The Perennial Campaign will be launched in less than 24 hours.
For now here's a brief overview of part one, how things work, and of course this will be the OOC discussion thread. The reason I decided not to use the signup thread was just to clear some confusion, since I needed to write a brand new post anyway.
OVERVIEW
Catalyst
Pretty much what's going to happen is a bunch of anomalies pop up in different places of the galaxy, very derelict and abandoned ships all pinging out en masse the hyperdrive coordinates to a large and mysterious space station. Of course, you'll have to arrive there by ship somehow. I'll let you work out the arrival details but basically when you arrive the space station will lock the ships into their tractor beams and pull them into one of many hanger ports. So I approach in ships no larger than 100 meters.
This will all be done in two threads: One for the Ascent, the other for the Descent.
Story progression
To make things unique and rather interesting this is how the thread will be written: The storyteller sets the atmosphere, and describes the room. Think of it as a point and click game. Roleplay in character and explore each floor -- there are several floors worth exploring and you're free to move about the rooms. If say, the storyteller -- me -- describes that there is a shelf full of items and you decide to look into the shelf, I'll describe what is in noticeable sight. Then you respond. So basically, whenever you enter a floor you want to write defensively and as the storyteller will react to your writing and provide you information that suits your action choices, and then you can decide how to navigate that. So it really all depends up to you as the writer and how your character does things. Objectives can be completed in various ways.
FORCE USERS
This really only pertains to the Ascent thread, but there's going to be a part that has to do a lot with Illusions. Now per board rules, I can't force your characters into these illusions and thus Force-users -- generally speaking -- are immune to force illusions for the most part, or can easily break free. I do however strongly encourage that you play along because it's flavourful and enriching for storytelling. Not to mention one of the secret objectives can only be completed inside the illusions!
I do promise no actual harm will be attempted on your character inside these illusions.
OBJECTIVES
I will be updating the objective list here. For now I'll simply post the first objectives for each! There are a series of objectives, 4 to be precise for each thread.
Ascent
Objective I
Descent
Objective I
Side Objectives
The campaign will sport two side objectives for each side. They will become known after Objective I is completed on each side.
Tug-o-war
As I mentioned, if one side completes Objective I before the other, they cause repercussions for that side. These are hidden and will only be announced when it happens!
For the most part they won't be dangerous, just unhelpful to the characters
(or most of them)
Secret Objectives
There are two secret objectives. What they are is up to you to discover, but anyone who completes them -- regardless of which side 'wins' -- will get a special reward.
