Also, I haven’t read Alcatraz, but in theory it’ll end up fine…………..? YOU SHOULD READ ALCATRAZ! Just the first book should be enough, and the book is fairly short all things considered 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death. Without a chance. In the actual books, their is literally a lighting strike designed to kill people. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmilingPanda19 Hi/Ho Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 52 minutes ago, Lightweaver2 said: And also more than half usually die within the first 72 hours. Very true. We usually avoid a bloodbath so people enjoy the games more, we have taken to avoiding early death for the purpose of letting people get excited and choosing when it’s the right time for their character arc to end. We rarely find ourselves making it so the characters have zero chance of survival with zero reason for implementing the action. It is rarely our choice for the character to die. We simply play it is as if the game makers had the characters fate in their hands at all times, which we could, but we do no abuse our power. that’s part of the reason there is no real prize for winning, so people come for the role play and the story, not the win or the prize. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh the real prize is completing your character arcs or doing what you wanted to do (Hence why I think having a leaderboard is a bit... Strange given the circumstances) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J. Magi she/her Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 M'kay so I have a question . . . you guys are currently doing the district thing right? The beginning of each one has numbers for the districts that became each quarter, but I haven't read the books so I don't know what the numbers mean. Would anyone be able to give me a quick idea of the condition of each quarter? if not I'll just try and google stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyalBeeMage he/him Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 i've kind of been ignoreing the quarter numbers as i don't think they matter at this point. if you want a basic condition the first post in every district will have all the info you should need i think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you read Alcatraz? If you haven't, I highly recommend reading it (at least the first book), since it has the best examples of what a smedry talent is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Stormfather He/Him Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 I haven't looked into the district specific threads. Do I need to or can I just leave the district of my character to be decided as whichever one fits best, since where he comes from has basically 0 relevance? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also look at the district threads, Panda’s original posts explain quite a bit about the overall world, and there should be a thread about the GM’s coming whenever @SmilingPanda19 does that (no pressure my dear) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
