Hundred Reigns Future Loop Poll: long or short?
- The Season of the Minotaur (long reign) 202
- The Elf Conspiracy (short reign) 88
- Mask of the Jester King (short reign) 122
Heya everyone,
As it is tradition by now, here's the new reign poll. While the current arc still has a few chapters ahead of its conclusion, I'm putting it up early for new patrons fresh off RR.
The second reason is that one of the options is a long reign.
Yes, Simon has reached enough information and levels to earn himself some reigns that last beyond three months ;) but that means they'll cover a lot more chapters than previous arcs so I'll need a bit more time to plan them out. Future poll options will also indicate whether those reigns are planned to be long or short ones.
Otherwise, here are the character-appropriate options (Overlord of Crime will be offered in another poll). As usual, the poll will conclude with the current arc.
1) The Season of the Minotaur: Realizing his weakness in the face of grave threats, Simon decides to spend a full year in Whispermire to complete the Minotaur-binding ritual. As Simon Magnos mysteriously disappears, the Darkwood Necromancer appears to terrorize Whispermire. A pity there’s no shortage of adventurers trying to ruin one’s evil schemes…
Contains: A full year long reign, ‘evil’ dungeon master reign with multiple levels progression, Zodiac Fiends intel, and minions.
Length: Long (a full year)
2) The Elf Conspiracy: Simon is sure of it now, the elves are plotting to destroy Castle Frightwall and the Malphas family is at the center of it all. Infiltrating their clan through a skillful betrothal to Elaine Malphas and feigning sympathy for the empire’s enemies, Simon will soon discover that he has only scratched the surface of the conspiracy and its reach...
Contains: Uncovering the elven conspiracy, new allies for future reigns, intel on who killed Balzam Magnos, a new mentor.
Length: Short (a few months)
3) Mask of the Jester King: Having seen the devastating civil war that will unfold between the War and Church party without an Overlord to rein them in, Simon hits upon a genius plan: impersonate his own father, with none knowing the switch has taken place, and try to mediate between the factions. His efforts are doomed, of course, but this may be the occasion to find out who dug his father’s grave… and who’s profiting from it all.
Contains: Intel on who killed Balzam Magnos, a lot of black comedy, a happy and well-fed Gourmand, Magnos 'family bonding.'
Length: Short (a month of madness)
