kingdomdaze_ooc | HALLOWEENIE BOARD GAME LABYRINTH

Aw yes, from 10/21 - 10/31 I will be running a board game-esque labyrinth! It's going to be silly and spoopy as opposed to straight-up horror. However, if your character has some very common fears, it might be a little scary. But it's mostly silly and dumb; take into consideration that your character will be made to wear a Halloween costume (of your choosing) for the duration of this board game.

DURATION: Though it will last 10 days, that's mostly to allow players the time and space they need to respond without feeling rushed. Some of us have tight schedules, and some of us have timezone minority... so you won't be anticipated to do extensive participation every single day to progress at a reasonable pace, as the time is there for your convenience! This is also an experiment to see how we can handle group progression without it stressing the players involved, so I'll take the things we learn from it to improve in the future!

PROGRESS: In order to move onto the next space, which will involve a die roll, each character will need to take part in the action in some shape or form! If the majority have completed a space, but they're waiting on one other character to finish and it's been a long while, we will allow everyone to progress to the next space! HOWEVER, you will still be able to backtag and play with the previous space! For this reason, I strongly encourage everyone to open their loving arms and embrace backtagging.

TIME: If you think you have to join late, or can only play for half of the time, or you know you'll be gone a few days, that's okay—just let everyone relevant know beforehand! ICly this will be handled smoothly—either your character suddenly joins the group through a trapdoor in the ceiling, or they inevitably got separated, and so forth. We'll handle/interpret it as it comes.

SPACES: The board game will consist of around 24 spaces, each one different from the next and disguised as rooms/areas/scenarios. If you majestically roll all 6's you'll only face 4 spaces. If you roll all 1's, you'll face... all 24 spaces. Let's be honest, I'LL HAVE AN IC MECHANIC TO KEEP EITHER FROM HAPPENING, so on average I'd say you're looking at anywhere from 6-8 spaces, give or take? It's up to chance! Anyway, the spaces on this board are tasks that need completed! It can be anything from "knock on that weird door and ask whatever answers for candy," or "carve a pumpkin and show everyone your results," or "you have to scare someone in your group," and so forth, so it'll be a combo of social things, interactive things, and chill creative stuff!

GROUPS: Characters will be playing in groups of 3-4! However, I've decided that I'll be randomizing groups. Much like the last labyrinth, everyone will get to see each other before the labyrinth begins, and after it's finished. The labyrinth's pre-mingle will be set-up like a Halloween party with some optional stuff to engage with on your own, in case you and your friends wind up in separate groups during the labyrinth but still want to be dumb together in a Halloween atmosphere.

PRIZES: Each character will receive a bag of treats... as well as a Halloween-inspired prize! It can vary between oddly useful to very useless.

Please comment to this post if you think you'll be playing in this labyrinth!

If you play 2+ characters and you'd play both/all, please mention that! And if you don't comment because you legitimately have no idea, but it turns out you can play, don't worry—you'll be able to, I just want a general headcount before the labyrinth ACTUALLY begins. ♥'
