World of Darkness || 10/15 Event
Hey, muns and muses! Do you like watching horror movies, B-rated or otherwise? Are you fascinated by things that go bump in the night? Have you been spending the last nine months preparing yourself for the Skeleton Wars?
Then have we got an event for you!
The World of Darkness October Event is starting this Thursday!
This event is loosely inspired by the World of Darkness tabletop rpgs from White Wold Productions and Mind’s Eye Theater, but fret not! No knowledge of or experience with the World of Darkness is required to participate, at all!
The Basics: For this event, you muse(s) have, somehow, some way, become a living (or unliving, if you prefer), breathing, horror monster! Ahhhh! What kind of monster they have become, when they became it, and how are all up to you! The best part is, you can draw your inspiration from anywhere you want—it can be from any movie, story, videogame, myth, legend, what have you, and regardless of the event’s name, you are not restricted to any one source material! You are free to engage in any regular form of activity, from threads to drabbles and anything in between. Each Sunday, we will post a short writing prompt on the Hub concerning the event—if you want to participate and write a drabble/solo or complete a thread with another member based on the prompt within the week, you can earn some spoopy pokemon for your muses! As always, event participation is entirely optional.
If you want to participate in the event but may be having trouble deciding what kind of monster to choose, Roark-mod has found a myths & legends masterpost that you can use to satisfy your spoop! You can check it out here!
The Setting: For some reason, monsters tend to flock to cities, probably because there’s a lot of people there to scare and also because it’s easier to blend in with the nightlife. Goldenrod, Johto, is no exception! Whether they’ve just moved in or have been squatting there for a while, Goldenrod City will be the center stage for this event! But as nice as cities are, they also have a pointy side to them: with that many people on the streets, it can be difficult to keep the truth of the supernatural a secret, and it only takes one city council to find out before the mob comes at us with torches and pitchforks! To try an maintain peace and order, two groups have arisen: the Camarilla, and the Anarchs. The Camarilla is order, bureaucratic, and will hold you to their rules whether you’re one of them or not. The Anarchs are chaos, soldiers, and won’t care what you do as long as you don’t get the rest of them found—and boy, are tensions strained between these groups! Will you pick a side or try to foot it alone?
The Rules: Standard group rules apply—if you’re a little foggy, feel free to jolt your memory on the Hub. In addition, we urge all event participants to be mindful about their monsters’ supernatural abilities, and to discuss using them on you RP’ing partner’s muse with them to make sure what is and isn’t okay. Otherwise, get creative, and have fun!
The Tag: Please try to tag all posts pertaining to the event as “rhqwod.”
That’s it for now, muns and muses!
