A Dark Sun Rises
They have spread out across the wastes: a stain that continues to influence settlements further and further afield. The Infection Farms are all but stamped out on the Wailing Shores - but the engine hums. It must be fed.
Ironmound Islet sees an opportunity to open its doors to trade. There is a rumor that the Big Ayesea may be interested in partnering with the Wailing Shores, and the various companies that call Ironmound home know that they need to snag the biggest piece of the pie — or loose out entirely.
But while Ironmound grasps at Scrim, the others islands have begun to shutter their doors. There is rumor of something amiss on Brownstone — a reason why they are closing themselves off to outsiders this trade. Stranger still is the fact that Saltpier has also begun to prepare its defenses.
There is clearly a threat, but what is it? And how will you take advantage of the situation?
Event Themes
As always, we recommend that each participant read through the site to determine if this is the sort of event that they’d like to participant in. This latest event is designed to be darker than our other events, so we ask that participants be aware of the content that we plan to introduce. The Breaking Storm is an 18+ online event and deals with the themes of:
Sea adventures, sailing, environmental threats, pirates, sexual innuendos, Infection harvesting, tests of morality, torture, violence, combat, drugs, death, zombies, torture, water, black market dealings, local fictional politics, MORE local fictional politics, fictional religions, murder, drowning, and body horror.
While we try to disclose the main themes that you may encounter, there may be other themes and scenarios that crop up during the event. We encourage each participant to know their own limits, and to feel empowered to remove themselves from any scene that they may not be up for in order to best enjoy the event.
What to Expect
For our online events using our Discord, you will be able to go on a series of tabletop-like modules, interacting with various characters in role-play areas, and also have out-of-character channels for hanging out. For our online events, we recommend that you acquire a camera and be in costume. Our rooms focus on video and speech to help bring people into the scene and we only have one text channel for text role-play. If you plan to go on modules, please note that you will need to have voice chat activated.
Our normal tickets come with 2 online scenarios and access to our role-play areas as well as access to our finale drop-in modules, and our VIP tickets come with 3 online scenarios, drop-in module access, and access to our role-play areas. Our role-play only tickets allow access into our role-play areas where our fully fleshed out NPCs will be, but does not provide access to mechanics or crafting. Before the event, we will publish a full schedule of modules and also role-play scenes and character appearances in the role-play areas so you can schedule your event appropriately. We recommend you join the Discord as soon as you purchase your ticket to keep up-to-date with the latest announcements.
