Every year, sometime in midwinter, the moon passes across a large opening in the ceiling of the Cave, showering the cavern below in its light. This is not an illusion, or some deep-Cave phenomenon that imitates the moon’s light and countenance — but the actual, physical moon. The one that exists Outside.

The moon’s yearly visit to the denizens of the Cave loosely marks the beginning of a new year. Mycenians from all over gather in the cavern to socialize and celebrate. This convergence has come to be known as the Lunar Luck Festival, as local legend states that basking in the moon’s silvery light is bound to bring good luck for the year ahead.Lunar Luck Festival, 2023

After last year’s uncooperative weather drove the Festival to be celebrated by the light of a bonfire rather than the moon, there has been much murmuring throughout the Cave as to the fate of this year’s celebration. Thankfully, although the winter has been dreadfully cold thus far, Cave meteorologists are predicting clear skies ahead! The Lunar Luck Festival will once again be held beneath the soft moonlight this year.

I appreciate the event! It had good variety.

I wish it had been more clear that Pick Your Poison did not count as an activity towards the 3x activity requirement for the event mushroom. I see that the thread title notes it as a game and the others as activities, but it didn’t click to me earlier that game =/= activity. Part of that’s on me for assuming it would count as an activity, but I would have appreciated if the thread text itself clarified that it didn’t count as an activity.

I’m sorry for the confusion; you’re not the only one who didn’t realize! We’ll be sure to clarify better in the future when an event has more than one activity type.

Oh, yep - I missed one of your Snake Factory submissions. I’ll send you your missing envelope now!
