⚔︎ LITTLE LOVE - Is surprisingly free of chaos, though how long that will last is anyone's guess. Rumor has it that ancient technology underneath the farmers fields has reactivated, as it is wont to do, except this time it doesn't show any signs of turning off. Investigating may be a good idea.

⚔︎ CENTRAL CITY - The politicians in the city are ravenous for this new, supernatural chaos - it gives them a new topic to built a pointless platform about. The problem is - these supernatural problems need supernatural solutions. Now is the time to buddy up with metahumans... or become them. Another drug is being passed out on the streets, a promise that anyone can become a meta if they try it.

⚔︎ SUNSET FALLS - It is Eros' month! The White Hearts festival is in full swing! Love is in the air, and those within city limits will find it difficult to hide their love. They may even yearn for new love. Now is the time to ask that special someone out.

⚔︎ EXCELSIOR - With the powers from the sky being decidedly supernatural in nature, some of the more unrelentingly anti-magic and anti-meta scientists are opting to soften their policies. They are asking for samples to be brought of any flora or fauna that were affected by the star shards that fell to see if they are able to reverse its effects. Something that both The Alliance and The Society are adamantly against. However, if you have any in your possession and do not belong to either organization - maybe now is your chance to investigate.

HOUSEKEEPING

Hello, Heroes!

We're shaking up the schedule a little here as March is looking to be mighty busy, so February is going to have a plot.

It's worth noting that no one has died yet in this game - and here's your opportunity to find out what happens when they do. It, like many other player actions, unlocks something of a mini-plot. This upcoming event feels like a good opportunity to provide this to a player. Your character is not permanently dead, and we are open to all kinds of elaborate revival plots - or we can provide you with one yourself. The important part is what death unlocks next for your character. Please use the sign up below to sign up, and we will contact the chosen player by February 5th and provide more details - with the ability to opt out or adjust if the potential plot is not to your liking.

It could be the beginning of a villain arc. Or simply the next stage in your character's heroic journey.

⚔︎Additionally, We are putting out a call for a large scale / game wide player plot for March! IF you want to help shake up the game's status quo, now would be the time to hit up mod contact and pitch your ideas. We are happy to assist with making any ideas workable, providing npcs where needed, or explaining how fallout.

There is always room for PLAYER PLOTS! If you want to follow up on an event, investigate the setting or interact with a NPC, you can also hit up SETTING ENGAGEMENT and NPC ENGAGEMENT respectively.

⚔︎ This game has an unofficial DISCORD SERVER! As a reminder, the moderators will not be monitoring the server's contents. However, players who have issues in the server are still welcome to bring their concerns to us at MOD CONTACT, just as they would with Plurk.
