Summer Camp 2024 Recap and Reading Challenge

Recap

Its August! Summer Camp is done and WOW, what a great event it was. Had even more fun than during last year's event. (Probably because i was actualy prepared for it this time lol). 37 Articles done, Diamond badge secured, and a ton of new very important worldbuilding and lore for Hysal and it's inhabitants. I definetly feel like the month of homework in June helped me greatly to be more prepared than i was during last year's event. This year, i was able to concentrate on more important aspects of Hysal; on stuff that will actualy appear in the upcoming story, which i feel like it wasn't necessarily the case last year.

My Best articles

Community talk and Reading Challenge

One of, if not the best aspect of the summer camp event is all the community interactions. Also seeing everyones entry, reading and liking them, getting inspired and saving some of them for the reading challenge in august is really quite fun. Speaking of which, i decided to do a list of 12 articles, because i couldn't decide what articles to drop from the list. (They are listed in no particular order)

I love the history of of this city. Started as a capital, then lost the status. I could have slowly died, but instead it reenvented itself into a pleasure city. It seems like a very nice, a culturaly rich place to live.

This is such a neat idea. Instead of normal, boring projectiles, these trebuchet launch runed projectiles, which are able to dispence various spells at the point of impact! I also like that they are dangerous to use, making them not too OP.

In the world of: Vreathe

A desease that freeze elves and transforms them into ice creatures! Surprisingly, humans aren't affected by it, which is not something common with magical desease.

In the world of: Tales of Radiance

A rather terrible condition caused by a person's soul being tained by the gloom, a dark force in this world. Great description of physical symptoms and mental changes

As a fan of the Last of us games and its TV show, i am quite familar with the concept of Cordyceps. This fungal infection is almost like a slower version of what is shown in the TV series especialy. An awesome, but disgusting concept. Great descriptions and explination of the physical and mental of the symptoms and changes. I also like that surgery can be perform in the early stages, giving a person a small chance to survive.

A well written article describing a reconnaisance aircraft. The impact they had on the Macran culture is interesting. Overall, a very cool vehicle article!

This is such a cool article concept/format. A post-card! What it describes is also very cool. A city built half-way underground that is in large part shrouded in permannant darkness! It sounds like such a cool location. It also has a rich and unique history which i like a lot.

In the world of: Mirateia

What a cute tradition! I like that it was the kids that took the innitiative to continue the tradition while the adults were occupied. I also like that there's a age requirement (12) in order to be let in the cave, like a coming of age thing. Adults can be invited if they have scary stories, which is nice too!

Made by: Nulcheck
I love strategicaly important cities! It is located near the border of two countries, and it headquarters a powerful military organisation. Reminds me a lot of a location in my world i have yet to write.

An invisible storm made up of millions of tiny little creatures that when breathed in, clog the respiratory system, chocking them to death. Lovely. Very good article and i particulory enjoy the alert system and the procedure board in case of such storms. Adds a really nice bit of realism. Horrific stuff nonetheless. I love it.

In the world of: Gokrenxia

I really like the dialogue in this article. The back and forth between the seer and the seeker in "the Declaration" section of the Article. I also like the use of symbology during the ritual, like the smoke and the chalked triangle.
