HOW'S THE GAME?

Welcome to Cosmographia's first "How's the Game"! This is essentially an open forum for discussion about where to take the game from here and anything that might need changing. A lot has happened in the past week and going forward we feel it's more important than ever to have a discussion like this.

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 the upcoming How's My Driving. Any disregard for this or out of hand conduct will be frozen or deleted.

We are inviting not just all current players (old and new) to participate in this discussion but also past players that have left and new potential players considering the game; we encourage everyone to pitch in their two cents. That being said, since this is the game's first HTG we are currently going to do it without anon or sock journals (for future HTG this may change).

Like said this 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 (please wait until all these are up and linked to post your own they're all up now!):

Hmm... Honestly, I haven't had much problem coming up with new powers I'd like my muses to earn. Both of them have lists full of ideas I've been batting around.

That said, I'm totally cool with having Big, Empowering Events becoming bimonthly! Given how many new!Gems have been active around Waverly Bay, it completely makes sense how things like major monster attacks could be slowing down. Even if monsterized Gems are being drawn towards the Temple for whatever reason, it'll take time for them to reach us, right?

And it might be best if it goes back towards people actually having to participate in the events in some way in order to unlock their powers. Or, if people just simply not being able to participate for whatever reasons is still an issue, maybe they can still gain powers, but not at the same time as everyone else? Instead of that power instantly being unlocked, it takes them a few more 'in-game' days to access it...

I also like Scott's suggestion that maybe newer characters who don't have many powers left could earn them through making AC, or something along those lines... and having some way to 'level-up' powers they already have.
