Happy tenth anniversary!

May 1st, 2025 — Ten whole years!! What an insane number. It has been a wild ride and we appreciate you guys so much for sticking around. Thanks for joining us on here on ORIGIN, we wouldn't be here without you! A special shout-out to Game Master Dark who has hoisted it all upon her shoulders the last few years, keeping quests and events running and even taking the helm as our third admin to push narrative and story decisions focused on the cave. I love seeing everyone's creatures and I hope to see many more in the years to come!

Below you will find a list of events we have cooked up for the beginning of May. Keep an eye out later in the month for even more stuff!

Quests and Events

— NOCTUA OPENS: AND ON HER WING DID WE SEE THE SUN is a thread where the Visitor has Wished upon a feathershard for the Gembounds to see the Surface of Let—and their Wish was granted!

— Totum Golem Quest: we can dream, we can pretend is a quest where Totum has learned to create small golems by infusing them with their magic. They don't last long but they sure are neat! Join others in learning this new non-elemental spell!

— Nemean Trivia: NEMEAN'S NIFTY TENTH ANNIVERSARY TRIVIA (yes, it is a mouthful) is an event where Gembounds may revisit the other events of years past in a series of sort-of-gameshow questions!

Gacha Rolls 2025

— The gacha channel will open later today! It will be open until May 31st.

— #gacha-rolls-2025 will be our gacha channel for this year. Roll in this channel using the &gacha command and receive a random prize!

— Cooldown: the cooldown role returns this year. When you roll for the gacha, your account goes on a 12-hour cooldown before you can use the command again. This is to help reduce the load on prize claims for our Game Masters and Mods.

— Used Tickets and Prize Claims: reply to this same thread with your ticket counter and prize claims. See the code in the next post for how you should post.

— Winner's Choice: if your gacha rolls a Winner's Choice, you can ask me for quite literally anything. As long as it is reasonable we can work it out! Feel free to start a DM with me letting me know your ideas :) Sorry, but no magicka requests!

Bounty Board

You can claim up to five (5) bounty tickets total for additional rolls in the gacha. Claiming bounties that add up to more than five (5) tickets is fine, but you will only be awarded up to five tickets!

Event Period: May 1 - May 31

—> Post in Update Me! to claim bounties.

Quality of Life Updates

— Hovering over your item icons on the Player List (RCS, UCS, Mutation slots) will now display how many of each item you have (ex. Uncommon Character Slot x2)

— 2x Uncommon Character Slots can now be traded in for 1x Rare Character Slot

Keep track of your own tickets with the below code:
Note that all Free Ticket slots are already filled in with unused ticket code: :ticket: — when you use one, make sure you change it to a used ticket: :usedticket:

As you collect bounty tickets, keep track of them in your 6-10 ticket slots.

Ticket Claims:
When you receive a prize from rolling in the gacha on our discord, mark your ticket as :usedticket: - Additionally, keep track of your prize claims separately from your available tickets by editing your post to list new prize claims. A Game Master or Mod will mark off your prize claim with a note — don't delete this note if you see it when you edit your post! We will periodically go through the thread and check for new prize claims.

To easily link a character, use [character=username] such as [character=rohan]
