November Events

​

There are certain places that only exist when the year begins to turn. Places that glimmer between planes and senses, that only gather beneath the harvest moon where lanterns burn long after dusk and the air is heavy with woodsmoke and sweets. Welcome to The Hollow Harvest.

Once every Autumn, at the edge of the familiar world, a fairground appears among the fields. Its paths are straw-lain and lined with golden lanterns, with stalls draped in patchwork plaid, cross-stitch and old lace. Music floats down upon the entire scene before you, though no musician can ever be found. Presiding over it all are three women.

Three peculiar women...

Ink & Ember

​

For the second year Ink & Ember's novel writing month is here! Ink & Ember is a community writing challenge, where members can work on their own story or co-write with another member.

With this year, we also introduced the Plot Bunny Exchange thread and the Plot Rescue thread

Upcoming Sprints​

November 12 - 630 PM EST/GMT-4
November 21 - 630 PM EST/GMT-4
November 26 - 630 PM EST/GMT-4

Make sure to be in Sanctum's emergency discord to join us for sprints!

New & Old

​

For those with Steam, the Sanctum has a Bongo Cats room you're free to join. In order to get the badge, please make sure we know who you are in the thread!

November is a month of gratitude. What are you grateful for?

Can you handle this encounter? Each Friday Trask gives a new NPC to see how your character(s) would interact with them!

Our amazing chefs enjoy sharing what they cook and sometimes will share recipes as well! If you're looking for a place about food, The Great Feast is the best go-to thread on site!

For lovers of armor, weapons, combat and more, our own Labrat has started MindLabryinth's Armory Thread

Something many of us could use is an accountability partner, for many things. Especially when it comes to exercising and being healthy. KeyLime has started the Valkyrie Squad where people discuss what they've kept up with each day and hold each other accountable and supporting one another.

Event Hosting

​

Sanctum did not always host events until the last couple of years. More and more we see people interacting with them and having fun. Collecting badges and building on our community. However, this isn't strictly limited to moderators.

With a moderator's permission and presence, we allow members to stream games or even host a game night. On that same thought, if there are any ideas for events or prompts, we welcome them. Your ideas, your feedback; feel free to message a moderator to discuss.

For Events: Jumbled, GremlinSage
For Movie/Game Streams: JamesMartin, GremlinSage, MioBrave
For Code Help: Jumbled, Firefly
For General Inquiry: Crenna, Firefly, Jumbled, GremlinSage, MioBrave

D&D Tavern

​

Interested in Dungeons & Dragons? We now have an official Sanctum Discord for that where a few of our members have taken the time to run groups. See here for more information!
