Host a brand-new in-game player event! đ
in EVE Online
Closed
Ahh, greetings once more fellow citizens of this fine establishment. Lurm the Slurm is here once more with something a little different, but definitely brand new. I shall start by stating that the event I present is not quite what was asked for, for when does Lurm the Slurm ever follow the rules? It is instead something unique and intimate... a one on one encounter out in the furthest reaches of space experienced by an individual, and enjoyed by the whole. It was and is also most certainly not something that has been done before and thus here we are.
This is a live, one-on-one D&D-style sci-fi RPG called Stations & Starfarers set in the universe of EVE Online. Explore space, roll dice, and experience improvised storytelling from Lurm the Slurm. This is a one on one TTRPG style encounter with live narration, meaningful character choices, a studio (Twitch chat) audience, and obviously a great many cinematic deaths. Oh, it is also a giveaway that any can enter!
After this initial test and launch (yes, there will be teething issues but I am quite happy with how the first ever show went... and happy that I found a willing victim) Stations and Starfarers is going to be a staple on my channel and shall, soon enough, be known across all of New Eden as an experience and event not to be missed. So, while it may be one on one, and it may be small scale compared to the others posted here, it shall eventually grow beyond all in its scope and influence as the number victims participants increase and the word spreads. The adventure is undertaken by an individual, but experienced by a live audience that get to weigh in, provide guidance, and event win prizes. I also believe the unique nature of it perhaps helps a little to push it as something special, a new experience that can also be enjoyed live when it happens, or after the fact through the videos I'll be uploading. I firmly believe that players need more reasons to interact with each other, to take a moment to see who else is in space with them, and perhaps even open a line of communication with someone they think perhaps needs or wants it. Ultimately, I want players undocking and enjoying their time in space, and if experiencing something like Stations and Starfarers can help rebuild some of the lost faith or belief in their fellow players, then that's a win for Lurm the Slurm. My idea was to try do something new, and hopefully break away from what I see as a pretty toxic giveaway culture that has grown and festered in the community, and try reward players for taking a moment out of their day for their fellow capsuleers. It is merely a start, but let us hope that it is not a prayer come too late.
Perhaps a that lost flame can indeed be rekindled?
As for the evidence, well, the proof is all well-documented in the video. The Twitch VOD can also be found here, and the Stations and Starfarers encounter begins at about 01:19:45. I hope it suffices. I would also gladly collect some comments from those that viewed and enjoyed it! I had to hustle to get all the planning and preperations done in time and am extremely happy with the end result. I am most happy that this can all be done on the fly, as often as I like, controlled entirely by my single stream deck, and shaped into stories and experiences that can last a lifetime for those involved. I am also happy to report that all the people that watched it live enjoyed it tremendously. The fantastic thing is that anything I win here I can cycle right back in and start giving away in game. More JustAbout money? More PLEX to give away during future Stations and Starfarers runs and more interseted parties watching how it should be done! I'm sorry, as I mentioned and in case it wasn't clear, I just really don't like the way that most EVE Online live streams are almost entirely giveaway driven and I aim to change that with this and basically all that I do in and for the game.
(For some clarity this was all done entirely live, on Twitch - I make the stories up on the fly, and relay them, I created all the assets used including the art and overlays, and I have all the music and effects, and all the rest, bound on my stream deck for easy use. There was nothing at all pre-planned about this encounter other than the prep work I did to set the framework of Stations and Starfarers up!)
Happy That, and thank you for your consideration and all that you do for us gamers and content creators <3
