Black & White 2020 Preview #1

Chimeron has been hard at work preparing this year's virtual Black and White Masquerade Ball. Over the next few days, we'll be sharing some early details of the seasonal celebration.

While they might look a little different from what you're used to, many of the traditional elements of the Black & White have been transposed into a virtual format, including:

Socializing


Join your fellows players on the Black & White Discord server and catch up with your friends. We have modeled our text and voice channels after several well-known parts of the traditional event site. Pull up a chair around a table in the Front Hall, have a private conversation in the Throne Room, or pay your respects to the people have honored in the Memorial corner. https://bw.chim.fyi/site-map

Eating Tasty Food


Make a treat in your very own kitchen with the Black & White Recipe Book. We will have recipe instructions, cooking videos, and even live streaming sessions. Make sure you check out the website ahead of time to make sure you have all of the ingredients you need!

Showing Off Your Fancy Garb


There will be a special channel on our Discord server where you can put your fanciest Black & White garb on display!

Playing (And Hopefully Winning) Poker


Sagart of the Stacked Deck will be hosting an official poker tournament online. There is a 10 gold buy-in; see the B&W website for more information.

Light Questing


Several forms of questing and puzzle-solving will be available for players of all ages. Keep an eye out for a certain special mailbox! These activities will be announced throughout the day by the Herald, and you can check the schedule ahead of time.

Dancing


It's a masquerade ball for a reason! The Princesses of Chimeron will be leading dancing sessions during the day and also later in the evening. Dancers of all skill levels (including none at all) are welcomed.

Talking Business


There's always a few big meetings at Black & White, and this year will be no exception.

Attending Court


Chimeron will hold its traditional court, and as always, others are invited to present their own business before the Realms.
