Brainstorming Post!

Apologies, apologies, apologies! We've totally flaked on this for the past couple of months. I won't speak for [livejournal.com profile] willbedone as far as inviting punishment, but you can make indignant noises in my direction for it if you like. *shameface*

Anyway, this is the monthly brainstorming post, and I hope this means you guys have a ton of stuff to throw into the mix today, so have at it, in the appropriate OCD thread! And they are up, so go go go!

What if it was more a magic-y sort of disaster to deal with? Like, the Valdemar books have mage storms that come in waves (which some of Karal's friends have already dealt with in game). The mage storms feel like earthquakes and mess with magical abilities (and things created by magic) but don't affect the mundane items. As the storms grow, they start having magic effects in small circles. Like, a rabbit gets caught in a circle and turns into some kind of rabbit-sized magic-mutant beast.

It doesn't have to be mage storms in particular, but suppose we did some kind of magic/sci-fi unnatural disaster plot? Dealing with it could be similar to the way characters would deal with a real natural disaster but it'd be more of a metaphorical thing than a real-life correlation. Would something like that be easier to deal with?

On a totally unrelated note, the rabbit example reminds me of something out of Cimorene's canon...

That does sound somewhat more feasible.
