Update 2.38
Greetings, OH Members:
In our year of existence, we've had some great times and we've had some down times as happens with anything, especially AOL roleplay. I'm looking forward to an awesome second year, and hope you are as well. We've got activities going on nearly every night and as Jake has often reminded us, we can open up chats at any time and just do regular roleplay!
We feel that with all that OH offers, the one thing we are missing is just regular chat roleplay. I know it may not be everyone's cup of tea - it certainly is not mine - but it has it's place and I'd like to ask you to think about giving even just one hour a week to opening any chat you like for OH and roleplaying. I'm going to take this challenge myself as well. If we all just give a little bit of time, then we'll have something to offer those looking for a good game that enjoy basic roleplay.
Don't forget, if you have crafting skills it's time for you to ask for your crafting points. Don't forget to tell (ashtonlocke) and let him know how you want your points divided between skills if you have multiples...i.e. "Alchemy 8CP, Artisan 2CP". If you have skills or items that give you more points, you need to claim that on your email.
WEEKLY CHALLENGE
I'm going to start a weekly challenge, and this week it's going to be extremely simple! When you complete the challenge, send me proof and label it "Weekly Challenge" or I won't know what it is. Put a list at the top of everyone that was involved so I know who to give credit to and do not have to search the log. You may only complete the challenge once per character unless otherwise stated. So for this week's challenge, regardless of how many matches you play on that character, you only get credit for the ONE you send me for completing the challenge - one per character.
Your challenge this week will earn you: 5xp & 1,000gp
Your challenge is to have an archery/marksmanship match with another player's character.
Note: Logs should be sent to temptofblack to gain xp and credit for marksmanship wins. Send the log to me (tesarikone) as well, for your challenge prize. It will be given separately from the marksmanship xp, which comes to me each Saturday via our Activity Mod.
QUESTIONS and ANSWERS
Question: What are Traits and what do they do for me?
Answer: I will post what is on the site, which tells you what every trait does for you!
Strength [STR] - Break Door, Lifting or Opening Heavy Objects, anything to do with physical strength. This adds to your Melee Weapon Damage.
Quickness [QCK] - Your agility, how dexterous you are, ability to move out of the way of incoming danger. This also adds to your Strike, and Ranged Damage, as well as your Initiative Roll.
Endurance [END] - Use this skill to stave off ill effects, poisons and to push beyond normal physical limits. It encompasses the character's physique, toughness, health and resistance to disease and poison. This adds to your hit points.
Willpower [WLP] - Endurance is your physical, willpower is your mental and emotional, the ability to fight charm effects, magical attacks and effects, and attempts to manipulate your mind or emotions. This adds to your hit points.
Intelligence [INT] - Intelligence is not only your IQ, but reasoning skills, and your ability to learn things. This adds to your Magic Damage & Spell's DC.
Perception [PER] - Awareness deriving from your senses, such as spot, listen, search and locating traps and secret doors, and the like.
Charisma [CHA] - Charisma is your physical attractiveness as well as your persuasiveness, and personal magnetism
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! This ends at the end of October.
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
Leaderboard:
1 Recruit - *Allegro Luna, *Tesarik One, *Ascending Aria
*Unconfirmed, the recruits need to attend a quest.
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. Starting now, if you transfer in you either get the TRANSFER or the INCENTIVE. Not both.
