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!

arcade gannon | fallout
- as far as the messages go, i'm not sure i'll do a specific prompt for this but i would like to play around with it - either arcade finding someone else's notes or them finding his (though in his case it'll most likely be very boring/mundane notes from "family" that he will react very strongly to or incomprehensible research notes from his medicinal work)
- on that note, he collected some of the fancy crystal flowers from last month and has been trying to figure out if they have any medicinal use as anything other than a calmative (or if they can be made more effective as such), because making medicine from plants is his one!! job!! and by god he is going to find a way to do it. ...anyway, fellow smart people interested in talking about nerdy science things in the medbay?? (other people who just want to listen to a nerd talk about nerdy things?) potential willing test subjects?? i don't see this going anywhere significant atm but it could be a fun lil cr opportunity, idk.
- always down for more scavenging in the ruins, especially when it leads to more dangerous/precarious situations. monster or husk run-ins are good, too. arcade will probably be poking around the latter, this month, to see if he can find any more of that graffiti or more ominous signage/signs of life.
- he will also be getting caught in the storm, and getting the full naga transformation because it's snake month babeyyy. it'll be his first big horrific monster experience so i'd like to make it a complete disaster - getting stranded in some crumbling ruins during a crazy intense downpour, washed out in a mudslide, etc etc just struggling to survive the night while also struggling to comprehend new horrible monster body.
on the lighter side, he will most likely need to hitch a ride with somebody or just hang out on the convoy more after this bc he can barely drive with feet, it's not going to work without them.
- he should definitely get to fight a zolom in full snake form also.
no subject
Serph's also a cannibal so if that sort of thing is a hard No, I have an opt out
no subject
Also no worries about the cannibalism (oocly anyway), it's stupid common in Fallout and not something that I'm bothered about! That said, acceptance of it is going to be verrrry context-dependent for Arcade, if it's something that Serph is open about.
no subject
He's definitely not open about the cannibalism (tho he will be truthful if directly confronted) but he's mostly avoided it coming up by just not mentioning it. He's far too comfortable with the prospect of eating monsters, though by the standards of Fallout (I'm not canon familiar) that might not even register as strange?
