THE SORCERER'S APPRENTICE, SEASON 7
FANTASMIC JOURNEYS
Produced by @spacemt354
The Sorcerer's Apprentice is an Armchair Imagineering competition which began in 2013 on the WDWMagic Imagineering forum. It was hosted by jdmdisney99. Originally, the competition was inspired by an obscure reality show called The Apprentice. However, as the years went on, our game has evolved & matured, growing into its own thing, developing its own ongoing storyline and universe. The Sorcerer’s Apprentice Universe (the SAU) is a shared setting where ALL the game’s team-based Imagineering projects can coexist and build upon each other.
Season 7: Fantasmic Journeys will continue the game’s beloved communal traditions, while bringing a whole multiverse of surprises to the table!
Premise
After the events of Season 6: Odyssey, D Hulk concluded the season with a momentous “snap.” This action accidentally triggered a seismic shift, one which sent several WDWMagic Imagineering universes colliding together. Now, the ghosts of Walt and Roy Disney call on the original Sorcerer’s Apprentice - yes, Sorcerer Mickey himself - to help rebuild the multiverse. Mickey created this "Fantasmic Timeline" where the players must complete a set of tasks to restore balance, not just in the SAU, but to worlds beyond. Imagineers should be prepared for the wildest ride of imagination yet!
Gameplay
Players are divided into 3 teams to start the festivities. For each Imagineering challenge, the hosts will select a new Project Manager who must lead the team, oversee the brainstorming, and post the final project.
Once the projects are submitted, judges will post reviews. These reviews provide in-depth feedback, helpful advice, and help to determine the rankings.
What's New?
Competition worlds have collided, and so have those competitions’ hosts! For the first time in an event, there will be rotating pairs of hosts offering their own contained stories and unique prompts. Who will those hosts be? They can introduce themselves...and you may even see some hosts pop-in to play along the way!
For the first several weeks in this multiversal event, there will be no eliminations! A major goal of this season is to let players build their Imagineering resume. In past seasons, there has been an emphasis on developing new skills, whether it be writing, drawing, website design, whatever. With the flexibility of no eliminations, it’s a great chance for players to practice personal growth. Don't be afraid to try something new, it can only help you!
At a certain point in the game, there will be a “Board Room” where each player must present their resume to a panel of judges. This will decide who advances into the playoffs, and has the prime opportunity to become the 7th Sorcerer's Apprentice!
