Opening Game Announcements

Opening Game Announcements A Word From Your Mod Team Well, surprise to us! We didn't expect to turn over 25 applications in 25 hours, yet here we are! To our new characters, welcome back! To our returning characters, why the heck is Valhudor so overrepresented among you When Does It Open? NOW. We'll have an actual event log in the beginning of August proper, but if you want to start making open posts or getting into trouble, go for it! Is The TDM Canon? Absolutely, if you want it to be. This Month In Diatu Hail becomes a concern around this time, thanks to some peculiarity of air currents and ocean evaporation up here on the floating island. Luckily, hailstorms are brief when they appear, but inevitably sudden and fierce for their short lives. Woe be unto the student who fails to protect themselves with a suitable shield when they spend any time out of doors! Professor Ire has been the victim of mean-spirited but harmless pranks that truly represent just how harmless he is, considering the capabilities he surely has to address such pranking. In fact, the student body seems to be very slowly coalescing into pro-Ire and anti-Ire factions. 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 A Sphinx In Training has set up shop down by the docks, laying out on a large comfortable rug and challenging passers-by to riddle contests. None of the riddles are terribly original; the Sphinx explains she is more interested in studying the body language of her victims than in defeating them. She also promises she won't eat you if you get the riddles wrong, and thus far, no one has appeared to claim she has eaten them. On the other hand, she occasionally veers out of the acceptable sorts of riddles to launch scavenger hunts and quirky challenges, in order to see just what people will do under the guise of a riddle contest. 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 as time and creative energy allow. We can't wait to see you all subject yourselves to our whims WE MEAN start playing in our completely harmless and not-character-scarring game. Enjoy your RP!

I'd like to put Seto through Enchanted Eveningwear. I need to see what that's about.

[mal_contented]

Want a Mal for that? Thanks to Evie she's used to fashion that differs from her own leather and spikes ensemble.

[magicademymods]

One fine morning, Seto's familiar delivers to him a package marked "Anastara War Games Association". Should he open it, inside is an absolutely fantastic white coat! It has deep pockets on the outside, shallow ones on the inside the perfect size for a deck, and an enchantment that makes it billow out from his legs dramatically at all times!

Unfortunately, once he puts it on, it immediately collapses into a radiant blue ballgown. On the plus side, it flatters his figure immensely; on the minus, he really doesn't have the chest to fill it out. We recommend stuffing.

Naturally, the dress is cursed and cannot be removed easily, and if other clothing is worn over it, it itches fiercely. Good luck!

[magicademymods]

In accordance with our new handling of adventures, we'd like to ask: would you prefer High, Medium, or Low mod involvement with this adventure as of now?

[protectiveink]

Please send Rosh on Pub Crawl. I'm certain she'll regret nothing.

[whose_son_am_i]

Loki will happily go with her. There's no way this'll go badly.

[magicademymods]

The challenge is simple: traverse ten pubs in one hour, enjoying three drinks at each one.

It IS possible. It has been done. But only rarely. Students tell of their efforts to plot out the perfect route, planning their venture down to the microsecond, only to have a slow bartender or a stray cat in an alley cost them precious moments. Wizards have attempted to shoot through the challenge with the aid of their spells, which turns out exactly how you'd expect once they're about nine drinks in.

But the reward? A free drink a night at every pub you visit, fame in Anastara, and a not-insignificant purse of money...

[magicademymods]

We believe you've already hit this adventure hard and fast, but if you would like additional mod involvement, please let us know here!

Presuming this goes here.

[whose_son_am_i]

Loki is all over that Riddle Contest. (He'll also be looking to purchase some daggers and a staff--preferably with one end pointy.)

[magicademymods]

"In all my years, never have I seen the breath of a flower," the Sphinx says, watching you closely. In other words, bring her that to solve her alleged riddle.

Good luck? What the heck is that, even?

[magicademymods]

Although we're not certain what more we can do for a simple riddle, nonetheless if you want additional mod involvement or to let us know when the adventure is completed, please reply here!

Re: Adventures

[mal_contented]

Mal for No one likes the Sundered, please.

And Sho for Trouble with Trickles.

Pretty sure I never did either of those with my kids last go round.

[magicademymods]

Mal:

Rumors have spread, half-accurate and cruel: the Sundered are the tools of a dragon! They're here to enslave us all! They have three heads and breathe fire!

So there you are, one night in Anastara, with a mob on your trail. They have pitchforks, torches, a sponsorship from Anastara Riots and Social Upheaval Co., and enough alcohol in them to make them forget that the alleged fire-breathing thing would turn out badly for them if true. Can you and your companions escape?

Sho:

A trickle of water is following you. Across campus, sloshing through the grass or trailing down the paths. Into your room, dampening your floor and soaking your socks. Into class, getting you into no small amount of trouble. Whatever you do and wherever you go, there it is, ruining your day. Looks like you've got some work to do to figure this one out!

[smilingarmor]

Let's try Stop In the Name of Love with Sylv. XD

[phoenixwiz]

Putting Harry up for Mistaken Identity

[serpentinthegarden]

I would like to sign Crowley up for 'Panic At The Fresco' cause it sounds artsy.

[ronstadt]

I feel I would be remiss not to sign this one up for "Ghosts, Buster"

Adventures

[king_of_egypt]

Signing Atem up for "The Long Long Line"

Re: Adventures

[bearshermark]

I'd like 'A Question of Belief' for 300 unnamed units, please!

A Sphinx In Training

[king_of_egypt]

I mean.. I see a sphinx and I have to be intrigued. Is there still time to get in on this or did I mess it up?

[holdyourhorns]

"All That Glistens" seems like something Spyro would get roped into!

[ronstadt]

Regarding the TDM: Is the fate of the privy prankster predetermined or, perhaps, could players persuade them to pack in their perfidy?

sorry, I was reading Della's item description and thinking of someone else I play ... XD

[magicademymods]

Pursue play that pleases. Prescriptions and proscriptions prove perilous; player proactivity is the professional proprietors' platitude.
