Graduation Is Here!

On July 1st, all Penwick.ink characters will year-up into their next in-character year. We call this process "graduation"!

This is when yearly mechanical progression happens. Characters are able to receive the appropriate yearly updates for their Origin, including Aptitude Point increases, Advancement Token increases, and any yearly Tier 0 spell access that applies to their new year.

Because this is a manual process, there may be errors. If you spot any, let us know!


What do you need to do?
  • Have an approved character.
  • Apply for your AP increases in this thread
  • Update your character encyclopedia to have their new year
  • Buy your new Tier 0 spells
  • That's it!

FAQ

Can I still finish older threads after July 1st?
Yes! Writing or finishing threads that are before the current date is called "backdating". You can backdate as far as you'd like!

So do I just... Not do anything until September 1st?
We would be terrible hosts if we gave you nothing to do for months! Another announcement will be posted very soon explaining how summer on Penwick.ink functions.

I joined recently. Will my still move up?
Yes, as long as your character was approved before July 1st.

What happens if my character was not approved in time?
You will join the next year's cohort. You may need to change your character's birth year to compensate!

Does this apply to Sigerth students or adult characters?
Yes! Sigerth students and adult characters also receive their annual progression during graduation.

Where do I check my character’s AP and AT progression?
You can find this in the Rules & Systems section under your character’s Origin table.

I am confused.
Not technically a question. If you're confused, the staff team is always available for questions and clarification!

Summer Thread Dating

Normally on Penwick.ink, we allow forward-dating up to one month in advance. However, there is one exception for summer...

During the real-life months of July and August, you may forward-date threads as far ahead as September 30th.

This exception exists so that players who join during the summer can still begin writing their characters during the active school year instead of waiting until September in real life.

On September 1st, the rule resets to be 1 month in advance.

This means that you can begin writing your character's next school year adventures right away if you'd like. Happy threading!
