The Wardens

WHEW!!! With everything that has happened, we have hit Reverie's endgame! Let me give you all an OOC rundown of it all:

1) Typhon was DEFEATED and reduce to BABY ELDRITCH HORROR thanks to the overwhelming majority of characters in the game! His power was stripped of him, and the realm is no longer a prison, but a safe haven that characters may visit any time they wish. They merely need to open the Velvet Room door with their key, and then they can walk through it to get to Reverie again.

2) The international train will allow characters to visit worlds that do not belong to them! However, they can only do so with the world inhabitant's permission. This is just to keep anyone from going to another world and killing everyone, it's really not that strict on an OOC level.

3) All characters may purchase the Universe if they wish, giving them the ability to obtain the one thing they desired most in the world. Each character may purchase ONE universe card, just b/c that's an OP card and I can't give you FOUR wishes, cries.

4) YOU GUYS MAY CONTINUE TO PLAY IN THE COMMUNITY, IF YOU WISH! It is now an interdimensional hub where characters can meet and hang out, where no violence occurs, and where Typhon and Echidna's children will restart their lives (see: monster primary village). Any character who was in Reverie at any point in time has access to the Velvet Room key and can pop in for some fun threads. Just note that I will no longer be moderating the community, nor will I be posting event posts. You guys can do whatever in Reverie that is fun for you, though!

5) I THINK. . . THAT IS EVERTYHING?? Everything but my OOC gushing, which I will get to tomorrow probably, I'm still feeling BLECH from having food poisoning but JUST KNOW THAT I AM. . . SO ETERNALLY GRATEFUL FOR YOU ALL. Thank you once again for giving my game a chance, and for allowing it to end on a high note like this one. ;w;/ I will always reiterate that Reverie is what it is because of YOU and the choices YOU guys have made, ICly and OOCly, throughout the year and a half it's been alive. No game is good without a great player base, and I am so so fortunate and lucky to have each and every one of you ♥

STAY CHILL, EVERYONE. I WILL SEE YOU ALL ON THE OTHER SIDE OF DWRP.

Hello everyone! Happy weekend! TODAY I COME BEARING SCHEDULING INFO FOR THE UPCOMING GM GAME + ENDGAME.

1) The GM game post will be posted on Feb 15 at 5PM MT (4PM PST, 6PM CST, 7PM EST). It will run until Feb 21, and round timing and information will be included in that game post.

2) From Feb 22 - 28 you will have a free week to play with fallout.

3) A THING will happen on March 1. It's a small thing, but it will involve those tarot cards your characters received from confronting their Shadows. If your character didn't get one in that post, no worries! They will have a chance to receive one later on.

4) A midboss battle of sorts will run from March 2 - 9. There will be both combative and non-combative boss battle prompts in this post, and it will be self-paced so you can thread at your own leisure.

5) The final game will go up on March 12, and serve as the final confrontation with the Warden. It is not combat based and is instead a closed-room corny team bonding thing. An important decision will be given to the playerbase as a whole on this day, and the poll will be open for 24 hours.

6) The results of the March 12 game and a final farewell post will go up on March 13. At that point, I will cease overseeing the game. HOWEVER, the community will stay open for you guys to play in for as long as you'd like! The village of Reverie will become a sort of inter-dimensional hub that characters can visit at their own leisure, so you will be able to continue using the Reverie community as a sandbox if you'd like. YOU OF COURSE DON'T HAVE TO IF YOU DON'T WANT TO, I just wanted to keep the option for everyone just in case. ALSO, all character who were a part of Reverie at any point in time will be welcome to both participate in endgame and use the community as a sandbox.

AND. . . THAT'S ALL. Whew. Typing all this up fills me with a lot of feelings, but as usual I want to thank everyone for giving me a chance and sticking with me through the ups and downs of this journey ;w;/ I appreciate you all and I am so lucky and honored to have a playerbase like you. I SAY THIS LIKE LITERALLY EVERY TIME BUT I MEAN IT. I MEAN IT!!

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask in this post, through the mod email, or in the discord questions channel. ♥

ETA: SURPRISE PLACEMENT

CERBERUS:

Zhongli (Genshin Impact)

I will have more in-depth announcements once Kira's game ends! FOR NOW, A PLACEMENT--

TSUCHIGUMO:

Anita "Needy" Lesnicki (Jennifer's Body)

Oh my god I haven't done announcements for like three weeks, I'm so sorry.

1) HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE I HOPE YOU HAD A GOOD ONE!!! ♥

2) There's going to be a player plot (unrelated to Rev's overarching plot; this is just for fun) in January that will be tied to January's game! More information incoming as the player and I hash out details.

3) The next game after that will be Mid-February and will be a death game. It will be tied to endgame things and will signify the CLIMAX and FALLING ACTION of Rev's plot. More info incoming in the new year! ALSO I'M RUNNING IT, THUMBS UP.

4) Also I know that I really dropped the mod ball in both Nov/Dec, and I super apologize for that. I've been very slow with replies, and making people wait for like 10 days for a response from me is unacceptable u_u I am PROFUSELY sorry to all the players who emailed me and didn't get a reply until like 10 or so days later; I promise I am going to be better about it from now on! Admittedly, one of the reasons Rev is going into endgame is because I am losing steam on the roleplay front, but I'm super dedicated to giving you guys a satisfying ending and will keep pumping myself up until then. ♥ Thank you all for sticking it out as long as you have, and I am still hoping you will all hang with me until endgame ;w;/

5) REMEMBER: reapps are always open, and reaped characters will be placed on their previous teams! You can just post a comment like REAPP to the app page or smth and I will get you placed asap!

THAT'S ALL. AS USUAL I LOVE AND APPRECIATE YOU ALL blows kisses to my playerbase, weh. ;w;

HAPPY. . . MONDAY (sweats) EVERYONE! Announcements!

1) The next game will be a fun and lighthearted Holiday-themed CR building game run by Cal! It will run from December 3 - 9/10 I forgot which day she said don't look at me.

2) Plot things will trickle through in the form of mingle posts within the next week-ish There will be no plot things during Cal's game, ofc, and I none of the plot things are huge things you MUST BE AROUND FOR. They will be engage-at-will, on-your-own-time, so don't feel bad if you're busy!

3) I feel like I had something else but I can't remember? HELLO. I LOVE U ALL.

4) OH RIGHT: remember apps will close to new people/characters on December 3! If you want to app someone new, you have less than a week to do so!

OKAY PLACEMENT TIME

( PLACEMENT )

Hello everyone! I'm making this post mid-week as it contains an extremely important announcement:

Reverie will be going into endgame very soon, with a projected game closure of no earlier than February 2023 and no later than March 2023.

This means the game's plot is going to be ramping up in the next few months, kicked off by a few player-led initiatives, with everything culminating in February/March of next year to allow the game's story to end and the game itself to close. I've been thinking about this for a while now; with my dwindling RP energy, it is getting hard for me to moderate a game of Reverie's size. I initially created this game with a story I wanted to tell (with the help of all of my friends and everyone who has append into it!), and I really want to see that story through! I feel as though it is best to use the ideas players have come up with to help propel the game towards an official and satisfying ending, rather than allowing it to burn out entirely.

I have truly enjoyed my time moderating this game, and I am so so lucky to have had so many amazing friends and players app into it and make it the colorful and fun place to play that it is. I really, really didn't think I would get as much interest as I have gotten, nor did I think the game would be as successful as it's been. We are still around over one year later, and that makes me feel so honored that you'd all trust me as a mod and play around in my li'l creation with your own characters, plots and ideas. I want to stress that I just provided a li'l backdrop for you all to run with– you have all shaped the game into what it is today, and I intend to allow you all shape endgame and Reverie's big finish in the same way!

SO, NOW THAT THAT'S OUT OF THE WAY, let's talk a bit about how things will go for the next three to four months:

( ENDGAME TIMELINE )

I think that's all for now! I have a comment on this post for questions, if you need to ask any; please feel free to drop them here and I will answer them when I can. ♥

Again, thank you everyone for making Reverie such a great game, and making my first true modding experience wonderful and fantastic. I owe it all to you guys; this place never would have existed if you hadn't given me the chance. I'm really stoked to end things for Rev on a high note, and look forward to seeing what you all come up with.

MUCH LOVE,

Your mod, Al. ♥

SOME QUICK THINGS:

1) There will be a fun and light Halloween post tomorrow! It is 100% optional and will have no trauma whatsoever; we just gotta celebrate the holiday somehow!

2) Remember there is a trauma game this coming weekend, November 4 - 7. Sign ups are over here, but it's not necessary to sign up before playing.

3) I'M RESPONDING TO MOD EMAILS TODAY I PROMISE ;w;/

Anyway, placements!

( PLACEMENTS )

Happy Sunday everyone!

1) PLEASE NOTE: we received like six apps in a row from new players (which is very exciting!!), but the game only had three open slots this weekend, so I was only able to place about half of you ;w; I did so on a first come, first serve basis, so everyone was placed in the order in which I received their apps. I apologize to our new apps for the wait, but hopefully it won't be long until you all are placed. Thank you in advance for your patience ;o;

And with that I've got nothing else b/c I've been slacking. . . slightly in the mod-scheduling department, BUT I do hope to have another game + a fun little player-initiated plotty thing scheduled within the next week or so, depending on my energy levels. Thank you for your patience on that front too ;w;/

AND NOW, PLACEMENTS

( PLACE )

GREETINGS GAME! I had a bit of a rough day so I didn't get everything I intended to get, but! I do have some ANNOUNCEMENTS and PLACEMENTS for you!

1) HAPPY ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY REVERIE!!! I never thought the game would last an entire year, much less garner the interest and activity it has gained over the past twelve months, and every day I am honored you all gave me a chance as a mod. I certainly have not been a perfect mod; mistakes have been made and lessons have been learned, but so long as you are all having fun, then I'm super happy. Thank you so much for playing with me! ♥ ;w;/

2) SPEAKING OF ONE YEAR BIRTHDAYS, I do have a cute and lighthearted anniversary post I am going to make after the body swap game! That should be next week, around the 10th. Stay tuned!

3) In further celebration of the one year anniversary of Reverie, next week I will be implementing our ver last new team!! The new team's name will be UNICORN and will be a darker shade of pink (brink pink, #fb607f!). The team may not start out at a full 10 characters, but that's okay! If you have a pending app and are interested in being on a new team, please let me know by next weekend!

4) PLEASE REMEMBER TO FILL OUT AC BY OCTOBER 7TH. Here is your link!

OTHER THAN THAT, I'VE GOT NOTHING. HERE'S PLACEMENTS.

( PLACEMENTS )

Hello everyone! And now I am ready to write up the plot debriefing and announcements. I once again want to thank everyone for participating; I had a BLAST doing this plot from a mod's perspective, and hope you all had fun too!!

So now I'd like to talk a little bit about what I want to do now that this plot is over c: Some things are going to be implemented ASAP, while others will be implemented in the near future once I find a good time to make an IC post announcing same. SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO–

( DEBRIEFING )

SO THAT'S ALL I'VE GOT. Once again, thank you so much for playing in my game, which is about to be one year old (!!!). I can't believe we've come this far, and I've had a wonderful time modding for you all. I'll be using this upcoming week to hash out the game schedule + get something planned for our one year anniversary, so stay tuned for next week's announcements for more information about those things.

♥ HAVE A GREAT DAY Y'ALL
