Pieces Net

We will be restarting on October 17th.

To current members - If you haven't done so already, please let me know whether you are still interested in playing.

♣ Wait, what?

Your character has been sucked into a pocket dimension along with a piece of the area they were in when they found the book.

If you really want to know why look up the Dreamcast game called Timestalkers. There are differences but, the motivations are pretty much the same.

♣ Plot?

There is a simple plot that there is no hurry to resolve.

Most of the plot will be player driven. This means not much will happen unless you make it happen.

Have character react to the setting, attempt to take over, explore, etc.

No finding the book. That happens only at the end.

♣ What kind of characters can we play?

Characters from most official canons and original characters. Please no crack muses or characters from shows aimed at very young children.

Original characters may not have previous connections to canon characters.
Original characters from Earth or an Earth like world (AKA someplace that has the technology for whatever game/movie/show that they come from) may be familiar with some of the canon characters stories though they will be unable to speak of it. There may be a way for your character to get around this. It can be different for character but, it will be something traumatizing and you must have mod approval.Note- Please limit the series your character is familiar with to Two.

Multiples? Alternate universe?

Yes to both. Up to three versions of a character will be allowed. However, one person will not be allowed to play more than one version of a character.

♣ How does time pass in game?

Two weeks real time = one week game time.

Back dating is also allowed.

♣ What kinds of places can my character bring?

A house, part of a city or town, forest, plains, mountains. Pretty much anything but, not too big a piece.

Dungeon areas are crawling with monsters. Other than that they can be any type of area.

♣ Monsters
Only show up in dungeon type places and are usually unable to leave them. What monsters show up depend on what world the place they are found comes from. So if you are in a place that came from FF12 there will be FF12 monsters there.

Some places may not have had monsters before being brought here. These places can have any type of monsters.

Monsters will occasionally drop random items along with the normal money or items they normally would.

♣ Communication?
Your character may find a device connected to a network soon after arriving. A laptop/cell phone/magic journal or whatever.

They will use that to post to piecesofworlds

For face-to-face interactions or any adventures, solo or as a group, post in the log community pieces_logs. This is not required. You can simply have your character post about these adventures in the main community if you want.

For out of character stuff such as hiatus announcements or random stuff you'd like to share there is pieces_ooc

♣Supplies?

If a place has a working kitchen basic foodstuffs will regenerate. Anything that could be considered a luxury item must be bought. Spices, chocolate, other candies, teas besides basic black tea, good coffee.

Characters will only have what clothes they bring. So unless their world piece has their clothes they will have to buy spare from the shop.

Mabe village shop stocks most things but, may not have the exact things most characters are used to.

♣ If you have any questions not answered, please ask them here.

Due to the almost complete lack of activity from more than half its members, Pieces will be closed until further notice.

This will likely be temporary.

I plan to rewrite some of the rules and most of the information to be more clear. It shouldn't be more than a few weeks before I've made all the changes.

Suggestions are welcome and I will try to answer any questions you might have about my decision.

The pieces are finished being rearranged and the Places post has been updated.

The cameo event will begin on August 1st and end on the 14th. For those two weeks you may put into Pieces any character you don't already play here. No application is necessary as they are only temporary. Only a few things are needed for these characters. Who they are, what canon they come from and when they are from.

I will put up a general post in pieces_logs for those who don't want to join the communities with their temporary character just for the event.

The pieces these characters bring will be smaller than the normal ones. About the size of a tennis court at the largest.

Whether or not your cameo character has been told that they are only going to be stuck for a short time is up to you. Other than that Mr. Cloak will not be speaking to them and he will not appear in any logs during the event.

Any questions?

There will be a severe blizzard for the next two in game days. There will also be a bunch of ice elementals out among the various pieces during this time. They are of several different varieties. Some are dangerous, some are not. It would only be an issue if someone is foolish enough to go out during the storm.

After the blizzard the temperature will begin to rise and Spring will begin within the next few weeks.

A new world piece has appeared to the West of Destiny Island. The area is taken from The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening.

It is a rectangle shaped area containing two buildings. The two buildings on the right of this image and the grassy area between them.

On the North end there is a small shop. A picture of the inside. Theft from this shop will result in being zapped to death the next time the thief sets foot inside. The shop keeper will also buy things from the player characters.

On the South end there is a shop with a crane game inside.

The shopkeepers remain in their shops as NPCs, they will accept whatever currency the characters have and the goods are more diverse than in the game they come from.

Any questions?

The barriers that prevent monsters from leaving their areas have returned.

The monsters left outside them will remain until they are defeated... or do something stupid like fall off the edge. >.>

The sky has become overcast, the temperature has dropped below freezing and it will snow lightly on and off for a week or two. After a while there will be occasional heavy snow. All areas are affected whether or not they would normally have snow in winter.

The rain has dwindled to a very light drizzle and will disappear completely within the next few in-game days.

January 19th and 20th will be October 31st in game.

And that means Halloween~


For in game Halloween there will be two things-

Some of the pumpkins mentioned in previous mod posts will be the heads of little Trick-or-treating phantoms. They can be in costumes but, will always have a pumpkin head.

Encounters with the Trick-or-treaters can go in any direction you want. From just getting a piece of candy and leaving, to not getting candy and attacking whoever they ask. I will not be NPCing them.

You can write out a log of the encounter or just have your character mention it in a journal post. Or both or even neither if you're not really interested.

Then later there will be a log post with the description and general abilities of a monster.

I only plan to NPC this monster in regards to what if anything it does to my character but, I will have it do something to shake things up a little if the log stalls for more than a day.

Beyond that, as long as things are not too far out of it's listed abilities have it do whatever you want as long as it doesn't clash with what other players are doing. There is going to be only one of it after all.

Comment here if you have any questions or suggestions about this specific event.
