MARCH PLOTTING POST

Hello Drifters, and welcome to the March Plotting Post!


March marks a busy month for the game: we’ll be holding our main game event around the 5th or the 7th (depending on schedules!) an ATP/EMP timed for the 8th to go up alongside the EMP comm post, and our second Test Drive Meme on the 15th!

As a reminder, players may tag either the game event OR TDM posts as they wish! If you post a top level in the TDM, please mark in the subject line that you are Currently In-Game. Both for the ease of book keeping, and to help new players figure out who is who! With this said, onto the major stops this month:

With the forest behind them the Convoy makes its way onto the grasslands. Powerlines dot the landscape, decorated with paper scraps. These papers contain messages from home, and can help stabilize Drifters from the effects of last month’s Moon Warp.

While on the move Drifters will encounter the ruins of old homes and stores, with plenty of Husks scattered around these dwellings. While the ruins can provide supplies and shelters, getting too close to the Husks can prompt either monster spawns from the Husks, or behavior changes in Drifters. (Your character may feel restless, on edge, and/or showing a psychological monster trait.) The Convoy has a fix for this in the form of a song played from speakers, but this only works when the Convoy is close at hand.

In addition there will be encounters with a new monster called bull gorgons, which can be harvested for meat but not without a fight! At the end of the month, the terrain will also get more marshy, and will be the perfect spot for a zolom attack. That’s right, the Final Fantasy 7 snake kaiju is going to make an appearance, and they hunt in a pack!

We’re also pleased to announce this is our first event monster month. And this month will be centered around the Harpy and Naga species. A monster transforming storm is going to rage through the grasslands. It temporarily (ie, for one month) imparts traits from one of these monsters if any Drifter stumbles into the storm. This will occur in both the main comms, and the TDM, so feel free to play either way!

As a last house keeping note, we are currently short on mod staff, so feel free to take a look at the Mod Contact page if that is something that sounds interesting!

And that is our route planned for the month! We hope you enjoy this event, and feel free to plan in the comments below!

Okay! Jack has the storm restlessness/storm form trait so when that storm hits, not only is one of his six fox tails turning into a snakey tail, he's gonna pop into a new shape! Entirely unwillingly! Say hello to labrador-sized, six-tailed, phantom-fire-dripping Jack the kitsune fox!

Outside of that, he's going to be scavenging with a will in the towns, adding some armoring to his VW bus, and fixing people's clothes per the message he just posted. It is entirely likely that he'll spawn a husk monster on accident and need rescued, because this is Jack's lot in life. I am still debating on a note from Ted or not.

He may try laying some traps when the convoy stops for the night and winding up with some mutated rabbits or something before the zolom attack, because Serph is not eating his porridge and he's trying to find SOMETHING to feed him with because he does not know Serph has been eating formerly-human monsters yet.

LOL perfect. He could definitely have noticed that it hasn't been anywhere near the dining car since the trip started, considering he's already checking in on Serph
