GAME NOTES #41: June 6th, 2021—

Act II has now come to it's conclusion as we head into the final Act!


§ schedule

Here is our current schedule:

MAIN SCHEDULE
6/06: MINI BREAK
6/12: Act 3 begins
7/04: Campaign ends; Break Begins
MOD NOTES SCHEDULE
7/05: Game Notes #42
STORY CHECK SCHEDULE
6/06: Full Check
7/05: Full Check

A few notes about the schedule. Public Registration will be made available sometime in July but a date has not been set yet as we would need to make a new TDM and figure out the theme for the next couple of months. Once that has been decided, we'll make a short announcement to update the schedule! The Break after this campaign will likely last from July to August, the usual two month length. This would mean the next campaign is likely to be in September, but things are subject to change.

STORY CHECK: 04/01 - 04/03—

Time for our...sort of monthly weird schedule Story Check! This is just the check-in version since we're on Break.


§ story check



Be sure to comment so you're not swept! The time frame is from March 1st to March 31st, but because it's just a check-in, the time frame for commenting is a little shorter with just three days. If this is your first Check, you get a freebie pass. The Check ends on April 3rd, 11:59PM CT (sooner if everyone checks in early). No proofs required, just a general comment of "I'M HERE" will do. Newly accepted players don't have to worry about this, but you can participate if you want. Anyone who does not comment will be swept!

  1. 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.


Everyone use this form to comment!

GAME NOTES #36: January 27th, 2021—

WELL. That campaign sure was. Something, wasn't it? The ending to the story is not what anyone will expect, and it seems as if it's still going. Although there will be a small reprieve after returning, the Index is far from safe. In fact it's facing its biggest crisis yet!


§ schedule

Here is our current schedule. Note that several dates may and likely change as our Head mod is currently unavailable:

MAIN SCHEDULE
02/03: “Part 2” Event Starts (Tentative)*
02/17: “Part 2” Event Ends
03/03: New TDM/Workshop; Claims Open
03/10: Public Registration Open
MOD NOTES SCHEDULE
03/03: Game Notes 37
STORY CHECK SCHEDULE
01/27: Full Story Check
02/21: Story Check-in
03/24: Story Check-in

*Event date is currently tentative due to our Head mod handling a family situation. Should there be a date change, we'll let you guys know at least before or day of the event.
The Commission Board will be postponed until March.

GAME NOTES #32: October 25, 2020—

Did everyone enjoy the Break? All our new folk settled in? We hope so because we're in for a very long campaign! A 3-parter that will take us all the way through the end of the year and into the next! It's also going to be a 2-in-1 story combo, so buckle up we're in for a wild ride.


§ schedule

Here is our current tentative schedule for the upcoming campaign. All dates are subject to change, and we may extend Acts up to a week if needed, especially since we're hitting the holiday season, but this serves as a general roadmap of what to expect:

MAIN SCHEDULE
11/01: Campaign #6 Act #1 starts
11/22: Mini Break
11/29: Act #2 starts
12/23: Mini Break
01/03: Act #3 starts
01/24: End of Campaign; Break Starts
MOD NOTES SCHEDULE
11/22: Game Notes #33
12/23: Game Notes #34
01/24: Game Notes #35
STORY CHECK SCHEDULE
10/25: Check In
11/22: Full Check
12/23: Full Check
01/24: Full Check

As mentioned above, these dates are tentative and can shift around as needed. Each Act is roughly 3 weeks, and we've scheduled the mini breaks to include the holidays as best as possible. Speaking of holidays, since this Campaign is going through the Christmas holiday, we have some ideas on how to handle interest in playing out the usual holiday fun further in the notes. Be sure to read through as we are asking for further opinions and information!

If you participated on the Commission Board, don't forget to redeem points by replying to the official information post! There's no deadline, but it's easy to forget, so consider this a friendly reminder!

GAME NOTES #30: September 9, 2020—

Whoo another campaign finished! It was a bit different compared to our previous ones, but we hope everyone enjoyed themselves. Our next campaign won't be until November so we're entering another two month break with Public Registrations occurring at the end of the month! So feel free to relax.


§ schedule

Here is our current schedule:

MAIN SCHEDULE
09/09: BREAK starts
09/17: New TDM and Workshop; Claims open
09/24: Public Registration Opens
MOD NOTES SCHEDULE
10/01: Game Notes #31
STORY CHECK SCHEDULE
09/09: Full check

As listed, we'll be posting a new TDM and Workshop around mid-September with Public Registrations opening a week before October! We are also coming up on our second year anniversary (gasp) so we'll have a little something for October detailed then.

For now, everyone can relax as the Index hits the harvest season. Since we plan on having a log later in October, there will be no general mingle log.

A new Commission Board has been posted with a few tasks for anyone to take on. These tasks will be available for the entire Break. To redeem points, be sure to reply to the official information post!

GAME NOTES #29: August 8th, 2020—

Apologies for delay and hope everyone's been having fun with the first Act! We are now able to present the details for Act II! There is also a Story Check, so be sure to comment after reading up on everything!


§ schedule

Here is our current schedule:

MAIN SCHEDULE
08/08: Mini Break
08/15: Act II starts
09/08: Campaign ends
09/09: BREAK
MOD NOTES SCHEDULE
9/09: Game Notes #30
STORY CHECK SCHEDULE
8/08: Act I Story Check
9/09: Act II Story Check

Public Registrations will open at the end of September (exact dates to be determined) with a new TDM and Workshop posted a little before it. Interested players can still use the current one without any problems. Also a quick reminder that anyone can still join the game through invitations, even in the middle of an Act.

GAME NOTES #28: June 26, 2020—

Break time is almost over and we're ready to release the details for our next campaign! However, everything is going topsy turvy so this campaign is more like half "event" and half story arc. We also have our Story Check (in) so be sure to comment and read up on everything!

§ schedule

Here is our current schedule:

MAIN SCHEDULE
07/01: Campaign #5 Act I starts
07/25: Act I ends
07/26: Mini Break
08/02: Act II starts
08/31: Campaign ends
09/01: BREAK
MOD NOTES SCHEDULE
07/29: Game Notes #29
09/01: Game Notes #30
STORY CHECK SCHEDULE
07/29: Full check
08/27: Full check

That should be everything. As always, we'll make extensions if necessary! Important to note that Public Registrations will open again at the end of September, so not immediately at the start of Break as before. Our next campaign will be end of October, so we'll have another two month break after this campaign.

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:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

§ 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, April 04 11:59PM CST:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.
