This Halloween, I'm going to be have a "Edger Allen Poe Fest", and besides reading some of his stories, I'm not sure what to do for the event. Any tips or suggestions are welcome

Well, I would help, but my knowledge of Edgar Allen Poe is non-existent, so good luck.

Are there themes you could carry over into Guild Wars? For instance a scavenger hunt for items from Poe's works with a Tyrian twist? Most ghastly/thematic costume contest?

I'm with Freebies, I don't really know enough about Poe to suggest that much. :/

They have links to all his works on Wikipedia. But huh, a scavenger hunt, I'll look into that.

Add a raven and don't entomb any cat! Nevermore.. Nevermore..

I'm a fan of Poe but uhm.. Well dunno really, what do you wanna do? Like, use TextMod to enrich some town with an Alan-Poe-kind-o-thing?

Well, if doing a Halloween event, you need a sort of "centerpiece"-the thing to get everyone hyped up about. If i refer to last years Horrorween (as I always do), the staff made a Wicker Ritual-although, from my memory, nothing was given away during this ritual, it was the event highlight. I cant help you decide that, because that should be your complete decision.

As for idea, keep listening to Thriller and I am sure you will think of something. I have been listening to it 3 times daily every day for the last 4-5 months, and I have come up with lots of ideas.

The character I'm, using for it has a pet raven named Nevermore :P

The ritual included giving away votive candles/spirit wood and other fun stuff =]

As far as Ideas go, think up some classic activities to include everyone, maybe a trivia contest on the forums maybe?

if this event gets kicked off and going, ill be glad to provide you with screenshots ^^. as long as it doesnt interfer with OoPs event for halloween, if they have one.

also since it seems a literature dude, i would reccomend you make a thread EXCLUSIVELY for the event and have a contest, let people make up a storie with halloween and guild wars. ^^. or something like that...as one of the parts to the event
