OPENS: within first week of month
CLOSES: 1st of next month
REWARDS DELIVERED: within 2 weeks
MERCENARIES DELIVERED: within 2 weeks
WORK LOAD: heavy
POST TITLE FORMAT: Mission Board XX
DUTIES:
DETAILS:
Make each of the character icons used in the MB each month. They are simple rounded square icons with no overlays or designs.
Reference the Turn Order, maintained by the Summoner's Guild mod, for the class reps for each month. Any reps that are still open become your choice. Each rep gets a short blurb to introduce the missions. These blurbs should be a couple sentences max. They can be generic or reference specifics from the game/character if you are familiar with them. Reference the example post if you need blurb examples.
The MB is posted within the first week of each month to ensure players have most of the month available for completing missions. In the middle of the month, make a simple reminder post, pointing players to the current Mission Board. This is helpful for players, but nonessential, so it is not considered a required deadline.
You are encouraged to begin handing our rewards as players mark them for completion to help reduce the large pile of rewards to hand out after the round closes. Once the round closes, outstanding rewards should go out within 2 weeks. Don't forget the Hero's Bounty for players who completed all missions!
Players have through the end of the month to post completed missions, so the round should close at midnight, US Pacific time, of the 1st of the next month. Disqualify any posts made after this time, as well as any posts edited after this time.
Ensure that you are regularly validating the accuracy of completed missions where relevant and correcting players who have mistakenly claimed a mission completion.
And finally, remember to post all relevant cards to the Mercenary's Guild within two weeks of round closure.
The Mission Board is quite a bit larger than many templates, so here are a couple of images showing what you're looking for in there.
Each class has their own potential missions! Choose one for each, and ensure there is a balance between TCG-related missions and miscellaneous type missions. Specific numbers for missions and rewards are suggestions—mods are encouraged to alter those numbers as they see fit.
While the classes do all have a few unique missions to try and give them all their own identity, if you ever need a quick solution for a mission, asking the player to turn in cards is always good for any class.
Further, if you think of a fun mission for a class, go ahead and implement it! You're also totally free to implement variations on any of the missions.
Mage missions:
Scribe missions:
Engineer missions:
Bard missions:
Warrior missions:
Paladin missions:

This is the grand prize for players who have completed all missions for the month! It should always consist of 2 silver-to-gold level vouchers, and the Foil Choice voucher should appear no more often than every other Mission Board.
