GAME NOTES #27: May 10, 2020—

Huzzah, we have finished our fourth campaign! And what twists and turns it took! Our public registration is also still going, with our first batch already processed and filtering in through the Player and Character intros. We are now on our big break so everyone is free to chill until the next campaign. We also have three new big features being introduced, so please read through!

§ schedule

Here is our current schedule:

MAIN SCHEDULE

5/10: BREAK

5/17: Public Registration closes

MOD NOTES SCHEDULE

June: Game Notes #28

STORY CHECK SCHEDULE

6/01: Monthly Check-in

We are now on BREAK so we can all relax and hope the Index doesn't catch on fire. For now the only heat anyone has to worry about is the summer months rolling in, bringing in warmer weather. We do have an event planned, but we're still working out the details and timing for it. As for the next campaign, it will likely begin in July and be a shorter 2-2.5 month campaign to end by early September. We have a couple of story ideas, but we are always open to suggestions!

CAMPAIGN 04: A MIDSUMMER ROSE, ACT III STORY CHECK: 05/04 - 05/09—

§ story check

The story checks are not only to help gauge player activity, but it's also to help the mods gather information and progress for the current campaign. For this story check, all players must submit proofs with the following requirements by Saturday, May 9th 11:59PM CST:

IF YOU ARE PART OF A MAIN SCENE: a link to your thread(s) with a short blurb about what's happening will be enough for the check. You don't have to provide anything additional. If you signed up for multiple, please link all scenes you were cast a major role in. Comment length doesn't matter, but continue plugging away.
ONE PROOF OR EXPRESSION OF INTEREST: a link to one thread or entry dated between March 29th and May 9th (comment length does not matter), and a small blurb describing your character's progress. If you don't have a link, then a quick "I'm still here" will do. Normally you can only do this once per campaign, but we're allowing up to two times due to current world events.

Those who were on Hiatus during the Act are of course exempt!

And that's it! Just give us a thread of activity, a short blurb of what your character has been doing, and you're good to go. Feel free to throw in anything you think is noteworthy to the campaign. If you have any questions, ask them here.

Player: Character: Character | <user name="journal"> Proof: <a href="threadorentryurl">DATE</a> Blurb: Reminder that it doesn't have to be long and can even be a sentence!

CAMPAIGN 04: A MIDSUMMER ROSE, ACT II STORY CHECK: 03/29 - 04/04—

§ story check

IF YOU ARE PART OF A MAIN SCENE: a link to your thread(s) with a short blurb about what's happening will be enough for the check. If you have yet to finish, you can use this to write out what you and your partner intend to happen so that we can use it for the next Act. If you signed up for multiple, please link all scenes you were cast a major role in. Comment length doesn't matter, but continue plugging away.
ONE PROOF OR EXPRESSION OF INTEREST: a link to one thread or entry dated between February 23 and March 28 (comment length does not matter), and a small blurb describing your character's progress. If you don't have a link, then a quick "I'm still here" will do. Because of the current state of things, we're letting those who used this last time to do so again. However, keep in mind that normally you can only do this once per campaign!

Those who are newly accepted or were on Hiatus during the Act are of course exempt!

And that's it! Just give us a thread of activity, a short blurb of what your character has been doing, and you're good to go. Feel free to throw in anything you think is noteworthy to the campaign. If you have any questions, ask them here.

GAME NOTES #24: January 18, 2020—

It's been a long stretch, but we are ready for our fourth campaign! And it's a "big" one as we mash three stories into one. It's going to be a fun ride, so be sure to read everything!

GAME NOTES #23: January 5, 2020—

BELATED HAPPY NEW YEAR'S EVERYONE. The holidays are finally over and time to start pulling everyone out of hibernation. We're announcing the premise of our next Campaign, which we've determined will start at the end of the month, so be sure to check the schedule! We will include full campaign details in our next post, and we have something else we'd like to discuss with everyone, so please give your input!

§ schedule

Here is our current schedule:

MAIN SCHEDULE

1/05: Event Finale

1/25: Campaign #4: Act I START

MOD NOTES SCHEDULE

1/18: Game Notes #24: Campaign notes

STORY CHECK SCHEDULE

1/01: December Check-in

2/01: January Check-in

Everyone will still have most of January to get in any personal threads. We have a (sort of) "player plot" featuring a dwarf run scamming ring that everyone is invited to participate in.

( Game Notes #23 )

keeperoftales

§ story check-in: 12/1 - 12/31

For our new players, this is our version of activity check, although a bit more lax, especially between campaigns like this. We're still going to do sweeps, however, so be sure to read what you have to do!

The time frame is from December 1st to December 31st. The Check ends on January 7th, 11:59PM CT, or sooner if everyone fills in quickly. Note: Starting this month, all non-campaign Story Checks will be check-in only! Newly accepted players don't have to worry about this, but you can participate if you want.

EXPRESSION OF INTEREST: Fill out the form with "I'M STILL HERE" or something to that effect so you don't get swept! You can respond even if you took the Break as its given opportunity to completely check out and focus on other things! So we just want to know if you're coming back.

If you have any questions, ask them here.

Everyone use this form to comment!

Again, new players don't have to do this, but you're welcome to do so just for fun and practice!

§ story check-in: 11/1 - 11/30

For our new players, this is our version of activity check, although a bit more lax, especially between campaigns like this. We're still going to do sweeps, however, so be sure to read what you have to do!

The time frame is from November 1st to November 30th. The Check ends on December 7th, 11:59PM CT, or sooner if everyone fills in quickly. Note: newly accepted players don't have to worry about this, but you can participate if you wanna just get a feel for things.

ONE PROOF: a link to any thread or post you made during the Break period. Comment length doesn't matter.
EXPRESSION OF INTEREST: Fill out the same form with "I'M STILL HERE" or something to that effect so you don't get swept! This option is available for those who took the Break as its given opportunity to completely check out and focus on other things! So we just want to know if you're coming back.

If you have any questions, ask them here.

Everyone use this form to comment! If you're just expressing interest to remain, put that in instead of a proof link.

Again, new players don't have to do this, but you're welcome to do so just for fun and practice!

GAME NOTES #20.5: October 16, 2019—

Thanks to everyone who commented on our recent survey about when to time our next campaign. As you'll see below, the majority of responders would prefer a January start, which should give people a chance to chill during the holidays (or work like mad, more power to you) without missing out on anything too big. Don't worry, though, we have plenty of stuff planned to take place in the Index to keep people occupied until the new year!

§ schedule

Here is our current schedule:

MAIN SCHEDULE

STORY CHECK SCHEDULE

11/01: Monthly Check-in

~12/01: Monthly Check-in

As you can see, we've got a Halloween Event lined up in roughly two weeks to celebrate the spooky time of year, our new players and characters, AND our game's one year anniversary! (WOOT!) As for the December event… that's a secret for now~

In the meantime, our story checks will run on a monthly schedule and be more relaxed than in a campaign, either a single proof of participation or a simple check-in, whichever you can do. Feel free to give us a heads up on the hiatus page here if you need to take even more of a break or you think you might miss a check-in!

And that's all for now! If you have any questions, feel free to comment to the post.

CONGRATULATIONS EVERYONE!!! We have completed our third story campaign, and boy oh boy was this a roller coaster that went completely off the rails and into space.

Hey guys! The next

enablemeplz should be going up next Saturday, and since we'll opening the game up for public registration and have our TDM next month, we thought why not actually post to it this time!

So to prepare for it, we'd like for everyone to comment to this post with castmates you'd like to have!

Alternatively, you can use this post to try and list out other casts you'd like to see or think would be interesting to have in game! Perhaps you have friends or even yourself thinking about a character and want to gauge receptiveness before hitting the Workshop. So feel free to share this with other people!

Reminder that we do have a 6-character cast cap!

Whoo it's already July. How time flies, eh? This is a fairly short announcement, but it covers the (tentative) plans for our upcoming campaign! Should everything sound good to everyone in terms of scheduling, then we'll start sign-ups and get ready for fun.

In other quick news, everyone commented to our Story Check! So no changes in terms of our roster, huzzah!

7/14: Campaign #03 Act I Start

8/18: Act II Start

9/08: Act II ends

MOD NOTES SCHEDULE

7/07 - #17: Act I sign-ups

8/12 - #18: Act II sign-ups

9/09 - #16: Act III sign-ups

STORY CHECK SCHEDULE

End of each Act

Yeep we got a larger story this time around, and each Act is currently set up to be 3-4 weeks long, with Act I as the longest. Of course we can always shorten or extend them depending on how progress is going, so this is just a general idea of what we're looking at. So far we've found that allotting a month has worked fairly well for everyone's threading speeds, and since July is an "in and out" month for several people, hopefully starting in mid-month and extending the first Act a little longer will help.

There is roughly one week break in-between each Act, mostly to deal with sign-ups and to let others continue and/or wrap up threads before the next Act. Of course no one has to finish before the end of the Act and everyone has the entire campaign to wrap things up.

The big break will be in October at the end of the campaign and as for the next campaign... It's going to hit the holiday season so we'll figure out scheduling with everyone, see how people feel after this one. Worst case is it won't be until January, but we're a small, slow, chill game that's half sandbox for a reason.

Now that's all for the basic scheduling, continue on for some more details on the campaign itself!

( Game Notes #16 )

STORY CHECK: 6/1 - 6/30—

Time for our...sort of monthly weird schedule Story Check! This is just the check-in version since we're on Break. But we do have a special question because we're aware of a certain popular MMO has released an expac, as well as general "July is a summer month" deal, so just making sure who all we have. We have our next campaign ready to go, but we can delay starting it depending on our numbers.

§ story check

Be sure to comment so you're not swept! The Check ends on July 1st, 11:59PM CT (sooner if everyone checks in early). No proofs required, just a general comment of "I'M HERE" will do. EXTRA! Because of weird summer stuff and the campaign almost upon us, we want to be sure of general availability of players. If a lot of players are going to be gone for a long stretch, then we can work around it, but if it's just like three people then we'll proceed as normal.

EXPRESSION OF INTEREST: Fill out the same form with "I'M STILL HERE" or something to that effect so you don't get swept! This option is available for those who took the Break as its given opportunity to completely check out and focus on other things! So we just want to know if you're coming back.
AVAILABILITY: Are you going to be gone for a long stretch of time during July and/or August (like over 2 weeks)? If so, let us know how long and what time period!

If you have any questions, ask them here.

Everyone use this form to comment!
