Welcome one and all to the Ninja Academy campfire, where for this spooky season we’re calling on you to spread the darkest, most sinister, twisted tales of ninja nightmares you can manage. The world of Ninja Academy is a wide one, filled with depth from the stories your characters have lived, but now it’s time to explore the stories they might tell one another around a fading fire on a haunted Halloween night.   So what do we ask of you? That’s simple, we want the submission of Ninja Academy ghost stories, cryptids and whatever else frightening jumps to mind. These should be in universe stories, but need not rely on existing cannon to tell them, for at the conclusion of the event the staff will judge the entries and add the best to the world of Ninja Academy forever.    Your Entry: Your entry needs to be a short scary story from 500 - 1,500 words. You may submit one story for each of your characters, just note which character the story is submitted for. Rewards will be given to every character a story was submitted for, though they do not need to be written in that character’s perspective, assigning a character is just for reward purposes. Also remember that while Ninja Academy does allow for mature themes, common sense should apply to what is appropriate to base a story around.    Your Rewards: When submitting your short story, alongside your character assignment please also choose one of the following buckets to pick from for your reward: Gravedigger's Sack, Witch's Cauldron, Haunted Scroll Case, or the Jack-o-Lantern. Once approved, you will be able to roll on the chosen loot table: Gravedigger's Sack   Witch's Cauldron   Haunted Scroll Case   Jack-o-Lantern   * - These items are unique to this event, see their descriptions for what they do. ** - These items are Halloween classics, see their descriptions below.   Milk Chocolate Shuriken A four pronged piece of chocolate shaped to look like a Shuriken. A classic treat for children dressed as ninjas. Effect: Gain 1 JP when this candy is eaten. Value: $25   Pumpkin Juice A small wax bottle containing a sweet orange liquid. Even the small amount in the bottle packs a punch of flavor including cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin and just a little hint of something spicy. Effect: This candy may be eaten when your character receives experience. When you eat this candy, you gain +100 EXP. Only one "Pumpkin Juice" may be eaten per thread. Value: $50   Black Licorice Bats Only psychopaths like this candy. The unforgettable flavor of the licorice root in the shape of a hairy bat, complete with little strands that get caught in your teeth. Makes a squeaking sound when you eat it. Effect: When this candy is eaten, you may increase the word-count of the post that this candy was consumed in by +200 Words. Eating multiple 'Black Licorice Bats' may stack this effect to a maximum of +400 words. Value: $50   Event Timeframe: Entries can be submitted in the submission thread right now, and submission remains open up until October 31st 2026.    We’re excited to be doing something a bit different for Halloween this year, and sincerely hope you all get in the spirit, make some great stories, and should you have any questions or need any assistance don’t hesitate to reach out to me or any other stuff and we will aid you how we can.  

Its been a hot minute, but I am back in announcements to let everyone know that NA, adapting with the times, now has a new official AI policy for out game. As anyone given 2 seconds of time to think about it will realize, AI being able to write a lot of things based on a prompt is somewhat undermining to the integrity of our creative experience here. As such, we have made an official set of rules to lay down the law on what you can and cannot do with AI when it comes to NA, alongside the punishments for skirting the rules. You can check them all out here: RPG Rules 1.16; AI Policy   As a note, this policy will only be enforced on posts created or edited after today!
