Summer Camp 2022 Pledge

This is my quick and dirty last-minute totally planned and not-just-for-the-badge pledge for Summer Camp 2022! If you're reading this, hello, excuse the mess.  

Goal and motivation

First homework assignment  
  • Creative goal: this summer, I want to expand the world of Einya so that it's ready for a campaign by September. I'll use Summer Camp to do it!
  • Motivation: seeing the world come to life through shared storytelling is one of my favorite things. Plus, Einya was my first ever serious worldbuilding project, so it's like a little baby I'm watching grow up!
  • Challenge goal: I've been here since 2017 and the only time I got a gold award on Summer Camp was when I burnt out. So my goal is silver. If I feel inspired and I don't smell and burn outs on the horizon, I'll try to aim higher than that.
  • Prompt themes

    Second homework assignment   This is how the four prompt themes could fit Einya:  
  • Expanse: the sky! Einya's skies are filled with giant flying animals (flying turtle polar bear is my latest creation!), airships, and islands.
  • Leadership: power shenanigans are an important part of Einya. The School headmasters fight for power, the nation leaders try get by in a world of magic, and the Council of Archmages sits in their palace watching and scheming qquietly. So, lots of opportunities here.
  • Discovery: Certain factions of Einya have discovered that they are not alone in the universe and know of at least one other planet with intelligent life. They've been hiding it and no one outside their inner circles has gotten wind of it... yet.
  • Monstrous: magic is very active in Einya, and while this is great for some things, it's also terrible when it goes wrong and it accidentally (or purposefully) makes terrible creations! The Shivering and the Fire kiss are just two examples of the many horrors magic can create.
  • Materials and resources

    Third homework assignment   Turns out, I already made a mini-meta for Einya a couple of months ago! But since it's private, I won't get to read any of it, I'm afraid. See? Told you this was a quick and totally planned article!  

    Planning my writing sessions

    Fourth homework assignment   Let's get that diamondsilver!  
  • Writing plan: I plan to dedicate at least two hours a week to Summer Camp. It will be a busy summer for me, but a total of eight hours during the month should be enough to at least get silver. Plus, almost everybody in my RPG group are too busy to play so I'll have extra time.
  • My community of choice: World Anvil, of course! I'm also lucky to have several creative (and nerd) friends in real life that I'll definitely spam for inspiration.
  • And that's it!
