Homecoming is a short, audio-drama-style piece for advertisement and lore purposes. It touches on a previously ghosted part of Lorelli lore, the "Homecoming Transmission", a piece of technology and broadcasting magic utilised to bring our people back "home". The idea is to hint at the idea of the Homecoming Transmission without divulging full details; this will seek to entice prospective members with our deep and heartfelt lore, while also utilising the skills of our membership to showcase our dedication to each other. The MMD is looking for voices to help create this broadcast. In total we need four individuals - one part is male, one part is female, and the other two can be done by either gender. If you are interested in taking part, please let me know so we can have a chat, look over the script and see where you would fit best! Many thanks

Welcome to the OOC Projects category, where you can share your Real Life projects and non-gaming related exploits. The reason we have included this category in our forums is because we are a community first and foremost. As a community, we support and encourage our members to become better and to strive for bigger things, buildin g on their strengths to achieve more in their lives. By giving our members a safe, dedicated space to share their ambitions and projects with the rest of the community we are giving them the opportunity to seek help form their friends within the community, and giving them the support they need in order to get these things done. This category will also give people the opportunity to share pages like Patreon, Kickstarter, etc without spamming the Discord and without getting into people's faces with it. With that being said, there are a few rules that we would like people to follow: Only ONE thread per topic/project - don't make a new thread every time something new happens with a project. Simply update your current thread. This channel is for YOUR PROJECTS ONLY. Please do not share projects that you yourself are not a part of. You CAN SHARE Patreons, crowdfunding campaigns, Kofe pots, etc, but harassing, repeat begging or cajoling people into subscribing to you or giving you money is NOT ALLOWED as it devalues what you are trying to do. Make your case, then leave it alone - though updating your thread every so often with news and updates is acceptable. Please be considerate of the thoughts and feelings of others when commenting on threads - many people pour their heart and soul into their projects, so be constructive with your criticism and HELP them get better, rather than simply writing them off. Thank you!

Hi guys, I often have problems with 3D fleet generators because I don't have the correct plug-ins and I don't know code, so it can be difficult for me to visualise my fleet. However, I just found this one, that was really easy to use and allows you to see your fleet in standard 3D rendering or in colour! Mine is still only a little fleet, but I thought it would be fun for everyone to show off theirs, so why not check it out and post your fleet picture below?! www.starship42.com/fleetview

Hello everyone! As you already know, next year we will be attending BritizenCon as exhibitors - this is the first time that we have attempted such a thing as an Org, and as such, it's going to be a pretty steep learning curve for everyone involved! We appreciate all your support thus far, and hope that we can meet expectations. This thread has been started as a place to highlight our progress and to keep you all updated in what is going on. We will also be keeping duplicates of any information we post on Discord, Spectrum and on Facebook (if appropriate). So far, as an Org we have managed to raise £800 (US$1077.72) - this is a great start, and will allow us to purchase the very basics we would need to go to the Con. This includes things like standing banners, some leaflets, business cards and table dressings. However, if we reallywant to make an impact, a little more wouldn't hurt! We have extended our fundraising to a stretch goal of £1000 (US$1347.15), and this is now open for donations. So if you have a little to spare, head on over to https://charli313.wixsite.com/lorell/fundraising (link to be updated soon) and donate through the app there. Again, thanks to everyone for your support and keep checking back to see what's new!

Welcome to the prototype website-branded forum. We are testing new ways of communicating and sharing information, and this is one of many platforms we are currently looking into. Please note: at this time, we are not looking at removing Enjin - this is just to test functionality and plausibility of available assets. We also encourage all members to continue to post on Spectrum as the primary recruitment driver. Many thanks for your co-operation and patience.
