Hey, no peeking! Just kidding - but this is a work in progress guide that is not active yet; contents are likely to change before they are finalized! :)
Process
- Players can initiate the game by using the template below in the #catalysts-and-games Discord channel or by posting on the Support Board.
- Players get one free attempt per month without posting; they can choose any of their characters to use the monthly freebie. After the freebie is used, players have to post characters in order to be able to access the game. For example, if I post Ashbel twice and Leona once in a month, then Ashbel can play the game twice, Leona can play once, and for my bonus freebie I can have Inarius play once.
- Monthly freebies & earned games do not stack/roll over month to month, so make sure to use them when you have them!
- All characters start with an available pool of X Action Points (AP) that can be used for any task(s) during the course of the event. Various factors - including a character's level, special offers, injuries or illnesses, etc. - can impact a character's AP during the event; if they hit 0AP, or if there is not enough AP for the available tasks, the game will automatically end.
Collection
- During this stage, characters will attempt to harvest various products from the environment (based on what you choose).
- If you already have products in your Collection Inventory, you can skip to the Crafting stage.
- Support will roll for your initial tasks and provide you with results. At this time, you can decide to stop the game, continue collecting products, or proceed to the Crafting stage.
Crafting
- If you elect to proceed to the Crafting stage, Support will provide you with a list of recipes you can craft from your inventory and available products that can be borrowed from the Coalition's stores to enhance your recipe or allow you to access additional recipes; the items available from the stores will vary each attempt. You can choose to complete one of the recipes or Experiment, which has a chance to create a new recipe.
- Support will roll for you and provide you with results. If you have any AP remaining, you can decide to continue Crafting, go back to Collection, or stop the game.
