True enough - because you know some people might not happen to have a costume that might fit that setting, and might like to procure one.

I should also be coming but I would like to know what kind of costuming I would need. I would also wonder is there going to be actual nexus besides the journey.

Count me in.  I look forward to seeing how an all-Journey weekend works.

Depending on whether I got your meaning of "how it works" right:

This was designated as High Host Dominance-- therefore Low Avatar Dominance-- so your Avatar will essentially be trapped watching a first person point of view 3-D movie all weekend. Though there could aways be subtle differences, Biltriz defined the usual parameters of Level One (lowest) Avatar Dominance as:

"No influence over host, few memories of Journey afterward, some danger of host personality overtaking Avatar."

The last two points, how much the Avatar remembers and whether the host personality takes over upon return to the Nexus are usually player decisions to have fun with as they see fit. 

The other variables have not been stated, so we don't know if the Avatars will be able to recognize each other's Nexus identities, or just House auras, or even be able to tell which Journey character is hosting an Avatar at all (Avatar Recognition).  Or if the Avatars will be able to communicate mentally (Avatar Commmunication) which would be really useful while trapped in hosts but also very unusual for Low Avatar Dominance worlds.  It's best to assume none of this is going to be possible.  And I'll bet good money that Host Shifting is right out. Smiley

How it works experience-wise is points will likely only get awarded for playing the host character.  While you can have a Nexus scene or two behind closed doors, and these will be assumed to have happened before or after the event, it is greatly preferred that you do not play your Avatar in the function rooms, halls or other public spaces.  He'll be inside your host, watching, but not in control.

And don't forget that on journeys, if your host dies, then you get no exp, no matter what you may have already accomplished.






In case you are an EP whore... Don't play the suicidally stupid hero...

In case you are an RP whore... Do play the suicidally stupid hero...

I will be playing Cutthroat, watching his host. Suicidally Herioc Stupid Otter... No telling what kind of whore I am gonna be.  Grin

Hmmm, is this really where I want to post. Oh Well. ...... I was thinking it will be similar ep wise to the Lugosicon where we played the High School students. In that, you did not lose EP because you died, as long as it fit in your character profile and the RP that led up to it was good. It would be kinda harsh to play spectacularly all weekend, then because of someone's stupidity, you died just before the end. Just my 2 cents.

I'll have the record show that when I'm bragging on the RP abilities of our Avatars, the fact that a certain somebody played one of the edgiest, most over-the-top characters I've ever written with dignity and compassion ALWAYS comes up.  :-D

Not every chaplain can say he gets lauded as an actor for having played a whore. :-D
