What Will 2016 Lusternia's Theme Be?

Chirbo · March 2016

2015 was dreaming!

What do you think this year will hold?

What do you think would be cool to see?

Alseid · March 2016

Illithoid.

Lavinya · March 2016

I'd love to see the discovery of new cosmic planes.

Chirbo · March 2016

I want to see a god shard this year and become a playable race

(hello reincarnation dagger sales)

Daraius · March 2016

Well the new guilds are probably going to be a thing. My dream scenario also involves loboshigaru themed monks for Hallifax.

Thul · March 2016

Revolution.

It can culminate in the breaking of the Seal of Harmony. Or Chaos. Or some non-Nature seal for once.

Saran · March 2016

Yeah, expecting some form of upheaval that introduces factions

Shaddus · March 2016

Shaddus shards.

Shaddus shards.

help shaddites

Descended from a mythical mortal who grew himself to near cosmic standards by right of spirit alone, his descendants have been known to take on nearly any forme or personality with near-to-no guidelines on what they look like. See that centaur dragon aquamancer? Probably a Shaddite.

If you ever become bored with your surroundings you may simply EMBRACE SPARK to withdraw yourself from the public eye for a year and become a nameless rogue, only showing up as 'Traveller' on all examples of WHO. During this time you will only be able to utilise your trade skills under a pen name, and when the year is over you may assume a completely new identity of your choice.

PERKS:

o Level 1: Discreet. Due to your inherited guile, creatures have a 5% chance to become pacified upon attacking you, not really sure if it is you that they are mad at or one of your kin.

o Level 25: Watchman. 1/13 universal damage buff.

o Level 50: Team Player: You can place esssence into any nexus of your choosing, so long as it is in its correct state. (i.e. fire essence MUST go into the Eternal Flame)

o Demigod: Trademaster: You are now so skilled at design and craft that every attempt to make one design will yield two, effectively doubling your output.

o Demigod+: All-encompassing: You no longer require a link to a nexus to use it's organisaitonal abilities so long as you are not linked to another. Go wild! (i.e. Can use Aeromancy as a rogue, but not if residing in any city but Hallifax)

Synkarin · March 2016

I think Shaddus shards really just result in a change of pants

Kiradawea · March 2016

Ancient Gaudi/Celest bioweapons made from furrikin and elementalism.

I mean, sure it's unlikely, but if you'd asked me last year I never would've guessed that we'd make an orbital ion canon. O:-)

Arix · March 2016

All-dwarf oil wrestling

Have we ever had this? I don't think so.

And it'd be SUPER COOL.

Qistrel · March 2016

We kind of had @Hoaracle shard into the wildewood in an alternate future sort of that we averted except time travel and now we can become wildewood but they are sterile.

Though it was more him turning already exisiting people into wildewoods than making an entire new race of shards.

Gwenelle · March 2016

I'm okay with like Thax coming out and sharding.

Xenthos · March 2016

I don't think anyone sharding is going to give you exactly what you want; based on histories, it would take a few generations (so quite a bit of in-game time) before that race would have deviated far enough from the group-mind to actually be individuals. What you're asking for would involve some time shenanigans.

I know that I, for one, do not really relish the thought of Xynthinlings running around everywhere.

Rancoura · March 2016

Xynthinians, Xenthos. They're called Xynthinians.

And that would be awesome.

Shaddus · March 2016

Rifts from an alternate timeline open all over the planes. Squads of rampaging wombats swarm the planes, devouring almost anything they can eat. After a prolonged battle including forming wombat bait out of essence, all of the wombats are slain. Their droppings impregnate the Air and Fire Planes, causing Cloudberries and Black Lotus (stygian, the best!) To grow. The former reduces drunkenness and provides a bit of protection from fire, and the latter reduces timewarp and keeps you warm

Subotai takes them both and contrives new types of alcohol: bourbon and scotch.

Yarou · March 2016

lusternia's 2016 theme: the goats takeover.

Arix · March 2016

and then they all faint because someone let off fireworks

So Lusternia: Undertale?

Undyne is totally merian already after all.

Daraius · March 2016

I want to see an event where characters from Lusternian literature and theatre walk the streets and wreak havoc, but I don't actually know what majicks would cause such a disaster, nor what havoc literary characters could wreak. :-/
