Mischievous ghosts and goblins have been seen lurking around the lands, jumping out to give Tricks or Treats! These spirits awaken for a few weeks during the fall and then return to their otherworldly plane. During this time, characters can interact with them for a bit of fun (or fright!). Most of these ghouls are benign and simply want to give a little spook to those they encounter. Some are more dangerous, so be careful!
Use the Halloween Plotting channel in discord to sign your thread up for a Trick or Treat encounter. Any thread started October 1st - November 10th will be eligible. A volunteer will use the NPC account to play a ghost, ghoul, goblin, or other spooky creature to give you an encounter.
Who can play the NPC?Anyone can volunteer to play the NPCs.
What if I don't want to participate? Only threads posted in the Halloween Plotting channel will get an encounter. If your thread got signed up but you don't want to participate, simply flee the area.
What sorts of things happen? Up to the players. We encourage little pranks, jump-scares, a few dangerous encounters, giving of candy and treats.
Are there any notable ghosts we should know about? YES! A famous Halloween spirit that all characters are free to recognize (and play as an NPC): SPOOKY JACK! Spooky Jack appears as an all black wolf or an all black cat with white skeleton markings and orange eyes. His form can transform between various shapes, but always appears black with skeleton markings. Spooky Jack is a ghoul of mischief and fun and will often lead the other ghosts in spooky pranks before giving out candy.
I'm not sure what my characters should do?: Anything you want. Maybe a spooky walk after night? investigating a graveyard? playing hide and seek? Fighting off an angry poltergeist!
