June OOC Introduction Post




WELCOME TO DEERINGTON!









Hello new players, and hello old players with new faces! We're thrilled to have you in the game and we hope your time here is horrifically wonderful! Please feel free to use this space to introduce yourselves to one another and show off your new characters! Below is some useful information for all new players of the game and how you can expect the game to function! You certainly do not need to read it in order to plunge into the game, but we felt it might prove useful for some people and help you adjust to how the game works quicker!









EVENTS AND MEMES


We have an IC Prelude Post made by our NPC, the Dog Keeper, in the DeerFeed community. This functions as an edition of the Deerington Post that all characters are ICly capable of receiving. It will give hints and suggestions to what you can expect from the upcoming event without giving full details, and it also clarifies things like the weather in Deerington or other important IC details for the month, such as severe impacts on characters or the environment. Prelude Posts are made at the first of every month.

We hold one event per month. Many of our events have a lasting impact on characters that will sometimes carry over a month or two after the original posting. We always clarify what parts of these events may carry over, and even as a new player, you may be able to access certain elements from events posted before you were in game! Events can be found in the [community profile] deerington community and carry over events will be linked in the new event posts for reference.

We provide content warnings for each of our events. Each event typically has a specific horror focus, and some events may be more specific than others. Please make sure to read the content warnings closely. All of our events are specifically designed so players can feel comfortable opting out of any of the events without completely missing out on what's going on. Never feel you have to engage with any part of an event that makes you uncomfortable!

With every event we post a plotting post so that everyone can dig in on what they want to plan for the event. This is posted at the same time as the event.

We have a CR meme that is posted every other month. This encourages people to make long-term plans with each other as well as catch up on what characters might be going through in the game!

Our Test Drive Meme is posted on the 25th of every month. All TDM events can be used in game canon! You can also use direct TDM posts as AC! 10 points for a top-level (new characters only), 3 points per log comment, 1 point per network comment (all players).

Our Activity Check always begins on the first and closes on the fifth. Please remember to comment to this post so you can submit your AC! One of our players has made a helpful tracker for those who may be interested!



USEFUL LINKS AND INFORMATION

While we have provided you with your essential links for joining the game, we have compiled a useful list of links you might be interested in for further immersion of the game!

The Dog Keeper: The Dog Keeper is probably the most interactive and consistent of the NPCs in our game. You can actively contact and communicate with the Dog Keeper, but don't always expect an immediate response! Heck, sometimes he won't respond at all. You can find further information about the Dog Keeper here and more about his dogs here.

The Deerly Beloved App: This was a "dating application" made for the game back in the 2019 February Event. The application is a bit of a hacking-app that will break itself into a character's phone and potentially use fourth wall information to make up a silly Tinder-style profile. Feel free to put this on your journal for your character and have fun with it! It is 100% optional.

The Bestiary: This is a good reference to the beasts your character may be able to interact with inside of the game. Some of them are very situational or location based, but we have provided the monsters that might routinely be seen throughout the game. Feel free to dig right into playing around with them!

Game Calendar: Most of our posts are consistently made the same dates every month, such as our AC and our applications, but we make sure to post when game-events can be expected! Most game events are made between the 11th to the 15th. We try to update the calendar at least one week before the end of each month.

Death Certificates: This will help you keep track of your character's deaths in game as well as any symptoms they might be experiencing. Most new characters won't have to worry about this but heck, what do we know? Maybe you'll want to get to dying sooner than most!


We hope our information has been helpful! As always, feel free to ask any questions you may have, and we hope you have fun!

Fern shows up towards the end of the show, in season 8 I think.

I'm excited to toss Fern at Loki! Tell him all your cool hero stories! And pranks!

Riku!

Hello hello! I'm new, too, my name is Chase and I'm playing Quentin from The Magicians, who is a lot less outwardly angsty than Riku but can definitely relate to the 'desperately trying to be a hero' dealio. I just finished Pirates fo the Caribbean land in kh3 and I aim to be finished by the end of next week so no worries on spoilers!

I'm delighted there's a KH cast around I can bug, mind if I add you on plurk?

Your description sounds absolutely delightful and i need to catch up on supernatural, apparently, omg.

Hello hello! Your description of him sounds absolutely fantastic, and I'd love to get some CR! Quentin's a Magician, and while he's only partially versed in demons (he had one inside him as a just-in-case-something-attacks-release-it sort of way, not in an exorcism way) he's all about that witchcraft life, even if it's done a little differently. Plus, Ben seems like a book nerd and Q is very much also one! Mind if I add you on plurk?

a mollymauk be still my heart!

I'm just getting into Critical Role with the second campaign and I'm in love. I'm not very far yet but I do know a lot of the spoilers, mostly concerning Molly.

Play Quentin from The Magicians, who is a huge DnD nerd. It's debated in his canon whether some nerdy Magician figured out a way to make Magic Missle real, or Magic Missle was a Magician's spell imported to the game--it's a Whole Thing. I'd love for some CR with these two!

Namine is so soft and precious I can't wait to tag her ;; I'm Chase, and I just joined too with Quentin from the Magicians. Q's definitely going to want to make sure she's okay because she looks so young and he can definitely relate to being warped to a new, scarier place. He's sort of become an expert at this point. Mind if I add ya on plurk?

Also the icon you used to intro her made me laugh irl, i was not expecting that!!

I really liked the few tags we bandied about on the TDM, and thanks for tagging me How do you feel about continuing that/making it 'canon'?

Also, is it cool if I add you on plurk?

Hello Cass! I somewhat belatedly welcome you to Deer Town! I'm Charley and I play Lance from Voltron. Full disclosure/warning, he has a thing against mullets so clearly I need to throw him at Billy.

Welcome to the game!

hi trace! I'm Charley and I play Lance from Voltron who has tight CR with Chloe and a little bit with Max as well because I love Life is Strange so I'm of course going to be invading your inbox as well!

WELCOME TO DEERINGTON

Hello Chase! I'm Charley and I play Lance from Volron here, I have only seen the first couple episodes of the Magicians but I think that's enough for me to know I like ur dude so far! and Lance has pretty good CR with Josh as well so I'd love for him to get to know Quentin at some point!

Welcome to the game!

Hi Lausanne! I'm Charley and I play Lance from Voltron! Lance knew the last Eliot a tiny bit before he poofed out of Deerington, and though he was more of an acquaintance he'd liked him well enough to be glad he's back!

I really look forward to playing with you, and welcome to Deeringto!

I'm really enjoying the TDM so far and would love to continue/make it game canon. I'm really far behind on watching The Magicians, but I'm rapidly catching up. Your Q is great. :3

and yes! Please do add me! Let us plot further.

chris im gonna lose it you cant just do this to me (hi this is javid)

also teth (this character) briefly met a molly in their previous game so they MIGHT just latch onto him instantly as like one of the extremely few familiar faces around, if you are cool with that?? they only met once but uh molly makes an impression as im sure you're aware.
