MEME ∞ INTRO & CR — June 2025

Meme ∞ Intro & CR
June 2025
Welcome!
It's time to introduce yourselves! Use the form below to get out there and start plotting. New and old players alike are encouraged to post to the Intro & CR.

A mingle log will be posted on June 8.

While we won't be doing intro/mingle logs every application round, we'll have one for the first two rounds (June and August) to help everyone get settled! You can also check out the Bulletin for information on weather, broadcasts, and incidents.

Notes
  • Characters can arrive in-game on any date throughout the month of the TDM. This means characters do not have to, and typically will not, arrive all at once. Arrivals will be scattered and more difficult to predict. Use this to stagger CR, give characters a couple weeks without seeing each other, or whatever you feel makes it interesting!
  • Since base AC is low, players need to make AC for their first month. TDM threads continued into the month are perfectly acceptable as long as the comments submitted take place in the current month.
Updates
  • We've made some updates to the Invites page to reflect the game's current player cap status and added a player cap count to the Taken page. Our player cap is formally 70 players. The FAQ has also been updated to reflect these changes.
  • A reminder that the 2 characters per round allocation was for the first round only. Moving forward, all players, current and new, can only apply for one character per app round. (You may still have a total of 2 characters.)

There are so many D&D races I don't blame you for not knowing LMAO. Yeah let him tell you about his DAUGHTER. if only he had a wallet he could show baby photos of Lyna...

thank god d&d is like ffxiv and i can easily google whatever i need to know, sweats... it doesn't help that the grand majority of fern's campaign is outside of faerun too

NOOOO HIS DAUGTHER ;; i'm so sad he doesn't have those, rip.


LMAOOOO POOR G'RAHA. the question is will ardbert even get it. he saw the hero worship at aria but having it directed at him will just have him like ????????????

LEGIT THO LOL. Also please tell G'raha all about Faerun and beyond?? He would be stoked. He's gonna have to take so many notes, man....

Me too...maybe he can get Alphinaud (or Alisaie HEH) to draw her for him.


Sorry Ardbert you're just getting STARRY EYES!! Happy tail swishes. wow you're so cool...if only he had been there before the flood of light....he heard stories...but YOUR stories must be better... #nopressure

HELP, she's not an expert by any means. she won't know what to do with his nerdiness but also it seems? harmless enough?

FJDKLAKFJ NOT ALISAIE... RIP... alphi should tho!!!


i honestly kind of love it because i feel like ardbert would expect g'raha to be wary of him, given the role that he and the other warriors of darkness played in the flood. obviously it wasn't their intention to destroy the first, but that's still kind of what happened, and he's used to being hated for it because of how history remembers them. so when g'raha is so bright-eyed and excited about getting to interact with him, he'll be very taken aback ;;

But she's lived it and that's pretty cool! I'm sure G'raha values personal accounts just as much as academic ones. Because, you know, nerds don't have biases...

I think they both should and he can keep both. Alphi's can go in his wallet and Alisaie's can go on the fridge in the collective motel room.


WEH, Ardbert. That makes sense though...he had such an awful, complicated end to his life and tale. G'raha's view is obviously not the same as Aria's given he doesn't have all the personal connection and backstory that WOL gets through SHB, but I'm pretty confident his beliefs on the WOL on the First are more nuanced. Even without Ardbert being a shard of the WOL, he knows VERY WELL stuff was orchestrated to come to an end and work against them. And getting to know Ardbert as a person will just 100% confirm that he was a good guy wanting to protect the people and world he loved. And, in the end...he did exactly that!

THIS IS TRUE. she can tell him a bit, then!! and maybe about barovia too because hoo boy.

i love him cherishing both, because of course he would LOL. although putting that on the fridge could cause some Moments between the twins...


YEAH, i mean, g'raha knows a lot more than the average person about how involved the ascians were in everything that happened to the first, so that makes sense! along with yeah, the fact that he's lived long enough to have seen firsthand how history sorta turned on them. :( it'll be really interesting for them to meet face-to-face! i think ardbert has a lot of feelings about all the good that g'raha did for the people of the crystarium.

PLEASE give him all the deets...he wants to hear the grand stories. Fern you're gonna be so cool.

I'm looking forward to all the twin chaos ngl. Can't wait for Ardbert to join in on that too!!

Oh man let G'raha tell Ardbert about how he wanted to design the Crystarium a lot like Sharlayan but also about the egalitarian society he always pictured as he described in his PHD Thesis--

Okay but for real, I wanna tag FERN! Am I okay to add to her onslaught on her TL?
