State of the Game!
I. September-October Jaunt Vote
It’s that time again. The choices for the next jaunt are as follows:
Emodriver Frame Phileon: Earth stands accused of a terrible crime, beset by the forces of the Aurigan Empire! The only advantage the Earth Defense Forces have is the Expression Virus, which allows them to channel emotions - and their new mecha weapons drawing on it, the Emodriver Frames! But who benefits from this terrible war? Set in the far future of Doki Doki no Gakuen’s world, but requires no previous Doki knowledge. (Jaunt proposal by Bliss.)
Gransalis Abbey: For well over a hundred seasons, a population of small woodland rodents have been living in the quasi-religious community of Gransalis Abbey, founded by the brave visionary (and puzzle fiend) known only as the Warrior Rat. Now, however, a roving band of carnivores seeks refuge in the Abbey and are willing to go to war against its present inhabitants to ensure their place there. Meanwhile, a meddlesome ghost does its best to ward off disaster. (Jaunt proposal by bii.)
Slivers & Shards: A generation ago the Umbrian Protectorate splintered. For generations the Protectorate Overmind psionically directed irrigation on the dying world, enforced the peace with rightthink, defended against the subterranean Nation-Eaters, psionic kaiju that had devoured civilizations centuries ago, when the world ended.
Without the Protectorate, Wild Talents have banded together and created new polistates, miniature nations prizing freedom, fighting for resources, and discovering new powers and old customs that may create the seeds of a new world in the dying soil of this one. But the Nation-Eaters have evolved as well… shrunk, like their prey has… and now packs of sleek crystalline psychic predators are devouring the remains of the world, one city-state at a time.
This jaunt contains a heavy emphasis on psychic skills, and strong elements of survival horror. (Jaunt proposal by Matt.)
Voting will close August 26th, with a walkabout vote to follow pending interest.
II. The Final Skill Rollout: Input Needed!
As we sat down to discuss things that might be good for our last new skill rollout - and we do have a few notes saved from previous player suggestions - it occurred to us that we’re missing a vital piece: Your input.
What kinds of things would you like to see in our last selection of new skills? What possibilities have your characters chewed over that we might be able to make a reality? While we cannot and do not promise that all suggestions will make it into the final rollout, no possibility is too outlandish to suggest, at this point, so hit us with every wild idea you’ve got and we’ll see what we can do with them.
III. Synodiporia’s Final Fourth Wall
When we announced the approach of Syn’s endgame, we mentioned that we did want to throw one last fourth-wall event before we close apps for good. That will take place following the September-October jaunt!
IV. New/Old Business
Old concerns we’ve forgotten about? Something new you’d like to address? Let us know in the comments!
