ATTN: TEXAS CHAINSAW MOD POST

Alrighty, ladies and gentlemuns, the Allpocalypse is ticking ever closer, which means it's time to start planning the party. So! What I want to hear from y'all is:

  • What particular flavour of doom you're bringing to the bash. Whether it's a Doomsday device going off, your canon's Elder Gods showing up outside the window all UUUEEAAARGHRGHBLARGH FOOLISH MORTALS, your superpowered character Hulking out and melting people's brains, whatever. Let me know what you're planning!



  • How does it work? What does it do? How fast? What is the underlying canonical principle by which it operates? What rules govern it?
    • For example: "Character X is going to get possessed and cast a spell that turns everyone it touches into woodchucks. His canon's type of magic works independently of the person who casts it, so once he's done it, knocking him out won't make a difference; also, canonically, spells only affect people who are also magic-users/supernatural in some way. His canon's magic system works like XYZ, with rules 123, which affects the way it interacts with ABC." More information = more better!

    • Explain it as you would to a five year old, or someone who's never seen/read/heard of your canon before - because in all likelihood, I haven't! Saying, "My character has the power of Jorbus the Effulgent, and can cause quantral vibrations on a nordonic scale!" is no good if I don't know what any of those things mean or how they work.



  • What type of thing could set it off? What type of thing could shut it down, or balance out its effect, or transform its effect into something different?
    • If you yourself have any ideas on how it could interact/affect/be affected by any of the other things that are in the bar, feel free to mention them here!



  • Your email address! I'm hoping the way this will work is that I will be able to split y'all up into smaller groups to coordinate and initiate 'stages' of the Allpocalypse. Or... something along those lines, anyway.



  • Whether or not whatever you're planning is a secret.



  • Uh... anything else you feel is relevant!
The idea is (more or less) to set up a sort of giant, cosmic, wibbly-wobbly supernatural Möbius Rube Goldberg machine, and get as much concentrated Eau de Shenanigans as possible out of it while still limiting the amount of actual death and destruction that would realistically happen as a result of, you know, ALL THE APOCALYPSES.

Comments are screened, so if you've got a surprise up your sleeve, the only people who will see it are myself, the other mods, and whoever I match you up with for Allpocalyptic funtimes!
