tumblr_o1zrsv44JN1ufdm5xo2_400.png

A pretty laid back project, with some twists to fit my playstyle. i have a rough story in mind which i'll tie together with each day's loot. my writing will be sparse as it depends on my mood, bear with me pls!

  • All loot obtained in the coliseum is irrelevant, as is the loot obtained from gathering.
  • There are no restrictions about applying apparel to your dragons. Do whatever makes sense to you. Same goes for familiars.
  • And, most crucially, all Nuzlocke activity corresponds with the loot you obtain daily from Pinkerton's plundered pile!
  • If a dragon reaches level 25 10, it may be added to the main lair and 'retire'.

Extra rules:
  • If i dont like a draw, i can take 1 or 2 extra rolls, depending on the rarity of pinkerton's drop. 1-3 stars = 1 roll; 3-5 stars = 2 rolls.
  • Writing in prose is optional for this challenge (im too busy most days) so bullet points or ideas are fine. may write them properly later or not.
