Summer Camp 2024 Pledge
ToC
Work in Progress
Let’s kick off this year’s Summer Camp with two words: New Beginnings. I am now in a new, much larger sanctum, which allows me to expand and stretch my wings, both physically and creatively. My new sanctum home has occupied much of my time in the first half of the year and will continue to need my attention moving forward.
I will continue to focus on my primary world of Creation while keeping the other Worlds of Nexus close at hand for those prompts that refuse to conform. Summer Camp was my first World Anvil event and my favorite while I was learning how to break articles with unclosed tags. Time to dust off the articles and sift the stubs in preparation for Summer Camp and the homework.

Homework & Preparation
My focus for at least the last 6-12 months has been on a new sanctum (home) so I am coming to Summer Camp this year after a lull of creative time and writing. My goal is to press forward with Summer Camp and not get stuck in over preparation. As I look through the homework and reminder assignments the following items are the must haves. I am keeping my eye on Diamond while remembering to chill.

Copper Change
8 Prompts
2 Wild Card Prompts
Theme Description
Tumultuous times are interesting moments to set stories in, whether they be due to natural disasters, sickness, conflicts, or others. Characters face unusual challenges, infrastructure breaks down, and society as a whole can change. Change can be big and small—from the size of a small community or city to the entire universe—, and it can be positive and negative. With these prompts, you’ll think about changes that have happened (or are happening) in your world and how people are dealing with them.
May you live in interesting times.
- Apocryphal Chinese proverb

Silver Refuge

2 Wild Card Prompts
Theme Description
Where do you go when everything around you changes? A refuge can be a literal place (like a building or a city), but it can also be anything that keeps you safe or comforts you. The change someone takes refuge from can also be small in the grand scheme of things—sometimes, small changes can have deep consequences on a specific person or group.
There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life:
music and cats.

Gold Belief

Theme Description
Religious belief is a foundational element for many cultures, but belief doesn't have to be about religion! Beliefs can be about superstition, urban legends and myths, people you believe in, and more. Essentially, anything and anyone that inspires people, for good or ill.
Frisbeetarianism is the belief that when you die,
your soul goes up on the roof and gets stuck.

Diamond Decay

2 Wild Card Prompts
Theme Description
Most things decay over time, but, just like all other themes, decay can be understood in a multitude of ways. There's physical decay, but there's also moral decay—both often go hand-in-hand with old organizations, and physical decay can be used as a metaphor for moral decay. And decay isn't always a bad thing - an evil empire might crumble so something better can flourish. Think about how people in your world try to prevent decay too!
All things are subject to decay and when fate summons, monarchs must obey.
- John Dryden, poet
