PLOT IDEAS↴ Sometimes, the player knows best - so this is the page for submitting your plot ideas, suggestions, and proposals for the mods to look at! Lost Carnival is always open to the idea of player plots, and plans to even go as far as letting players run entire world tours, if they are so inclined. Here is an idea of what you could use this page for:
Asking for approval to run a self contained event or plot that will involve a large number of characters or make an impact on the rest of the game.
Inquiring about timing and logistical concerns regards mod plots that are currently being run.
Submitting ideas for worlds you'd like the carnival to visit, or general ideas that you'd like to see more of.
Submitting a proposal for a tour of a world that you'd like to plan and moderate! This is best used for if you'd like the carnival to go to the world your character comes from, which the mods may not be familiar with. We would be happy to accommodate something like this, but of course we would be unable to moderate a setting we are unfamiliar with ourselves.
Asking for permission to do things to NPCs or asking about what NPCs are going to do to you.
Anything else plot related!
Comment are currently unscreened, though if you want to keep a plot secret we can take it to a private channel instead. Otherwise, we'd like to leave it open so that the community has an idea of what is on the table, and so they can second ideas that they like.
World idea: giant magical library. Yup, that's all it is, books everywhere. Big enough the students roped into curating it talk about some sections like you talk about climbers dying on the ascent to Mt Everest. No real solid idea of what would be there, but I'm thinking something like a cross between Pagemaster, Discworld, and that weird library in the Chronicles of Narnia where you could read books about your life.
Why is a carnival there? Who knows, libraries need entertainment too. Especially the sentient books, which just might whisper you their secrets if you please them enough...
Performing for books? That sounds like exactly what the carnival needs. This sounds like something very game appropriate so your idea has been HEEDED and I'll think about how to make something like that work!
Popping back in here before I forget ... I don't know how it'd work either, but adding an (optional) RNG element could be fun? Something like the Fairy Tale Meme to determine a 'role' and add a 'genre' (Horror/Romance/Mystery/etc) and characters are obliged to act it out accordingly (and will find themselves temporarily transformed during the duration, etc).
Visually, I'm also really envisioning it being like the Hundred Acre Wood segment of Kingdom Hearts.
