>>6120952>QM question:While the ancient human tradition of "Halloween" has faded with much of the TPN's lost history, various cultures still commemorate the anniversary of the Cataclysm in various ways that might resemble that spooky Old Earth celebration.
FOr example, on planets where the anniversary coincides with the darkest nights of Winter, the Ulveng ward off the great dark with fireworks displays — a yearly Cracker night to scare off the devourer of stars.
For our friends Dallas and Kiro, the anniversary coincides with the yearly harvest festival on their home planet where the excess produce would be carved by children into scary faces to frighten off the ghosts of those evil Wyrms. Dressing up as scary monsters yourself is optional and some children get into the spirit of the festival more than others...
>Player question:You have already been visited by Lord Pumpkinfiend XXVII, banisher of Wyrms. No further dress-ups are required! (He will take any hard candy as tribute, however. None of that chewy stuff, gets stuck in his little teeth.)
>General question:Referencing seasonal holidays is a fun way to explore different in universe cultures. Can also be a time for characters to relax and show a different side you don't normally get to see.
>Miscellaneous question:Not really but I might actually think about running thread #4 of Voidship Bridge Sim come November.
