    A'right, don't mind the stench, but do come in quick as you can. Careful, don't slip, you don't want anything on this floor sticking to your robes *chuckle* Now, we're all here? Good *claps hands together, and a loud squack comes from many beaks on the beams above* welcome to the owlery!! This 's always a crown pleaser this one is. Please, see behind you the stacks of parchment and fresh quills for each of you. Well, you get to use them! In this game each person writes a letter, in the tone of a favorite character from the books and/or movies of Harry Potter. You'll address it to another character, and the next person to post as to write their lett…

  2. Come in, come in, we're about to begin... the stage is set, please gather 'round now, and listen carefully to my instructions. Here we will learn to duel - to compete against one another with spells. We will learn to counter our opponents' spells, and plan attacks of our own. We will also test our knowledge and our creativity in spellcasting, as we will do all of this - ALL of it - in alphabetical order. The first to attack will do so using the letter "A". The next will counter or neutralize the attack using the letter "B", and begin the next round with the letter "C". And so it goes. As we have not all mastered every s…

  3. Start date: July 29th Phases: 24/24 or 36/12. In the event of 24/24 all phase changes will happen at 5pm EST, and if we end up with 36/12 Day will end at 5pm EST and Night will end at 5am EST. Let me know your preferences. Setup: Open. Town gets a pair of masons, the rest are vanilla. We'll run with 9, 11 or 13 players, depending on how many wants to play. This will be a strictly deadline game. There will be no hammer mechanic. As usual in the White Tower the mafia games will be moderated a bit more heavily. We want to keep this game drama-free, so please keep that in mind if you want to come play. 1. Tress…

    Hangman - we all know how to play it - we all love it. This version, however, has a theme. Every word picked must come from Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere Universe - so Mistborn, Stormlight Archive, Warbreaker, Elantris, and any others that fit into Cosmere are game. I'll start and the person that guesses the word can continue after me. A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

    Very simple, un-scramble the quotes! You don't have to know the material either. Ready? Here's the first one! “The ivneesru is gbi. It’s svat dna dcpoialemt adn iricdlusuo. And ssomteime, yevr yrlrae, isipemoslb stghin stuj nehpap dna ew lacl hemt smilerca.”

  8. Here we can discuss our favorite characters from Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere Universe. Feel free to share any characters that you like, but keep in mind that some haven't read all of these works, so it might be prudent to spoiler tag some things. Also - spoilers tags do not appear in email notifications, so if you are crazy about not reading spoilers, I would suggest not subscribing. You have been warned!

    As always, an event needs a fun/spammy thread!! Here is your place to share photos of Cosplays you are proud of, ideas you are working on, and photos of characters that you dream to someday cosplay as!! I can get us started! I have always wanted to cosplay, and the character I keep coming back to lately is Scarlet Witch from the MCU!!

    Hi all - welcome to the Gray Ajah's Discworld thread! There are many things that I love about this series (one of the many things!) is B.. S Johnsons' ability to make things that don't work the way they are meant to and similarly Leonard of Qurim's inability to name his great inventions. One of my favourites is the 'Going-Under-The-Water-Safely' device because it submerges on a marine environment. Do you have a favourite? Could you name something in a Quirmish way?

    The booths are in place, the tables are set, and here is the place to cleanse your palette. From near, and from far, the fandoms gather around, for now is the time to let your hobbies abound. The Hobbits have brunched, and in the Doctor has hunched. The Redshirts have beamed up, and in the Discworlder's have strut. The Cosmere-nauts have stepped away from their theories, and the Fanboys/girls can see us through the Force quite clearly. Mr. Dresden has graced us with his presence, so we won't accept any nonattendance. Welcome, one and all, to the White Tower SuperCon This is bound to be a fun packed…

    Pictionary is one of my favorite games. This time, it's animal themed, which promises to be a lot of fun! To play it on DM, it's actually quite simple. During the round, there will be one designated artist. I will PM them the word, they will draw it (either in digital form, or physical and then take a picture of it) and post it in the thread when completed. Guessers can guess in any order. If you've guessed once, and it's incorrect, you can guess again. TO DRAW: If you want to draw pictures, please sign up below (you can do this, even after the game has started). We'll go in order of first come, first served. And when we run out of artists, we will repeat…

    This is the place to discuss various aspects of dogs. In honor of the royal wedding, we have Corgis today, the Queen's favorite. Dogs provide a lot of benefits to their families besides companionship and we will go into these a little later. I'd like to start with some of your favorite things about dogs. Surely, you have some!

  14. Started by Gentled Ben,

    Welcome! Who hasn't wished to see a unicorn, a dragon, a sea serpent, or a griffon? In this thread, we will be discussing creatures of legend, lore, and mythology. We'll talk about our favorites and discuss what makes them great--why they fire our imaginations, why they are still popular centuries after we've become fairly certain that there are no dragons or unicorns lurking in the bushes, where the ideas for these beasts might have originated (for example, it's a popular notion that the mermaid was derived from the manatee), and whatever else crosses our minds, as I have done little to no preparation for this discussion. We will just wing it, like dragons... …

    There's a heated debate over which pet is the best! Now's your chance to argue (politely) why your favorite is the greatest! The animal chosen as the winner at the end of the week will be immortalized in a siggy! Vote, then discuss below.

    In honor of Greats of the Animal Kingdom week, come and play Guess the Animal! Once per day, I'll post three images of an animal's eye or eyes. Just post in the thread which animal you think it is. The next day, I'll announce those who correctly guessed as well as post the full image. One point per correct identification, and no penalty for wrong guesses, so you might as well take a stab at it. Edit: I'll also add that more than one person can get points for guessing correctly, so don't hesitate to chime in even if you think a previous poster got it right. Good Luck!

  18. Animals have been used to personify particular traits for ages. Perhaps some of these are more accurate than others. I am sure you have heard terms like, quiet as a mouse or sly as a fox. What animal personification do you like the most? Which do you think are accurate or inaccurate? Feel free to share with us your thoughts on animal personifications.

  19. Welcome to another Week of the Greats, hosted by the White Ajah! This year, we're doing a theme that's a little different. We're focusing on great animals, instead of great people, books, or TV shows. Animals should be appreciated for all the amazing things they contribute to our lives.

    While it is often the large events, marches, public displays, and such that get publicity, it is more often than not simple acts done on a daily basis that can help enact the most change. The identity of women have certainly changes over the years. Laws have been passed in various localities to help enable women to receive protection form mistreatment and from discrimination. Women have made advancements in education and business, often achieved through changes in policies. However, laws and policies can only come to be by changes people's perspectives. This is where everyday acts can gradually change perceptions. What have you done to help shows others that a…

    This has been a tumultuous year for women. There's been incredible highlights and pretty deep lows. From #metoo and the multiple women's marches all over the world to the fight for basic healthcare. Do you have a personal highlight from this year? Do you think the #metoo movement or the Time's Up movement by Hollywood stars was effective and will produce change?
