More Gossip / Major Events posts

[Pandip]

I know that spending 30 minutes updating this thread is perhaps not the most exciting thing for DMs to do with their time, but it's incredibly helpful for more casual players looking to stay up to date. Right now is a time of heroes and villains and major events in EFU, especially considering the chapter is ostensibly coming to a close. Numerous things have happened in the two weeks since the last post in the thread was made -- a PC tried to become mayor, the Collective tried to "enthrall" a councilor, a major PC had a duel with THE Malark Amblecrown, the dark lake was turned to sludge, steps appeared and were crossed off by major factions, Ghaunadaur rebels killed elves and negotiated for the release of a captive -- and yet none of this has been marked as major gossip.

It's already hard to get involved in EFU while playing with a modest time schedule; I've been incredibly lucky to be involved with a couple PCs who are very open and inclusive, but not everyone is in as good of a position to know what's going on when they log in. I just shockingly had a returning player comment to me that things seemed like they were lulling. I'd love to see the thread get updated more frequently to prevent this dissonance and at least give PCs talking points or avenues for topics that are perhaps not as widely shared by PCs regularly.
