January Game Announcements

January Game Announcements A Word From Your Mod Team Happy new year! What would you like to see in Diatu in this upcoming year? This Month In Diatu Absolutely Terrible Weather heralds in the coldest month of the year, and we do mean COLDEST, regularly clocking in negative-double-digits. Turns out sometimes a floating island has its downsides. Worse yet -- whether because of some quirk of being Sundered or simply the magic-charged air in Diatu, the weather has robbed each and every one of you of that magical power of being completely immune to cold no matter how ridiculous your outfits just because the animators didn't want to make up a whole new model for you. If you don't wear a shirt or your clothes are stylishly thin or your coat inexplicably hovers about two feet away from your body at all time, you'll be a sad, sad character! Arcade Arms, renowned magical armory, has received permission to set up a small shop in the Great Hall, the faculty of Diatu Magicademy having finally thrown up their hands and acknowledged that most of you are going to carry around weapons no matter what they do so they might as well ensure you at least have the chance to get some from a reputed buyer. If you're looking for arms and armor, now's your chance to spend some of that money that's been burning a hole in your pocket thanks to that rogue Currency Combustion spell that went off in the hallway the other day. The Caverns Beneath The Academy are chock-full of the undead, so that's a thing that's happening. The Play's the Thing for drama-minded students, who count on these cold months to pack audiences into amply-warmed theaters to see their productions. From fine masterpieces performed as faithfully as possible to one-man shows and improv performances to those plays like we all wrote back in high school and hope to the Five Gods will never see the light of day again, you can find any performance to suit your tastes here. Or possibly work! Maybe a desperate student needs your mastery of Fantastics to complete their magnum opus, or maybe they just need you to pull on this or that curtain rope at the right time. But hey, you live for the theater, right? This Month In Anastara I Really Must Go, but baby it's cold! Anastara is supported by magics in many respect, but even spells have their limits, and these frigid temperatures stretch them to the breaking point! Look for it and there's money to be made supplying heat to the city, whether it be shops or the docks or fancy houses or maybe even charity work for the less fortunate. Upcoming Events This month features holiday disasters, courtesy of Spyro and featuring special guest Ire! But surely his presence in the city will have no repercussions whatsoever, right? Adventures TEST RUN FOR SOMETHING NEW: Want an adventure but aren't sure what? Rather than pick from our Adventures page, simply respond to the thread on this post with a word or brief phrase and an adventure category (e.g. short, dangerous, ridiculous) and we will come up with an adventure for you using that as inspiration! As always, 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. You may undertake a new adventure this month even if you are still in an adventure from previous months. We also want to encourage everyone to involve others in your adventures! Our efforts at running purely solo adventures have ultimately not worked out well, so we want to emphasize their role in building CR and engaging in plot or silliness. Gimme An Answer Replacing most other options, Gimme An Answer is your place to communicate with the mod team if you want any sort of results from us. Actions, for example, now fall under here, as do regains, questions, or whatever you've got, really.

Adventures

[temptationaccomplished]

Aziraphale and Crowley would like to do Question of Belief (since I think we agreed "pub crawl" sounds like a dangerous concoction for the ineffables after the tea party)--or, idk, also open to suggestions!

Gimme An Answer

The Caverns

[temptationaccomplished]

(Mostly out of sheer player curiosity, not because the angel has any intentions of vanquishing anything)
What sort of undead? Are they hostile?

[magicademymods]

Mostly weird spectres and wraiths, the noncorporeal kind. They're not hostile but their presence alone is inimical, so watch for that.

Rituals & Summoning Circles

[puzzlers]

Yugi had been doing research on rituals and summoning circles! and I kind of dropped the ball last month, so I was wondering if I could pick that back up and have him look into that some more.
