Hello, everyone!

The moment we've all been waiting for is finally here! Livvy94 will be kicking off our community playthrough of MOTHER 3 for the MOTHER 3 17th Anniversary Funfest tonight at 8pm Eastern/5pm Pacific! She'll be choosing random character names from all of your excellent submissions, and playing through the first part of the game, in which everything will go great for all the characters and nothing bad will happen! Probably!

And don't forget, you can post about the stream in the GPP1 thread on the forum here!

Spring is finally here, and to celebrate, Starmen.Net welcomes you to the Mother 3 17th Anniversary Funfest!

April will mark 17 years since Nintendo released the third installment to our favorite series, and so of course we must celebrate this important anniversary. Some of the festivities include the typical fan submission categories (AudioViz, CompArt, HandArt, and Writing), as well as a community playthrough of Mother 3 across nineteen GPPs!

What’s a GPP, you ask? It stands for Game Play Point, a term harkening back to the early days of the EarthBound Funktastic Gameplay Summer! It's time to Get Back in the Game! While we encourage you to play the game for yourself along the way, we've brought in some of Starmen.Net's greatest streaming heroes to play through each portion of the game over the course of the Funfest! All streams will be hosted on the official Starmen.Net Twitch channel, and you can find a schedule in this forum thread.

For any questions or to learn more, check out the Mother 3 17th Anniversary Funfest board!
