UPDATE!
The Roaming hub has started up for session three! Feel free to join and tag along with, and engage for whoever’s interested.
For ease of communication, rather than pointing people towards a forum thread every time regarding maps, who’s hosting which events etc., I’ve gone ahead and set up a Discord that anyone partaking in the project can join.
You can prod me at WorriesDK#2020 for an invitation or get in touch with me in-game.
Current primer - Ashenvale!
<Rushed messengers on wolf and wyvern-back have gone out from Splintertree Post, all carrying the same message from the local garrison>
"Adventurers and other ragtags,
With High Command cleaning up their mess and having to focus on a hundred dozen rumours about squid-people, Splintertree Post once again finds itself short of grunts and caravan-guards.
As if that wasn’t enough, some of those rumours about squid-people appear to have come true for our region as well. We have our own messes to deal with; satyr, furbolg raiders, supposedly fel orcs somewhere in the mix, too.
Being a transport hub for a war effort has been a profitable venture, and we’re ready to share some of it all with whoever gets their thick heads over here and sorts out our issues!

Concept Explanation
The Roaming Hub operates in the form of 1-2 week stayovers in the various regions, complete with a few blurbs of story for each one, identifiable issues to combat or deal with, maps keeping track of progress - and most importantly, insight into areas that haven’t received a lot of love with the lore, but still have a fair amount of player interest.
List of Suggested things to sort out for a potential stop
1) A main hub for the duration - to give people a place where they can go to find casual RP for the duration. 2) Around ~3-4 paragraphs of story to explain what’s going on in the region, what we’re there to help with etc. - supplemental maps can be made by me. 3) Someone to open up the week at a communal meeting/speech, basically introduce the story and area to people in-game. 4) 4-5 events at most; they can be social, RP-PvE, puzzles and whatever else have you, tying into that story
How does the map/noticeboard work?
The Noticeboard is essentially a series of story hooks and suggestions for events that can be used to push the story of a zone forward. Do the event, and new events will open up, and the map will change. All you need to do is post on Discord which mission you’ve claimed and when you’ll be carrying it out; I’ll change the map to reflect changes over night!
FAQ
Do I have to sign me or my guild up to attend this?
Nope! You’re welcome to drop in and drop out as you please; I’ll simply be the main organiser to chat with if you’d like to set something up. Though be aware that our hosts in various areas may have restrictions on how many people can attend their events.
Can I get a location added to the future stops?
Yes! I’d only ask that you contact me and give the suggested “things to sort out” list a read; a hub is only as fun as it’s attendants and hosts make it.
