WHAT'S NEW?

UPDATED CALENDAR IS HERE.

PAGES

We have a whole new page for the tablets to explain functionality and gaming. It’s HERE.

CAST CAP

Initially, we added a Persona franchise cap (15 characters) because the mods were concerned that one type of media/franchise might take over the game. But Expiation has grown a lot since then! Thus, we’ve decided to remove that franchise cap, starting with June’s application round. We still have a CANON cap of 10 characters per canon, and we’ll be sticking to that, treating each Persona game as an individual canon from here on out, unless we feel the need to reassess.

GAME CAP

As we near the 70 player cap in the game, we want to reiterate that this cap won’t be raised if we hit it. In the case that we do, we’ll skip the app cycles for new players until we feel as if there’s enough spots for an app round. For those that are new here, because this is a capped game, there is no strike system for AC.

THIS MONTH IN ALDRIP

PLAYER PLOT

Din, who plays Spock, will be running a player plot in May. Spock will be trying to make a computer system of his own. Details are forthcoming, so stay tuned!

WEATHER

Spring is in the air this month! Aldrip is quite warm, the crops are flourishing, and flowers are in peak bloom season. There may be periods of heavy rain, but overall, the weather is a pleasant change from the cold winter months. Although… There seem to be some yellow clouds floating here and there in the city. Pollen, infamous for causing sneezing and sniffling, has descended upon Aldrip, unfortunately. Monsters and local flora are not immune to this, either…but it seems to have strange effects on them! High pollen days may find some monsters uncharacteristically drowsy, like they want to sleep their misery away. On the other hand, plants may become a bit more…hmm, aggressive? Effusive? They’re growing like crazy, with vines, flowers, mushrooms, and moss slowly encroaching on homes and businesses. Time to get out the garden shears before they take over! But they’re just plants. It’s probably fine.

NPC / MONSTER UPDATES

Troubles continue to occur around the docks, and with the weather warming up, they begin to become more prevalent. Several NPCs have put up postings (which show up on notice boards as well as digitally on the tablets) asking for help bringing in petty thieves who have been stealing from nearby businesses and homes, as well as a few vandals who have been trying to sabotage boat-building efforts in town.

With the spring-like weather, the monsters are starting to stir as well. Monsters at the outskirts of the city may attack NPC and Chosen alike, and that will be listed like the other ads on the tablets. Rein those guys in! At least, the more aggressive ones.

Players (new and old alike!) are encouraged to bring animals and monsters from their canons into Aldrip! You may comment on the monster page if you wish to bring some of them into the game.

SO MUCH LOVE

We're absolutely floored from the amount of apps we got from this cycle! We're so happy to see our game grow and see everyone bringing their friends, and the fact that we're even talking about almost hitting cap is a wild thing. Thank you all for being awesome!!

And because I had to do it to em-
