No, players homes are in Home, taverns are in their own threads, and stores are in Mallside.

There's also Riverside.

Mostly.

DFI is off in Outside somewhere in terms of physical location, all the taverns/inns have their own threads, and Home is generally the thread for people's houses (or sometimes their own thread; for example, The Nest/Karyana's Forest is one I set up for some of my characters, to avoid flooding Home), but otherwise that's pretty much right. (Though of course the houses can have a physical location in Inside, just that's not the thread normally used for them.)

They'll be recurring nasties for now, I don't know if I can run a plot of that scale.

Inside is the main City of the Nexus, but there is Riverside(a much darker city ran by political factions) as well. Inside is ran by The Council, but is protected by a standing army/police force known as Remnant.

While homes can be in the Inside thread, most are in the Home thread for the sake of ease.

Anything that is outside the City of Inside, is in Outside.

Other than that, there are plenty of other threads for the Taverns themselves and other various organizations. There are about six or seven of them at this point for just about any sort of PC you could come up with. Anything from evil and good to mercenaries and military.

EDIT: And yes, Mallside too, the massive Mall of Nexus.

Well, I was referring more so to physical location within the world. I haven't forgotten that much.

In that case, some are, some aren't. And some are combinations; one of my people has a house that's partly in Inside, partly in a dimension of her own creation.

Also, not all of the stores are in Mallside... The Wish Witch, for example. Erin's also has branches in both places. And MagMart.

I think you were around for the Ye Olde Towne?

Inside basically covers locations like The Slums, The Streets, The Sewers, The Small Fruitstand the Chase Scene Just Crashed Through, things of that nature from the old Town. We collapsed it into a single thread since we have other non-Town RPs on here now and we wanted to make room for them.

Trog's is technically everywhere.

Outside is where all the rural and wilderness stuff is.

There are a few other cities that people have made, notably Riverside.

ALSO!

Yeah, I did miss it somehow Baron. Just replied. Sorry =<

A few have theorized that the increasing number of disappearances is linked to the sightings of these creatures, which have also increased in the past few days.

This plot hook is open to anyone who wants to send a character.

I have to say, when I first read the op of that thread, one word and one word only invaded by brain. Hircine!

Of course, that means I totally need to bring a werewolf or werebear -maybe even a werecrocodile or werelion- there once my schedule isn't as booked as it is now.

Hmm...

I already have a theme song selected for Skyrim-esque characters!

The big thing about the Hunting Grounds is that I know some people (myself included) really enjoy roleplaying fights, but there isn't commonly an IC excuse to do it. So I gave everybody who might be in the Hunting Grounds one already

And no, the goddess is not Hircine. you have the right idea, though.

As soon as Tomas is free, you can bet that he'll be heading off to rumble with some Chryssalids.

From what I've seen, it's ongoing.

Speaking of which... I'm off to dump Spreagadh into the mix, so if anyone wants to end up hunted by a Leannan Sidhe, or play something she's after, feel free!

Hey Seph? I'm going to have to ask you to put spoiler tags around that picture in the Hunting grounds thread. That stretches the page a ridiculous amount.
