Update 3.10
Greetings, OH Members:
Warmth! I'm so glad for the sunshine and warmth. We've sprung forward into Spring, and I'm truly hoping that the warmth is going to bring out all of you hiding under piles of schoolwork, bedcovers, and wherever else you might be and that just like Spring renews life in the world around us it's going to renew life into our wonderful game!
BIG NEWS - Engineering is now open. Now, I'm still doing work, tweaking, and such but general rules are up so check that out! We are basing engineering on alchemy & artisan crafting - clockwork, and it's going to open up an element of steampunk (which I absolutely adore) into our game. We aren't quite moving into modernity, but we'll have some cool clockwork ran items, alchemical bombs and devices.
REMEMBER: Please sign up for all quests at this time. So, when you look at the calendar or list of events below and there is a quest, mission, etc you 'd like to attend SEND AN EMAIL. This worked great last week, I'm trying to get away from the whole no one shows up and DM waits around for a while unsure....or worse yet, someone arranges to be around, and DM never shows. SIGN UP! It's better to sign up and not make it, than not sign up and have it cancelled.
Don't forget, if you have crafting skills it's time for you to ask for your crafting points. Don't forget to tell (psionicwanderer) 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
This week I'd like to focus on getting the game open, letting people know we still exist, and maybe even get some new people interested. We'll do this by opening public chats! So open any public chat with OH in the title, including "Obsidian Heart Inne", and log the hour (you can spend more, hour is what we are looking for) and make sure the chat name is in the log. Send me the log!
Your challenge this week is to open a PUBLIC chat for one hour.
You may get credit once per day, per player. I'm going to give you 5XP to any of your characters per log (1 per day) for this challenge. Send to tesarikone for credit. That's 35XP in just one week you can earn!
NEW CHARACTER BONUS & RECRUITMENT INCENTIVE
We are continuing our incentive for new players and characters. All new characters at this time will start with 40XP, and 2000gp. This puts them at Topaz, allowing them to choose a profession as well as class. Be sure to let people know that there is an incentive going on right now when you talk to them!
Recruiters, if you recruit a new player (not just someone's new character), then you will receive 10XP & 2000gp per player that actually fills out an application correctly and is accepted! You may put this xp & gp on any character you wish.
CALENDAR
While it is a change to be using the Calendar System on our boards, let's try to start using it. This includes me! I will be using our Calendar system more and more, it's right across the top, click it for info. IF YOU ADD A DATE, I've added a new board called "Event Calendar" and you can link all your posts there, so if you are hosting a mission or quest, or other activity please use the calendar to let us know what's going on.
