Hey, just to put the ask out- does anyone want to join the TTRPG campaign I'm running? We've been in some mini-arcs while I try to put the next big arc together (very, veeeerrry slowly), and the second of those mini-arcs is about to end, and then we'll likely take a few weeks off due to scheduling issues and resume when the arc is done.
I wish I could say it was almost done, I just took a week of half-days with my PTO to try and chip away at it, and I did make progress, but it's not there yet. At the very least, that should give anyone who's interested time to get caught up with the campaign and come up with a character?
This arc is meant to be a big turning point in the campaign as things get closer to the climax, at which point it'll be up to the players as to what to do next.
EDIT:
Anyway HMU if you're interested! Info on what's happened and what the next arc is about below the cut:
The current story- based on a comic I wanted to make for a while, the setting is based on WW1-WW2 America, featuring a team of pilots (at first , before player turnover and replacement PCs) whose society was isolated in an ancient, cracked dome, and set out looking for ways to bring their struggling population out into the wider world- all the while, a war overseas with a secretive, strange army is getting more tense.
Throughout the campaign, the players have:
Saved a literal flying circus from arson
Gotten caught up in conflict between the mob and a corrupt power company, inadvertently leading to two horrific creatures from either side being mashed together into a spiraling deer-tree abomination they had to stop
Played heel-villains in staged superhero fights in exchange for money and strange artifacts
Been morphed into story-book pirates in a patch of warped reality, fighting the ghost of the pirate who kept them trapped there
Gone undercover in a Lovecraftian town where gathered businesspeople and international diplomats planned to awaken the ancient gods, only to get caught, panick, and blow up those diplomats, pissing off multiple governments and a clairvoyant lobster-worshipping cult
Partied and fought racist square-dancing vampires in a New Orleans-inspired town's werewolf jazz festival
Handled one crisis after another at an international war summit in a Wild West theme park, from anarchist moth-worshipping cults to a disgraced Thomas Edison expy burning himself and his workers out with psychic weather machines, to stopping the kidnapping of world leaders by a teleporting sniper who was trying to stop some pretty horrible colonialist violence; and narrowly negotiated their way out of being taken in by the secret agents who came to arrest them
Linking their brains and going on a mind journey in search of one-another's forms of happiness to help one of the PCs with her lifelong anhedonia
And now concluding soon, done a stint as radio interns in a Night Vale knockoff town, working to stop a StrexCorp expy from taking over.
This next arc will have the players exploring one of many ancient, destroyed domes like the one the original party came from, sitting on a native reservation in the desert.
(I confess I've had a hard time doing the research on the real life cultures and history this place is inspired by, I'll do my best about the representation but let's just say I'm glad this one will only be experienced by a small group, I may have taken some shortcuts for inspiration.)

"and then the searchlight blinks"
LOSING MY MIND. IM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS. They're going into Frankensteins lab of course of COURSE!
What I really, really love about this is that in Frankenstein, when the creature first appears in the window where Victor sees him, Shelley describes him seeing it by the "dim and yellow light of the moon," and describes its eyes as yellow and watery. When the creature comes through the window, she writes, "his eyes, if eyes they may be called, were fixed on me."
Fuck y'all. This is incredible.

Give me Stede absolutely falling in love with inn keeping. He was confident in choosing Ed over piracy, but perhaps less confident in opening an inn. Even though Ed is the most important thing to him, he secretly fears that he'll get bored, that his new life may start to resemble his old life.
But then that doesn't happen. He has so much fun running the inn, decorating all the rooms, wearing whatever clothes he wants, meeting all kinds of different people and hearing their stories and their adventures, and all of this with Ed by his side. He was drawn to piracy because it was so opposite of the life he was living, but he realizes that he didn't need the adrenaline of adventure, he needed to be doing something he enjoyed with someone he loved, someone who loved him in order to feel fulfilled. The contentment he feels with Ed by his side is what he was actually looking for.
(and maybe the crew still kidnaps him from time to time for a short adventure, but at the end of the day he knows he would never go back to that life)

I just realized tonight's adventuring party is going to be exclusively going into the extensive and well established lore of our good, well known, and beloved friends Squeem, Ecaf, Balthazar, and Duggan McCann. I'm so excited! I just hope that none of the new info of their adventures off screen interferes with my headcanon...
