Update 3.31
Greetings, OH Members:
The summer is going by fast, and boy have we had a big summer! Lots of new members, lots of writing together, lots of improvements! It's been great. I've been on the AOL roleplay scene since the late 90's except for a few years I took "off", but I say that because no matter what game I've been in, there's always a lull in the game when school starts and people start getting busy after the summer so I want you all to just hang in there if there is a lull, because it always picks up again. We will continue to have activities planned for you all, but there is one thing we all believe here in OH - IRL comes first. That makes us different than some of the other games out there. So if you have to take it easy for a little while when school starts (or for any reason) please just let us know!
I am still recovering from the food poisoning, with my lowered immune system it's going to take a few weeks to recover from the weakness and general feeling bad, so I'm going to TRY to have a very busy week heading up to the Triple Eclipse but if something is tentative, it's tent for a reason and I will attempt to do it but if I'm feeling ill then it may not happen. Please be understanding during this time.
CRAFTING POINTS
Don't forget, if you have crafting skills it's time for you to ask for your 10 crafting points from (psionicwanderer) . If you have skills or items that give you more points, you need to claim that on your email. If you haven't rolled for your new month things, best do it, such as Pecunia.
CONGRATULATIONS

DARK OMENS STORY ARC UPDATE
The Triple Eclipse is happening this coming Saturday! Will it be the end of Arith as we know it? I dunno yet! Maybe.......but in the meantime this week we are going FULL FORCE taking care of some of the crypts. This Saturday's quest will be very difficult...stay tuned.
WEEKLY CHALLENGE
Your challenge this week is to post an Introduction for your character in our Introductions area. Introduce your character to the storyline in whatever way you would like to do so, it could be a story, a series of questions you answer, a note you post on the bulletin board at the inne, anything you'd like to let us all know exactly what you want us to be aware of with your character!
You may do this for each of your characters, and each character will receive from 1-5XP depending on what you've posted. Please send me the link to your post (as it MUST be posted on the board) to gain credit, with the subject line as always reading "Weekly Challenge".
NEW CHARACTER BONUS & RECRUITMENT INCENTIVE
We have an incentive to new characters! New characters will start at Crystal Adept with 30XP and 2d32 dice. They will also be given 3,000gp to outfit their character.
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
Be sure to check our Calendar for listings of activities each week. IF YOU ADD A DATE, connect it to a 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.
