Summer Camp 2023

With everything else going on right now, and running two new businesses, my goal for this summer camp is very simply Copper. Eight very simple prompts during the month. This should give me the balance that it seems that am needing at the moment, which is good. Time to blend my creative aspirations back into my busy day.

I will be making use of the amazing score card from Graylion to keep track of my prompts while still tagging them with the sc-23 tag.

Copper Power

8 Prompts

2 Wild Card Prompts

Theme Description

We are currently focusing on the world of Milleadh, and while there are many types of power, elemental, political, magical, etc, there are three main powerful organizations: The Hest Clan, the CEIE, and the Anvil. While I have the basis of the Heist clan, I could build out some of the individuals a bit more. However given the current campaign in Milleadh it might be more beneficial to flesh out the CEIE a bit more and perhaps even those involved in the disappearances around Hollowburry.

My Goal

The goal will be to build out some of the CEIE and finally figure out what went so wrong with that group and why it isn't like Hona remembers, all about keeping the balance.

Silver Frontier

8 Prompts

2 Wild Card Prompts

Theme Description

I want to keep my focus on Hellonde so I could write about the Icraiba Empire, or even the DragonFire lands of the Menait Dynasty. Both could be seen as frontiers to certain races. We are experiencing a frontier of medicine which could be a blast to mess around with particularly with the doctors involved in the missing people, and the dark magic involved as well.

My Goal

Gold Relics

8 Prompts

2 Wild Card Prompts

Theme Description

Relics are fun. I've already started to add in some legendary ones from the gods, and elementals. This could provide some fun ideas for new types of relics that I hadn't considered before, which is always great.

My Goal

Diamond Communication

8 Prompts

2 Wild Card Prompts

Theme Description

Oh there are so many ideas here. I mean I just gave my players a mirror that allows them to communicate with one of the big bads. There's scrolls, magic "business cards" spy networks, multiple languages, technology, and books......I'm kind of excited for these prompts not going to lie.

Best of luck reaching for copper among all the responsibilities of teaching your kids and working on your businesses! I'm already looking forward to reading your work! ^^

Will you help me Bolstering the Penguin Army in South Africa?

Thank you. I'm looking forward to next month way more than I realized.

You sound a bit busy! Nice, good to keep busy most of the time, but don't forget to take a moment for yourself to relax. Good luck on your goals for Summer Camp!

Jun 25, 2023 16:34 by Amanda McRoberts

Being creative is relaxing. I pushed myself way too hard to develop what I have so far here in Aegimius and was going down the Elven Shoes Road with mushroom people and a whole lot of stuff that wasn't really necessary. So hopefully just keeping nights to WA and Summer Camp I can focus and not end up building an entire underground mushroom society.......who am I kidding......their mob is already hashed out in my head, I just need to put fingers to keys and type it up.....

LOL! I know that tune!

Good luck with your goal of Copper. Finding that balance with life is important. As always our awesome community is here for whatever help or encouragement you need. Looking forward to your creations this SummerCamp.

Check out some of my summer camp articles, like the dangerous flying jackalope or dragon wasps. Or, for something more light-hearted, there is the whimsical language Gobbledygook and Jaden's interesting job as a guano polisher.

Thank you DrunkenPanda. I've gotten out of balance these last couple months, because while creating, it didn't make me 1000% excited. So hopefully July's creations help bring the excitement back.
