squakhawk 6462 Popular Post Share Posted December 22, 2022 Hey everyone! It's about time for a short and sweet Story Team Update. This update covers the long needed update of Lore Criteria. Finished in July and in team review until mid November, we've wanted to make sure this is a bulletproof, total criteria which fully explains every aspect of how we look at lore, why we do it that way, and how you can use that to your best advantage. To be frank, the previous system was entirely incorrect and holds countless incorrect details which deeply frustrate the ST, and have for some time. General Criteria Updates General Criteria covers the topics about mechanics in lore. These are things like balancing, spell-types, limits on these spells, things to include, and so on. It consists of the following topics. Ability TypesAbility ComponentsCombat/Summoned Pets & MountsGuidesCA Race GroupingsSpecial Lore Locations/ArtifactsDefault Magic Progression Explanation Topic Updates Explanation Topics covers the topics regarding mostly how ST view certain subjects in lore, and what we have found best in that regard. We've spent a long time observing and massively overhauling lore and our standards over the last couple years, seeing what works and what doesn't- these topics mostly cover those observations, and how we came to them. The subforum consists of the following topics. Connection & DisconnectionLore Structures & Environment WarpingThe Glass Cannon MentalityBoons & BanesThe Lore WebLore VariantsTechlock & Magi-TechHealingBad LorePower Sources Submission Criteria Submission Criteria is primarily the format for lorepieces. In the past, most of them were unfinished or difficult to navigate, and even on release, not up to date with standards. We've removed lore submission types for those we have already not been receiving (New core races, deity submissions, world event submissions) and added those which have been lacking; namely Creatures, Flora, Alchemy, and Guides. The list consists of the following. Magic & Feat Submissions CA Race Submissions Alchemy & Further Alchemy Submissions Resource Submissions Historical/Legend Submissions Location Submissions Technology Submissions Flora/Herb Submissions Event Creature Submissions General Information Threads General Information Threads serve as a explanation as to the backface of lore and how Story Team manages so. As well, concepts like Lore Surgery, Amendments, The Loremag Process, and so on. Take a look at the two threads below. Story Team Oversight Story Team Resources Feel free to take a look at them all in Lore Criteria and Submissions. As well, please discuss any thoughts you might have in the Story Team Discord. Have a great one guys! A thank you to @TheWanRing, @Valannor, @Panashea, @Jaelon, @Taylor, @Melpomenne, @Nooblius, @Sorcerio, @yandeer, @Pompilidae, and @Kalehart for your thorough review and contribution to this rewrite.

ThatFunkyBunch 1428 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Short and Sweet they said. Quick read in and out they said. Time to scour this and slowly absorb the changes made in each sub-forum 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unwillingly 8845 Share Posted December 22, 2022 still think guides are just an unnecessary ask of lorewriters when any guide info could just as easily be incorporated into the lore piece itself. half of the guide requirements im reading rn are things that (to my knowledge) people already put into lore subs anyways 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hemomancy 2384 Share Posted December 22, 2022 When writing simple player-pet creatures (there will be more), would the formatting be the same as the ET creatures? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatFunkyBunch 1428 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Question for those able to answer. In the case of Witch Doctor, Farseer, Animisim. Which I imagine are going to need to be made in accordance to these submissions, is fine. That I get making them in accordance to here. But what about existing magics that contradict the information outlined here, as reading Ability types magics that go against these already come to mind? TDLR for this comment: Is this going to kick off a new Lore Games? 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
