Greetings! I know the release of TLM has everyone’s nose in a book, but I wanted to ping everyone who was interested in having a Guild gathering during the Vigil. So, if you’re here you’re the head of a guild or expressed interest in possibly joining the meeting. Want to get a nice set piece going for this particular thread and this seems a nice way to bring at least some of everyone together.

@AonEne @Voidus @MacThorstenson @Sherlock Holmes @Rushu42 if I missed any do forgive me

I'm down for this, but I'll have to drag Grey Knight's character with me or accept his application and leave him behind. We work at a much slower pace than you and Voidus, so it might take a few days.

Collaboration thread available as well if anyone has anything they'd like to plan for it in advance. I'm mostly waiting for someone else to begin that plot though since Voidus is a reluctant participant at best

No problem at all, just wanted to get this going because I do know people work slower than I usually do, and that is totally fine. But didn’t want to let it slip past the radar.

I would be down to come along, if that works.

You can be my page, pft. I'll have Rik stay behind so that he doesn't listen in on our big important gamer conversation.

Y'all just let me know when we're having the conversation.

I have to admit, that I don't really have a character for the meeting Which is a bit sad as I'd ooc love to be a part of it. But I'm afraid that it wouldn't make a lot of sense ic.

But if it's still possible I would like to have a character join your mini side plot. @ZincAboutIt

Temeria could hear about it at the SG I guess? But yeah wouldn't make a whole lot of sense to attend.

I mean she could go there to plead for the whole 'do some good' topic. But there is no reason why a person who's not belonging to a guild should be admitted. It might work if she tagged along with Mac or the SG, but that would imply, that her current scene has to be finished - so it's a no. I don't want to hold everything up or pressure mathiau.

 

I have to admit that I toyed with the thought of Lena replacing a caterer (in my head there's no meeting with important people without some finger food). Those attending could call her out of course, don't want to decide that nobody looks through a disguise. But only if it works for everybody. I'm fine with not participating.

This sounds so fun XD

This the thread for inquiring about how to join the fun?

 

I have not yet made a character, but that is mostly because I have So Many Questions.

So how do the magic systems interact? Do you have to be born on scadrial to have metalborn powers? Does hemalurgic spikes tie you to ruin? Does being an elantrian kinda suck because of location limitations? Are epics still evil? Are smedry talents still genetic? How abundant are metals like atium or lerasium and ettmetal? How important is connection for being able to communicate with others? Are there multiple earths, or is this a world where epic powers and oculators coexist? What of the wheel of time? Is it counted in here? How much spoiler hiding do I have to do for various books? Are the events of every book still happening? Already happened? Not happened yet? How easy is it to find radiant spren?

 

I apologize for all the questions. But this is so fun, and the potential ramifications are so confusing.

1. Depends, but generally we say that non-Cosmere systems function by similar rules, so a bronze burner could sense an Epic using their powers, for example
2. Normally there's a general assumption you're from the planet the power is from, but it's not necessary, and people born in the Alleyverse can have powers from all kinds of planets.
3. Assumption is that Ruin either doesn't exist anymore, or doesn't have any power here
4. Location requirements are handwaved as it just working anyway
5. Calamity Epics generally are (unless you go the weakness route), but you can also be a non-evil Invocation Epic
6. Generally yes, or at least I don't think I've seen anyone make a talent char before who wasn't a Smedry
7. All are rare, though I expect Ettmetal artifacts to be more common. Atium does exist, but it still highly valuable, getting lerasium would probably require discussing stuff with mods.
8. Handwaved in that anyone who enters the Alleyverse gets Connection to it and thus speaks the same language, barring a few edge-cases when players preferred it.
9. Multiple earths
10. Wheel of time is counted, but not used much.
11. For spoilers, I think generally follow Shard spoiler policies? So probably no LM stuff for now, but the rest should be fine.
12. The Alleyverse doesn't exist on the same timeline, so people can arrive from basically any point in time.
13. Finding a Radiant spren is as difficult as you want it to be, though I also suggest discussing with mods.

Thank you so much! I think I have an idea for a starting character. Once I create and submit my character for approval, and once it’s approved, what do newcomers generally do/go to?

We currently have one ongoing thing in The Vigil, though there are a couple plots planned to start as well.

Aside from that, I suggest looking Here, which is meant to be a thread to look for others to rp with.

[EmulatonStromenkiin]

This is an idea I'm throwing out there, for a more comic character. An Epic who changes their epic name a great deal, and everyone has given up and just calls them "He/She/It of a thousand and one names"

Perhaps their epic power is confusing people with name changes...

That sounds like an Epic Voidus would have in one of his many docs.

Aight, people, I might be diving back into the alley verse with two characters. One I've been thinking about besides the ghostblood one is either a spren or a singer. I think one that accidentally fell into the alley verse would be just... so fun.

We love fun here! Both options sound lovely. A spren character is always an interesting concept.

[EmulatonStromenkiin]

I'm thinking Balance might eventually turn into something akin to a spren, when his savantism is complete.

[AonEne]

Hey @Stormlightsong! Can I ask when your post in the TUBA thread is taking place - is this a week after the events of the Forgery, or less than that? Just need to know whether I can send my character over there or not, as a week out she's going to a meeting and dealing with a dying guy

[Stormlightsong]

Probably after the forgery

This would certainly be the case. What Ene is asking is if it would be immediately after, or exactly a week after - concurrent with the Vigil thread. If the latter, Ene’s character is busy. So I’d recommend putting this within the week between the Forgery ending and the Vigil day.

Thanks for the advice. This would probably take place in that first week then.
