Player Events and Homecomings

Player Events and Homecomings

What kind of journal roleplaying game would we be if we didn't offer players the opportunity to submit and run their own events?

What kind of journal roleplaying game set on a spaceship would we be if we didn't offer players the opportunity to return to their characters' homeworlds?

Player Events
Player events can take any reasonable form, and can freely involve travel off the ship (usually in the form of a Divinity Drop log). To suggest one, fill out a comment using the form below, and the mod team will take a gander.

Type of Event: Divinity Drop, onboard, or other

Event Summary: The high-level overview

Mod Involvement: Would you like us to write posts, run NPCs, or perform other duties for the event, or would you prefer to handle those things yourself?

Anything Else: ...anything else?

Homecomings

A special type of event, Homecomings feature the Hyperion Star visiting a character's homeworld (or a world in canon at least, for those that may span multiple). This doesn't have to be during that character's canonpoint, though it can be; any point in canon history is fair game, provided there's sufficient information available about it to make for a clear and entertaining mission.

Homecomings always take the form of a Divinity Drop; the ship wouldn't visit the world were there no Divinity to be gained.

Canon Name: The character's canon name.

Canonpoint: At what point in canon would you like the Homecoming to occur?

Homecoming Summary: The high-level overview.

Major Themes: What's the overall aim of the event? What elements of the canon world would you most like to feature in it?

Mod Alterations: How much room would you like us to have to adapt, alter, or expand on your event?

Anything Else: ...anything else?
