Weather & Moons

Weather Forecast:

State of the Sisters:

The Sisters will go dark in the sky early in the month, on the 10th, giving Mirrorbound Witches a respectable power boost that may make spellcasting a tricky thing. The moons will be bright and full by the 24th, edging Monsters closer to their more bestial instincts, for better or worse. A Look Ahead:

Swap Requests - May 2021

2021-05-01T21:04:38Z

Posted by: moustre

May Anniversary Swap Requests

Happy two year anniversary, Aefenglom!

As you know, we just updated our Bestiary to add three new Monster types, and our Magic page to add a new ability for Witches, all of which will be available on May 4th with the start of our second Fourth Wall Event.

Whether you've been with us as a player for a long time, or you're still on the newer side, we appreciate you sticking with us! We know that sometimes, you just need a change. Normally when it comes to swaps, we do them case by case for those who are having trouble playing their characters as their initial choice, and those who want to swap into Dragon or Fae need to drop and reapply. But this May, with new stuff available, we feel it'd be unfair if we didn't offer a freebie swap for any current player who wants to request one! This will not require a reapplication, even for swapping into Dragon, Fae, or Dryad.

ICly, this can be done any day during May after your request is approved. Characters who are swapped will have a strange dream of either themselves as the new Monster type or as a Witch, or they will dream of joining a group of faceless people of that type. This dream can take whatever shape you'd like, whether it's a dream of going to join a gaggle of Coven Witches for classes, or a dream of dancing with Dryads under the moonlight. As they dream, they will sleepwalk to the Looking Glass House, and will walk through their mirror. They will not be aware of "going home", or that they walked into their mirror. They will return immediately through their mirror and wake from the dream in the Looking Glass House with their current changes vanishing or receding. Maybe Geardagas thinks it has a better fit for you?

This is not a process any NPC or PC has IC control over, and the Coven will be just as confused as your character is!

After that, it's up to you how quickly you would like them to change into their new form, from a minimum of the month of May to fully complete their new changes, or a maximum of the full 9 months if you want to do it gradually.

You have until June 1st to fill out the form and request a swap from whatever your character is currently to whatever new form you would like to play - Witch, or any available Monster type. Please note that for fairness' sake, we will require an expanded justification for anyone who wants to swap into Dragon, Fae, or Dryad.

Player:
Character:
Current Type: Is your character currently a Witch, a Turnskin, what?
Desired Swap: What do you want your character to be instead?
Second Choice: You can just type NA if you want any type except Dragon, Fae, or Dryad. If you are going for one of those three, what is your second choice if your justification doesn't meet standards? You can choose to remain the same if you don't get your choice.
Justification: For most types, a sentence or two stating why you want this change is sufficient. For Dragon, Fae, or Dryad swaps, we require a bit more thought - how does this Monster fit (or conflict against) the character's personality? What development do you want to explore with it? Etc. A paragraph or two is enough.

May Anniversary Swap Requests are now closed!

Weather & Moons

Weather Forecast:

thunderous storm

dry and warm, but windy

cooler

State of the Sisters:

The Sisters will be new and dark on the 11th. They will be full and round in the sky on the 26th. This month brings what the locals refer to as Twin Flower Blood Moons, where the Sisters seem larger and brighter in the sky, only to be briefly eclipsed on the 26th. This rare phenomenon coinciding with the positive changes in the continent's magical balance means that Witches may find themselves buzzing with restless energy on the 11th, then feeling weaker as the Sisters take on a reddish hue and fill out later in the month. Monsters, contrarily, will find themselves bolstered by the Blood Moons, feeling stronger and their instincts closer to the surface under the red glow of the lunar eclipse. A Look Ahead:

App Announcement & Fourth Wall EMP!

2021-04-26T16:50:40Z

Posted by: faileas

App Announcements & Fourth Wall EMP!

Fourth Wall Event!
Happy almost TWO-year anniversary, Aefenglom! Similarly to last year, in May we are having a Fourth Wall Event, open to all who want to try out a character in the setting. Don't let your dreams be dreams. Keep in mind that for this Fourth Wall, characters who would not normally be appable will be allowed, except for CRAU from other games, and with the caveat of "be considerate to each other" with regards to doubles, etc. Otherwise, have fun!

The comms will be open to comments, but not posts, from characters who are not part of the game from May 4th to June 1st, and we will have posts for fourth wall characters to top level on. Fourth wall threads can be used for AC (for current characters) or samples for applications! We will have three new Monster types, Aeternae (Aef's special brand of demons), Sagani (elemental spirit-like Monsters), and Dryad (plant people), to try out as well, information for which will go live in the Bestiary on May 1st (don't mind our dust if you happen to see any broken nav links or locked pages before then!).

A fierce three-day thunderstorm at the start of Maiuril, coinciding with Boaltinn, will churn the seas off the coast of Aefenglom. Thanks to Mirrorbound heroes destroying a Cwyldheart deep in the Wilde, bringing new life to the leyline that passes under the city, magic is crackling in the air, bringing with it a sense of pressure, of precognition that something is going to happen. Not necessarily something bad, not necessarily something good, just something.

Off the coast, rocked by the furious storm, a large ship from a distant archipelago fights to stay afloat as they enter foreign waters when suddenly, they find new faces thrown onto their decks by the waves! The newcomers are all accompanied by strong ebbs and flows in the natural magic of the world, and while these foreigners don't know these folks and have never heard the word 'Mirrorbound' in their lives, they take them in. They don't have much choice - it will take a joint effort to escape the storm, but finally, the damaged ship finds safety in the harbor of Aefenglom. There, the wave-tossed might find faces they recognize, and of course, Miss Nessie and the Coven will be on-hand to welcome them and the travelers from a distant land.

At the end of the month, shiny, reflective stones like smooth mirrors will wash up on shore, and the fourth wall guests will disappear again, similar to last year. ICly they will have a gut feeling their stay is tentative, but no one will know exactly when they'll disappear. Still, that's plenty of time to explore a little, or reunite with old friends, or get to know these travelers that request refuge in this shining city by the sea.

Applications & Reserves Changes
We've had recent feedback that players might enjoy going back to a regular schedule for applications and reserves, and we think it's about time for that! We're willing to admit when something is working, when something isn't working, or when something was working but isn't any more - and we feel like our current application system is one of those things that isn't working anymore. So, starting in May, we will be going to monthly applications and reserves during set dates, following the same general schedule that they used to, with applications being in the last week of a month, with reserves a week before that. This will, we hope, allow more attention to be placed on new characters, provide a regular schedule for intros, etc. If the interest becomes too great in the future for us to handle monthly apps, then we may change to a bimonthly schedule, but currently we don't see there being any issues.

This means that Reserves will open May 18th, and Applications will be open May 25th until the 31st. We'll be updating the pages to reflect this change soon.

And finally, an EMP!
Feel free to use this post for characters you'd like to see, or to float characters you might want to bring, make plans with people who aren't already part of the game, etc! (The regular CR Meme will be for current players/characters. Fourth wall guests should use this instead.)

Aefenglom is a sex-friendly, panfandom fantasy game, set in the post-apocalyptic world of Geardagas. Character choices can affect overarching plot, and the characters' ultimate goal will be to help rebalance the world by stopping the growth of the Cwyld, a magical blight infecting both the land and inhabitants living in places left unprotected. There are many things to learn about the world and how it came to be along the way that will help in discovering both the cause of the Cwyld and how to get home.
