Witchy Village

I love the idea! Ever since "RoM" came out, I longed for a witchy village so much! I think Henford on Bagley is perfect for that. I like the idea of witches as strange beings tho. So I populated the hidden house in the woods with a spellcaster in my game. She loves nature, and has a cauldron hidden in "the deep woods". On nights with a full moon, she goes to the bank of the river and performs different "rituals" and practice magic. The villagers in the town are afraid, and the legend tells, every so often animals disappear, and that the person responsible for the disappearances is a hooded stranger who lives in the forest, and who befriends foxes and other wild creatures. However, other people lend all sorts of beneficial and healing powers to this stranger...

Sort of, it’s not a “witches only” community but what I wanted to do was have a heavy magical presence in each of my worlds and magic is definitely a familiar force in my universe.

Windenburg is my world, low Tech? Meh, It started out as a medieval fantasy Kingdom but I'm intrigued with the idea of more of a modern fantasy kingdom. but for now Country living came with a nice type writer that has internet access, but that’s the only technology they have, and their phones, but they rely on candle light and they do have plumbing.

I do have 3 spell caster sister who are sort of like nature fairies/Wood Elves/Nymphs. One looks after Plant Life, she can make crops thrive and wither, she helps with food production, another who makes sure land Animals are well taken care of, Humans included. and the last one looks after Aquatic Life. the three of them are basically "Mother Nature."

All my other spellcasters are astronomers, writers, musicians, painters, artsy type sims.
I do Want to make a Tech savvy/Gamer spellcaster.

I love this! I didn't quite finish setting up my village before November began so I'll need to do that at some point. I'm still undecided as to whether to give everyone a "dark" feel or stick with my current arrangement where each household has its own colour palette.

Yeah I'm going to make use of the typewriter too, and most households won't even get that.

Thank you! Have explored their site and it looks very interesting. Since the month is more than half over, looks like I may need to wait until next year. Something to keep in mind.

I love Nanowrimo, but November is too busy for me these days. I'm more likely to do the Nanocamp in April or July.

I try to do all of them these days but I always used to fail at Camp.

At some point I'll actually start playing the scenario I started the thread for. I've already played more than I should this month but mostly with saves I wasn't that fussed about.

I've been spending a bit of time working on this world, and now have it ready to start playing. I want to play them all rotationally. The only trouble is deciding which household to make the "main one." At the moment I'm most interested in the Marlowe household or the O'Connors.

Spenser Marlowe is an eccentric and something of a loner. His best friend is his dog, Alpha, who may have wolf blood. Spenser's greatest joy in life is the pursuit of arcane knowledge.

Non-magical tourists always think Morrigan Sharpe looks like a witch because she dresses in black and has a black cat - if only they knew that she actually is a witch! Morrigan loves cross-stitch and hopes to make money from her hobby.

The Kings are new to the village. Single mum Rosamund gave up her comfortable city life to become a gardener. She hopes the great outdoors will inspire her artistic daughter Daisy. Rosamund has also joined the local witch's coven and hopes to become great friends with her magical sisters.

The O'Connor family have owned their farm for centuries. Brendan and his wife Shannon are raising their sons whilst taking care of their farm. Hopefully they have time to learn a few spells too.

The Griffith family is another which has lived in the village for centuries. They love their animals and their country pursuits. Matriarch Seren adores her daughter and granddaughter and hopes that both of them will become powerful witches.

Scott and James are a pair of teenage lovers seeking rural idyll with their foxy familiars. The trouble is, they still have to attend school so money will be tight for a while.

Richard Beauchamp is another newcomer. A local politician, who may or may not have used his spellcraft to influence his career, he hopes to become top dog in the village

I have always been reluctant to play stories like this as so much can happen to break the immersion, but it sounds so cool!
