Greetings ADBZ, today I am presenting to you a new form of roleplaying on this site! I believe that, if people are doing them regularly, these will add a depth of continuity we have not traditionally seen around here. Anyways here's the new shit:
And another new feature:
I hope you guys will enjoy this and I look forward to seeing some plump Lore Indexes!
Lore Index - A thread on each planet that keeps account of all Lore Scrolls for easy reference. This may be used for inspiration by other writers in their own threads, and potentially built upon via new Lore Scrolls.
Lore Scrolls - A free-form RP that reveals specific features about a planet. (Ex. a gang of bandits on the outskirts of West City called the Lobster Claws, and how Krillin destroyed one of their hideouts). Take this as an opportunity to write something less character-centric than usual. Focus on the event, or location, etc, but sprinkle in your character’s involvement as you see fit. A another way to put it is that PS = Character Development and LS = Setting Development.
At the top of each Lore Scroll, make a post similar to when you copy and paste information for a Quest (example) Include a brief description (around 100 words) of the specific event you want logged. Post the RP Report as you normally would, but send the Report link to Jay via Discord DM. The short description will then be added to the Lore Index on the appropriate planet. An additional 100-ish blurb may be added for each bonus tier reached (based on WC), so longer threads can add more to the Index at one time.
Warning: If you don’t want other people having free will to write about one of your ideas, don’t put it in the summary at the end. The point of an LS is to present a piece of canon for other members to interact and build on, so that eventually we’ll have a rich and developed world to RP in.
Must be 1800 words minimum. Gives double normal quest bonuses. (A 3700 word Lore Scroll gives Medium Bonuses *2, a 5250 word Lore Scroll gives Hard Bonuses *2, etc). You may have as many participants as you like, but you all must be on the same planet (and the planet the Lore Scroll takes place on). Any bonus modifiers that can normally be used on quests may also be used on Lore Scrolls for half the normal increase.

And another new feature:
Thread Promotion - For a fee of 500z, you may request a GNN Report based on your thread plot in order to attract more members to participate. If no one joins, or if they join but fail to reach 1500 words, you may be refunded this cost. Every person that reaches 1500 words in a Promoted thread will receive +15% bonuses unless the fee is refunded.
The RP Guide assigned to the Organization that owns the planet your thread is based on should be your contact. RP Guides will be rewarded +150z for each of these GNN Reports.
