Announcements

[Dent]

First, this thread will be used for the GM's to post announcements which pertain to the game in general or specific events.

First Announcement:
Costumes are required. NPC Costumes will be very in-depth and detailed, this is to encourage the that the PC"s create realistic and period based costumes which fit to their character. If a PC has no costume, or has a costume, which is deemed inappropriate in any way, they may borrow or rent a costume or part of a costume from the NPC stash. You will not be permitted to borrow an entire costume at every event. If you are having trouble obtaining a costume I suggest you speak with one of the GM's and we will work out a way for you to either rent or buy a costume.

Thank you, that is all for now.

Second announcement: to those of you who have figured this out, and to those of you who would have figured this out eventually, the answer is yes. Currently it works out so that any mage can cast damage 2 spells for nothing. I can tell you right now that this will be revised, however until I get the chance to speak to Captain I'm not sure how we will be solving this little glitch.

update:
The glitch was fixed, the lowest you may ever reduce the sp cost of a spell is now 1sp.

Announcement:

We will be accepting donations at anytime, simply talk to a GM about the specifics of what you would like to donate, however Upon Character Creation we will be accepting donations of cash in exchange for creation points. A 5$ donation will get you 1 extra creation point, and you may purchase up to a maximum of 4 creation points in this way. These are in addition to the 10 creation points you will receive to create your character. Other donations are acceptable, such as costuming or weapons, and a list of the most needed items at this time follows.

Belts
Fake Plants
Red or Black Fabric
Face paint
Chests
Leather
Camp Foam
Open Cell Foam
Printer paper!!!!
Small plastic bags

Each item donated will be evaluated on a need basis, in other words if you donate something we are in dire need of, you will get more exp/creation pts then if you donate something we have an abundance of.

Once again let me point out the Opportunity to receive bonus creation points upon character creation. A 5$ donation will get you 1 extra creation point, and you may receive up to 4 creation points in that manor.

Thank you, if you have any questions ask a GM.



Update:
List was updated.

Hey everyone, i've got this announcement for you all:
Arcana has been reworked a bit, and now every level of Arcana does something. When you use any level of Arcana now, a GM will inform you of the outcome. That's all for now people, but i'm sure that there will be more.

[Dent]

hey everyone, this announcement is for anyone and everyone who is on the forum or who ever may be on the forum:
This Thread is called Announcements! It's called Announcements because it's meant to be used by the GM's to post, you guessed it Announcements which pertain to something that you all need to know about. Please, Please refrain yourselves from posting on this Thread, it's meant to serve only so that we, the GM's, can get information which you need to you! If you have questions or comments about something posted here, private message one of the GM's and we will respond accordingly. Any comments or questions made on this thread will be deleted. Thank you all for your cooperation.

HEY! this is an announcement about:

a rules update for our magic system, which will be posted in place of the current magic system on the general rules page of the rule book. It will be up some time in the next few days, so you should all think about comeing back on in a few days and checking it out!

the fact that very shortly we (the gm's) will stop going out of our way to make sure everyone knows about rules updates in person. We will continue to try and make sure everyone knows when and where events are, but for rules updates we will soon only being letting you know on this forum. We will not be chaseing you down to tell you about what we change, you will be responsible for checking the site and knowing the rules. If you don't check the site, then you'll just end up getting confused and confuseing others when you come to an event, so please, please make sure to check the site every few days, or at least before you come to an event, and get the latest rules updates.

Thanks all!!

!!!!!!WELL EAT!!!!!

Hey, time for another announcement: We have updated the Take feet, and are adding a new feet to each and every magic user called "Concentrate" which will be posted soon under the non-combate feets page. Also the febuary event synopsis will be up shortly and i sugjest that you all go check it out, and in addition check out last months if you havent yet. The event synopsis do show our storyline a bit and give some hints of things to come. And one last thing, just a general statement, but we will be updateing soon the background page, and hopefully be adding a page about discriptions/costume sugjestions for races.
Thanks all and thats all for now!

Attention Magic Users . . . and any one who might be affected by magic at any point . . .

The Concentrate Feat has been added to our Magic system. This means that a caster must use this feat before combat to gain acess to the 10 step rule. If they do not use this feat before battle or if their concentration is broken at any time in combat then they loose the 10 step rule and must throw packets for all spells. To break a casters concentration you must hit them with enough damage at once (ie damage = 2 + the lvl of concentrate they used) basicly hit them with a high damage feat. This is honor system as is all of combat so the caster's honor bound to start throwing packets when his or her concentration is broken.

Thanks all!!

Thanks all.

As a side note, the merc's man / list has undergone some changes . . . if you'd like to check it out.

[Dent]

Please dont reply In the Announcements thread. If you have a comment of question feel free to pm one of the staff.

As regards to the fee, yes the same fee apply's, we ask for a 5$ donation from each player to cover our out of pocket costs.

[Dent]

Just thought I'd give you all a head's up:


1) At one of our last few staff meetings (very productive) we decided to institute "judges"
A judge is a pc who has the ability, granted by staff, to make mechanic's clarifications.
A judge must come to the staff and request to be made a judge, then pass a short review of the types of questions which may come up, and situations where they may have to find a staff person.
Each judge will carry an abbreviated form of the rulebook, known as a judge book.
Judges will be distinguishable by an OOG mark or pin which will be worn in a visible place.


2)Item cards have been revamped, and a skill "Identify" is now required to read item cards. There are different levels of Items, as well as different levels of "Identify"

More on these and others at sign in this month.

[Dent]

July Event date is set.
