Sorry for disappearing, guys. Work threw me a curve-ball and I was not prepared at all. The AC for this month has officially ended, but since I've been absent during the course of it, if you missed AC but still want to play, just let me know.

I've noticed that we've been slow lately. I'd love more suggestions on how to get things going, and what you guys have liked, things that have worked, and things that haven't.

On that note, for the next few Night posts, I'd like to try out something a little new: living nightmares. You can each pick one nightmare that your character has, and each night going forward, everyone else will experience that.
Say, for example, that it's Morgana's night. Her greatest nightmare is being discovered as a sorceress in Camelot. The setting, of course, wouldn't be Camelot, but the people will react in the same way. There will be a general agreement amongst the NPCs that magic is bad, and anyone who practices it should be put to death.

Moreover, all characters during Morgana's nightmare will suddenly have her magic. However, they won't know how to control it. Even those who may already be skilled in their own forms of magic in their own worlds will be baffled by their new abilities. Running around in a world that hates magic with magic that you can't control? Now that's scary.

Finally, because this is Morgana's personal nightmare, she will somehow be emotionally linked to everyone else around her. If they are within a few feet of her, even if they're not directly interacting with her (so your character could be a street down with no knowledge that she's even there), whatever she feels will be magnified 2x in them. If she's anxious, your character will suddenly feel extra anxious. If she's afraid, your character may suddenly (and very much literally) become paralyzed with fear.
There will be one thread to list your character's nightmare if you wish to participate in the plot. Otherwise, feel free to use this post to plot away with others!

(And thank you to Kimmie for the plot idea.)

We hope you're enjoying everything so far! We're always open to suggestions/feedbacks, so let us know your thoughts!

The purpose of today's post is to discuss NPCs. What are your thoughts on having a few more defined NPC presences? (Maybe a mayor, someone who is head of the most prominent gang, etc...) all NPCs would only appear at night (for now...) and people of authority in the city, and would be more or less available-upon-request type thing. They would most likely not be able to answer any of the big questions (what's going on, where are we, what is the meaning of life) but may also be able to help with smaller, night-to-night interactions (sheriff helps fight a monster, prominent business man helps get you a job, etc.)

Would you like NPCs, and if so, which ones would you like to see, or not have to deal with them at all?
