OpenUru

☛ Calum Traveler announced that Ami's crew work of surveying everything in Descent from 2024 again has been progressing nicely. Elevator work will be taken on by Ametist. Once the elevators are all working, they are hoping to have Tweek go through and handle any lighting that need fixing or recalibration. Assuming everything goes according to plan, hopefully the first leg of Descent will be open sometime in 2026.

☛ A few assorted fixes and updates are planned for a release in the last quarter of this year, including a maintenance pass of Kalamee.

Mysterium

☛ Calum Traveler shared some highlights from the survey:

The staff apologizes for canceling the Unconference, but factors related to the Georgia Aquarium excursion led to the decision. They do plan to include it, or a similar event, in future years.

Panels or presentations may not always be available every year, but they aim to balance activity and presentation content.

They plan to showcase local attractions or unique and interactive activities again in upcoming years; a Myst-inspired outdoor excursion will hopefully be included next year.

☛ All the streamed presentations have been uploaded to YouTube.

☛ For 2026, the Con Chairs will be M13 and Rayne. Next year, the convention will be held in Portland, OR, indicatively in July or August.

☛ The Creativity Prompt for September is “Round”. Entries for the “Bubbles” prompt for August were from Kh'reestrefah, IwonK, Kefrith, Talashar, and Nina.

Events in the Cavern

☛ IwonK will host a Wonky Talk (on her Twitch channel) on Friday 19 at 15:00 KIT in the Guild of Cookies’ Hood by the heek table. This month’s topic will be “Space Games”. Feel free to suggest interesting games she could talk (and draw) about. As always, there will be cookies!

Besides streaming, IwonK is making some games of her own as a year-long gamedev challenge, using Bitsy; you can find them at her itch.io page.

She is also working with Kefrith on an idea originating from the Mysterium Discord: a Mysterium-like online event. The work title is "Rivenium", they are looking for ideas, events and presentations or panels. If you are interested, you can find IwonK or Kefrith on the Mysterium Discord, at the dedicated forum.

☛ Every Saturday, Ereshkigal is hosting an Ancient Stories event at 15:00 KIT in Chiso Preniv, reading folktales, translated ancient texts, historical fiction from all over the ancient world, as well as the occasional historical-inspired fan fiction.

☛ Babbel will host her next classical music program in the Hall of Kings in Ae’gura, on Monday 15 at 12:00 KIT. The theme for this month will be "Latin American Music, Part 2".

☛ Augur’s Speculative Fiction Book Club will discuss their current book, Ready Player One by Ernest Cline, in Nezetahn(1)’s Hood’s Eder Delin. Due to traveling, the discussion is postponed to November 15 at 12:30 KIT. Everyone is welcome to discuss their opinions on the book, using either voice or text chat.

☛ Isa and Cid, along with a few others, recently started the "MOULa Community Music, Movies, & Games" Discord server, a place where anyone can stream a movie they want to share. Anyone is welcome to host and plan single or recurring events. In addition to movies and shows, they will have other kinds of stream like music, video games, or live feed of hobbies like painting or building Lego. They are also hosting Augur's Book Club's meetings.

☛ Brooketh briefly presented the Competitive Myst Online Group, hosting an Ahyoheek game every Saturday at 21:00 KIT in the Competitive Myst Online Hood. All players are welcome, regardless of skill level. If you don't know how to play, they will teach you. Or you can just hang out and observe. Voice chat is encouraged, but not required; both are used.

☛ Due to traveling, Skyisblu's Cooking Session for September will be skipped. In October, she will showcase a chocolate cake recipe.

D'ni Language Classes

Shokhootahn Rehn had two updates, one for the D’ni Language Classes and one for the Story Nights. Visitors are asked to not post pellet points into the hood imager: one of his former students and a close friend, Yutiel Yoshi, who passed away in 2018, is listed there. He has refrained from posting pellets to maintain her name at the top, as a form of memorial.

D’ni Language Classes schedule (click to expand)

Those who would like to attend the lessons should contact Rehn, preferably on Discord (r'Tayrtahn#1317), or via KImail (#80428). Be sure to include your KI number, so that Rehn can send you a reply!

The Guild of Instructors' Hood will be open and public unless a class is in session. Classes are individual.

Daytime openings are on Monday to Friday, at 10:00, 11:00 or 12:00 KIT, depending on the student's schedule.

Evening openings are on Monday to Thursday, at 20:00, 21:00 or 22:00 KIT, depending on the student's schedule.

Daytime availability is subject to change with little or no notice. Last-minute changes to class times will be announced via Magic Bot (#27527) or Mimi Bot (#71459); to be notified, add both as buddies, then PM them "advert".

R'Tayrtahn's Story Nights

Story Night Europe and Original Story Night will continue this month with the story of young Atrus as told in the novel, Myst: The Book of Atrus. Eventually they will cover all of the books and games, as well as the three human attempts at the restoration of D’ni. Due to family obligations, there will be no story on Saturday 27.

R'Tayrtahn records videos of the sessions (via an avatar named "I'm a bot, do not message"), that he will eventually upload to his YouTube channel. Be careful if you PM r'Tay or the bot during the events, as messages will be visible in the videos.

Videos now also come with auto translated captions in French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Polish, Portuguese and Spanish. Automatic translation often has trouble with words like "D'ni" or "linking books", so your mileage may vary.

Story Nights schedule (click to expand)

Story Nights are held in Tsahno's Hood every Saturday, gathering at the fountain at around 23:00 KIT, with the story starting at about 23:30 KIT.

For Story Nights – Europe, the gatherings are on Saturday starting at 13:30 KIT, with the story starting at about 14:00 KIT.

On All Guilds Meeting days, the event will begin at 14:00 KIT or 30 minutes after the meeting, whichever is later.

The stories are told using voice chat, so you will need to have your speakers, headphones or KI devices on. If you would like a reminder, please send r'Tayrtahn (#58324) a KImail with your KI number included in the text, so that he can add you to his buddies list.

Miscellanea

☛ Cid announced the release of Neyyah, by Defy Reality Entertainment (Aaron Gwynaire), a game styled after Riven, with pre-rendered static nodes. While officially only released for Windows (for now), it is reported to work well under MacOS with CrossOver, and under Linux with Proton.

☛ This month, the Age Expeditions in Deep Island will visit Janga by Itep Edor, then Jo'nae and Jo'nae Hood by Jonnee, including a restored version by SereneTiki. In the Open Cave, having completed the First Journey, there will be a Fissure Party! Since they already completed the Second Journey (Tsogahl and Delin), they will then tackle the Third, i.e. the Pod Ages.

☛ The Cavern Today podcast just turned 20! They have plans to commemorate the big anniversary; in the meantime, you can listen their debut episode here.

That was it for this month. Please consider donating to keep the Cavern open!

July ended with the CavFunding at 110% (CavCon 4.1) and the reserve at 629%.

The next All Guilds Meeting is planned for Saturday, October 4 (Leevot 17, 9681) at 13:00 KIT.

Until then!
