Lorekeeper Meeting: Sat. Sept. 20th 05:00 Potion House

Post by Wombat »

Sorry for the late event announcement. Ohio got struck by a bad wind storm (currently in a state of emergency) and its taken a moment to recollect myself.

The purpose of the Lorekeepers is to educate themselves and others on "The Mana World" lore and "Holy Mana Clan" lore. The Lorekeepers use this lore to integrate Holy Mana Clan events and plots into The Mana World's storyline.

Team Lorekeeper is developing a timeline that will attempt to place the Holy Mana Clan within an experimental and player driven timeline based on The Mana World's backstory.

The Lorekeepers may develop events that interact with team created story arcs that pits players against each other as they compete for positive and heroic protrayals within the Lorekeeper timeline.

As an example, the "King" may be corrupt and want to reign in the bandits that roam the desert, as an example plot. Trying to overcome the game's limitations can also be a problem with storyline integration.

For this meeting we will discuss the creation of faux guilds and roles. We will discuss possible storyarcs that could be created where the HMC can exemplify its paladin role in the game. And finally, we will discuss TMW NPCS already in play and how the Lorekeepers might use them for a storyarc.

Meeting begins this Saturday (September 20th) at 05:00 Game Time in the Woodland Village outside the potion house. For HMC members, attendance will be taken and perk points awarded. However all players are invited to participate.

Meeting is actually the 27th. My mistake. I will still attend tonight and have an "un-official" meeting. Sorry about the mix up. Same time, 05:00.

Despite getting the "official" day wrong, we had an interesting meeting. We discussed roles, faux guilds, NPCs and other stuff related to creating "story arcs".

Official Meeting the 27th 05:00 (Friday Night/Saturday Morning). At this meeting we will get more into elements of antagonist guilds and discuss potential storyarcs we could use with the HMC membership acting as the story's protagonist. We will also discuss changing the meeting time, should we decide to hold regular meetings.

HMC Lorekeeper Sept 27th Meeting Update


Lorekeeper meeting was a small success. We discussed the possibilities of a "robber guild" as the first "faux guild" of the storyline. We also discussed creating an HMC (storyline) leader so the real HMC leadership doesn't get pulled into a plot they might not be participating in (or maybe they decided to be a story villain or something).
