BRAINSTORM!

Hi, friends!

I doubt it's missed anyone's notice that things around Darrow have been quiet lately. So let's work together to raise Darrow's activity levels!

Use this post to brainstorm. Throw out whatever you've got and let's see what sticks. Suggest anything you think might help or be fun or interesting, from game-wide plots to individual storylines you want to pursue for your characters but need help jumpstarting. What do you want to see happen next? Tell us! Do you have plot ideas you want someone to do but they don't work for your characters? Donate them! Is there something we can do or change that you think would help make things more exciting or make connections easier to... well, connect? What's missing? What's not helpful? Nothing's off the table, everything's worth throwing out there. Let's bounce off each other and see what we can come up with.

I love this idea so much. It's low-stakes, opt-in, with the potential for literally ANY drama the involved players want, without necessarily lasting consequences. And we saw from John's nightmare gathering that people are FUCKING CLEVER with playing in a dreamscape.

And the double duty as TD is fun as hell too, because it would help people establish CR with one or more individuals before entry! Some pups don't do well with being unseated into unfamiliar territory. Even one familiar face can make the difference! And if it was a bad dream, well, that just adds to the drama lmao

Exactly - you get the emotional payoff of playing out whatever the situation is without the broader disruption to the actual status quo of the city itself.

I also really do think it would be fun to have TDs that are a bit more substantive, and that overlap enough with actual gameplay that there's incentive to participate even if you don't have an app on the horizon or any new characters you want to huck around - that benefits both the current character base and anyone who wants to voice test.
