Brainstorming Post!
Hey friends! It's time for Programming Submissions, so from July 1st through the 31st we want your submissions. We're ready to see the content you guys want for 2021. Come let us know in the discord server and connect with us on the dreamwidth post to let us know what kind of programming you want to see at the Con this year!
been brainstorming n thinking it over for a looong time & I do wanna change how I do future Adventurer Packs. So here's my brainstorm:
A big character pack of walk sprites & faces.
Then a matching pack of Sideview Battlers and Fullbody artwork (that doubles as a frontview battler).
The main hurdle is… well, all assets for a character would be split into two packs. Ideally everything for a character's in one big pack right! But the sideview battlers really were their own beast in Adventurer Pack 1, I can't lie. I believe they should be split🕴️
As for the packs themselves, i'm thinking they expand but start with 6? classes. Maybe 8 it depends. Example:
Release: Knight 1/Mage 1/Rogue 1/Cleric 1/Monk 1/Bard 1 (6) Expansion 1: Knight 2/Mage 2/Rogue 2/etc… (12)
…until it reaches 18-24. The price would increase by the final expansion at the latest. So it's a "hey buy it early and you get the expansions for free" situation.
what do yall think?
it'll be some time before i get back to the Adventurers (2026), so while working on the NPC pack, i've been really thinking a lot about how I wanna go about making Adventurers in the meantime...
like a lot a lot
At this point, the current Adventurer Pack 1 was basically a test run. So I've been wondering what contents i wanna stick with making for future Adventurer Packs.
But also whether the Adventurers should be packs or just 1 character at a time.
Aaand more recently, the idea of Job Packs. Which would have like for example, a set of portraits + walksprites based around a class archetype... Take these halfbodies from the RPG Maker FES pack for example. These ones are all part of a Hero/Warrior-like archetype.
Something like that.
i have so many general ideas in my head, but just dont know what direction to go with the Adventurer Packs in the future...
Individual Adventurers, or part of a Job Pack... What types of assets do I really wanna keep making for these packs...? Cause that'd also influence whether things would be in a pack or individual...
I like brainstorming, but damn it sure does have "Can't decide & I'm gonna blow up if I keep thinking but I need to have this settled & really want it settled asap" moments like these.

Do you have an idea for a panel or workshop that you need to bounce off someone else? Are you interested in a panel about crossovers or the object of your fannish thirst? Head to our brainstorming post!

What's a scenario you would like to see me put Anna through?
Preliminary Possibilities for Demon!Dean Which Excite Me
A return to early season Dean’s lightness and snark: Yeah, he’s dark and evil, but relieving him of his conscience also relieves him of the burden which has been building for seasons. Sets up a salvation arc beautifully by (almost counter-intuitively) reminding us of the Dean we wanted to save in the first place. (For Buffy fans: kind of like how Angelus was so much less mopey than Angel…you couldn’t help but enjoy the evil guy. Right? Right?)
This provides a perfect opportunity to lift that bi!Dean subtext into text.
Dean can battle his own inner demon while hashing it all out in an additional literal way, thanks to the metaphors of fantasy.
Crowley and Dean could play out Dean’s much-needed refutation of an unhealthy father figure (an idea which I got here)
Demon!Dean could last for longer than most of us seem to expect and actually be used as a mechanism to shake up the format of the show. (Controversial possibility, but…on the other hand all the MotW/suddenly just bros/no arc episodes are starting to commonly be seen as weak points and if they want to carry on successfully for more seasons they might benefit from adding a bit more stability for the show working outside of those…)
