Update 2.37
Howdy Folks,
Well it seems that since Pam in on vacation until Wednesday, I had to whip something up for this update. Last minute as it may be, I'll try to hit all the wickets.
Andy is on Vacation until Wednesday (as per the memo sent out earlier) so keep that in mind before you send anything his way. or if you have sent anything now you know why it is on delay.
QUESTIONS and ANSWERS
Question: I would like to know when there is public non-adventure type RP?
Answer: Great question. Simple answer is whenever you open a room and do it. We all see the screen names of those who are members. Sometimes buddy lists screw up or AOL acts nuts. Here's an idea, if you make a public room, IM people, email folks saying when you have it open. Actively invite people for play. Public play in this game seems to have taken a nose dive, we should make an attempt to bring it back. Public play draws folks, the lack of it might be a leading factor as to why our "newest joins" are just remakes and not truly new.
RECRUITING CONTEST
It's that time again, a "Back to School" Recruiting Contest! It is never a bad thing to try to bring in new players. They bring in new ideas, new twists and storylines and new blood to the game!
Indeed, there will be prizes, but as always, this is not for recruiting current player's new characters, this is for bringing in new PLAYERS to the game! And please bear in mind, recruiting players that do all the work of sending in an application only to never show their face again does nothing for our game, so for this contest I will not count a person as recruited for this contest until they attend their first QUEST run by an official DM! You will still get your 10XP per recruit though (not including your own new characters or current player's characters). If there is a tie (such as several people all recruit 1) I will roll dice to see who gets first, second and third place.
First Place - 20XP to Any Character, 10,000gp, 2 Reputation Points
Second Place - 15XP to Any Character, 5,000gp, 1 Reputation Point
Third Place - 10XP to Any Character, 3,000gp, .5 Reputation Point
You don't have to sit in a boring stuffy recruit hall to recruit! The best recruiting comes from just roleplaying in public, and having people wander in and ask questions. Open up some of our chats, and if you WANT you can open up a recruit chat!
Here's just a few places you could open in and around Navahla and the OH Inne:
Arts and Entertainment - Obsidian Heart Inne
Arts and Entertainment - OH Pincer Lake
Arts and Entertainment - OH Navahla Market
Arts and Entertainment - OH Amelia Park
Arts and Entertainment - OH Archgate Library
Arts and Entertainment - OH Knifedge Arena
We also have an incentive to new characters starting during this contest.
All new characters start at 35XP, and 3,000gp. This allows a new character to start at Topaz Adept (2d32), giving them 10 trait points, 5 Crystal skills, 3 Topaz skills and a Class & Profession.
WORD OF THE WEEK
Don't forget the Word of the Week! It's easy 2XP you can earn once a week just within your normal roleplay! Check the message board. Learn it. Use it. Send it in.
UPDATES, PATCHES, CLARIFICATIONS
--1. COMBAT MANEUVERS
They are finally done in full on the MB, go check them out.
--3. NEW SKILLS
Combat Affinity: Skill for the use of Combat Maneuvers for those not of a combat class.
