A good start of the week! I’m still getting adjusted to my new job, but things seem to be going well. It helps that I have a few friends from university who came here as well, so I’m not totally isolated. I always hate that about new environments: having to start from zero in terms of making friends.

After work, to celebrate the start of our second week, we went to the usual lounge to have some snacks and a few drinks. I was tired, but we’d promised to meet. It wasn’t so bad and I had fun, so no issues, right? Granted, this will cost me tomorrow, when I have to get up early. Even now that I’m writing this I’m already yawning and struggling to keep my eyes open, but I promised Mr Varoufakis, my Contemporary Selenid Literature professor, that I’d blog as often as possible.

Oh, speaking of blogging, I suppose I should summarise the day’s events, for posterity. Today the attended the opening of the Friendship Festival, an annual event organised by the Sartorian Embassy. It was quite fun: there was typical Sartorian food –which I love-, traditional dances, an exhibition on Sartorian technological advances, and some speeches by the Ambassador and our Foreign Minister. I had to write a draft article for the Herald, under the supervision of another reporter.

I was also asked to write an article about this explosion near the border with Kalos. That one was boring: apparently there was a skirmish along the border, some kind of confrontation between Kalon and Selenid border patrols, but the government is keeping everything under wraps, so there wasn’t much to write about. I struggled to draft the article, and in the end my supervisor admitted that the little I’d written was all that could be realistically said about the event. She said she’d sent a message to a correspondent near the border, to see if they could find out more, but she wasn’t feeling too confident that there is much of a story with this.

In any case, I really am falling asleep now, so that’ll be all for now. Good night world!

Welcome to the Age of Myths

Where the gods themselves still roam the world with creatures that will soon go down as nothing more than fantasy. So will your story if it even goes down in history but will this really be your goal? 

Fame and historical immortality, riches or wisdom every single one of these you can receive with the right dedication and skills if you have them. 

That's very simple, it will all be very episodic with the Plotmaster being someone else from Myth to myth by going down the names of the players, alphabetically. The Plotmaster makes up a rough plot with the characters provided (Which can be reused) and then controls NPCs, monsters, events, and rough descriptions of the environment. Yes, everything will be pretty much at the mercy of this Plotmaster as the only rule for him is not to actively kill everyone or be too absurd but as he won't be forever Plotmaster he will have to overthink to abuse that power.

1. Be respectful to other RPers. You can treat them like you want in RP but don't hold any grudges outside of it.

2. No Metagaming. You can't know what happened in situations you weren't there or by reading something someone else posted. You only know what your character saw.

3. No Mary-Sue. If you are perfect, you are at the wrong place.¨

4. No god modding. You are not a magician, you are a normal human, I think.

4. What the Plotmaster says stands.

6. If something misses in the rules, contact me.
