Editorials   "I'm happy to have joined the Mata Nui Weekly team! Interaction's picked up over these last couple of weeks, what with the party and the Piraka attack, and Kentoku is the topic I most reliably follow, so I've picked either the best or the worst time to join, depending on the point of view... Anyway, I look forward to delivering to you the exciting news that will undoubtedly come from the Archipelago in future weeks!" ~Ghosthands   "I would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to everyo

Editorials   "This week saw a good dose of player activity across the board. A special mention goes to Tyler & Co. for the Xa-Koro expedition, and also to EW's continued awesomeness with Yumiwa. And of course, there's also the recent happenings in Pala-Koro to take note off. Things are happening again, let's make the most of it." ~ Geardirector   "The past week was a little rocky in some cases, full of one-liners, but also stuffed with details and plot.

Writing Style Experiment

Hey BZPower! As a writer, style is very dear to my heart. Another thing dear to my heart is having fun. While I was working on some basic sentence manipulation exercises this evening I had a thought: wouldn't it be cool to see how different people treat the same sentence? Yes, yes it would!   Take the following sentence and modify it stylistically. Yes, feel free to add a bit more detail, but the main focus of this little game is how you manipulate what's already here.   "The shore was q

Editorials As Summer approaches and the hold of schools on our players' lives begins to diminish the RPG has seen a rising of the tide. It's rather enjoyable to have some older players like The Doc come back and pull beloved favorites out of the closet for a little dusting off and curb stomping. In the larger scope of things the main plots seem to be moving forward as well: we've got the party happening soon, the Piraka are laying waste to a town, and in the past couple weeks we've even seen

Matoran Anatomy Sketches

I really didn't want to put this up in the art forum because, hey, it's really just a sketch (or a dump, whatever you prefer to call it is fine), but I was just doodling around on the Wacom and getting the hang of digital medium art and suddenly realized I'd begun drawing an anatomy concept for matoran in the BZPRPG, where characters are far more organic than in TLG canon. Orange is inorganic components, cyan is eyes, heartlight, and brain; yellow for auditory, and deep blue for organic compone

Becoming "Hatachi"

Becoming hatachi (no, not "farmland"), is a sort of an interesting thing for me. I didn't really have to do much, except survive a chronic disease and make sure I woke up every morning for 7,304 days in a straight row, but at the same time it feels like a monumental achievement: I'm an adult in Japan with all the rights and responsibilities that entails. Unfortunately I was never able to participate in a risshi shiki on my fifteenth birthday, although I did stand in front of a group of peers an

KENTOKU ARCHIPELAGO WOW! The Tajaar culture meets at the bridge to Sado, Hatchi of clan Kuychar selling a beautiful box to the Jahagir of clan Angavur (Senavysh). The post is stunning, btw, especially in its use of customs, cultural differences between Tajaar and Dasaka, and a complex currency system. One of the best jams in a long time. The debate in the market continues, bringing in the concept of menti powers of the mind, a duty to yada yada yada… Angavur Senavysh (Jahagir of the clan),
