[MOD > Plot/Event crowdsourcing post]

[inchesofevil]

Since this is a pretty low-key game, the mods are not really running the show plotwise. So we leave it up to you, the players, to make this setting more than just a magical high-school sandbox.

Comment here with your ideas for gamewide events! Small school-event sized stuff like bake sales or seasonal dances? Go for it. Citywide events? Sure. Worldwide? Lay it on me.* Or if you just need an NPC to facilitate something for you, let me know and I'll get on it.

The ideas you present here can be as vague or as specific as you want, and I encourage people to chime in and discuss and build on the ideas of others. You don't need to give us fully-fledged plans; this post is for brainstorming. My job is to take your brainstorming and turn it into a fully-fledged plan.

*We're trying to keep the general tone of the game pretty light though, so keep that in mind.

Hey Guindo, I need an NPC

[inchesofevil]

Sure thing! Just reply to this comment and tell me what you need and where you need it.

As mentioned before, I'd like to play around with the idea of someone magically powerful but not all that bright either accidentally or intentionally turn the local Djinn into a wish-granter again, and then blow all the wishes on petty shit like playing pranks on people they don't like.

Mod #1 with some obvious ideas:

School dance! But probably save that until there's more CR determined.

Strange creatures showing up in other people's Contract Duels!

Mysterious stories of a ghost that walks the halls at night!

Trial of courage! Possibly related to the previous one!

Evil touring rock concert!

Buried treasure?!

[worldcup]

OH MAN I'd totally love to have mysterious stories of a ghost! Also adding onto it because I just came up with something but what about

the 7 wonders of the school?? IDK what they would be but there's something? the ghost could be one of those ~wonders~

[inchesofevil]

I really like this 7 wonders of the school idea. A set of urban legends about the place, maybe.

Question for the group: if we did a spooky ghost plot, what would you like to see from it?

[Edit] We're thinking snowstorm + spooky ghost event but we need some ideas for what the ghost's deal is and what it wants.

[worldcup]

The first thing I thought of was the Yukionna who has a grudge with one of the former students (???) and wants to get revenge because she doesn't know that the student already graduated!

I come up with bad ideas I'M SORRY

[wandering_eye]

It's worth noting that, as anime as the game is, it does take place in America.

Not that this necessarily invalidates the idea.

[worldcup]

Obviously the yukionna was a Japanese transfer student

obviously. Though we could always go with prankster ghosts. Like the one you see in Casper.

[worldcup]

Spirit week where there's competition between the grades to see which grade is the very best like no one ever was

Other than that I got nothing I'll get back to you guys when I come up with. something.

[inchesofevil]

FUCK YES SPIRIT WEEK That one's going on the list.

What kind of competitive events would y'all like to see in a spirit week?

[bonni]

Sudden snowstorm. Like four feet of snow! What the heck! Does it even snow here!?

Valentine's coming up, and somebody let a cherub loose with love arrows.

Fortune cookies at lunch tell oddly specific fortunes, and they all start coming true!?


yeah idk I'll brainstorm some more

[soundslikehighmay]

Event ideas:

- Weird alien disease that makes people's powers go crazy!
- Someone gets split into their good half and their evil half!
- Or alternatively, someone gets split into their happiness, their anger, their depression, their boredom, etc etc etc
- I think it's still early enough in the year that a freak snow storm could strand people in the school
- The staff get taken over by a mind control virus, forcing students to rebel against them

[all_onis_are_true]

But seriously, where's the haunted former schoolhouse

[thirdtenkaistar]

Experiment goes wrong and Doppelgangers appear causing trouble every which way

[sage_of_aspio]

One particular idea....

A strange form of contract duel that's basically just IC Hearthstone or something (preferably something we can play free and is somewhat simple) gains popularity for a while. Fades out after a few weeks.

[cant_breathe_no_heir]

There's a breakout of killer robots on the school grounds and it's totally not Equius's fault.

It might be though.

[losingherhead]

- Leprechauns or gnomes sneaked into the school and are playing all sort of pranks like: stealing a student's supplies, putting glue on people's chairs, putting up graffiti in the halls.
- Some kind of piece of jewelry shows up that makes many students desire it. Like the One Ring only less ridiculously addictive.
- Murder mystery?
- Cultists? Really dumb cultists?
- Something in the water gives everyone ridiculous accents??

[soundslikehighmay]

Celty wouldn't really be troubled by silly accent water, would she?

[losingherhead]

...Right!

Sometimes I forget that headless people don't drink or eat. If there was some other way of causing silly accents, it'd probably result in her habitually typing out an accent for some reason.

[tsunderbolting]

Coming up with more ideas in my sleep. The best way to come up with ideas.

- Rumor mill. Basically rumors start to spread more quickly than they normally do. Some may be true, some may not. But what if they started becoming true?
- School field trip!! Maybe just out of the school or perhaps out of the state/country entirely?? WHO KNOWS
