As briefly mentioned in the Meta Thread for Wild Lands, I've been waiting for Windos to return from his impromptu hiatus before starting this discussion.  Now that he's back (however briefly), I'd like to talk a little bit about where to take the campaign from here.

-----------------------------

Let me start with the initial goal of Chapter 3: Finding the Legendary Beasts and defeating Shadow Ho-oh.  Open secret at this point.  No matter what you guys do, you'll need to work towards this goal to complete the chapter.  Simple enough, right?  

Well, here's the little snag I've been a little hung up on:

Scope.

My initial plan was to allow you guys a little more freedom in choosing where to go and when to tackle the main objectives, as well as start introducing side objectives to make things a little less linear.  I've already laid a bit of groundwork for that with the choices you've made to go to the Water and Mist Continents, as well as Darkula's various appearances up until this point.  I have other things planned that you might find fun, and a fair few of those ideas would also lead to story relevant rewards (which I will likely not elaborate on because spoilers!).  

I do realize this has been dragging on for awhile though, so I'd like to ask you guys how we should tackle this.  Do you want a little more freedom in choosing which missions you'd like to go on, or would you like a more guided, linear focus on the story (similar to how I ran Chapters 0-2)?

------------------------------

Similar to what Windos is doing in WL, I'd also like to ask if you guys want to run a more holiday-flavored adventure for this campaign!  I think I can cook up something for that relatively quickly.  In fact, I think I have a few ideas already.

------------------------------

Lastly, this question is directed more at Windos specifically: how are you feeling about your participation in the campaign so far?  If you need a break, I can put Platina in the background for a bit while you focus on other things.

------------------------------

Once again, Happy Holidays everyone!  Looking forward to picking up where we left off in both campaigns!

First of all: HOOORAY! WE BACK ON TOWN! Good Lord, you have no idea how much happy I am to go back to bussiness.

To be quite honest, I like to have a bit freedom about where to go and what missions we can take. Specially now since I wanted to enjoy some relaxing time before we return to battle. Specially since I wanted to have a opportunity to bond of Kogeki have a bond time with Keldeo for the reasons I mentioned I long time ago (I hope you dont forget the message Kogeki give to Keldeo since I really want a answer). We soon gonna need to face grand dangers ahead of us, specially against Shadow Ho-Oh, and we need to have a chance to reach at least in our second stage (or Final Stage in case of Kogeki, unless his Delta Nature have a third evolution?) so we must train to get stronger. Unless you have a Training Arc prepare in your campaigh for us to get stronger? That would be dope.

So yeah, I more open to have freedom to explore more of this world.

As for the christmas campaigh, my answer is the same as in Windos campaigh: Count me in!
