Greetings, OH Members:
Yes, I know, it's not the weekend. I'm sending this EARLY!! We've got a few new members, which is truly awesome. It brings me to my next newsworthy item, the NEW RECRUIT BONUS. Yes, I've decided that during our introductory time while we are opening up to the public that all new members that would normally start at d20, Crystal Recruit will be given a special bonus of 10XP, 100GP and start at Crystal Cadet. I know it's not much but it still beats starting at d20, right?
Please let me remind you, we are not the type of writing group that insists on you recruiting all the time but if you so desire to open recruiting establishments, you are more than welcome to do so, just I'd prefer if they were used to do roleplay within them and not just sitting around being bored. So something like an "OH Recruit Tavern" or "OH Recruit Camp" or somewhere you can do rp while you recruit. Or, just open a regular OH chat and rp, and when people come in engage them both IC and OOC if you wish! Let them see how interesting we are through roleplay.
Also, we'll be starting our "Word of the Week" (or possibly day, depends on the activity numbers) where you can earn a couple XP just for using a new word in your roleplay. Check the OOC section of our message board for that.
* Flaws are new, and are completely optional. Check them out.
* There are new skills added, esp for Combat oriented classes.
* There is now a Magical Strike which you add your Intelligence Bonus to as opposed to Physical Strike.
** Please check your dossiers to make sure they are up to date and correct. They were all gone through recently and several of them had mistakes! I'll be talking to you individually if I haven't already.
** Note that all activity records (spars, archery, and the like) need to go to TESARIKONE now in order to gain the xp. I may do the xp as I get the records right now but as we grow I will do them every weekend and post new ranks in the Weekend Update. If there's anyone that does not have a job, that would like to take on the duty of keeping up with XP Records, let me know. It's easy, as there are set XP for things people do, no deciding on what to give.
Welcome to OH, New Members!
Please, folks, let's be known for being a friendly writing group and if you see these people online, IM them and let them know they are welcome! Ask if they want to roleplay!

A reminder from the last update: we've been opening the Arts and Entertainment - Obsidian Heart Inne pretty regularly, and we've had a few come in and peek around. Any member of OH is welcome to open any type of chat room with OH or Obsidian Heart in the title, just as long as they abide by our very few rules (aka: no sex in the chat!).
If someone is having trouble with their application and you aren't available to walk them through, you can always ask any of the other Moderators to assist them. I know for some it's overwhelming but I try and tell people to not be worried, we will help them every step of the way, and will train as they go. No need to let the rules stop someone from joining, since we all are learning it as we go as well.
Here's a few more chats you could open related to Navahla, the major city we are located in, but remember you can open any chat you like with OH on it:
Arts and Entertainment - OH Archgate Library : The library in Navahla.
Arts and Entertainment - OH Pincer Lake : The large lake that Navahla is located on.
Arts and Entertainment - OH Navahla Market
Arts and Entertainment - OH Amelia Park
Arts and Entertainment - OH Canton Royal : The area around the castle, where knights could be jousting, people could be sparring, or just hanging out.
Arts and Entertainment - OH Knifedge Arena : This is located in Knifedge, a nearby town.
Arts and Entertainment - OH Activity Field : Could do archery matches, sparring, or anything here.
Remember to have the person put your name on their application for a 5 XP bonus.
