HOW'S THE GAME?

Welcome to Cosmographia's second "How's the Game" post! This is essentially an open forum for players to discuss the game and where they feel it should be taken from its current point. Anything you think needs changing? Anything you want more, less of? Just want to air your opinions in a space with your fellow players? That’s exactly what this is here for! This also provides a place for players to air ideas for the game to the mods in a more broad sense than player plots and location ideas. In essence, we’re asking you guys to tell us exactly what you want from the game! Let us know what you’d like to see to make Cosmographia a fun, engaging experience for you.

Please note that this is not a place for criticism of specific players or characters. This is purely about the game itself. Please save player specific criticisms for HMD posts or private contact. Any disregard for this or out of hand conduct will be frozen or deleted.

How’s the Game is a space for all players to participate in a discussion. This includes current players as well as also past players that have left and new potential players considering the game; we’d like everyone to pitch in and gives us their thoughts! Please also not that for the time being, we will not be allowing anon commenting or sock accounts, though this may change in future HTG posts.

How’s the Game is a completely open forum. We have a list of topics we want to discuss (listed below), but after all those have gone up players are completely free to start their own threads with anything not covered by the other sections.

Current sections:

The Staff
Excursions
Setting & World
Game Plot
Future Event/Plot Suggestions

I am so many kinds of excited for missions excursions.

It sounds like these might be more dungeon-y and/or retrieval-related events but has the idea of "rescue" and/or "defend the town" excursions been tossed about yet? Players could be informed of somebody that's gone missing in a certain area or a distant town that's being bothered by a particularly troublesome gem monster that they then need to warp to and aid.

Granted, the above would probably mostly be a new spin on what Gems have already been doing for Waverly Bay but in a new location (with potential meta-plot findings) could be really cool!

Not specifically, but these are great ideas that are going promptly into the pot. Excursions can and will cover a whole range of possible activities that follow a basic format of "prompt/challenge -> character action -> mod-tracked IC result for the setting"!
