CYOA
LET'S GO TO THE MALL
A CYOA (Choose Your Own Adventure) is a plotted event that is threaded/completed in private in which specific characters can obtain plot-relevant information or exclusive items. Players sign up and are assigned to groups. The groups will then go on an adventure, which is threaded out, and based on meeting certain conditions may receive plot information, special items, or may face injury or death.

uturns, there are two types of CYOAS:MOD RUN
A mod-run CYOA will be completed over Discord at certain time slots. Each mod-run CYOA can be expected to run roughly 2-3 hours - please do not sign up for a slot unless you are available during the majority of the time period. Mod run CYOAS will have a final writeup but will not be threaded out. Players may feel free to thread the events at their discretion in PCs if they so choose. Consequences and rewards will be available as usual, including injury, death, and special items!
A player-run CYOA is a more traditional, privately threaded plotted event DM'd by a player in the game. There will still be opportunities to gain plot info or items, and there will also be a risk of injury or death. What happens in them will be up to the players who submit proposals, with some input and assistance from the mod team.
Player CYOAs must be completed by the Thursday of that week at 11:59PM. We do not guarantee every player will have a chance to participate in a CYOA, but will try our best to accommodate where we can!
PLAYER RUN
Players who would be interested in running a CYOA for a group of 2-3 other players can submit a proposal below. Similar to signing up for a CYOA, players who sign up to run a CYOA should be sure of their schedule for that week and that they will be able to tag fairly consistently. Although the deadline for proposals is at Monday at 6 PM EST, we encourage you to sign up even earlier if interested so the mods can help you coordinate.
To submit a proposal, you only need a rough outline of what you intend to do in your CYOA. Your CYOA should be something related to your character, their memories, or their canon in some way, but beyond that, it is flexible. You might take inspiration from an episode of your character's canon, or a certain level in the game they come from, or you might simply allow players to explore a place familiar to them.
The important thing a proposal should include is tasks players can accomplish, challenges they have to overcome, and and objectives they should achieve. You can also include danger or the chance to fail. Make sure what you want the players to do is something that they can accomplish before the Friday deadline. This will be a hard OOC deadline, and any threads that aren't wrapped up by then won't be able to be backtagged further.

CYOA SIGNUPS
Week 1 slots are more general, while Week 2 has specific time periods due to mod availability. Please see the form for more information!
PLAYER CYOA PROPOSALS
Please keep in mind that you cannot run a player CYOA the same week you participate in a mod-run CYOA, though you may sign up for both!
Character name: Who are you playing?
Player contact: Your Disco
Proposal: Please provide a rough outline of what you plan to do in your CYOA. The proposal should be something related to your character and their canon, their past, or their memories, but the association can be rough. The premise should give the participating players a place to explore and tasks to accomplish.
Participants: If you already have participants in mind (and have talked to them OOC), please list them here. Otherwise, if your proposal is picked, the mods will arrange participants from the CYOA sign-ups pool.
