Both the RP's I advertised above are still open, details are in the top post, should either sound interesting to you.

The Norroburry RP sounds pretty fun, so I'd like to join in on that. should I read through part 1, just in case?

Considering your character would join 'late' IC as well, there's not much more information needed than that it's a quest to go find cats for some elderly lady in Norroburry. You could still read through it if you want, but it'd not be needed. Otherwise you could just go to meet up with the quest-giving NPC or run into some of the PC's already questing to ask for extra information.

got it, cheers.
Is it fine to just jump in with a post in the thread later on?

Yep. Let me know if you need to know anything else ahead of time and if not, either just post arriving or end your post at encountering one of the player characters or going to meet up with the NPC in question and we'll get you written into the story from there. Seeing how last round was almost four days ago already, the next narration will be tomorrow (CET), though if you can't make that, starting a round later wouldn't be the biggest issue. Daddy Dream and Faynorae are going to join newly with their characters as well, so if you want, you could ask if your characters would've arrived together or not as well.

Idea interested in joining up

My apologies but not at this time. Was just curious about the post regarding a character sheet contest so I checked it out.

 

[Novama]

Okie doke. Feel free to join up when ready for a good time xD

 

[Youpi Version 2.0]

I was here before, didn't stay long. A shameful deserter but I hope I can make a come back :3

I was here before, didn't stay long. A shameful deserter but I hope I can make a come back :3

Anyone can come back at any time really. If you need some help, just gotta ask.

 

[Ersatra]

Are there any narrators available for a quick 1 week rp where the goal is for my character to acquire a mine in Ryke?

 

[Novama]

Passed the word along.

 

[Elvario]

Are there any narrators available for a quick 1 week rp where the goal is for my character to acquire a mine in Ryke?

This was just discussed on the Discord. Seeing how you are after lots of assets, I figured I'd be good information to relay.
You don't need a specific RP related to the asset, nor does it have to have anything to do with said asset, all you need is to say you want it beforehand.

I'd just ask which RP's are open to join ( Develius has one, saxon has one, Daddy Dream seems to still have one open, Maxxob has one with one slot left open) from last time I checked and enter said RP with a big and bold 'RP is to gain Mine in Ryke Asset and inform the narrator that they don't need to do anything with that information, that it's just for grading later.

That might help out expand your RP search a lot, as whilst I enjoy RP'ing with you, I'm burning out on ideas for Slice of Life asset gain stuff.

Edit - You'll probably want to see the summary as well:

 

[Elvario]

Alright, the year is ending. This old man is tired, but fireworks are keeping him up. So I've been compiling a list of ramblings about things that I look back upon with happy thoughts. It's always a good exercise to consciously be grateful of the good stuff you were blessed with in a year. Foods, friendships, comforts, etc. In my case, with my addiction levels, that includes RP. So to do as I said I would, here we go. (Also, I legit am tired by now as I edit in and off some stuff. The list might get more rambly and chaotic at points as a result. I will have forgotten stuff, but my eyes are falling shut...)

TheTimePiece [Gnollbone Village] Unwelcome Saviours. It seems like the start of the adventures between Saoirse and Ryuuji got graded earlier this year. The first canonised adventure of many. DarkKitsune Develius RavenSong – Having Eriedeth, Scylla and Baharius along was also neat. It was definitely a fun starting RP for my slaver character with a group like that.

SilverFeathers [Vegard City] Bishop's Back in Town. We started up this year by ending the arrival of Nashi. The good vibes of this RP immediately return, just by checking it out. Now I want Lirek and Taiji to arrive as well and to summon Hymn and Valhyr as protective spirits to the Holy City of Vegard. I'm totally not greedy with ambitious plans. (Also, I actually names them all without looking it up. I hope I also got the spelling right.)

TheTimePiece [Shade of the Fae See- Fae See] Home Sweet Home. Good vibes got graded earlier this year. Kalina finally having a family! We gotta figure out how to get more of it canonized (I think I'll eventually fully unmonster Kalina), but either way, those were some good and wholesome vibes worth revisiting.

TheTimePiece [Evergate Rampart] The Redder Snow It seems the continuation of Victorique and Kane's adventures also ended and got graded earlier this year. It's still yet another really fun dynamic I've got going with one of your characters. I also still love how she's been able to interact with the NPC's (like Eliza) as it somehow feels those were perfect for a snarky, more dishonest character like Victorique to bounce off of.

TheTimePiece [Liudong Lianhua Monastery] 'I'll Make Them Flourish No Matter What! I Can't Believe My Slaves Are This Capable!' I realised the year has had surprisingly few good titles like this one. How horrible is a title when you can't immediately read the entire plot in it? Either way, was a really fun one. Gotta visit the frog monks with the whole crew for some training or relaxation assets.

SilverFeathers [Yasaki City] The City of Reunion Pumpkaboom.

Rev IX [Stonewall Town] (Caelia Barony) – Hammer-on quality. Wow, Regula hooking up Ryan with a blacksmithing contract was this year? Somehow it feels both longer ago and more recent. And the dude still hasn't brought in any tailed folk to thank her for her efforts. Could be fun to see if we can take it up a notch with this contract at some point. Or get him in trouble with it for selling to monsters/criminals/slavers.

RavenSong [Ryken City] A Long Awaited Date Ah, their first real date. That was a fun one. Can't wait for the zoo coming up at some point. Next time they'll have to wonder if they should go with the two or bring half their harem.

Moonberry [Nan Pass Village] Search for the Skythorn Blossom & [Nan Pass Village] 聖域平和 Seiiki Heiwa: Bathing of the Blood You know. A narrator letting me kill a bear in one RP, then wash off the blood and eat the bear in another, is bound to give me good memories. These were a lot of fun. Let's see if we can get Almeida and Aedri to meet again. Also SixSense 's Kota. Otherwise Valerius will miss him.

Faynorae [Bishri City] ♡ φᾰεινός ♡ Oh, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun☆ You showed me what happens when someone makes every post into an art piece. Maps, RP'ing companions, embedded musics, custom sprites. Bloody hell, what a work. Not the sane thing, perhaps, but it was definitely a lot of fun to be part of. Some of these images need saving and framing on a wall.

RavenSong Sisyphus Happy @Erich @Viokii [The Underbelly] It's a Bloody Dragon Scale! & [The Underbelly] Where's this Bloody Dragon Scale?!? These were some really great RP's to revisit and re-use some former Skyhunter lore that still had plenty left to give for RP chances. Having you all on board for it felt like a perfect crew for such a job as well, providing a great range of characters that were all eccentric and exciting enough to keep up with the plot.

Femboy [Isekai Hell] The Gunhild one :3 Let others call it weird/random/stupid/silly/childish/cringe. It started as a meme of having a character into tails and somehow now I'm actually enjoying such RP's. Having Gunhild on board for RP's is also fun, to me at least. It's a character type that helps freshen stuff up compared to the many 'serious' ones. Also SixSense when will Kota return? TheTimePiece Also love the amount of RP's Teuihua tags along with with Regula. Probably the most loyal character in RP count wise.

Shatter Shard Spoiled Bread Clockwork_Magic Develius LightningJay [Frontier] (Highgrove/Caelia Barony) Never too Young to be a Goblin Slayer For sure one of my favourite adventure dungeon-crawling RP's of the year, if not of all time. The sheet chaos between the group splitting up just about everywhere and trying to group was a lot of fun. Who knew that I just had to get over my dislike of torturing my own characters and hurting underage ones to get something going? That sounds wrong. Anyhow, I hope Amice runs into one of yours again so she can show off the restored finger and tell them she's till mentally scared for life all better now.

Femboy [West Empire] A Legendairy humiliation, among other things... Best cow. I still love how she brings another dynamic to the slave-chains. She should totally sign back up. Also love the OOC banter about her being a good Cow. Cause she is. Best mooh.

TheTimePiece Femboy Maxxob Moonberry SixSense @Elias_Wren DarkKitsune FantasyCat Orikanyo Naythophyl Uasal Kikimura Tellussoil Rcticwolf
[Stonewall Town] (Caelia Barony) All's Fair in this Fair Fair Oh boy. That was a thing. Thank you all so much for joining me in that chaotic experiment and testing the depths of my addictions to their fullest. Also FantasyCat 'It's Kiyover' still gets me to chuckle. Also, also Rcticwolf if Soreiel ever returns to Regula's bathroom I can't guarantee her tails safety. That's not a threat, that's an invitation. Also, also, also Moonberry come sell more hair dye with Aedri. Also, also, also, also Maxxob DarkKitsune SixSense I still got an order pending for Tinkerer's Triage! Also, Novama thanks for grading even that madness. What do the kids say again? That's pretty GOATed of you.

StarPrincessVal [Harmog Kon'Roor Town] Girl Next Dar' & (Harmog Kon'Roor Town) Kuridan After Dar'k The fact that it's ended doesn't mean I can't look back and appreciate the most satisfying slow-burn and long-term romance plot I've had in my entire RP history. So that's what I'll do. Thank you for having been aboard for it for so long, cause it takes two to tango romance-plot. Even now, I can still draw from this to have the Plant figure herself out anew after how big this was on her development.

RavenSong The Witches Inferno With a girlfriend like that, who needs enemies? Heh. Still loving Scylla's more chaotic nature, even if she matured. Granted, Wanted title was a tad annoying, but you gotta pay up for overthrowing demon lords, I guess. It helps that TheTimePiece is making the Hasufer cult a model agency for pretty folk lately for sure. Also Femboy Viokii is best bot. I still think most others underappreciate how you basically allow folk to set a custom character response with her.

DarkKitsune [Ryken] The show must go on! It's still funny and scary alike how something simple, fun and wholesome got so screwed up in the aftermath due to [Wanted] titles. That said, this was a fun one co-narrating in trying to use my own companions to help push along some plot/interactions for others.

@Kikumura Femboy Clockwork_Magic Develius SilverFeathers Maxxob [Aslan City] I Summon Thee! You guys really helped show that having the right group of characters along and some good RP'ers on board can make even a plot as simple as 'Summon some stuff' work out great. This is probably one of the RP's where I felt like the cast helped carry it along the most, making it rise above its simple set-up and be a whole lot of fun to write for.

TheTimePiece Maxxob [Widersia, Eastern Border] Edge of Enigma Ah, boy. Almeida and Yunaesa is such a fun combination already. Having Daddymus thrown in there was the icing on the cake. Can't wait for them to go tell Daddymus what they did to a certain Elf necromancer not that long ago. The follow-up [Clockhaven – Widersia] Testing The Waters was also a lot of fun to narrate.

Femboy [The Republic - Gala'Kraoth] Return to Gala'Kraoth It felt like a risk having Regula leave her barony for this RP, but I say it paid off. I'm not sure if you believe me or how much it still matters to you, but I'll keep saying I enjoyed it.

Rev IX [Stonewall Town] (Caelia Barony) A Helping Hand. Part 1: Homecoming. & [The See - Frontier] A Helping Hand. Part 2: Journeying. & [The See - Frontier] A Helping Hand. Part 3: Bargaining. Thanks for entrusting me with creating the S-grade NPC capable of healing Ryan. It was a lot of fun coming up with how to get it done, split it among parts, try engage/challenge him, etc. Also still love the dynamic between him and Aileen and I'll admit she's come close to being made a full PC multiple times over for that reason.

Maxxob [Clockhaven - Widersia] A Rowdy Construct I'm glad I was able to get on board one of the starting RP's of your narration sprees. Definitely gave the doggo a worthy summon as well. I also loved him interacting with TheTimePiece Shael and Gwen_Temi Demeter after having met them a little at the tail end of the RP before. Plain guy LightningJay John also being a nice addition.

Maxxob Develius Clockwork_Magic Karcen Femboy [Ryken - Ryke] Those damned bandits! Another RP that I feel was a lot of fun due to the group that signed on for it. Not that the narration wasn't on point, of course, as it definitely was. Yet I felt like the dynamics between those signing up made it all the more fun.

Irihi [Eastern Border of the Fae See - M’lynra Village] - One Last Push Gotta respect how much you learned on the fly system-wise in this one. Needlessly to say, having TheTimePiece with Yuna on board and having Almeida meeting her buddy Giftvi Purpler again was also really neat. Develius Flare and Karcen Seranphina definitely started showing off being a neat duo even more in this one. Also, also, Irihi you surprised me in being able to keep up my posting paces and even making me think 'that was fast' at times. Also, also, also. Again Irihi I still love how we did a 180 from out of the box combat situation to Freshen Up [The See of Chearon - Tea Party] this into the box Tea Party chaos. (Even though we're fighting again.) Think you might be a top contender for neatest new narrator on the block in 2024.

Kikimura [Stonewall Town] (Caelia Barony) Not Your Average Catfight Is it weird that I loved how much you loved Ethel most of all for this RP? Because I did. Always great to see someone appreciate one of my favourite NPC's so much.

Karcen Naythophyl Megilagor [Kuridan: Yale Village] Spider Plant Soil Slice of Life, bits of combat, lots of talking. I'm still really happy to have had y'all on board and turn this into an RP with bits of everything. I'm also really glad how Karcen Nikita turning up and starting to follow Euthalia around turned out thus far. Definitely a great thing, as I was uncertain where to go with the character after the long-lasting romance RP's ended. Found her at a great time both IC and OOC in that regard.

Giftvi [Otenzal] A Night of Unspoken Truths Gotta love your eye for detail on lore, maps, cultures, etc. That shone through on this one, even when I joined it with a cotton-brain like Zahrah.

Maxxob Megilagor lanzandpine Faynorae Daddy Dream Femboy [Norroburry Village] High Altitude Kittens & [Norroburry Village] High Altitude Kittens Part 2 – A Purrfect Quest I knew I wanted my cat-finding quest to have some spice and magic to it. I didn't think I'd go into a part 2 (and likely part 3) with it. I didn't think I'd end up hosting for a fairly big (yet really fun) group. I didn't think I'd really enjoy RP'ing a haughty cat so much. Yet I was proven wrong on all fronts. Odd how one of my own narrations turned out into a little bit of a hidden gem for me, if that makes sense to say. I definitely started vibing with Maxxob 's Edwin's vibes more and more and I feel like lanzandpine 's Marius and Daddy Dream 's Amelia started playing into that pretty well. Same for Faynorae 's Aniel being a neat contrast to Megilagor 's Viole.

Maxxob [Erithis - The See] An Empire of corruption and single-mindedness It was really neat to have my good boy priest just be a good boy priest for this RP. One of those things that get me the feel-good vibes. Having Faynorae 's Siegfried joining and going into [/url=https://www.rpnation.com/threads/eraza-refaras-sound-horny-rumours.549346/][Eraza / Refara's Sound] Horny Rumours[/url] after kept those vibes going. Except with some added romance, of course.

TheTimePiece [Wapelin Woods-Oll's End] Oll’s End My Old Friend Part 1 Queen Ibby. May her rule over Oll's End be forever Cuddly. Gotta love how we've got the crew going with RavenSong Femboy and @Sisyphus Especially having them all for part 2 again as well. With an added Karcen 's Katja, of course. Feels like a neat group to be part off, that's balancing constantly on edge of chaotic-lewd and deadly-serious. Which is exactly what I think I personally enjoy the most.

TheTimePiece [Southern Fae See] Shady Shrooms Part 1 Really helping me out with this and getting Euthalia going and staying motivated with her after the romance plot endings. Getting her on track as a diplomat and gaining a new favourite Karcen pet Human. Also was fun to have [Vaitiare Town] Watering my Plant happening in-between both parts and heartspan Asahi was so much of a more fun and nicer addition to that RP than I expected him to be at first. I'm really glad we got the vibe with the fox NPC to click well enough to work out our antics in such a fun manner.

Etymarchen #TiefyForPC2025 #JusticeForTiefy #ThePeopleDemandTiefy. Gimmie.

Clockwork_Magic Shatter Shard Spoiled Bread TheTimePiece Lucius Cypher [Clockhaven] Investigate Around And Find Out I really tortured myself trying to get those maps, icons and whatnot to work. Yet what I still think is the fondest bit in memory, is how a small halfling managed to just phone in a executor, high level mage, an even shorter pirate folk with a big heart, a looming Orc and a goon with his full entourage. Feels like this was definitely one of my more high-effort RP's, but thanks to the crew it was also definitely worth it, so all in all one of the most satisfactory ones on my end.

TheTimePiece Megilagor Maxxob Karcen @Kagemalum Femboy [Quang] Property for my Property - Part 1: What's on Sale & [Quang – Sienna Estate] Property for my Property - Part 2: Let me iiiiin! & [West Empire - Cipactli Forest] Property for my Property - Part 3: Having a Wonderful Monstrous Time Not gonna lie, Saoirse wouldn't even be 1/10th as fun without all of you signing on. A slaver is nothing without her slaves, after all. Legit, though, I really appreciate the OOC trust in making a character so tied in with one of mine through such mechanics. It's not something I take for granted for folk to just do and especially not stick with, so the fact that we're already going into a part 3 and probably a part 4 before long (after some previous RP's that weren't parts of this series for some) is amazing.

Voider [Stonewall Town] (Caelia Barony) (N)ice to meet you again. Out of the many barony 1x1's I've ran (about a dozen this year iirc), this was probably my favourite. There's something really appealing about how Glacier interacted with my NPC's. The type of chill comfort food for the soul type vibe.

Novama [Fae See Wilderness] Enigmatic Verdant Trial After so many title quests for Victorique, I'm really curious to see where her quest will lead her now and I'm glad you were willing to step up to narrate it yourself.

DarkKitsune [Fae See - Strawtinlen River] River of Redemption I: The hunt before The Eclipse Definitely the one where I started appreciating your dedication to drawing your own art a lot more. I'm also glad you're open to feedback and interested where part 2 will take us next year.

Mephisto [On the Border of the See and Widersia, as Far South of Clockhaven as the River Goes] - The Devil's Favorite Holiday I never did ask why the area description ended up being [On the Border of the See and Widersia, as Far South of Clockhaven as the River Goes] all that instead of a dot on a map. Or why not just going [On the Border of the See and Widersia, as Far South of Clockhaven as the River Goes On That One Tip Point Thing Near the One Land Thing On the Center but Slightly to The Right of It Yet Not So Left As to be Leftist] instead. Anyhow, on a more serious note, if I'd RP'ed with you more prior to this, you'd have been a contender to hottest new narrator of the year for me. That said, I'm loving the Red Haven patron vibes a lot, even if I'm kinda lost on the plots sometimes, but that's become part of the chaotic fun for an RP I joined with one of my most chaotic characters. Cutiefly Spoiled Bread Irihi Stormbreaker, Miiya and Meredy are definitely a great fellow cast to enjoy it with as well.

Rev IX [Caelia Barony - Ryke] Be it Welcome or Unwelcome Not gonna lie, I'm kinda flattered you're asking me for advise on the occasion. You also did pretty well on using just the right amount of system to make it make sense, but to still have Regula break out in a sweat in this one. RavenSong Oh man, the return of Aria. That is really neat to have happen this year, even if it's at the end. Glad to have her back.

So many characters were made this year. Guess I'll pick a few I liked.​

Moonberry Izzy Can't go wrong with a pirate lady.

Maxxob Erich Zann We need more happiness research done.

Femboy Viokii I like big b... asset-owning bots and I cannot lie. Still think it's pretty neat how her personality setting thing works, which I think I said earlier as well, but it's getting late and I'm getting more rambly.

SixSense Julius Atreus Astolgia I'm still surprised Regula managed to vibe with him so well.

@Faynorea Aniel Valentino Don't you dare scoop him before he's hooked up Regula and perhaps some other characters of mine.

Maxxob Sir Edwin Stormcrest? Wait... you really made me appreciate the EDGE.

Develius Flare They're still among the hottest characters for sure.

Spoiled Bread Aqua Feels like she was made years ago, not this year, with how quickly I grew to like the character.

LightningJay John Don't become the next John Doe to vanish before John Doe had done what John Doe Does Doing Done. Or something. Anyway, I think you already got further than most in trying to make the 'plain' work out.

Clockwork_Magic Seira Steelwind Adorable looking characters. Cool knights. Both are good. You made them one. Pretty neat.

TheTimePiece Yunaesa Valerius says hi to Yuna and Zjorn.

Femboy Lei-Cao Cattlemaricanica Sedimentarius Formatta Taurus. Best Cow. Good Mooh. I await the return.

Maxxob Decimus Valerius He loosed eyes on Yuna and Almy for a moment and they're already getting in trouble with a freshly resurrected necromancer Elf. Anyhow, guess he showed me old guy characters can be fun to have in an RP. Didn't think that'd happen, but it did.

Kikimura Tomoko Brandy Insert image of fish. Was fun training arcing her.

Maxxob Koralia Ironjaw SSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRKKK!!!!! Anyhow, if she ever visits again, perhaps Regula knows what she'd want to win in a rematch now.

Naythophyl Aiden Thornheart Gotta love having had the busy bee in some RP's of mine.

Spoiled Bread Simi Small characters unite. Show the world that size doesn't matter.

Tau Yume Haven't RP'ed with her yet, unless her ability made me forget OOC as well. She's high on the list of those I want to RP with though.

Megilagor Viole With how many RP's I saw him in, it feels like he's been around way longer. Still neat to see more [Living Dolls] around.

Karcen Seraphina Making a sword work as a character for more than a one-off trope is pretty neat.

Karcen Nikita Emotional Support Humans are a thing now. I dig it.

Irihi Miiya Aether Birds of a feather, flock together. I wonder if that's how she ended up in an RP with Zahrah?

Megilagor Diego Argento I don't know squat about SCP, but that only makes it more fun to have someone from that universe IC.

Karcen Katja Galinka Muahuaha, my best 'steal' of the year. Seriously like how Kalina got her to tag into the Coven RP though.

Daddy Dream Amilia I wonder how long it'll take before she actually burns some fools down.

Ersatra Anastasia Von Arbin Shouldn't be long before she's the most asset-rich character in IH history. Who knows, once I got more ideas for Slice of Life / asset RP's, we can develop some of the stuff in the barony.

Maxxob Fenrir Hellsing Who's a good boy? Yes you are!

heartspan Asahi Fujikawa If RP rewards get approved by a grader, he may soon own some of IH's most valuable sketchy sketches.

Megilagor Alister Marrok Who's a good boy? Yes you are!

SixSense Viazen Cloudfall Failed to meet him, but I don't want to stop trying just yet.

Irihi Irihi Spokelse Such a great bonding ritual teacher.

Giftvi Minvera Rhea Albero With your eye for lore/detail/history stuff, I think she can become and remain one of the more in-depth characters before long.

Karcen Teti Who's a good maid? Yes you are!

NachoGod Qamar Kabus Is she still with us, or did she go to the big lämp?

Spoiled Bread Meredy Cainbell Why does the cane carry so much of the aesthetic so well?

lanzandpine Marius Roswell Didn't realise how relatively new he was. Let's not let the world corrupt him too much... hopefully.

Community Events were also a thing. These I liked.​

January self-reflection event. Neat way to get some extra chance to write for a character and gloss over what others write about theirs.

February Valentine's letters. It's not real love until you write your heart out. To every single person you can come up with. Yes, I am a mad addict.

May event in designing and challenging creatures that ended up making it into lore after. Combining the best of a lot of what IH has to offer in creativity, systems, challenges and lore.

June event writing the day in the life of a high-ranking NPC. It was challenging to come up with one, but a fun exercises to get more into the lore of the world.

August's potion making event. Getting to craft consumables and use a more underused system in a fun and easy to access manner. I'd love to try that again.

December's White Elephant events remain a stable and probably my favourite. It's simple, it's easy, yet it's got the best of IH's skill/item designs, creativity, a bit of character interaction and a neat way to use IC.

Honourable mentions for some quick ones like St. Patty. Nova's bday event. Sheet making contest.

Some system update stuff.​

Updates to Heaven's Road, addition of Skill Mastery were neat.

Becoming a Hosted Project was a big surprise, but turned out really neat and well if you ask me. Huge compliments to the mods that kept reaching out to recruit new folk though. That isn't an easy task to keep up with and was/is extra needed as a result.

World Lore being added in and being made more public is really neat. Hoping for Dwarf Kingdom and more Sky Nation stuff. Also first Continent.

Contract feature being neat as I'm RP'ing a slaver.

Weapon and Magic Mastery overhaul probably turning out better, though perhaps still slightly off.

Lots of efforts put forwards to clarify. Clyvelle doing some amazing work there.

Standing Grade being a good new addition.

Grading sheets being pretty useful and a good way to have a bit more input as narrators.

Finally, the discord is really active.​

Can't tag you all. You know who you are on the Discord. You know how often (or not) we chat in there. Thanks. It's fun to have a place to unwind after work to share some hobbies, passions and ideas with.

Alright, the year is ending. This old man is tired, but fireworks are keeping him up. So I've been compiling a list of ramblings about things that I look back upon with happy thoughts. It's always a good exercise to consciously be grateful of the good stuff you were blessed with in a year. Foods, friendships, comforts, etc. In my case, with my addiction levels, that includes RP.

TheTimePiece [Evergate Rampart] The Redder Snow It seems the continuation of Victorique and Kane's adventures also ended and got graded earlier this year. It's still yet another really fun dynamic I've got going with one of your characters. I also still love how she's been able to interact with the NPC's (like Eliza) as it somehow feels those were perfect for a snarky, more dishonest character like Victorique to bounce off of.

TheTimePiece [Liudong Lianhua Monastery] 'I'll Make Them Flourish No Matter What! I Can't Believe My Slaves Are This Capable!' I realised the year has had surprisingly few good titles like this one. How horrible is a title when you can't immediately read the entire plot in it? Either way, was a really fun one. Gotta visit the frog monks with the whole crew for some training or relaxation assets.

SilverFeathers [Yasaki City] The City of Reunion Pumpkaboom.

Rev IX [Stonewall Town] (Caelia Barony) – Hammer-on quality. Wow, Regula hooking up Ryan with a blacksmithing contract was this year? Somehow it feels both longer ago and more recent. And the dude still hasn't brought in any tailed folk to thank her for her efforts. Could be fun to see if we can take it up a notch with this contract at some point. Or get him in trouble with it for selling to monsters/criminals/slavers.

RavenSong [Ryken City] A Long Awaited Date Ah, their first real date. That was a fun one. Can't wait for the zoo coming up at some point. Next time they'll have to wonder if they should go with the two or bring half their harem.

Moonberry [Nan Pass Village] Search for the Skythorn Blossom & [Nan Pass Village] 聖域平和 Seiiki Heiwa: Bathing of the Blood You know. A narrator letting me kill a bear in one RP, then wash off the blood and eat the bear in another, is bound to give me good memories. These were a lot of fun. Let's see if we can get Almeida and Aedri to meet again. Also SixSense 's Kota. Otherwise Valerius will miss him.

Faynorae [Bishri City] ♡ φᾰεινός ♡ Oh, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun☆ You showed me what happens when someone makes every post into an art piece. Maps, RP'ing companions, embedded musics, custom sprites. Bloody hell, what a work. Not the sane thing, perhaps, but it was definitely a lot of fun to be part of. Some of these images need saving and framing on a wall.

RavenSong Sisyphus Happy @Erich @Viokii [The Underbelly] It's a Bloody Dragon Scale! & [The Underbelly] Where's this Bloody Dragon Scale?!? These were some really great RP's to revisit and re-use some former Skyhunter lore that still had plenty left to give for RP chances. Having you all on board for it felt like a perfect crew for such a job as well, providing a great range of characters that were all eccentric and exciting enough to keep up with the plot.

Femboy [Isekai Hell] The Gunhild one :3 Let others call it weird/random/stupid/silly/childish/cringe. It started as a meme of having a character into tails and somehow now I'm actually enjoying such RP's. Having Gunhild on board for RP's is also fun, to me at least. It's a character type that helps freshen stuff up compared to the many 'serious' ones. Also SixSense when will Kota return? TheTimePiece Also love the amount of RP's Teuihua tags along with with Regula. Probably the most loyal character in RP count wise.

Shatter Shard Spoiled Bread Clockwork_Magic Develius LightningJay [Frontier] (Highgrove/Caelia Barony) Never too Young to be a Goblin Slayer For sure one of my favourite adventure dungeon-crawling RP's of the year, if not of all time. The sheet chaos between the group splitting up just about everywhere and trying to group was a lot of fun. Who knew that I just had to get over my dislike of torturing my own characters and hurting underage ones to get something going? That sounds wrong. Anyhow, I hope Amice runs into one of yours again so she can show off the restored finger and tell them she's till mentally scared for life all better now.

Femboy [West Empire] A Legendairy humiliation, among other things... Best cow. I still love how she brings another dynamic to the slave-chains. She should totally sign back up. Also love the OOC banter about her being a good Cow. Cause she is. Best mooh.

TheTimePiece Femboy Maxxob Moonberry SixSense Elias Wren DarkKitsune FantasyCat Orikanyo Naythophyl Uasal Kikimura Tellussoil Rcticwolf
[Stonewall Town] (Caelia Barony) All's Fair in this Fair Fair Oh boy. That was a thing. Thank you all so much for joining me in that chaotic experiment and testing the depths of my addictions to their fullest. Also FantasyCat 'It's Kiyover' still gets me to chuckle. Also, also Rcticwolf if Soreiel ever returns to Regula's bathroom I can't guarantee her tails safety. That's not a threat, that's an invitation. Also, also, also Moonberry come sell more hair dye with Aedri. Also, also, also, also Maxxob DarkKitsune SixSense I still got an order pending for Tinkerer's Triage! Also, Novama thanks for grading even that madness. What do the kids say again? That's pretty GOATed of you.

StarPrincessVal [Harmog Kon'Roor Town] Girl Next Dar' & (Harmog Kon'Roor Town) Kuridan After Dar'k The fact that it's ended doesn't mean I can't look back and appreciate the most satisfying slow-burn and long-term romance plot I've had in my entire RP history. So that's what I'll do. Thank you for having been aboard for it for so long, cause it takes two to tango romance-plot. Even now, I can still draw from this to have the Plant figure herself out anew after how big this was on her development.

RavenSong The Witches Inferno With a girlfriend like that, who needs enemies? Heh. Still loving Scylla's more chaotic nature, even if she matured. Granted, Wanted title was a tad annoying, but you gotta pay up for overthrowing demon lords, I guess. It helps that TheTimePiece is making the Hasufer cult a model agency for pretty folk lately for sure. Also Femboy Viokii is best bot. I still think most others underappreciate how you basically allow folk to set a custom character response with her.

DarkKitsune [Ryken] The show must go on! It's still funny and scary alike how something simple, fun and wholesome got so screwed up in the aftermath due to [Wanted] titles. That said, this was a fun one co-narrating in trying to use my own companions to help push along some plot/interactions for others.

@Kikumura Femboy Clockwork_Magic Develius SilverFeathers Maxxob [Aslan City] I Summon Thee! You guys really helped show that having the right group of characters along and some good RP'ers on board can make even a plot as simple as 'Summon some stuff' work out great. This is probably one of the RP's where I felt like the cast helped carry it along the most, making it rise above its simple set-up and be a whole lot of fun to write for.

TheTimePiece Maxxob [Widersia, Eastern Border] Edge of Enigma Ah, boy. Almeida and Yunaesa is such a fun combination already. Having Daddymus thrown in there was the icing on the cake. Can't wait for them to go tell Daddymus what they did to a certain Elf necromancer not that long ago. The follow-up [Clockhaven – Widersia] Testing The Waters was also a lot of fun to narrate.

Femboy [The Republic - Gala'Kraoth] Return to Gala'Kraoth It felt like a risk having Regula leave her barony for this RP, but I say it paid off. I'm not sure if you believe me or how much it still matters to you, but I'll keep saying I enjoyed it.

Rev IX [Stonewall Town] (Caelia Barony) A Helping Hand. Part 1: Homecoming. & [The See - Frontier] A Helping Hand. Part 2: Journeying. & [The See - Frontier] A Helping Hand. Part 3: Bargaining. Thanks for entrusting me with creating the S-grade NPC capable of healing Ryan. It was a lot of fun coming up with how to get it done, split it among parts, try engage/challenge him, etc. Also still love the dynamic between him and Aileen and I'll admit she's come close to being made a full PC multiple times over for that reason.

Maxxob [Clockhaven - Widersia] A Rowdy Construct I'm glad I was able to get on board one of the starting RP's of your narration sprees. Definitely gave the doggo a worthy summon as well. I also loved him interacting with TheTimePiece Shael and Gwen_Temi Demeter after having met them a little at the tail end of the RP before. Plain guy LightningJay John also being a nice addition.

Maxxob Develius Clockwork_Magic Karcen Femboy [Ryken - Ryke] Those damned bandits! Another RP that I feel was a lot of fun due to the group that signed on for it. Not that the narration wasn't on point, of course, as it definitely was. Yet I felt like the dynamics between those signing up made it all the more fun.

Irihi [Eastern Border of the Fae See - M’lynra Village] - One Last Push Gotta respect how much you learned on the fly system-wise in this one. Needlessly to say, having TheTimePiece with Yuna on board and having Almeida meeting her buddy Giftvi Purpler again was also really neat. Develius Flare and Karcen Seranphina definitely started showing off being a neat duo even more in this one. Also, also, Irihi you surprised me in being able to keep up my posting paces and even making me think 'that was fast' at times. Also, also, also. Again Irihi I still love how we did a 180 from out of the box combat situation to Freshen Up [The See of Chearon - Tea Party] this into the box Tea Party chaos. (Even though we're fighting again.) Think you might be a top contender for neatest new narrator on the block in 2024.

@Kikumura [Stonewall Town] (Caelia Barony) Not Your Average Catfight Is it weird that I loved how much you loved Ethel most of all for this RP? Because I did. Always great to see someone appreciate one of my favourite NPC's so much.

Karcen Naythophyl Megilagor [Kuridan: Yale Village] Spider Plant Soil Slice of Life, bits of combat, lots of talking. I'm still really happy to have had y'all on board and turn this into an RP with bits of everything. I'm also really glad how Karcen Nikita turning up and starting to follow Euthalia around turned out thus far. Definitely a great thing, as I was uncertain where to go with the character after the long-lasting romance RP's ended. Found her at a great time both IC and OOC in that regard.

Giftvi [Otenzal] A Night of Unspoken Truths Gotta love your eye for detail on lore, maps, cultures, etc. That shone through on this one, even when I joined it with a cotton-brain like Zahrah.

Maxxob Megilagor lanzandpine Faynorae Daddy Dream Femboy [Norroburry Village] High Altitude Kittens & [Norroburry Village] High Altitude Kittens Part 2 – A Purrfect Quest I knew I wanted my cat-finding quest to have some spice and magic to it. I didn't think I'd go into a part 2 (and likely part 3) with it. I didn't think I'd end up hosting for a fairly big (yet really fun) group. I didn't think I'd really enjoy RP'ing a haughty cat so much. Yet I was proven wrong on all fronts. Odd how one of my own narrations turned out into a little bit of a hidden gem for me, if that makes sense to say. I definitely started vibing with Maxxob 's Edwin's vibes more and more and I feel like lanzandpine 's Marius and Daddy Dream 's Amelia started playing into that pretty well. Same for Faynorae 's Aniel being a neat contrast to Megilagor 's Viole.

Maxxob [Erithis - The See] An Empire of corruption and single-mindedness It was really neat to have my good boy priest just be a good boy priest for this RP. One of those things that get me the feel-good vibes. Having Faynorae 's Siegfried joining and going into [/url=Finished - [Eraza / Refara's Sound] Horny Rumours][Eraza / Refara's Sound] Horny Rumours[/url] after kept those vibes going. Except with some added romance, of course.

TheTimePiece [Wapelin Woods-Oll's End] Oll’s End My Old Friend Part 1 Queen Ibby. May her rule over Oll's End be forever Cuddly. Gotta love how we've got the crew going with RavenSong Femboy and @Sisyphus Especially having them all for part 2 again as well. With an added Karcen 's Katja, of course. Feels like a neat group to be part off, that's balancing constantly on edge of chaotic-lewd and deadly-serious. Which is exactly what I think I personally enjoy the most.

TheTimePiece [Southern Fae See] Shady Shrooms Part 1 Really helping me out with this and getting Euthalia going and staying motivated with her after the romance plot endings. Getting her on track as a diplomat and gaining a new favourite Karcen pet Human. Also was fun to have [Vaitiare Town] Watering my Plant happening in-between both parts and heartspan Asahi was so much of a more fun and nicer addition to that RP than I expected him to be at first. I'm really glad we got the vibe with the fox NPC to click well enough to work out our antics in such a fun manner.

Etymarchen #TiefyForPC2025 #JusticeForTiefy #ThePeopleDemandTiefy. Gimmie.

Clockwork_Magic Shatter Shard Spoiled Bread TheTimePiece Lucius Cypher [Clockhaven] Investigate Around And Find Out I really tortured myself trying to get those maps, icons and whatnot to work. Yet what I still think is the fondest bit in memory, is how a small halfling managed to just phone in a executor, high level mage, an even shorter pirate folk with a big heart, a looming Orc and a goon with his full entourage. Feels like this was definitely one of my more high-effort RP's, but thanks to the crew it was also definitely worth it, so all in all one of the most satisfactory ones on my end.

TheTimePiece Megilagor Maxxob Karcen @Kagemalum Femboy [Quang] Property for my Property - Part 1: What's on Sale & [Quang – Sienna Estate] Property for my Property - Part 2: Let me iiiiin! & [West Empire - Cipactli Forest] Property for my Property - Part 3: Having a Wonderful Monstrous Time Not gonna lie, Saoirse wouldn't even be 1/10th as fun without all of you signing on. A slaver is nothing without her slaves, after all. Legit, though, I really appreciate the OOC trust in making a character so tied in with one of mine through such mechanics. It's not something I take for granted for folk to just do and especially not stick with, so the fact that we're already going into a part 3 and probably a part 4 before long (after some previous RP's that weren't parts of this series for some) is amazing.

Voider [Stonewall Town] (Caelia Barony) (N)ice to meet you again. Out of the many barony 1x1's I've ran (about a dozen this year iirc), this was probably my favourite. There's something really appealing about how Glacier interacted with my NPC's. The type of chill comfort food for the soul type vibe.

Novama [Fae See Wilderness] Enigmatic Verdant Trial After so many title quests for Victorique, I'm really curious to see where her quest will lead her now and I'm glad you were willing to step up to narrate it yourself.

DarkKitsune [Fae See - Strawtinlen River] River of Redemption I: The hunt before The Eclipse Definitely the one where I started appreciating your dedication to drawing your own art a lot more. I'm also glad you're open to feedback and interested where part 2 will take us next year.

Mephisto [On the Border of the See and Widersia, as Far South of Clockhaven as the River Goes] - The Devil's Favorite Holiday I never did ask why the area description ended up being [On the Border of the See and Widersia, as Far South of Clockhaven as the River Goes] all that instead of a dot on a map. Or why not just going [On the Border of the See and Widersia, as Far South of Clockhaven as the River Goes On That One Tip Point Thing Near the One Land Thing On the Center but Slightly to The Right of It Yet Not So Left As to be Leftist] instead. Anyhow, on a more serious note, if I'd RP'ed with you more prior to this, you'd have been a contender to hottest new narrator of the year for me. That said, I'm loving the Red Haven patron vibes a lot, even if I'm kinda lost on the plots sometimes, but that's become part of the chaotic fun for an RP I joined with one of my most chaotic characters. Cutiefly Spoiled Bread Irihi Stormbreaker, Miiya and Meredy are definitely a great fellow cast to enjoy it with as well.

Rev IX [Caelia Barony - Ryke] Be it Welcome or Unwelcome Not gonna lie, I'm kinda flattered you're asking me for advise on the occasion. You also did pretty well on using just the right amount of system to make it make sense, but to still have Regula break out in a sweat in this one. RavenSong Oh man, the return of Aria. That is really neat to have happen this year, even if it's at the end. Glad to have her back.

So many characters were made this year. Guess I'll pick a few I liked.​

Moonberry Izzy Can't go wrong with a pirate lady.

Maxxob Erich Zann We need more happiness research done.

Femboy Viokii I like big b... asset-owning bots and I cannot lie. Still think it's pretty neat how her personality setting thing works, which I think I said earlier as well, but it's getting late and I'm getting more rambly.

SixSense Julius Atreus Astolgia I'm still surprised Regula managed to vibe with him so well.

@Faynorea Aniel Valentino Don't you dare scoop him before he's hooked up Regula and perhaps some other characters of mine.

Maxxob Sir Edwin Stormcrest? Wait... you really made me appreciate the EDGE.

Develius Flare They're still among the hottest characters for sure.

Spoiled Bread Aqua Feels like she was made years ago, not this year, with how quickly I grew to like the character.

LightningJay John Don't become the next John Doe to vanish before John Doe had done what John Doe Does Doing Done. Or something. Anyway, I think you already got further than most in trying to make the 'plain' work out.

Clockwork_Magic Seira Steelwind Adorable looking characters. Cool knights. Both are good. You made them one. Pretty neat.

TheTimePiece Yunaesa Valerius says hi to Yuna and Zjorn.

Femboy Lei-Cao Cattlemaricanica Sedimentarius Formatta Taurus. Best Cow. Good Mooh. I await the return.

Maxxob Decimus Valerius He loosed eyes on Yuna and Almy for a moment and they're already getting in trouble with a freshly resurrected necromancer Elf. Anyhow, guess he showed me old guy characters can be fun to have in an RP. Didn't think that'd happen, but it did.

Kikimura Tomoko Brandy Insert image of fish. Was fun training arcing her.

Maxxob Koralia Ironjaw SSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRKKK!!!!! Anyhow, if she ever visits again, perhaps Regula knows what she'd want to win in a rematch now.

Naythophyl Aiden Thornheart Gotta love having had the busy bee in some RP's of mine.

Spoiled Bread Simi Small characters unite. Show the world that size doesn't matter.

Tau Yume Haven't RP'ed with her yet, unless her ability made me forget OOC as well. She's high on the list of those I want to RP with though.

Megilagor Viole With how many RP's I saw him in, it feels like he's been around way longer. Still neat to see more [Living Dolls] around.

Karcen Seraphina Making a sword work as a character for more than a one-off trope is pretty neat.

Karcen Nikita Emotional Support Humans are a thing now. I dig it.

Irihi Miiya Aether Birds of a feather, flock together. I wonder if that's how she ended up in an RP with Zahrah?

Megilagor Diego Argento I don't know squat about SCP, but that only makes it more fun to have someone from that universe IC.

Karcen Katja Galinka Muahuaha, my best 'steal' of the year. Seriously like how Kalina got her to tag into the Coven RP though.

Daddy Dream Amilia I wonder how long it'll take before she actually burns some fools down.

Ersatra Anastasia Von Arbin Shouldn't be long before she's the most asset-rich character in IH history. Who knows, once I got more ideas for Slice of Life / asset RP's, we can develop some of the stuff in the barony.

Maxxob Fenrir Hellsing Who's a good boy? Yes you are!

heartspan Asahi Fujikawa If RP rewards get approved by a grader, he may soon own some of IH's most valuable sketchy sketches.

Megilagor Alister Marrok Who's a good boy? Yes you are!

SixSense Viazen Cloudfall Failed to meet him, but I don't want to stop trying just yet.

Irihi Irihi Spokelse Such a great bonding ritual teacher.

Giftvi Minvera Rhea Albero With your eye for lore/detail/history stuff, I think she can become and remain one of the more in-depth characters before long.

Karcen Teti Who's a good maid? Yes you are!

NachoGod Qamar Kabus Is she still with us, or did she go to the big lämp?

Spoiled Bread Meredy Cainbell Why does the cane carry so much of the aesthetic so well?

lanzandpine Marius Roswell Didn't realise how relatively new he was. Let's not let the world corrupt him too much... hopefully.

Community Events were also a thing. These I liked.​

January self-reflection event. Neat way to get some extra chance to write for a character and gloss over what others write about theirs.

February Valentine's letters. It's not real love until you write your heart out. To every single person you can come up with. Yes, I am a mad addict.

May event in designing and challenging creatures that ended up making it into lore after. Combining the best of a lot of what IH has to offer in creativity, systems, challenges and lore.

June event writing the day in the life of a high-ranking NPC. It was challenging to come up with one, but a fun exercises to get more into the lore of the world.

August's potion making event. Getting to craft consumables and use a more underused system in a fun and easy to access manner. I'd love to try that again.

December's White Elephant events remain a stable and probably my favourite. It's simple, it's easy, yet it's got the best of IH's skill/item designs, creativity, a bit of character interaction and a neat way to use IC.

Honourable mentions for some quick ones like St. Patty. Nova's bday event. Sheet making contest.

Some system update stuff.​

Updates to Heaven's Road, addition of Skill Mastery were neat.

Becoming a Hosted Project was a big surprise, but turned out really neat and well if you ask me. Huge compliments to the mods that kept reaching out to recruit new folk though. That isn't an easy task to keep up with and was/is extra needed as a result.

World Lore being added in and being made more public is really neat. Hoping for Dwarf Kingdom and more Sky Nation stuff. Also first Continent.

Contract feature being neat as I'm RP'ing a slaver.

Weapon and Magic Mastery overhaul probably turning out better, though perhaps still slightly off.

Lots of efforts put forwards to clarify. Clyvelle doing some amazing work there.

Standing Grade being a good new addition.

Grading sheets being pretty useful and a good way to have a bit more input as narrators.

Finally, the discord is really active.​

Can't tag you all. You know who you are on the Discord. You know how often (or not) we chat in there. Thanks. It's fun to have a place to unwind after work to share some hobbies, passions and ideas with.

we love our old woof man, elvario

 

[StarPrincessVal]

Alright, the year is ending. This old man is tired, but fireworks are keeping him up. So I've been compiling a list of ramblings about things that I look back upon with happy thoughts. It's always a good exercise to consciously be grateful of the good stuff you were blessed with in a year. Foods, friendships, comforts, etc. In my case, with my addiction levels, that includes RP. So to do as I said I would, here we go. (Also, I legit am tired by now as I edit in and off some stuff. The list might get more rambly and chaotic at points as a result. I will have forgotten stuff, but my eyes are falling shut...)

TheTimePiece [Gnollbone Village] Unwelcome Saviours. It seems like the start of the adventures between Saoirse and Ryuuji got graded earlier this year. The first canonised adventure of many. DarkKitsune Develius RavenSong – Having Eriedeth, Scylla and Baharius along was also neat. It was definitely a fun starting RP for my slaver character with a group like that.

SilverFeathers [Vegard City] Bishop's Back in Town. We started up this year by ending the arrival of Nashi. The good vibes of this RP immediately return, just by checking it out. Now I want Lirek and Taiji to arrive as well and to summon Hymn and Valhyr as protective spirits to the Holy City of Vegard. I'm totally not greedy with ambitious plans. (Also, I actually names them all without looking it up. I hope I also got the spelling right.)

TheTimePiece [Shade of the Fae See- Fae See] Home Sweet Home. Good vibes got graded earlier this year. Kalina finally having a family! We gotta figure out how to get more of it canonized (I think I'll eventually fully unmonster Kalina), but either way, those were some good and wholesome vibes worth revisiting.

TheTimePiece [Evergate Rampart] The Redder Snow It seems the continuation of Victorique and Kane's adventures also ended and got graded earlier this year. It's still yet another really fun dynamic I've got going with one of your characters. I also still love how she's been able to interact with the NPC's (like Eliza) as it somehow feels those were perfect for a snarky, more dishonest character like Victorique to bounce off of.

TheTimePiece [Liudong Lianhua Monastery] 'I'll Make Them Flourish No Matter What! I Can't Believe My Slaves Are This Capable!' I realised the year has had surprisingly few good titles like this one. How horrible is a title when you can't immediately read the entire plot in it? Either way, was a really fun one. Gotta visit the frog monks with the whole crew for some training or relaxation assets.

SilverFeathers [Yasaki City] The City of Reunion Pumpkaboom.

Rev IX [Stonewall Town] (Caelia Barony) – Hammer-on quality. Wow, Regula hooking up Ryan with a blacksmithing contract was this year? Somehow it feels both longer ago and more recent. And the dude still hasn't brought in any tailed folk to thank her for her efforts. Could be fun to see if we can take it up a notch with this contract at some point. Or get him in trouble with it for selling to monsters/criminals/slavers.

RavenSong [Ryken City] A Long Awaited Date Ah, their first real date. That was a fun one. Can't wait for the zoo coming up at some point. Next time they'll have to wonder if they should go with the two or bring half their harem.

Moonberry [Nan Pass Village] Search for the Skythorn Blossom & [Nan Pass Village] 聖域平和 Seiiki Heiwa: Bathing of the Blood You know. A narrator letting me kill a bear in one RP, then wash off the blood and eat the bear in another, is bound to give me good memories. These were a lot of fun. Let's see if we can get Almeida and Aedri to meet again. Also SixSense 's Kota. Otherwise Valerius will miss him.

Faynorae [Bishri City] ♡ φᾰεινός ♡ Oh, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun☆ You showed me what happens when someone makes every post into an art piece. Maps, RP'ing companions, embedded musics, custom sprites. Bloody hell, what a work. Not the sane thing, perhaps, but it was definitely a lot of fun to be part of. Some of these images need saving and framing on a wall.

RavenSong Sisyphus Happy @Erich @Viokii [The Underbelly] It's a Bloody Dragon Scale! & [The Underbelly] Where's this Bloody Dragon Scale?!? These were some really great RP's to revisit and re-use some former Skyhunter lore that still had plenty left to give for RP chances. Having you all on board for it felt like a perfect crew for such a job as well, providing a great range of characters that were all eccentric and exciting enough to keep up with the plot.

Femboy [Isekai Hell] The Gunhild one :3 Let others call it weird/random/stupid/silly/childish/cringe. It started as a meme of having a character into tails and somehow now I'm actually enjoying such RP's. Having Gunhild on board for RP's is also fun, to me at least. It's a character type that helps freshen stuff up compared to the many 'serious' ones. Also SixSense when will Kota return? TheTimePiece Also love the amount of RP's Teuihua tags along with with Regula. Probably the most loyal character in RP count wise.

Shatter Shard Spoiled Bread Clockwork_Magic Develius LightningJay [Frontier] (Highgrove/Caelia Barony) Never too Young to be a Goblin Slayer For sure one of my favourite adventure dungeon-crawling RP's of the year, if not of all time. The sheet chaos between the group splitting up just about everywhere and trying to group was a lot of fun. Who knew that I just had to get over my dislike of torturing my own characters and hurting underage ones to get something going? That sounds wrong. Anyhow, I hope Amice runs into one of yours again so she can show off the restored finger and tell them she's till mentally scared for life all better now.

Femboy [West Empire] A Legendairy humiliation, among other things... Best cow. I still love how she brings another dynamic to the slave-chains. She should totally sign back up. Also love the OOC banter about her being a good Cow. Cause she is. Best mooh.

TheTimePiece Femboy Maxxob Moonberry SixSense Elias Wren DarkKitsune FantasyCat Orikanyo Naythophyl Uasal Kikimura Tellussoil Rcticwolf
[Stonewall Town] (Caelia Barony) All's Fair in this Fair Fair Oh boy. That was a thing. Thank you all so much for joining me in that chaotic experiment and testing the depths of my addictions to their fullest. Also FantasyCat 'It's Kiyover' still gets me to chuckle. Also, also Rcticwolf if Soreiel ever returns to Regula's bathroom I can't guarantee her tails safety. That's not a threat, that's an invitation. Also, also, also Moonberry come sell more hair dye with Aedri. Also, also, also, also Maxxob DarkKitsune SixSense I still got an order pending for Tinkerer's Triage! Also, Novama thanks for grading even that madness. What do the kids say again? That's pretty GOATed of you.

StarPrincessVal [Harmog Kon'Roor Town] Girl Next Dar' & (Harmog Kon'Roor Town) Kuridan After Dar'k The fact that it's ended doesn't mean I can't look back and appreciate the most satisfying slow-burn and long-term romance plot I've had in my entire RP history. So that's what I'll do. Thank you for having been aboard for it for so long, cause it takes two to tango romance-plot. Even now, I can still draw from this to have the Plant figure herself out anew after how big this was on her development.

RavenSong The Witches Inferno With a girlfriend like that, who needs enemies? Heh. Still loving Scylla's more chaotic nature, even if she matured.

TheTimePiece Maxxob [Widersia, Eastern Border] Edge of Enigma Ah, boy. Almeida and Yunaesa is such a fun combination already. Having Daddymus thrown in there was the icing on the cake. Can't wait for them to go tell Daddymus what they did to a certain Elf necromancer not that long ago. The follow-up [Clockhaven – Widersia] Testing The Waters was also a lot of fun to narrate.

Femboy [The Republic - Gala'Kraoth] Return to Gala'Kraoth It felt like a risk having Regula leave her barony for this RP, but I say it paid off. I'm not sure if you believe me or how much it still matters to you, but I'll keep saying I enjoyed it.

Rev IX [Stonewall Town] (Caelia Barony) A Helping Hand. Part 1: Homecoming. & [The See - Frontier] A Helping Hand. Part 2: Journeying. & [The See - Frontier] A Helping Hand. Part 3: Bargaining. Thanks for entrusting me with creating the S-grade NPC capable of healing Ryan. It was a lot of fun coming up with how to get it done, split it among parts, try engage/challenge him, etc. Also still love the dynamic between him and Aileen and I'll admit she's come close to being made a full PC multiple times over for that reason.

Maxxob [Clockhaven - Widersia] A Rowdy Construct I'm glad I was able to get on board one of the starting RP's of your narration sprees. Definitely gave the doggo a worthy summon as well. I also loved him interacting with TheTimePiece Shael and Gwen_Temi Demeter after having met them a little at the tail end of the RP before. Plain guy LightningJay John also being a nice addition.

Maxxob Develius Clockwork_Magic Karcen Femboy [Ryken - Ryke] Those damned bandits! Another RP that I feel was a lot of fun due to the group that signed on for it. Not that the narration wasn't on point, of course, as it definitely was. Yet I felt like the dynamics between those signing up made it all the more fun.

Irihi [Eastern Border of the Fae See - M’lynra Village] - One Last Push Gotta respect how much you learned on the fly system-wise in this one. Needlessly to say, having TheTimePiece with Yuna on board and having Almeida meeting her buddy Giftvi Purpler again was also really neat. Develius Flare and Karcen Seranphina definitely started showing off being a neat duo even more in this one. Also, also, Irihi you surprised me in being able to keep up my posting paces and even making me think 'that was fast' at times. Also, also, also. Again Irihi I still love how we did a 180 from out of the box combat situation to Freshen Up [The See of Chearon - Tea Party] this into the box Tea Party chaos. (Even though we're fighting again.) Think you might be a top contender for neatest new narrator on the block in 2024.

Kikimura [Stonewall Town] (Caelia Barony) Not Your Average Catfight Is it weird that I loved how much you loved Ethel most of all for this RP? Because I did. Always great to see someone appreciate one of my favourite NPC's so much.

Karcen Naythophyl Megilagor [Kuridan: Yale Village] Spider Plant Soil Slice of Life, bits of combat, lots of talking. I'm still really happy to have had y'all on board and turn this into an RP with bits of everything. I'm also really glad how Karcen Nikita turning up and starting to follow Euthalia around turned out thus far. Definitely a great thing, as I was uncertain where to go with the character after the long-lasting romance RP's ended. Found her at a great time both IC and OOC in that regard.

Giftvi [Otenzal] A Night of Unspoken Truths Gotta love your eye for detail on lore, maps, cultures, etc. That shone through on this one, even when I joined it with a cotton-brain like Zahrah.

Maxxob Megilagor lanzandpine Faynorae Daddy Dream Femboy [Norroburry Village] High Altitude Kittens & [Norroburry Village] High Altitude Kittens Part 2 – A Purrfect Quest I knew I wanted my cat-finding quest to have some spice and magic to it. I didn't think I'd go into a part 2 (and likely part 3) with it. I didn't think I'd end up hosting for a fairly big (yet really fun) group. I didn't think I'd really enjoy RP'ing a haughty cat so much. Yet I was proven wrong on all fronts. Odd how one of my own narrations turned out into a little bit of a hidden gem for me, if that makes sense to say. I definitely started vibing with Maxxob 's Edwin's vibes more and more and I feel like lanzandpine 's Marius and Daddy Dream 's Amelia started playing into that pretty well. Same for Faynorae 's Aniel being a neat contrast to Megilagor 's Viole.

Maxxob [Erithis - The See] An Empire of corruption and single-mindedness It was really neat to have my good boy priest just be a good boy priest for this RP. One of those things that get me the feel-good vibes. Having Faynorae 's Siegfried joining and going into [/url=Finished - [Eraza / Refara's Sound] Horny Rumours][Eraza / Refara's Sound] Horny Rumours[/url] after kept those vibes going. Except with some added romance, of course.

TheTimePiece [Wapelin Woods-Oll's End] Oll’s End My Old Friend Part 1 Queen Ibby. May her rule over Oll's End be forever Cuddly. Gotta love how we've got the crew going with RavenSong Femboy and @Sisyphus Especially having them all for part 2 again as well. With an added Karcen 's Katja, of course. Feels like a neat group to be part off, that's balancing constantly on edge of chaotic-lewd and deadly-serious. Which is exactly what I think I personally enjoy the most.

TheTimePiece [Southern Fae See] Shady Shrooms Part 1 Really helping me out with this and getting Euthalia going and staying motivated with her after the romance plot endings. Getting her on track as a diplomat and gaining a new favourite Karcen pet Human. Also was fun to have [Vaitiare Town] Watering my Plant happening in-between both parts and heartspan Asahi was so much of a more fun and nicer addition to that RP than I expected him to be at first. I'm really glad we got the vibe with the fox NPC to click well enough to work out our antics in such a fun manner.

Etymarchen #TiefyForPC2025 #JusticeForTiefy #ThePeopleDemandTiefy. Gimmie.

Clockwork_Magic Shatter Shard Spoiled Bread TheTimePiece Lucius Cypher [Clockhaven] Investigate Around And Find Out I really tortured myself trying to get those maps, icons and whatnot to work. Yet what I still think is the fondest bit in memory, is how a small halfling managed to just phone in a executor, high level mage, an even shorter pirate folk with a big heart, a looming Orc and a goon with his full entourage. Feels like this was definitely one of my more high-effort RP's, but thanks to the crew it was also definitely worth it, so all in all one of the most satisfactory ones on my end.

TheTimePiece Megilagor Maxxob Karcen @Kagemalum Femboy [Quang] Property for my Property - Part 1: What's on Sale & [Quang – Sienna Estate] Property for my Property - Part 2: Let me iiiiin! & [West Empire - Cipactli Forest] Property for my Property - Part 3: Having a Wonderful Monstrous Time Not gonna lie, Saoirse wouldn't even be 1/10th as fun without all of you signing on. A slaver is nothing without her slaves, after all. Legit, though, I really appreciate the OOC trust in making a character so tied in with one of mine through such mechanics. It's not something I take for granted for folk to just do and especially not stick with, so the fact that we're already going into a part 3 and probably a part 4 before long (after some previous RP's that weren't parts of this series for some) is amazing.

Voider [Stonewall Town] (Caelia Barony) (N)ice to meet you again. Out of the many barony 1x1's I've ran (about a dozen this year iirc), this was probably my favourite. There's something really appealing about how Glacier interacted with my NPC's. The type of chill comfort food for the soul type vibe.

Novama [Fae See Wilderness] Enigmatic Verdant Trial After so many title quests for Victorique, I'm really curious to see where her quest will lead her now and I'm glad you were willing to step up to narrate it yourself.

DarkKitsune [Fae See - Strawtinlen River] River of Redemption I: The hunt before The Eclipse Definitely the one where I started appreciating your dedication to drawing your own art a lot more. I'm also glad you're open to feedback and interested where part 2 will take us next year.

Mephisto [On the Border of the See and Widersia, as Far South of Clockhaven as the River Goes] - The Devil's Favorite Holiday I never did ask why the area description ended up being [On the Border of the See and Widersia, as Far South of Clockhaven as the River Goes] all that instead of a dot on a map. Or why not just going [On the Border of the See and Widersia, as Far South of Clockhaven as the River Goes On That One Tip Point Thing Near the One Land Thing On the Center but Slightly to The Right of It Yet Not So Left As to be Leftist] instead. Anyhow, on a more serious note, if I'd RP'ed with you more prior to this, you'd have been a contender to hottest new narrator of the year for me. That said, I'm loving the Red Haven patron vibes a lot, even if I'm kinda lost on the plots sometimes, but that's become part of the chaotic fun for an RP I joined with one of my most chaotic characters. Cutiefly Spoiled Bread Irihi Stormbreaker, Miiya and Meredy are definitely a great fellow cast to enjoy it with as well.

Rev IX [Caelia Barony - Ryke] Be it Welcome or Unwelcome Not gonna lie, I'm kinda flattered you're asking me for advise on the occasion. You also did pretty well on using just the right amount of system to make it make sense, but to still have Regula break out in a sweat in this one. RavenSong Oh man, the return of Aria. That is really neat to have happen this year, even if it's at the end. Glad to have her back.

So many characters were made this year. Guess I'll pick a few I liked.​

Moonberry Izzy Can't go wrong with a pirate lady.

Maxxob Erich Zann We need more happiness research done.

Femboy Viokii I like big b... asset-owning bots and I cannot lie. Still think it's pretty neat how her personality setting thing works, which I think I said earlier as well, but it's getting late and I'm getting more rambly.

SixSense Julius Atreus Astolgia I'm still surprised Regula managed to vibe with him so well.

@Faynorea Aniel Valentino Don't you dare scoop him before he's hooked up Regula and perhaps some other characters of mine.

Maxxob Sir Edwin Stormcrest? Wait... you really made me appreciate the EDGE.

Develius Flare They're still among the hottest characters for sure.

Spoiled Bread Aqua Feels like she was made years ago, not this year, with how quickly I grew to like the character.

LightningJay John Don't become the next John Doe to vanish before John Doe had done what John Doe Does Doing Done. Or something. Anyway, I think you already got further than most in trying to make the 'plain' work out.

Clockwork_Magic Seira Steelwind Adorable looking characters. Cool knights. Both are good. You made them one. Pretty neat.

TheTimePiece Yunaesa Valerius says hi to Yuna and Zjorn.

Femboy Lei-Cao Cattlemaricanica Sedimentarius Formatta Taurus. Best Cow. Good Mooh. I await the return.

Maxxob Decimus Valerius He loosed eyes on Yuna and Almy for a moment and they're already getting in trouble with a freshly resurrected necromancer Elf. Anyhow, guess he showed me old guy characters can be fun to have in an RP. Didn't think that'd happen, but it did.

Kikimura Tomoko Brandy Insert image of fish. Was fun training arcing her.

Maxxob Koralia Ironjaw SSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRKKK!!!!! Anyhow, if she ever visits again, perhaps Regula knows what she'd want to win in a rematch now.

Naythophyl Aiden Thornheart Gotta love having had the busy bee in some RP's of mine.

Spoiled Bread Simi Small characters unite. Show the world that size doesn't matter.

Tau Yume Haven't RP'ed with her yet, unless her ability made me forget OOC as well. She's high on the list of those I want to RP with though.

Megilagor Viole With how many RP's I saw him in, it feels like he's been around way longer. Still neat to see more [Living Dolls] around.

Karcen Seraphina Making a sword work as a character for more than a one-off trope is pretty neat.

Karcen Nikita Emotional Support Humans are a thing now. I dig it.

Irihi Miiya Aether Birds of a feather, flock together. I wonder if that's how she ended up in an RP with Zahrah?

Megilagor Diego Argento I don't know squat about SCP, but that only makes it more fun to have someone from that universe IC.

Karcen Katja Galinka Muahuaha, my best 'steal' of the year. Seriously like how Kalina got her to tag into the Coven RP though.

Daddy Dream Amilia I wonder how long it'll take before she actually burns some fools down.

Ersatra Anastasia Von Arbin Shouldn't be long before she's the most asset-rich character in IH history. Who knows, once I got more ideas for Slice of Life / asset RP's, we can develop some of the stuff in the barony.

Maxxob Fenrir Hellsing Who's a good boy? Yes you are!

heartspan Asahi Fujikawa If RP rewards get approved by a grader, he may soon own some of IH's most valuable sketchy sketches.

Megilagor Alister Marrok Who's a good boy? Yes you are!

SixSense Viazen Cloudfall Failed to meet him, but I don't want to stop trying just yet.

Irihi Irihi Spokelse Such a great bonding ritual teacher.

Giftvi Minvera Rhea Albero With your eye for lore/detail/history stuff, I think she can become and remain one of the more in-depth characters before long.

Karcen Teti Who's a good maid? Yes you are!

NachoGod Qamar Kabus Is she still with us, or did she go to the big lämp?

Spoiled Bread Meredy Cainbell Why does the cane carry so much of the aesthetic so well?

lanzandpine Marius Roswell Didn't realise how relatively new he was. Let's not let the world corrupt him too much... hopefully.

Community Events were also a thing. These I liked.​

January self-reflection event. Neat way to get some extra chance to write for a character and gloss over what others write about theirs.

February Valentine's letters. It's not real love until you write your heart out. To every single person you can come up with. Yes, I am a mad addict.

May event in designing and challenging creatures that ended up making it into lore after. Combining the best of a lot of what IH has to offer in creativity, systems, challenges and lore.

June event writing the day in the life of a high-ranking NPC. It was challenging to come up with one, but a fun exercises to get more into the lore of the world.

August's potion making event. Getting to craft consumables and use a more underused system in a fun and easy to access manner. I'd love to try that again.

December's White Elephant events remain a stable and probably my favourite. It's simple, it's easy, yet it's got the best of IH's skill/item designs, creativity, a bit of character interaction and a neat way to use IC.

Honourable mentions for some quick ones like St. Patty. Nova's bday event. Sheet making contest.

Some system update stuff.​

Updates to Heaven's Road, addition of Skill Mastery were neat.

Becoming a Hosted Project was a big surprise, but turned out really neat and well if you ask me. Huge compliments to the mods that kept reaching out to recruit new folk though. That isn't an easy task to keep up with and was/is extra needed as a result.

World Lore being added in and being made more public is really neat. Hoping for Dwarf Kingdom and more Sky Nation stuff. Also first Continent.

Contract feature being neat as I'm RP'ing a slaver.

Weapon and Magic Mastery overhaul probably turning out better, though perhaps still slightly off.

Lots of efforts put forwards to clarify. Clyvelle doing some amazing work there.

Standing Grade being a good new addition.

Grading sheets being pretty useful and a good way to have a bit more input as narrators.

Finally, the discord is really active.​

Can't tag you all. You know who you are on the Discord. You know how often (or not) we chat in there. Thanks. It's fun to have a place to unwind after work to share some hobbies, passions and ideas with.

Was a lot of fun and a cute coupling, definitely helped my writing and learning to go with the flow I can't control. XP
Very glad to have been a part of it and still look back on it fondly. :3

 

[Faynorae]

Alright, the year is ending. This old man is tired, but fireworks are keeping him up. So I've been compiling a list of ramblings about things that I look back upon with happy thoughts. It's always a good exercise to consciously be grateful of the good stuff you were blessed with in a year. Foods, friendships, comforts, etc. In my case, with my addiction levels, that includes RP. So to do as I said I would, here we go. (Also, I legit am tired by now as I edit in and off some stuff. The list might get more rambly and chaotic at points as a result. I will have forgotten stuff, but my eyes are falling shut...)

TheTimePiece [Gnollbone Village] Unwelcome Saviours. It seems like the start of the adventures between Saoirse and Ryuuji got graded earlier this year. The first canonised adventure of many. DarkKitsune Develius RavenSong – Having Eriedeth, Scylla and Baharius along was also neat. It was definitely a fun starting RP for my slaver character with a group like that.

SilverFeathers [Vegard City] Bishop's Back in Town. We started up this year by ending the arrival of Nashi. The good vibes of this RP immediately return, just by checking it out. Now I want Lirek and Taiji to arrive as well and to summon Hymn and Valhyr as protective spirits to the Holy City of Vegard. I'm totally not greedy with ambitious plans. (Also, I actually names them all without looking it up. I hope I also got the spelling right.)

TheTimePiece [Shade of the Fae See- Fae See] Home Sweet Home. Good vibes got graded earlier this year. Kalina finally having a family! We gotta figure out how to get more of it canonized (I think I'll eventually fully unmonster Kalina), but either way, those were some good and wholesome vibes worth revisiting.

TheTimePiece [Evergate Rampart] The Redder Snow It seems the continuation of Victorique and Kane's adventures also ended and got graded earlier this year. It's still yet another really fun dynamic I've got going with one of your characters. I also still love how she's been able to interact with the NPC's (like Eliza) as it somehow feels those were perfect for a snarky, more dishonest character like Victorique to bounce off of.

TheTimePiece [Liudong Lianhua Monastery] 'I'll Make Them Flourish No Matter What! I Can't Believe My Slaves Are This Capable!' I realised the year has had surprisingly few good titles like this one. How horrible is a title when you can't immediately read the entire plot in it? Either way, was a really fun one. Gotta visit the frog monks with the whole crew for some training or relaxation assets.

SilverFeathers [Yasaki City] The City of Reunion Pumpkaboom.

Rev IX [Stonewall Town] (Caelia Barony) – Hammer-on quality. Wow, Regula hooking up Ryan with a blacksmithing contract was this year? Somehow it feels both longer ago and more recent. And the dude still hasn't brought in any tailed folk to thank her for her efforts. Could be fun to see if we can take it up a notch with this contract at some point. Or get him in trouble with it for selling to monsters/criminals/slavers.

RavenSong [Ryken City] A Long Awaited Date Ah, their first real date. That was a fun one. Can't wait for the zoo coming up at some point. Next time they'll have to wonder if they should go with the two or bring half their harem.

Moonberry [Nan Pass Village] Search for the Skythorn Blossom & [Nan Pass Village] 聖域平和 Seiiki Heiwa: Bathing of the Blood You know. A narrator letting me kill a bear in one RP, then wash off the blood and eat the bear in another, is bound to give me good memories. These were a lot of fun. Let's see if we can get Almeida and Aedri to meet again. Also SixSense 's Kota. Otherwise Valerius will miss him.

Faynorae [Bishri City] ♡ φᾰεινός ♡ Oh, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun☆ You showed me what happens when someone makes every post into an art piece. Maps, RP'ing companions, embedded musics, custom sprites. Bloody hell, what a work. Not the sane thing, perhaps, but it was definitely a lot of fun to be part of. Some of these images need saving and framing on a wall.

RavenSong Sisyphus Happy @Erich @Viokii [The Underbelly] It's a Bloody Dragon Scale! & [The Underbelly] Where's this Bloody Dragon Scale?!? These were some really great RP's to revisit and re-use some former Skyhunter lore that still had plenty left to give for RP chances. Having you all on board for it felt like a perfect crew for such a job as well, providing a great range of characters that were all eccentric and exciting enough to keep up with the plot.

Femboy [Isekai Hell] The Gunhild one :3 Let others call it weird/random/stupid/silly/childish/cringe. It started as a meme of having a character into tails and somehow now I'm actually enjoying such RP's. Having Gunhild on board for RP's is also fun, to me at least. It's a character type that helps freshen stuff up compared to the many 'serious' ones. Also SixSense when will Kota return? TheTimePiece Also love the amount of RP's Teuihua tags along with with Regula. Probably the most loyal character in RP count wise.

Shatter Shard Spoiled Bread Clockwork_Magic Develius LightningJay [Frontier] (Highgrove/Caelia Barony) Never too Young to be a Goblin Slayer For sure one of my favourite adventure dungeon-crawling RP's of the year, if not of all time. The sheet chaos between the group splitting up just about everywhere and trying to group was a lot of fun. Who knew that I just had to get over my dislike of torturing my own characters and hurting underage ones to get something going? That sounds wrong. Anyhow, I hope Amice runs into one of yours again so she can show off the restored finger and tell them she's till mentally scared for life all better now.

Femboy [West Empire] A Legendairy humiliation, among other things... Best cow. I still love how she brings another dynamic to the slave-chains. She should totally sign back up. Also love the OOC banter about her being a good Cow. Cause she is. Best mooh.

TheTimePiece Femboy Maxxob Moonberry SixSense Elias Wren DarkKitsune FantasyCat Orikanyo Naythophyl Uasal Kikimura Tellussoil Rcticwolf
[Stonewall Town] (Caelia Barony) All's Fair in this Fair Fair Oh boy. That was a thing. Thank you all so much for joining me in that chaotic experiment and testing the depths of my addictions to their fullest. Also FantasyCat 'It's Kiyover' still gets me to chuckle. Also, also Rcticwolf if Soreiel ever returns to Regula's bathroom I can't guarantee her tails safety. That's not a threat, that's an invitation. Also, also, also Moonberry come sell more hair dye with Aedri. Also, also, also, also Maxxob DarkKitsune SixSense I still got an order pending for Tinkerer's Triage! Also, Novama thanks for grading even that madness. What do the kids say again? That's pretty GOATed of you.

StarPrincessVal [Harmog Kon'Roor Town] Girl Next Dar' & (Harmog Kon'Roor Town) Kuridan After Dar'k The fact that it's ended doesn't mean I can't look back and appreciate the most satisfying slow-burn and long-term romance plot I've had in my entire RP history. So that's what I'll do. Thank you for having been aboard for it for so long, cause it takes two to tango romance-plot. Even now, I can still draw from this to have the Plant figure herself out anew after how big this was on her development.

RavenSong The Witches Inferno With a girlfriend like that, who needs enemies? Heh. Still loving Scylla's more chaotic nature, even if she matured. Granted, Wanted title was a tad annoying, but you gotta pay up for overthrowing demon lords, I guess. It helps that TheTimePiece is making the Hasufer cult a model agency for pretty folk lately for sure. Also Femboy Viokii is best bot. I still think most others underappreciate how you basically allow folk to set a custom character response with her.

DarkKitsune [Ryken] The show must go on! It's still funny and scary alike how something simple, fun and wholesome got so screwed up in the aftermath due to [Wanted] titles. That said, this was a fun one co-narrating in trying to use my own companions to help push along some plot/interactions for others.

@Kikumura Femboy Clockwork_Magic Develius SilverFeathers Maxxob [Aslan City] I Summon Thee! You guys really helped show that having the right group of characters along and some good RP'ers on board can make even a plot as simple as 'Summon some stuff' work out great. This is probably one of the RP's where I felt like the cast helped carry it along the most, making it rise above its simple set-up and be a whole lot of fun to write for.

TheTimePiece Maxxob [Widersia, Eastern Border] Edge of Enigma Ah, boy. Almeida and Yunaesa is such a fun combination already. Having Daddymus thrown in there was the icing on the cake. Can't wait for them to go tell Daddymus what they did to a certain Elf necromancer not that long ago. The follow-up [Clockhaven – Widersia] Testing The Waters was also a lot of fun to narrate.

Femboy [The Republic - Gala'Kraoth] Return to Gala'Kraoth It felt like a risk having Regula leave her barony for this RP, but I say it paid off. I'm not sure if you believe me or how much it still matters to you, but I'll keep saying I enjoyed it.

Rev IX [Stonewall Town] (Caelia Barony) A Helping Hand. Part 1: Homecoming. & [The See - Frontier] A Helping Hand. Part 2: Journeying. & [The See - Frontier] A Helping Hand. Part 3: Bargaining. Thanks for entrusting me with creating the S-grade NPC capable of healing Ryan. It was a lot of fun coming up with how to get it done, split it among parts, try engage/challenge him, etc. Also still love the dynamic between him and Aileen and I'll admit she's come close to being made a full PC multiple times over for that reason.

Maxxob [Clockhaven - Widersia] A Rowdy Construct I'm glad I was able to get on board one of the starting RP's of your narration sprees. Definitely gave the doggo a worthy summon as well. I also loved him interacting with TheTimePiece Shael and Gwen_Temi Demeter after having met them a little at the tail end of the RP before. Plain guy LightningJay John also being a nice addition.

Maxxob Develius Clockwork_Magic Karcen Femboy [Ryken - Ryke] Those damned bandits! Another RP that I feel was a lot of fun due to the group that signed on for it. Not that the narration wasn't on point, of course, as it definitely was. Yet I felt like the dynamics between those signing up made it all the more fun.

Irihi [Eastern Border of the Fae See - M’lynra Village] - One Last Push Gotta respect how much you learned on the fly system-wise in this one. Needlessly to say, having TheTimePiece with Yuna on board and having Almeida meeting her buddy Giftvi Purpler again was also really neat. Develius Flare and Karcen Seranphina definitely started showing off being a neat duo even more in this one. Also, also, Irihi you surprised me in being able to keep up my posting paces and even making me think 'that was fast' at times. Also, also, also. Again Irihi I still love how we did a 180 from out of the box combat situation to Freshen Up [The See of Chearon - Tea Party] this into the box Tea Party chaos. (Even though we're fighting again.) Think you might be a top contender for neatest new narrator on the block in 2024.

Kikimura [Stonewall Town] (Caelia Barony) Not Your Average Catfight Is it weird that I loved how much you loved Ethel most of all for this RP? Because I did. Always great to see someone appreciate one of my favourite NPC's so much.

Karcen Naythophyl Megilagor [Kuridan: Yale Village] Spider Plant Soil Slice of Life, bits of combat, lots of talking. I'm still really happy to have had y'all on board and turn this into an RP with bits of everything. I'm also really glad how Karcen Nikita turning up and starting to follow Euthalia around turned out thus far. Definitely a great thing, as I was uncertain where to go with the character after the long-lasting romance RP's ended. Found her at a great time both IC and OOC in that regard.

Giftvi [Otenzal] A Night of Unspoken Truths Gotta love your eye for detail on lore, maps, cultures, etc. That shone through on this one, even when I joined it with a cotton-brain like Zahrah.

Maxxob Megilagor lanzandpine Faynorae Daddy Dream Femboy [Norroburry Village] High Altitude Kittens & [Norroburry Village] High Altitude Kittens Part 2 – A Purrfect Quest I knew I wanted my cat-finding quest to have some spice and magic to it. I didn't think I'd go into a part 2 (and likely part 3) with it. I didn't think I'd end up hosting for a fairly big (yet really fun) group. I didn't think I'd really enjoy RP'ing a haughty cat so much. Yet I was proven wrong on all fronts. Odd how one of my own narrations turned out into a little bit of a hidden gem for me, if that makes sense to say. I definitely started vibing with Maxxob 's Edwin's vibes more and more and I feel like lanzandpine 's Marius and Daddy Dream 's Amelia started playing into that pretty well. Same for Faynorae 's Aniel being a neat contrast to Megilagor 's Viole.

Maxxob [Erithis - The See] An Empire of corruption and single-mindedness It was really neat to have my good boy priest just be a good boy priest for this RP. One of those things that get me the feel-good vibes. Having Faynorae 's Siegfried joining and going into [/url=https://www.rpnation.com/threads/eraza-refaras-sound-horny-rumours.549346/][Eraza / Refara's Sound] Horny Rumours[/url] after kept those vibes going. Except with some added romance, of course.

TheTimePiece [Wapelin Woods-Oll's End] Oll’s End My Old Friend Part 1 Queen Ibby. May her rule over Oll's End be forever Cuddly. Gotta love how we've got the crew going with RavenSong Femboy and @Sisyphus Especially having them all for part 2 again as well. With an added Karcen 's Katja, of course. Feels like a neat group to be part off, that's balancing constantly on edge of chaotic-lewd and deadly-serious. Which is exactly what I think I personally enjoy the most.

TheTimePiece [Southern Fae See] Shady Shrooms Part 1 Really helping me out with this and getting Euthalia going and staying motivated with her after the romance plot endings. Getting her on track as a diplomat and gaining a new favourite Karcen pet Human. Also was fun to have [Vaitiare Town] Watering my Plant happening in-between both parts and heartspan Asahi was so much of a more fun and nicer addition to that RP than I expected him to be at first. I'm really glad we got the vibe with the fox NPC to click well enough to work out our antics in such a fun manner.

Etymarchen #TiefyForPC2025 #JusticeForTiefy #ThePeopleDemandTiefy. Gimmie.

Clockwork_Magic Shatter Shard Spoiled Bread TheTimePiece Lucius Cypher [Clockhaven] Investigate Around And Find Out I really tortured myself trying to get those maps, icons and whatnot to work. Yet what I still think is the fondest bit in memory, is how a small halfling managed to just phone in a executor, high level mage, an even shorter pirate folk with a big heart, a looming Orc and a goon with his full entourage. Feels like this was definitely one of my more high-effort RP's, but thanks to the crew it was also definitely worth it, so all in all one of the most satisfactory ones on my end.

TheTimePiece Megilagor Maxxob Karcen @Kagemalum Femboy [Quang] Property for my Property - Part 1: What's on Sale & [Quang – Sienna Estate] Property for my Property - Part 2: Let me iiiiin! & [West Empire - Cipactli Forest] Property for my Property - Part 3: Having a Wonderful Monstrous Time Not gonna lie, Saoirse wouldn't even be 1/10th as fun without all of you signing on. A slaver is nothing without her slaves, after all. Legit, though, I really appreciate the OOC trust in making a character so tied in with one of mine through such mechanics. It's not something I take for granted for folk to just do and especially not stick with, so the fact that we're already going into a part 3 and probably a part 4 before long (after some previous RP's that weren't parts of this series for some) is amazing.

Voider [Stonewall Town] (Caelia Barony) (N)ice to meet you again. Out of the many barony 1x1's I've ran (about a dozen this year iirc), this was probably my favourite. There's something really appealing about how Glacier interacted with my NPC's. The type of chill comfort food for the soul type vibe.

Novama [Fae See Wilderness] Enigmatic Verdant Trial After so many title quests for Victorique, I'm really curious to see where her quest will lead her now and I'm glad you were willing to step up to narrate it yourself.

DarkKitsune [Fae See - Strawtinlen River] River of Redemption I: The hunt before The Eclipse Definitely the one where I started appreciating your dedication to drawing your own art a lot more. I'm also glad you're open to feedback and interested where part 2 will take us next year.

Mephisto [On the Border of the See and Widersia, as Far South of Clockhaven as the River Goes] - The Devil's Favorite Holiday I never did ask why the area description ended up being [On the Border of the See and Widersia, as Far South of Clockhaven as the River Goes] all that instead of a dot on a map. Or why not just going [On the Border of the See and Widersia, as Far South of Clockhaven as the River Goes On That One Tip Point Thing Near the One Land Thing On the Center but Slightly to The Right of It Yet Not So Left As to be Leftist] instead. Anyhow, on a more serious note, if I'd RP'ed with you more prior to this, you'd have been a contender to hottest new narrator of the year for me. That said, I'm loving the Red Haven patron vibes a lot, even if I'm kinda lost on the plots sometimes, but that's become part of the chaotic fun for an RP I joined with one of my most chaotic characters. Cutiefly Spoiled Bread Irihi Stormbreaker, Miiya and Meredy are definitely a great fellow cast to enjoy it with as well.

Rev IX [Caelia Barony - Ryke] Be it Welcome or Unwelcome Not gonna lie, I'm kinda flattered you're asking me for advise on the occasion. You also did pretty well on using just the right amount of system to make it make sense, but to still have Regula break out in a sweat in this one. RavenSong Oh man, the return of Aria. That is really neat to have happen this year, even if it's at the end. Glad to have her back.

So many characters were made this year. Guess I'll pick a few I liked.​

Moonberry Izzy Can't go wrong with a pirate lady.

Maxxob Erich Zann We need more happiness research done.

Femboy Viokii I like big b... asset-owning bots and I cannot lie. Still think it's pretty neat how her personality setting thing works, which I think I said earlier as well, but it's getting late and I'm getting more rambly.

SixSense Julius Atreus Astolgia I'm still surprised Regula managed to vibe with him so well.

@Faynorea Aniel Valentino Don't you dare scoop him before he's hooked up Regula and perhaps some other characters of mine.

Maxxob Sir Edwin Stormcrest? Wait... you really made me appreciate the EDGE.

Develius Flare They're still among the hottest characters for sure.

Spoiled Bread Aqua Feels like she was made years ago, not this year, with how quickly I grew to like the character.

LightningJay John Don't become the next John Doe to vanish before John Doe had done what John Doe Does Doing Done. Or something. Anyway, I think you already got further than most in trying to make the 'plain' work out.

Clockwork_Magic Seira Steelwind Adorable looking characters. Cool knights. Both are good. You made them one. Pretty neat.

TheTimePiece Yunaesa Valerius says hi to Yuna and Zjorn.

Femboy Lei-Cao Cattlemaricanica Sedimentarius Formatta Taurus. Best Cow. Good Mooh. I await the return.

Maxxob Decimus Valerius He loosed eyes on Yuna and Almy for a moment and they're already getting in trouble with a freshly resurrected necromancer Elf. Anyhow, guess he showed me old guy characters can be fun to have in an RP. Didn't think that'd happen, but it did.

Kikimura Tomoko Brandy Insert image of fish. Was fun training arcing her.

Maxxob Koralia Ironjaw SSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRKKK!!!!! Anyhow, if she ever visits again, perhaps Regula knows what she'd want to win in a rematch now.

Naythophyl Aiden Thornheart Gotta love having had the busy bee in some RP's of mine.

Spoiled Bread Simi Small characters unite. Show the world that size doesn't matter.

Tau Yume Haven't RP'ed with her yet, unless her ability made me forget OOC as well. She's high on the list of those I want to RP with though.

Megilagor Viole With how many RP's I saw him in, it feels like he's been around way longer. Still neat to see more [Living Dolls] around.

Karcen Seraphina Making a sword work as a character for more than a one-off trope is pretty neat.

Karcen Nikita Emotional Support Humans are a thing now. I dig it.

Irihi Miiya Aether Birds of a feather, flock together. I wonder if that's how she ended up in an RP with Zahrah?

Megilagor Diego Argento I don't know squat about SCP, but that only makes it more fun to have someone from that universe IC.

Karcen Katja Galinka Muahuaha, my best 'steal' of the year. Seriously like how Kalina got her to tag into the Coven RP though.

Daddy Dream Amilia I wonder how long it'll take before she actually burns some fools down.

Ersatra Anastasia Von Arbin Shouldn't be long before she's the most asset-rich character in IH history. Who knows, once I got more ideas for Slice of Life / asset RP's, we can develop some of the stuff in the barony.

Maxxob Fenrir Hellsing Who's a good boy? Yes you are!

heartspan Asahi Fujikawa If RP rewards get approved by a grader, he may soon own some of IH's most valuable sketchy sketches.

Megilagor Alister Marrok Who's a good boy? Yes you are!

SixSense Viazen Cloudfall Failed to meet him, but I don't want to stop trying just yet.

Irihi Irihi Spokelse Such a great bonding ritual teacher.

Giftvi Minvera Rhea Albero With your eye for lore/detail/history stuff, I think she can become and remain one of the more in-depth characters before long.

Karcen Teti Who's a good maid? Yes you are!

NachoGod Qamar Kabus Is she still with us, or did she go to the big lämp?

Spoiled Bread Meredy Cainbell Why does the cane carry so much of the aesthetic so well?

lanzandpine Marius Roswell Didn't realise how relatively new he was. Let's not let the world corrupt him too much... hopefully.

Community Events were also a thing. These I liked.​

January self-reflection event. Neat way to get some extra chance to write for a character and gloss over what others write about theirs.

February Valentine's letters. It's not real love until you write your heart out. To every single person you can come up with. Yes, I am a mad addict.

May event in designing and challenging creatures that ended up making it into lore after. Combining the best of a lot of what IH has to offer in creativity, systems, challenges and lore.

June event writing the day in the life of a high-ranking NPC. It was challenging to come up with one, but a fun exercises to get more into the lore of the world.

August's potion making event. Getting to craft consumables and use a more underused system in a fun and easy to access manner. I'd love to try that again.

December's White Elephant events remain a stable and probably my favourite. It's simple, it's easy, yet it's got the best of IH's skill/item designs, creativity, a bit of character interaction and a neat way to use IC.

Honourable mentions for some quick ones like St. Patty. Nova's bday event. Sheet making contest.

Some system update stuff.​

Updates to Heaven's Road, addition of Skill Mastery were neat.

Becoming a Hosted Project was a big surprise, but turned out really neat and well if you ask me. Huge compliments to the mods that kept reaching out to recruit new folk though. That isn't an easy task to keep up with and was/is extra needed as a result.

World Lore being added in and being made more public is really neat. Hoping for Dwarf Kingdom and more Sky Nation stuff. Also first Continent.

Contract feature being neat as I'm RP'ing a slaver.

Weapon and Magic Mastery overhaul probably turning out better, though perhaps still slightly off.

Lots of efforts put forwards to clarify. Clyvelle doing some amazing work there.

Standing Grade being a good new addition.

Grading sheets being pretty useful and a good way to have a bit more input as narrators.

Finally, the discord is really active.​

Can't tag you all. You know who you are on the Discord. You know how often (or not) we chat in there. Thanks. It's fun to have a place to unwind after work to share some hobbies, passions and ideas with.

I didn't immediately react to this like I normally do because it seemed very meaningful and profound so I read through it first and collected my thoughts. Anyway, my thoughts have collected and I AM CRYING (tears of joy), WHAT THE HELL IS THIS THIS IS SO NICE AHHHHHH I LOVE YOU ELVADFKGJAL:SGJA:SGK:AG ♡♡♡♡also how you said I made my rps into a form of art with all the stuff I do is really making me want to live up to the praise and do my best with each and everyone ;;;;;

Much love ♡

Much praise ♡

Very admiration

Please continue gracing my life with your existence, writing and songs,
Aya ♡

also merry first of January you sappy old pup;_;♡

 

[Rcticwolf]

Alright, the year is ending. This old man is tired, but fireworks are keeping him up. So I've been compiling a list of ramblings about things that I look back upon with happy thoughts. It's always a good exercise to consciously be grateful of the good stuff you were blessed with in a year. Foods, friendships, comforts, etc. In my case, with my addiction levels, that includes RP. So to do as I said I would, here we go. (Also, I legit am tired by now as I edit in and off some stuff. The list might get more rambly and chaotic at points as a result. I will have forgotten stuff, but my eyes are falling shut...)

TheTimePiece [Gnollbone Village] Unwelcome Saviours. It seems like the start of the adventures between Saoirse and Ryuuji got graded earlier this year. The first canonised adventure of many. DarkKitsune Develius RavenSong – Having Eriedeth, Scylla and Baharius along was also neat. It was definitely a fun starting RP for my slaver character with a group like that.

SilverFeathers [Vegard City] Bishop's Back in Town. We started up this year by ending the arrival of Nashi. The good vibes of this RP immediately return, just by checking it out. Now I want Lirek and Taiji to arrive as well and to summon Hymn and Valhyr as protective spirits to the Holy City of Vegard. I'm totally not greedy with ambitious plans. (Also, I actually names them all without looking it up. I hope I also got the spelling right.)

TheTimePiece [Shade of the Fae See- Fae See] Home Sweet Home. Good vibes got graded earlier this year. Kalina finally having a family! We gotta figure out how to get more of it canonized (I think I'll eventually fully unmonster Kalina), but either way, those were some good and wholesome vibes worth revisiting.

TheTimePiece [Evergate Rampart] The Redder Snow It seems the continuation of Victorique and Kane's adventures also ended and got graded earlier this year. It's still yet another really fun dynamic I've got going with one of your characters. I also still love how she's been able to interact with the NPC's (like Eliza) as it somehow feels those were perfect for a snarky, more dishonest character like Victorique to bounce off of.

TheTimePiece [Liudong Lianhua Monastery] 'I'll Make Them Flourish No Matter What! I Can't Believe My Slaves Are This Capable!' I realised the year has had surprisingly few good titles like this one. How horrible is a title when you can't immediately read the entire plot in it? Either way, was a really fun one. Gotta visit the frog monks with the whole crew for some training or relaxation assets.

SilverFeathers [Yasaki City] The City of Reunion Pumpkaboom.

Rev IX [Stonewall Town] (Caelia Barony) – Hammer-on quality. Wow, Regula hooking up Ryan with a blacksmithing contract was this year? Somehow it feels both longer ago and more recent. And the dude still hasn't brought in any tailed folk to thank her for her efforts. Could be fun to see if we can take it up a notch with this contract at some point. Or get him in trouble with it for selling to monsters/criminals/slavers.

RavenSong [Ryken City] A Long Awaited Date Ah, their first real date. That was a fun one. Can't wait for the zoo coming up at some point. Next time they'll have to wonder if they should go with the two or bring half their harem.

Moonberry [Nan Pass Village] Search for the Skythorn Blossom & [Nan Pass Village] 聖域平和 Seiiki Heiwa: Bathing of the Blood You know. A narrator letting me kill a bear in one RP, then wash off the blood and eat the bear in another, is bound to give me good memories. These were a lot of fun. Let's see if we can get Almeida and Aedri to meet again. Also SixSense 's Kota. Otherwise Valerius will miss him.

Faynorae [Bishri City] ♡ φᾰεινός ♡ Oh, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun☆ You showed me what happens when someone makes every post into an art piece. Maps, RP'ing companions, embedded musics, custom sprites. Bloody hell, what a work. Not the sane thing, perhaps, but it was definitely a lot of fun to be part of. Some of these images need saving and framing on a wall.

RavenSong Sisyphus Happy @Erich @Viokii [The Underbelly] It's a Bloody Dragon Scale! & [The Underbelly] Where's this Bloody Dragon Scale?!? These were some really great RP's to revisit and re-use some former Skyhunter lore that still had plenty left to give for RP chances. Having you all on board for it felt like a perfect crew for such a job as well, providing a great range of characters that were all eccentric and exciting enough to keep up with the plot.

Femboy [Isekai Hell] The Gunhild one :3 Let others call it weird/random/stupid/silly/childish/cringe. It started as a meme of having a character into tails and somehow now I'm actually enjoying such RP's. Having Gunhild on board for RP's is also fun, to me at least. It's a character type that helps freshen stuff up compared to the many 'serious' ones. Also SixSense when will Kota return? TheTimePiece Also love the amount of RP's Teuihua tags along with with Regula. Probably the most loyal character in RP count wise.

Shatter Shard Spoiled Bread Clockwork_Magic Develius LightningJay [Frontier] (Highgrove/Caelia Barony) Never too Young to be a Goblin Slayer For sure one of my favourite adventure dungeon-crawling RP's of the year, if not of all time. The sheet chaos between the group splitting up just about everywhere and trying to group was a lot of fun. Who knew that I just had to get over my dislike of torturing my own characters and hurting underage ones to get something going? That sounds wrong. Anyhow, I hope Amice runs into one of yours again so she can show off the restored finger and tell them she's till mentally scared for life all better now.

Femboy [West Empire] A Legendairy humiliation, among other things... Best cow. I still love how she brings another dynamic to the slave-chains. She should totally sign back up. Also love the OOC banter about her being a good Cow. Cause she is. Best mooh.

TheTimePiece Femboy Maxxob Moonberry SixSense @Elias_Wren DarkKitsune FantasyCat Orikanyo Naythophyl Uasal Kikimura Tellussoil Rcticwolf
[Stonewall Town] (Caelia Barony) All's Fair in this Fair Fair Oh boy. That was a thing. Thank you all so much for joining me in that chaotic experiment and testing the depths of my addictions to their fullest. Also FantasyCat 'It's Kiyover' still gets me to chuckle. Also, also Rcticwolf if Soreiel ever returns to Regula's bathroom I can't guarantee her tails safety. That's not a threat, that's an invitation. Also, also, also Moonberry come sell more hair dye with Aedri. Also, also, also, also Maxxob DarkKitsune SixSense I still got an order pending for Tinkerer's Triage! Also, Novama thanks for grading even that madness. What do the kids say again? That's pretty GOATed of you.

StarPrincessVal [Harmog Kon'Roor Town] Girl Next Dar' & (Harmog Kon'Roor Town) Kuridan After Dar'k The fact that it's ended doesn't mean I can't look back and appreciate the most satisfying slow-burn and long-term romance plot I've had in my entire RP history. So that's what I'll do. Thank you for having been aboard for it for so long, cause it takes two to tango romance-plot. Even now, I can still draw from this to have the Plant figure herself out anew after how big this was on her development.

RavenSong The Witches Inferno With a girlfriend like that, who needs enemies? Heh. Still loving Scylla's more chaotic nature, even if she matured. Granted, Wanted title was a tad annoying, but you gotta pay up for overthrowing demon lords, I guess. It helps that TheTimePiece is making the Hasufer cult a model agency for pretty folk lately for sure. Also Femboy Viokii is best bot. I still think most others underappreciate how you basically allow folk to set a custom character response with her.

DarkKitsune [Ryken] The show must go on! It's still funny and scary alike how something simple, fun and wholesome got so screwed up in the aftermath due to [Wanted] titles. That said, this was a fun one co-narrating in trying to use my own companions to help push along some plot/interactions for others.

@Kikumura Femboy Clockwork_Magic Develius SilverFeathers Maxxob [Aslan City] I Summon Thee! You guys really helped show that having the right group of characters along and some good RP'ers on board can make even a plot as simple as 'Summon some stuff' work out great. This is probably one of the RP's where I felt like the cast helped carry it along the most, making it rise above its simple set-up and be a whole lot of fun to write for.

TheTimePiece Maxxob [Widersia, Eastern Border] Edge of Enigma Ah, boy. Almeida and Yunaesa is such a fun combination already. Having Daddymus thrown in there was the icing on the cake. Can't wait for them to go tell Daddymus what they did to a certain Elf necromancer not that long ago. The follow-up [Clockhaven – Widersia] Testing The Waters was also a lot of fun to narrate.

Femboy [The Republic - Gala'Kraoth] Return to Gala'Kraoth It felt like a risk having Regula leave her barony for this RP, but I say it paid off. I'm not sure if you believe me or how much it still matters to you, but I'll keep saying I enjoyed it.

Rev IX [Stonewall Town] (Caelia Barony) A Helping Hand. Part 1: Homecoming. & [The See - Frontier] A Helping Hand. Part 2: Journeying. & [The See - Frontier] A Helping Hand. Part 3: Bargaining. Thanks for entrusting me with creating the S-grade NPC capable of healing Ryan. It was a lot of fun coming up with how to get it done, split it among parts, try engage/challenge him, etc. Also still love the dynamic between him and Aileen and I'll admit she's come close to being made a full PC multiple times over for that reason.

Maxxob [Clockhaven - Widersia] A Rowdy Construct I'm glad I was able to get on board one of the starting RP's of your narration sprees. Definitely gave the doggo a worthy summon as well. I also loved him interacting with TheTimePiece Shael and Gwen_Temi Demeter after having met them a little at the tail end of the RP before. Plain guy LightningJay John also being a nice addition.

Maxxob Develius Clockwork_Magic Karcen Femboy [Ryken - Ryke] Those damned bandits! Another RP that I feel was a lot of fun due to the group that signed on for it. Not that the narration wasn't on point, of course, as it definitely was. Yet I felt like the dynamics between those signing up made it all the more fun.

Irihi [Eastern Border of the Fae See - M’lynra Village] - One Last Push Gotta respect how much you learned on the fly system-wise in this one. Needlessly to say, having TheTimePiece with Yuna on board and having Almeida meeting her buddy Giftvi Purpler again was also really neat. Develius Flare and Karcen Seranphina definitely started showing off being a neat duo even more in this one. Also, also, Irihi you surprised me in being able to keep up my posting paces and even making me think 'that was fast' at times. Also, also, also. Again Irihi I still love how we did a 180 from out of the box combat situation to Freshen Up [The See of Chearon - Tea Party] this into the box Tea Party chaos. (Even though we're fighting again.) Think you might be a top contender for neatest new narrator on the block in 2024.

Kikimura [Stonewall Town] (Caelia Barony) Not Your Average Catfight Is it weird that I loved how much you loved Ethel most of all for this RP? Because I did. Always great to see someone appreciate one of my favourite NPC's so much.

Karcen Naythophyl Megilagor [Kuridan: Yale Village] Spider Plant Soil Slice of Life, bits of combat, lots of talking. I'm still really happy to have had y'all on board and turn this into an RP with bits of everything. I'm also really glad how Karcen Nikita turning up and starting to follow Euthalia around turned out thus far. Definitely a great thing, as I was uncertain where to go with the character after the long-lasting romance RP's ended. Found her at a great time both IC and OOC in that regard.

Giftvi [Otenzal] A Night of Unspoken Truths Gotta love your eye for detail on lore, maps, cultures, etc. That shone through on this one, even when I joined it with a cotton-brain like Zahrah.

Maxxob Megilagor lanzandpine Faynorae Daddy Dream Femboy [Norroburry Village] High Altitude Kittens & [Norroburry Village] High Altitude Kittens Part 2 – A Purrfect Quest I knew I wanted my cat-finding quest to have some spice and magic to it. I didn't think I'd go into a part 2 (and likely part 3) with it. I didn't think I'd end up hosting for a fairly big (yet really fun) group. I didn't think I'd really enjoy RP'ing a haughty cat so much. Yet I was proven wrong on all fronts. Odd how one of my own narrations turned out into a little bit of a hidden gem for me, if that makes sense to say. I definitely started vibing with Maxxob 's Edwin's vibes more and more and I feel like lanzandpine 's Marius and Daddy Dream 's Amelia started playing into that pretty well. Same for Faynorae 's Aniel being a neat contrast to Megilagor 's Viole.

Maxxob [Erithis - The See] An Empire of corruption and single-mindedness It was really neat to have my good boy priest just be a good boy priest for this RP. One of those things that get me the feel-good vibes. Having Faynorae 's Siegfried joining and going into [/url=Finished - [Eraza / Refara's Sound] Horny Rumours][Eraza / Refara's Sound] Horny Rumours[/url] after kept those vibes going. Except with some added romance, of course.

TheTimePiece [Wapelin Woods-Oll's End] Oll’s End My Old Friend Part 1 Queen Ibby. May her rule over Oll's End be forever Cuddly. Gotta love how we've got the crew going with RavenSong Femboy and @Sisyphus Especially having them all for part 2 again as well. With an added Karcen 's Katja, of course. Feels like a neat group to be part off, that's balancing constantly on edge of chaotic-lewd and deadly-serious. Which is exactly what I think I personally enjoy the most.

TheTimePiece [Southern Fae See] Shady Shrooms Part 1 Really helping me out with this and getting Euthalia going and staying motivated with her after the romance plot endings. Getting her on track as a diplomat and gaining a new favourite Karcen pet Human. Also was fun to have [Vaitiare Town] Watering my Plant happening in-between both parts and heartspan Asahi was so much of a more fun and nicer addition to that RP than I expected him to be at first. I'm really glad we got the vibe with the fox NPC to click well enough to work out our antics in such a fun manner.

Etymarchen #TiefyForPC2025 #JusticeForTiefy #ThePeopleDemandTiefy. Gimmie.

Clockwork_Magic Shatter Shard Spoiled Bread TheTimePiece Lucius Cypher [Clockhaven] Investigate Around And Find Out I really tortured myself trying to get those maps, icons and whatnot to work. Yet what I still think is the fondest bit in memory, is how a small halfling managed to just phone in a executor, high level mage, an even shorter pirate folk with a big heart, a looming Orc and a goon with his full entourage. Feels like this was definitely one of my more high-effort RP's, but thanks to the crew it was also definitely worth it, so all in all one of the most satisfactory ones on my end.

TheTimePiece Megilagor Maxxob Karcen @Kagemalum Femboy [Quang] Property for my Property - Part 1: What's on Sale & [Quang – Sienna Estate] Property for my Property - Part 2: Let me iiiiin! & [West Empire - Cipactli Forest] Property for my Property - Part 3: Having a Wonderful Monstrous Time Not gonna lie, Saoirse wouldn't even be 1/10th as fun without all of you signing on. A slaver is nothing without her slaves, after all. Legit, though, I really appreciate the OOC trust in making a character so tied in with one of mine through such mechanics. It's not something I take for granted for folk to just do and especially not stick with, so the fact that we're already going into a part 3 and probably a part 4 before long (after some previous RP's that weren't parts of this series for some) is amazing.

Voider [Stonewall Town] (Caelia Barony) (N)ice to meet you again. Out of the many barony 1x1's I've ran (about a dozen this year iirc), this was probably my favourite. There's something really appealing about how Glacier interacted with my NPC's. The type of chill comfort food for the soul type vibe.

Novama [Fae See Wilderness] Enigmatic Verdant Trial After so many title quests for Victorique, I'm really curious to see where her quest will lead her now and I'm glad you were willing to step up to narrate it yourself.

DarkKitsune [Fae See - Strawtinlen River] River of Redemption I: The hunt before The Eclipse Definitely the one where I started appreciating your dedication to drawing your own art a lot more. I'm also glad you're open to feedback and interested where part 2 will take us next year.

Mephisto [On the Border of the See and Widersia, as Far South of Clockhaven as the River Goes] - The Devil's Favorite Holiday I never did ask why the area description ended up being [On the Border of the See and Widersia, as Far South of Clockhaven as the River Goes] all that instead of a dot on a map. Or why not just going [On the Border of the See and Widersia, as Far South of Clockhaven as the River Goes On That One Tip Point Thing Near the One Land Thing On the Center but Slightly to The Right of It Yet Not So Left As to be Leftist] instead. Anyhow, on a more serious note, if I'd RP'ed with you more prior to this, you'd have been a contender to hottest new narrator of the year for me. That said, I'm loving the Red Haven patron vibes a lot, even if I'm kinda lost on the plots sometimes, but that's become part of the chaotic fun for an RP I joined with one of my most chaotic characters. Cutiefly Spoiled Bread Irihi Stormbreaker, Miiya and Meredy are definitely a great fellow cast to enjoy it with as well.

Rev IX [Caelia Barony - Ryke] Be it Welcome or Unwelcome Not gonna lie, I'm kinda flattered you're asking me for advise on the occasion. You also did pretty well on using just the right amount of system to make it make sense, but to still have Regula break out in a sweat in this one. RavenSong Oh man, the return of Aria. That is really neat to have happen this year, even if it's at the end. Glad to have her back.

So many characters were made this year. Guess I'll pick a few I liked.​

Moonberry Izzy Can't go wrong with a pirate lady.

Maxxob Erich Zann We need more happiness research done.

Femboy Viokii I like big b... asset-owning bots and I cannot lie. Still think it's pretty neat how her personality setting thing works, which I think I said earlier as well, but it's getting late and I'm getting more rambly.

SixSense Julius Atreus Astolgia I'm still surprised Regula managed to vibe with him so well.

@Faynorea Aniel Valentino Don't you dare scoop him before he's hooked up Regula and perhaps some other characters of mine.

Maxxob Sir Edwin Stormcrest? Wait... you really made me appreciate the EDGE.

Develius Flare They're still among the hottest characters for sure.

Spoiled Bread Aqua Feels like she was made years ago, not this year, with how quickly I grew to like the character.

LightningJay John Don't become the next John Doe to vanish before John Doe had done what John Doe Does Doing Done. Or something. Anyway, I think you already got further than most in trying to make the 'plain' work out.

Clockwork_Magic Seira Steelwind Adorable looking characters. Cool knights. Both are good. You made them one. Pretty neat.

TheTimePiece Yunaesa Valerius says hi to Yuna and Zjorn.

Femboy Lei-Cao Cattlemaricanica Sedimentarius Formatta Taurus. Best Cow. Good Mooh. I await the return.

Maxxob Decimus Valerius He loosed eyes on Yuna and Almy for a moment and they're already getting in trouble with a freshly resurrected necromancer Elf. Anyhow, guess he showed me old guy characters can be fun to have in an RP. Didn't think that'd happen, but it did.

Kikimura Tomoko Brandy Insert image of fish. Was fun training arcing her.

Maxxob Koralia Ironjaw SSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRKKK!!!!! Anyhow, if she ever visits again, perhaps Regula knows what she'd want to win in a rematch now.

Naythophyl Aiden Thornheart Gotta love having had the busy bee in some RP's of mine.

Spoiled Bread Simi Small characters unite. Show the world that size doesn't matter.

Tau Yume Haven't RP'ed with her yet, unless her ability made me forget OOC as well. She's high on the list of those I want to RP with though.

Megilagor Viole With how many RP's I saw him in, it feels like he's been around way longer. Still neat to see more [Living Dolls] around.

Karcen Seraphina Making a sword work as a character for more than a one-off trope is pretty neat.

Karcen Nikita Emotional Support Humans are a thing now. I dig it.

Irihi Miiya Aether Birds of a feather, flock together. I wonder if that's how she ended up in an RP with Zahrah?

Megilagor Diego Argento I don't know squat about SCP, but that only makes it more fun to have someone from that universe IC.

Karcen Katja Galinka Muahuaha, my best 'steal' of the year. Seriously like how Kalina got her to tag into the Coven RP though.

Daddy Dream Amilia I wonder how long it'll take before she actually burns some fools down.

Ersatra Anastasia Von Arbin Shouldn't be long before she's the most asset-rich character in IH history. Who knows, once I got more ideas for Slice of Life / asset RP's, we can develop some of the stuff in the barony.

Maxxob Fenrir Hellsing Who's a good boy? Yes you are!

heartspan Asahi Fujikawa If RP rewards get approved by a grader, he may soon own some of IH's most valuable sketchy sketches.

Megilagor Alister Marrok Who's a good boy? Yes you are!

SixSense Viazen Cloudfall Failed to meet him, but I don't want to stop trying just yet.

Irihi Irihi Spokelse Such a great bonding ritual teacher.

Giftvi Minvera Rhea Albero With your eye for lore/detail/history stuff, I think she can become and remain one of the more in-depth characters before long.

Karcen Teti Who's a good maid? Yes you are!

NachoGod Qamar Kabus Is she still with us, or did she go to the big lämp?

Spoiled Bread Meredy Cainbell Why does the cane carry so much of the aesthetic so well?

lanzandpine Marius Roswell Didn't realise how relatively new he was. Let's not let the world corrupt him too much... hopefully.

Community Events were also a thing. These I liked.​

January self-reflection event. Neat way to get some extra chance to write for a character and gloss over what others write about theirs.

February Valentine's letters. It's not real love until you write your heart out. To every single person you can come up with. Yes, I am a mad addict.

May event in designing and challenging creatures that ended up making it into lore after. Combining the best of a lot of what IH has to offer in creativity, systems, challenges and lore.

June event writing the day in the life of a high-ranking NPC. It was challenging to come up with one, but a fun exercises to get more into the lore of the world.

August's potion making event. Getting to craft consumables and use a more underused system in a fun and easy to access manner. I'd love to try that again.

December's White Elephant events remain a stable and probably my favourite. It's simple, it's easy, yet it's got the best of IH's skill/item designs, creativity, a bit of character interaction and a neat way to use IC.

Honourable mentions for some quick ones like St. Patty. Nova's bday event. Sheet making contest.

Some system update stuff.​

Updates to Heaven's Road, addition of Skill Mastery were neat.

Becoming a Hosted Project was a big surprise, but turned out really neat and well if you ask me. Huge compliments to the mods that kept reaching out to recruit new folk though. That isn't an easy task to keep up with and was/is extra needed as a result.

World Lore being added in and being made more public is really neat. Hoping for Dwarf Kingdom and more Sky Nation stuff. Also first Continent.

Contract feature being neat as I'm RP'ing a slaver.

Weapon and Magic Mastery overhaul probably turning out better, though perhaps still slightly off.

Lots of efforts put forwards to clarify. Clyvelle doing some amazing work there.

Standing Grade being a good new addition.

Grading sheets being pretty useful and a good way to have a bit more input as narrators.

Finally, the discord is really active.​

Can't tag you all. You know who you are on the Discord. You know how often (or not) we chat in there. Thanks. It's fun to have a place to unwind after work to share some hobbies, passions and ideas with.

All I can say is we shall see, although since I deleted her sheet I will change her for the most part, I’ve realized I am not reserved enough to play that type of character

Love you! ^^

So basically in between pal world, work and life...I am reading several mangos at once. my favorite isekai manwhas at the moment are the 31st chess piece over takes the board, the regressor of the fallen family(more for the econ part of the story), and the greatest estate developer.

In the 31st piece manwha the mc basically is a shadow summoner. He revives a dead guy and based on his stats, the summon gets nerfed or buffed to meet his level and he equips magic stuff to them. Very fun isekai but I was wondering if this type of rp character would be viable in this rp.

Second is the regressor of the fallen family. I really love stories where an mc rebuilds a failing county into a vibrant economic powerhouse. It's just the right amount of cultivation and econ to make me happy..but I am not sure how viable it would be in an rp. He needed dwarfs to make his machine gun crossbows and he needed an entire labor army to make a dam and a mine.

So like I read the interest check and it said I can level up the world or contribute to its downfall lol. But even I think this is a little too...much to make possible but I didn't want to assume it's not possible if I developed a story to make it possible.

Third is the greatest estate developer. Man uses all his powers for construction. He is committed to using a dragon for poop removal and to using a grand sword master who can solo a continent...for building railroads and stuff. He also convinced elves and orcs to help him build apartments and stuff...

But that said...even if I could get the summons to do construction jobs...he's basically commanding demon armies and Undead armies for labor haha.

So I just wanted to see, are these ambitions compatible with this rp or are they too incompatible with group rp? I like the fact you guys have a market place to trade goods. I like the grading aspect of rp story lines. Brings me back to my good old days rping in a naruto forum haha but I wanted to check if any of my ideas would work.

And more importantly I wanted to ask, in 3 years, what's the coolest grandest thing a player or group of players has done in isekai hell?

Ty for your time if you read :bows:

In essence, many of these ideas work. The first seems more or less something between someone with #necromancy skill, #magic skill and #enchanting at a glance The second idea is more or less fully possible and is more or less something along the lines of an #artisan and someone with #business skill who's RP'd for a bunch of #assets. If he were needed somewhere, I might be tempted to say a war-torn place like Rotia which struggles from constant monster attacks might be his type of place. Being the greatest real estate developer is another thing you can do. #Architecture and RP as someone with you guessed it, #business. Everything I put a # sign by is a skill which exists and the function of such can seen in the section of the rules that reads "Skills List"

By now I suppose your wondering what the catch is.

To put it simply, time. Individual Power akin to an anime character can be obtained almost naturally through just participating in a constant and steady stream of RPs. It comes rather naturally. But influences tends to have to be directly sought out through either earning it from regular RPs OR doing RPs related to those subjects.

I would say the grandest thing someone has done that I'm aware of is being able to own a small country/territory through a few years RP. And it's incorporated into Isekai Hell's Map. Elvario has a character named Regula who owns a small territory of her own, populated with various NPCs and such of his own make. And his character is the baroness of said place. A workforce, guards and general citizens more or less is functionally owned by one character and incorporated into the Lore through what amounted to years of hard work. I cover this in mostly broad strokes as a relevant example of what can be accomplished.

In essence -- as long as you
1. Dedicate Time
2. Are willing to start from basically the bottom
3. Can find people to write with

Most of what I see you mention can be accomplished. Given the example that someone already owns a fairly sizeable chunk of territory. A couple of people are shooting for similar, and we'll see how it goes.

But most people get bored, give up, don't know how to go about doing it or might find another character concept strongly resonant with what they'd like to do. If this is what you desire, you'll likely be able to accomplish what it is you desire. It's recently gotten a little easier to acquire assets as basically you can tie asset acquisition into many RPs. And you can gain it from slice of life, political intrigue or combat as long as a way is found to tie it back to that asset. (Many ways up the mountains menas potential for the process to be more fun.)

Tldr; yeah with some time and elbow grease

How dare you, thank you

hehe appreciate the reply. No promises I won't have starter syndrome, but it will take more than time needed to dissuade me. hehe Elvario sounds like a man culture and so do you! I will have to start brainstorming my own twist on these things then! Although I love the greatest estate dev, I dont wanna be a carbon copy. but building a nest egg like a fancy tree house sounds awesome.

and the skills list sounds so fun. I like that there is business and architecture and crafting hahaha
