encourages the new students from other worlds to come experience the wonders of Anastara, from its sights to its shops to its fine buildings to its wandering canals. Forged entirely of good government intentions and lukewarm buy-in at best, the event manages to be patronizing and hopelessly naive all at once. Some people are in the spirit; most want nothing to do with the whole thing, and a few negative souls are using this to fan flames of suspicion and hostility against the Sundered. Have fun?
Adventures
As detailed on our Adventures page, you may sign up for an adventure by responding to the appropriate comment on this post. We will respond with your adventure setups in a few days. (We're waiting to see how the responses and application cycle work out this time, so we can determine an official policy on timing in the future. Bear with us, please!)
Actions
To represent characters working long-term towards a goal, you can submit up to two actions on the appropriate comment below that your character will be focusing their time towards (or one action twice). This can range from studying, to exploration, to trying to gain points for the Colormarch, to buttering up NPCs, to others. At the end of the month, once you submit AC, you will be given your results.
BBS Question!
Please give us your opinion on the following topic:
Should the BBS include all IC communications? Or should it be limited only to actual messages on the BBS, with other means of communication handled through IC inboxes?
We can't wait to see you all on the intro log. Enjoy your RP! |

At which point V is promptly singled out for proof, with a substantial bet between the two men on the line.
If V chooses to pursue this opportunity, please respond to this comment when a Better Spoon has been developed for the next stage of this adventure.

The spoon we all want a thief to try to steal...
no subject
Although the spells on the spoon are not entirely reliable, thanks to V's beginning ability with Modification and Forging, they manage to perform adequately during the demonstration. That substantial bet changes hands with the old wizard chortling.
In the crowd, however, is a diplomat from the Free City of Vjalker, who demands that V demonstrate the spoon for his embassy. Aware that it may not perform perfectly, what will V do?
With regards to your OOC addendum, we'll resolve such issues at the completion of the quest. Congratulations on passing Stage 1!

The diplomat is not particularly pleased by V's demands, but indicates that V is welcome to peruse the works they have in the library. Most of them, however, are about the Free City of Vjalker in a fairly biased tone, though there are hints of a wizard-protector in the city.
V also has two weeks to complete the spells and prepare for the demonstration.
no subject
V would make sure the spoon is ready and is as perfected and reliable as possible for the demonstration day. Classes V was supposed to attend have been sometimes skipped in pursuit of this, and classes V teraches might.... have some spoon spell related topics.
(Also, can I just say that I *LOVE* that V essentially got a negative modifier for Charisma?)
no subject
Unfortunately, V has failed the demonstration with a roll of 5 (2, +3 for efforts).
The diplomat is thoroughly unimpressed with V's spork and insists that V stop wasting his time until he has something real to show.
You may retake this adventure in a future month, beginning at this stage with a positive modifier to your roll, if you so desire.
no subject
Addendum, OOC request.
