Update 3.14
Greetings, OH Members:
April is a busy month for me, I'm going to be out of town for nearly 2 weeks of the month. I've marked these on the calendar on our board, so take a look. I'm going to try my damndest to make sure I run as many things as I can before and in between my trips - so please take a moment to look at the calendar and try to attend something being run this week. In May, I'm going to pick up activity if possible by having a few more things going on rather than just our two quests a week, so let me know what you'd like to see. I'm thinking some sort of tournament, or activity that includes opening up some chats in public so we can do a little recruiting for the summer months.
Welcome back to Gar-Thog (mightygarthog). He has rejoined our storyline. Maria doesn't quite know what to think. :)
REMEMBER: Please sign up for all quests at this time. Send an email to tesarikone (or whoever is hosting the quest).
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
Your challenge this week is a writing prompt challenge. Choose one of your characters, and write a story using the following prompt through the eyes of your character. It must be at least 300 words.
PROMPT: Flipping through some old tomes you borrow from the library for research, you find one of the books you incorrectly chose to take home with you. It’s a handwritten journal authored by someone you know from the past or present. Who wrote it and what does it say?
Your challenge this week will earn you 5XP and 1000gp.
Send to tesarikone for credit. You may post this on the board and send me the link. The board has a widget that tells you how many words are in the post, so that's helpful!
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.
