Must... play... Overwatch. Need Halloween skins in my life. Particularly Symmetra and Ana. @_@

The idea behind incorporating NPCs into the event was brilliant. Seeing their personality come to life was fun, and getting some of their accessories as event items was genius.
There was a clear theme which people easily understood even without having to shift through the text. Having a solid concept and executing on it is essential.
The types of contests were more varied than I thought they would be and while I couldn't participate in any of them, it was nice to see the first event having so many different options... and not just 'woo, draw something' or 'avatar contest, yay.'
Vyctor. Whoever portrayed that guy needs a raise.
There were so many threads, and it was just too much. I feel a megathread would have felt better to post in to contribute, and much easier to navigate for both the community and you guys!
The formatting can use some serious work, and better formatting could have made a megathread even easier to maintain. The contest details in particular were all bundled in one tiny (font size wise) wall of text, and it was hard to make out all the details you needed to compete.
I didn't mind the items being in their respective shops, but the site -needs- an announcement type system for that to work. I had no idea when a recolor would be released, and there was no centralized place to really easily find the details.
I wondered if I had to look in Vanora's thread for info about Vanora's item releases, and so on...
A continued dedication to portraying the NPCs true to a defined personality would be awesome! Look at Vyc as an example.
Strive to have a theme no matter the event. Stuff like Halloween and Christmas is easy enough, but still think about what kind of thing would draw people together WITHIN that larger theme.
Like you did here, with an autumn block party. Halloween could just as easily be a dinner with a murder mystery. Don't get lost in the overall theme, essentially.
Items based on characters or events or other things are cool. I felt like just because the event items were from the NPCs, I had a connection to them even though I didn't know squat about the NPCs. XD
Overall, great job on the first event! I could see the dedication and effort you guys put into it, and that's awesome.

Same! I really wanna hoard as many event items as I can right now, though, and it's so hard to keep amassing volts. LOL

A flock of birds tore from the canopy above once the word 'scam' left Canette's lips, and suddenly a deathly silence pervaded the once lively atmosphere. The sounds of the forest faded away into perfect nothingness, and only the gentle rustling of the leaves in a very slight breeze could be heard.
"Uhh... Marshall," Jamie began in a hesitant tone of voice. "Are you sure that's all the merchant told you?" A bead of sweat dripped from his brow as he placed a hand on the longsword sheathed across his back. Glancing side-to-side, he felt a pulse of invisible force emanate from the package, and eyed it quickly. A faint indigo aura almost like smoke began billowing off the edges of the sealed package.
"Do you guys get the feeling that something is," as he spoke, shadows began to creep within the trees and foliage around them "not quite right here?" A series of red orbs blinked into existence within the same darkness of the forest around them. The shifting shadows had eyes, and there were clearly a lot of them.
Another slight pressure as the package seemed to pulse. Abruptly, the bushes behind Jamie parted as a large rabbit-like creature sprang forth with claws outstretched. The knight turned in time to swing his blade and parry the swipes with ease. "You uh... think he meant the riches would come in the form of monster materials? Or would that be too convenient?"
The creature stood on its hind-legs and let out a screech as more leapt from their hiding places.

@RoseyWitch: Man, you look adorable in that color scheme. I've been meaning to try out that hair, but haven't had the volts with the event going on. XD

@Lunakiri:
Erica never received a text back which probably would have sent up a red flag if she had time to think about it.
As the scene intensified, Sabrina sounded like she was on the verge of tears. "I told you, I-I don't know anything!"
The man in the center who had slammed his fist previously was growing impatient. Reaching over the counter, he grabbed her by the tie around her neck and pulled her out of the seat. She cried out in surprise, but the larger one clasped a thick hand over her mouth.
"Look girlie," spat the aggressive one who seemed inept at negotiation. "You must know where your own fuckin' sister is-" He was cut off by a sudden grip on his shoulder. He was forcefully yanked away from Sabrina and spun around to face an oncoming fist. His nose shattered under the impact as he fell back against the counter with an animalistic snarl of pain.
The large, burly man released his hold on Sabrina's mouth to face the assailant, "Who the hell are you?" The figure with glowing pupils took a few steps back but remained perfectly quiet.
The attacker, Eugene, shook his fist as if the punch had hurt, but kept his eyes narrowed on the three of them. "Think you've been looking for me," he said in a strange tone. It was almost... feminine, in a sense. "J-just leave my sister alone, okay?" He took a step forward and raised a hand to his chest. "Or you'll regret it!"

@timeandtimor: Haha, no worries.
Oh, no. You wouldn't be pestering me at all! Hopefully you get more time available to you soon. ^^
Just out of curiosity, would you like me to mess around with some attempts at Atlantean skills for Kora, or is that something you have in mind but haven't been able to work out? :o

@timeandtimor: Thank you for the consideration! I appreciate it. If you will send the trade, then, I will be happy to begin work on it as soon as I'm able!
If you think of anything else or wish to just talk privately (perhaps to poke me to see how it's coming along), feel free to message me at anytime. And if you are curious to see my latest piece, by all means ask! Please be aware it is heavily NSFW, though.

@timeandtimor: That is a very generous offer, and a project I will happily accept. The characters sound lovely to portray.
My only question is about any preconceived length you may have in mind. I don't write by word count and so size isn't really on the form, but I do have a string of scenes in my mind for a project, usually, and will write until I feel it's complete.
If you desire a certain length, however, I will meet it.

@Lunakiri: Oh, true. They don't have to be NSFW cards. Just your take on a deck would be cool, and it would be a unique product only your Patreon members could access. Then if by some chance they use your playing cards at a poker game or something and someone's like "Whoa, those cards are sweet!'
Boom. Word of mouth.
Boom. Word of mouth.

@Lunakiri: One fetish per deck sounds amazing, and I think you'd get a lot of orders just because some people would definitely be into that. It's like getting a personalized NSFW gift that keeps on giving, and it's functional in the right crowd. >.>
