Hello friends, it’s shortly going to be Dress Up Time, where - optionally - we get to wear some Hallowe’en disguises from other fandoms! As usual, this is your opportunity to discuss what themes you would like to see and what games you’d like to play.

Middle earth animals - oliphaunt, crebain, fell beasts, kirinki, giant spiders, the legendary badger-folk-whose-name-I-forgot, and weren't there some bee-like things too, etc.?

Redwall
dragons
dinosaurs
mythical creatures
'90s video game characters (you know, Mario, Donkey Kong, Sonic, etc.)

also - not a game and not a theme, but what about a super special Halloween HoK?

I think my second Plaza Halloween, one of the Regions went with A Song of Ice and Fire as their theme—back before Game of Thrones the TV series came out—and I remember that fondly since it's part of what convinced me to read the books. I don't know how recently this theme has been reused, but with House of the Dragon currently airing, it might be nicely topical.

Some of my suggestions will be similar to last year's (if that's ok):

Supernatural/The Winchesters (haven't played Lisa Winchester since I originally created her, but now I have a face claim for her; Marleen Lohse, since she seems to be the only redhead in the family)
Bob's Burgers (wouldn't mind playing as Louise again)
Coraline (just recently rewatched it on Netflix. Got to stop giving it away, since it's getting too expensive to replace the soundtrack, with it being released in 2009 and I still prefer to buy my music on physical media rather than downloading it)
Pirates of the Caribbean (Miranda Spano is another character I haven't played in a while, since all the PotC RPG forums that I joined over the years have been sent to Davy Jones' Locker, due to inactivity)
The Disney Afternoon villains (this might be interesting, and a nice change from all the Disney movie villains)
Adorable Puppies (since we did kitties last year, so it only seems fair to give dog lovers their turn. It was kind of fun roleplaying as a cat, and the first Halloween in a while that I stuck with the same theme)
Jurassic Park/World/Camp Cretaceous
Star Trek: TNG/Voyager (since I never cared for the original or DS9, but I did like Odo and Quark)
Uncharted (more the games than the movie, since they have more characters to choose from)

That's all I can come up with for the moment, but if I think of any more, I'll get back to you.
:wink:

Pokemon (original series to Mew/mew2)(i'm willing to run some pokemon events)
I'm thirding Studio Ghibli
Feywinds could be a fun little one though I am certain it's a far lesser known webcomic at this point from a Canadian artist
Is it bad I wanna see a 'slutty' LOTR theme for the hilarity of every costume has a slutty version :lol: *cough*Slutty Bûbosha*cough*

A few suggestions. I'm kind of thrilled by one of my favorite Halloween movies from my childhood getting a sequel.

Hocus Pocus characters
I was thinking Rocky Horror characters, because that's another cult favorite of mine, but I also really just like Tim Curry. So, Tim Curry characters. :)
A Loquacious Loreman.
he/him
Tis the season of Sean Bean prequel shows

* My Little Pony :grin: there can never be too many horse icons.
* Horses from folklore and mythology. Sleipner, Kelpie, Ceffyl Dwr/water horse/bäckahästen etc
* Priors - the title of this thread led me to think of the word hallowed and on to 'hallowed are the ori'. :googly: :lol: I know we've had a stargate theme before. But we haven't had icons of the priors before. There were a few of them.

Well, you really could confuse people and do Narnia characters (but Marvel characters would be fun too...)

We've done such great ones in the past!
Buffy!
Game of Thrones! or House of the Dragon now, whichever!

I'm also all for dropping a fun anime in there, like Fairy Tail or Naruto or Fate Stay Night :p
Superheroes could be fun too.

I'm sure it will be great, whatever it ends up being!

@Fuin Elda As much as we all long to see slutty Bubosha I have zero idea how to make icons in this theme in a way that wouldn’t be deeply disturbing… :lol: and the less said about themed games on that note the better



Thank you friends, a poll will be up shortly.

I think the only top ones I chose without *s were dinosaurs and 90s video games. regardless, if an un*ed one I suggested wins, I can help if needed. I'm not great at coming up with games but if it's simple and easy to run and short/can be finished by the end of Oct, I may be able to do one.

thanks for organizing! I know Halloween can be a lot of extra time and effort.

I must also note I have received pictures of one dog and a moth, so unless this changes rapidly, they will not be featured. Voting closes in 7 hours from now, thanks!
