On Tuesdays, the guild hosts 1-2 hour RP/social gatherings/character building workshops for interested people and hosted by our RP-enthusiast officer, Ellendar. This week's took the form of a beachside luau along the sandy shores of tropical Stranglethorn Vale, just north of Booty Bay. I rather enjoy these as they provide a nice change of pace from my usual somewhat obsessively maniacal "must get all the pets, power, and gold" mentality. I also like seeing how well I can dress to fit a theme. I think I nailed the Jungle Explorer-ready-to-party vibe fairly well. [insert discord pic here]
Between tropical drinks and roasted meat, we danced around the bonfires and had a grand ol' time. Fishing and trivia contests rounded out the festivities and we delved into the rich lore behind STV, combining both fact and fancy as it came to the native troll and pirate populace. I think all total we had 12-14 people show up, which is a pretty typical turnout for a niche event. It's definitely a shift from my previous guild when we'd be lucky to have half that number online at any given time.
For my birthday I picked up Volumes 1-3 of Chronicles, which is an absolutely lovely hardbound series that codifies and explores every aspect of the history and lore behind Warcraft's universe, written by Chris Metzen, the former SVP of Story and Franchise Development, with quite delightful illustrations throughout. It is my sincere hope I'll be able to stop pet battling long enough to read them.
