Glad to hear. Anything you want to see tweaked for next time? What did you enjoy most? What was least engaging?

If you (any) would like to drop out. Please let me know now, so I can determine how to respond to losing a player.

Though I do slightly regret the way I chose to do things in hindsight, it's not like I could start over with the same character and power and just re-do my last few actions.
So yes, I would like to continue

It is still a little blurry what you can accomplish in a week. We may see things more defined as roleplaying and weekly activities, separately, as the game evolves. I am considering if some Arms Race like elements might be interesting for character progression. Would players be interested if I made avatars with emotes, or would that be a hassle?

Me neither. I like that you liked one of my creations enough to add it.  :)

with ZL I try to make it feel pretty free, but everyone had big dreams. It took a couple of games to deliver on one.

Game will start in a few days, maybe tomorrow. In the future I may take a down time between sessions to host something else and take a break from Hero Saga. The medals have been assigned for last chapter. Thanks for playing.

So we will do this chapter. Then for the next chapter I will be looking for 3 new players. This story will take place in a different district, and I intend for the players of First District to be able to resume right at the moment they left off at a later point. By having new players I will be able to see where the rules are lacking explanation and have new eyes to see any problems with the game. I hope this makes this decision clear. Please make the most of this chapter before this transition. Good luck and have fun.

[Aubriella Downs', Vanadia's, and Huxley Rivers' weekly action was interrupted by the Crisis Event. You may redo it, do a different one, or skip your turn.]
which crisis event, the Scarlet Horror?
Yup.

Reminder About OOC/IC
Now that we are out of the prologue, let's make an extra effort to keep all Out-Of-Character(OOC) comments and questions, including questions about how your powers work, out of the In-Character(IC) thread. Post them here, or PM them.

I am happy to answer simply questions about your powers. You do not need to actually spend entire turns to get these answers, just ask. This chapter will have much greater consequences for how you choose to spend your time, so spend it wisely!


1 Week = 1 Action
Starting with this chapter I am going to simplify what you can accomplish in a week, for my own sanity, and to lessen the disadvantage to less active players.

If you participate in a crisis event, your week activity is canceled.

Roleplaying will take up your weekly activity. You may still have a prolonged interaction with NPCs (and these could trigger a crisis event) but you will no longer see my "[You may choose another action.]" notifications. Because you no longer can.

This may seem odd that something that probably took up 10 minutes of in-game time would use up a week, but the alternative is implying you did potentially infinite roleplaying encounters precisely at the start of your week, then used the rest to perform the activity. Any one of those roleplaying encounters (or a crisis event) could have persuaded your character to do something else, so it also doesn't make sense they commit to something at the start of a week and ignore what other encounters they have throughout the week and don't consider responding to it.

So I guess the time consumption implies setting up those roleplaying meetups, tracking the person, ect. I find this a lot better to live with than any alternative.

Depending on what people are doing and what is happening in the world, there can still be multiple events. And there could be roleplaying encounters branching off each of them.

I guess I'll go to school and see what kind of extracurricular actives they have,

You are rich enough that anything they don't have, you can likely get private lessons for.

Some trainable combat skills might be
-fencing
-gymnastics
-equestrian
-archery
-monster biology
-robotics
-track and field

To name a few.
