Shift Time: gamma
Audience: OPEN See below.
Event Type: Structured
Starting Point: Discord
This will be part of the canonization of the STO episodes Eye of the Storm and The Fujiwhara Effect. There are some important OOC notes regarding this event, so
please read carefully before attending:
- Characters and ships attending this event will be LOCKED IN to this storyline for a period of approximately 3 days. Please expect to be unable to RP these characters as part of other RP until the conclusion of our canonization some time on Monday March 27th. In return, these characters will have a unique shared experience that may be interesting for character development or follow-up RP.
- Ship Captains attending MUST allow any PC crewmembers to OOCly opt-out and have their characters not be ICly present on- or off-screen if they do not agree to the above restriction.
- In addition to the group participating in this event on-screen, there will be an off-screen task force with a similar mission and outcome, for anyone who wants their character to participate in this story but is unable to make the event. This is not a direct RP opportunity, but simply the opportunity for a second group to say “Yes, my character was there for this.” To be included in this off-screen group, you must post a reply to this thread stating your interest, and I’ll contact you to discuss your character’s off-screen participation.
- This will be a REAL-TIME event on discord. If you attend/participate, we will expect you to be present and able to respond as you would if the event were in-game. The event itself should last around 2.5 hours, and there is a hard-stop at the three hour mark.
- This event will use the SHIP Captain framework for combat portions. It will be purely PvE with heavy GMing, so don’t worry too much about trying to min-max the system, and don’t stress if you haven’t used it before. We’re going to focus on story more than mechanics at this event. That said, please at least read through the framework post before the start of the event so you have an idea.
- The event itself is OOCly OPEN TO EVERYONE. Even if your character is not attending, you are welcome to join in as an NPC ship. Depending on attendance and interest, I may have secondary RP channels set up for on-ship RP for lower ranking characters/crews, to run concurrently with the main ship-focused channel.
- To help me organize the above, I am asking for anyone attending as a non-captain to post a reply below indicating which character.
as a fall-back plan. When would a decision need to be made there?
