September Game Announcements


A Word From Your Mod Team

    Regard is building up! What would help you spend it?


This Month In Diatu

  • The Leaves Are Changing, but the Magicademy campus is an absurd place. They're changing not just color, but shapes and even sizes. Some trees launch seeds across the campus in paper-airplane-shaped leaves, while others aggressively attempt to weed out smaller competitors for their resources by dropping leaves the size of credenzas on anything nearby. A few trees burst into flame, which is apparently a totally normal thing for them, and a couple of them just wander around looking for a warmer place to plant themselves.

  • Bala-inlota Fever Sweeps the Campus as the Striking Fists ready themselves for a match against Chaos By Comprehension. Both teams have been going hard on Discovery in their practices, so this match promises to be a knock-down drag-out magical slugfest the likes of which hasn't been seen since that one unfortunate match a hundred and seven years ago when the planet's atmosphere ignited, causing bala-inlota to adopt its second-ever rule (Rule 2: "If no one on the planet is left alive at the end of the game, the loss shall go to whichever team eliminated the last person.").

  • The Caverns Beneath The Academy are still off-limits, save solely for the magical labs and other necessary places for continuing education. SERIOUSLY. PLEASE STOP GOING DOWN THERE. The faculty isn't going to beg but COME ON PEOPLE.

  • Eagulls have invaded the campus to make homes in ever-increasing numbers, possibly because someone is just decimating their numbers in the city at large. These noxious seagull/eagle hybrids are giant pests who snatch food right out of your hand and try to bully you out sight of their nests despite the fact that it's FALL, these stupid birds don't eve have any eggs now!

    This Month In Anastara

  • Fall Cleaning is a massive enterprise in Anastara, featuring as it does the canals being diverted into the streets to wash through the gutters and drains and scour out the filth that built up during the busy summer months. Take your waders, because any street you think to go down might be a river this month!

    The Colormarch

      First, let us apologize for the delay! And with no further ado:

      To the bafflement of all, Eiather has claimed victory in both June and July! They've built a commanding lead -- to catch up, you'll need to work hard! (Or sabotage them!)

      For June, Eiather students are given a specially Forged scroll. By setting an item on this scroll and speaking the word of power, they transform the item into a drawing on the scroll. Speaking a second word restores the item to its proper shape and form.

      For July, Eiather students receive a special coat that sizes itself to fit their familiar! Snazzy and stylish, this coat keeps them the perfect temperature even in the summer heat or winter cold, and protects from liquids. Congratulations!


    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. 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! Though it is possible to do many adventures solo, we intend them as opportunities for characters to mix and mingle.


    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.


    Regains

      Each character may now earn one regain per month. To do so, you need simply comment on this post with what you would like to regain, and some associated concept of your home world or canon. You may also recommend a concept that works with that, a theme for us to build off of. Conflict, for example, is always valid! Once you've received your approval and prompt, go wild with what we've given you. And of course there will be absolutely no long-term repercussions or consequences of regains! (Please pardon us a moment while we massage our jaws back into place, as they were dislocated by not malicious laughter.)


    This Month's Second Event: The Entertainment Plague

      Webby and Dewey decided to create a TV out of Sundering magic.

      For some reason, we invite you to give consideration as to what fictional characters from your own characters' canons would be hilarious temporary visitors to Ascelion.
