There are several different types of Global Events that may be run. All Globals are considered IC and should be thematically appropriate. Currently there are two standard weekly recurring events (unless communicated otherwise via discord or RPGLOBAL board). These events will be posted on Discord, the Website and on the RPGlobal board on a monthly basis to give a schedule of planned events. These two events are:
Monster of the Week (MOTW) - Fridays at approximately 7PM EST
This is a procedural monster hunt where the theme and flavor may change week to week. There may be Monster Hunts that span multiple weeks in a more in depth storyline. Some of these events may also tie in other World Wide Global Storylines. These events general involve the use of Combat and Teamwork. It utilizes the RP Stat and Combat System. Newbies are welcome to these events! The DM will teach and explain the system and scale to the participants.
Wacky Wednesday (WW) - Wednesday at Approximately 7PM - 10PM EST
This is a weekly Roleplay-Centric Global. The themes are silly and wild. The events are centered on an event that is happening to encourage roleplay between those gathered. This may be something as silly as The Tirradyn Snail Races or something like a fully fleshed out Opera Performance. This event is to encourage play and interaction between players in a setting. There may be light dice rolls to facilitate the event activities, but no combat. Newbies always welcome to these events and those who prefer non-combat oriented Events.
Some Global Events may be to facilitate larger World Oriented storylines that are run by the Staff. We encourage players to develop story lines and events as well. If you have an idea for a story, send an immrequest to imm with you ideas. This includes guild, empire and religion events.
World Storylines
These events are broad, long reaching events that will have long term consequences. They are usually run by staff to promote World Lore, Large "Big Bad" Enemies, and World changes. These storylines generally include multiple Events and Sessions with opportunity for different kinds of participation. They are more complex, further reaching and require more interaction between players and teamwork. They may take place over weeks or even months.
Mini-Globals
Smaller one off events that may or may not be spur of the moment. These are short adventures or stories that take a short amount of time. They may or may not be spur of the moment. They usually last less than a week or even a single session.
Holiday Events
These Events are usually centered around celebrations and either IC (or sometimes) OOC celebration.
Arena Events
These events may be IC or OOC but generally use the RP Stat and Combat system in a PVP style event.
Player Run Events
These events are run by players. We encourage players to run events as DMs for storylines for their characters or just for ideas they have. Contact the Staff if you have questions or ideas.
