Can anyone recommend a good place in the IC to read from to get a gist of the current story arc/arcs?

Well, do you want recent events as in on the current day or since Ded's arc (the only world one btw) started? There's actually several story arcs, independent of each other, going on right now. From early starts as heroes to taking on local thugs, investigating a massacre at a local stadium and even fighting the current threat.   

The start of Ded's current world event is [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/135-create-a-hero-rpg-always-accepting/ic?page=27#post-3157809]here[/url] but for recent developments in the arcs I suggest 3 pages back actually.

[@Fallenreaper] Well I will wait to see what [@nitemare shape] and [@Dedonus] say on the whole idea of Mimics first

Alright, though I think NMS is sick currently so it might be a bit before you hear from him.
