What kind of world are we playing in Multi Public

Earth as we know it where magic is secret
A human world where magic is known
A world filled with classic magical creatures (Elvs, gnomes, orcs)

What time era are we playing? Multi Public

18th century (Like Hogwards Legacy),
19th (like the Harry potter movies, before smartphones is a thing)?
20th (like our current time, with IT and tech. If so how does magic and tech interact

Hi hi! Cool for the invite.
I've read the book and it's simple enough to get it, but never played. So please forgive a few newbie mistakes.

Also, @runekyndig I can see the page you've labelled "This is just for my notes" not sure if that is the idea.





May I give a suggestion for

2. Our school is located ______. (After answering this prompt, pause to very briefly discuss how this impacts the interaction of the school and the world outside of the school.)


It all depends on if magic is secret or not. But if magic is secret, I could imagine the school being in a very remote place.
Like in a big magical underwater bubble on Atlantis. Or somewhere on south pole.

May I suggest a landmark?

A game students play (which isn't allowed by the way) is to take a bicycle and set it at the very top of the campanile.

Thank you for letting me join!!!
I have never played Kids on ??. I have skimmed the rules to get ideas but will start a deeper delve into it now.

I like this one minus the Piloting avatars. A magical game of Capture the Flag sounds fun...

Enchanted Artistry would teach students the magical art of bringing paintings and sculptures to life. Students would learn how to infuse their artwork with personality, movement, and even limited communication abilities.

BTW, I kind of like combing my idea with the example for the Headmistress. I agree that magic capture the flag minus the avatars sounds good

Also what continent do we want to be on?
Oct 26, 2023 1:48 pm
This is a good time to mention that I've never played the game before either.

What about a small island off the USA.
Could be even in the middle of one of the Great Lakes.


Hidden by magic.

I will change the school's name from Astoria Academy of Arcane Arts, to Avalon Academy of Arcane Arts.

The school, castle and grounds is on an island surrounded by mist. One must be ferried by a rowboat to find the island. Some left the shores of the Grate Lakes of America, while others left the shores of Ireland or Zebabwie. All had the same experience, they left the shores in a rowboat, sailed into the mists, and then the mist lifted the island of Avalon with its castle walls greeting them.

So pick what ever continent you want :D

Love the idea :)

Island is located in the Bermuda Triangle.
Magical mishap over the years caused all the legends.
Oct 26, 2023 10:52 pm
Love the misty Bermuda Triangle idea. You feel a sense of wonder and awe as the mist lifts and you are greeted by the school.

Before comitting further to this game, I'd like to ask something.

When it says 5 posts/week, how does that relate to the game speed?

What I am trying to say is, I can commit to a daily post. But I have found that games explode on GP.
You go of to work and when you return chatting to an NPC has suddenly changed to round 3 of combat or something.

Such events are quite draining my GP experience. So before committing to a game, I'd like to know if 5/week is a guideline of what we can expect or if it's more like flood-the-game-as-much-as-you-want-but-at-least-5-week.
