Every Saturday from 3pm to 5pm Server Time in Bloodhoof Village in Mulgore, right over by the bonfire!
The gist of the event is this: The Storyteller begins the evening's story and runs for two posts, just enough to get the story going. The person to his/her immediate left picks up where the Storyteller left off, for another two posts, continuing on the same vein. This continues around the circle, letting all participants have their turn at adding to the story. Non-participants are welcome to sit outside the circle and listen-in, but are under no obligation to join in as long as they are outside the circle.
How is this different from the current Story Night on Tuesdays?
Simple. Story Night in is a sort of "open mic" night for stories, poetry and song. Topics and subject matter vary and attention is usually given to one particular individual for an indeterminate amount of time.
Story-Go-Round, however, focuses on getting everyone present involved (that has a desire to), simply by joining the circle. Those who want to listen in, but not add to the story, can sit on the sidelines within earshot and hear the story as it's made.
Is this a replacement for Story Night?
By all means, no. The concepts are different enough that they can cater to different roleplaying palates and different roleplaying skills. One should never be considered an off-shoot or replacement of the other as they are two different concepts, both meant to inspire and encourage roleplay.
Why Bloodhoof Village?
It is easily accessible to lowbies and the Alliance, should any of them desire to attend.
Will we be able to read this later?
Absolutely! It is my hope to be able to update this thread with chatlogs of the evening's story told -- though due to space restraints on these forums, I may post them to the RP Network (http://www.earthen-ring.com) and link that here.
I have an excellent chatlogging mod (WoWscribe, for the curious) that should be able to parse the log with a minimum amount of fuss.
