What is it
A guest DMed canonical text based event that has the approval of the current Core Team. To run a mission for a specific outcome or retrieval of an item or rescue.
Where is it
Strictly on Discord in a private channel that contains the RP, documentation, pictures and dicerolls.
Who can do it
Depending on the event, specific players who have a connection to the initial notion can be invited and they may nominate others. Alternatively if this sounds interesting to you, you may want to request the ability to join in on the next one. Not everyone will be the right fit for the current campaign, depending on what locale it's in, what you're up against and why.
Where does it happen
It happens in Mystara Alternate. It is concurrent to the current server goings on and all actions are considered canon. All outcomes, good, bad or catastrophic will be applied to the server world. Including permadeath, Exile, levels or items, etc
Why is this happening?
Currently many players are on different time zones or only have limited time to catch up. A text based discord campaign allows people to create meaningful relationships with each other and cause changes in the world without ever logging into the game.
There are also areas in the game that simply don't exist. This allows for a very versatile way of worldbuilding that can expand the nature of the game and enrich the server's boundaries.
This will add to the offline capability for people to RP on the go and be involved in short burst campaigns or longer more involved social and intrigue based situations.
What are the rules?
You must use your active main character. You may only use the NWN skills and abilities you have. You must accurately use your correct modifiers for rolls. You must accept all DM rulings, no matter what you feel or want.
What sort of thing should we expect?
Your choices WILL effect the outcome. Your character may become invalid (Deleted from the campaign and server) via your choices or the way you play. If you delete part way through the campaign, you will be immediately removed. All campaigns will require an amount of reading and reading comprehension. Looking at maps and also listening to the designated leaders and the DM. The campaign is considered canon, nothing will be retconned.
You should expect to see some information after a campaign like newspaper articles or references, shadows and echoes of a recent campaign, Like exile notices or character deletions, creations, new areas, NPC's and animals. Additions and removals. It is a world changing and world building exercise.
After every campaign ALL players will be expected to provide feedback as a part of the process. So that it can be fine tuned. If a player accepts a part in the campaign, they are confirming that they will absolutely offer feedback, even if they were only a partial participant. It can be sent directly to the player DM, to the channel or to Admins.
