Update 1.12
Greetings, OH Members:
This week the world as we know it ends. Well, maybe not the world, but this year at least. I for one am glad to see it go, and as Adam Duritz sings, "It's been a long December and there's reason to believe, maybe this year will be better than the last." One can only hope, as this has been a very long and tiring December (and year) for many of us I'm sure.
How about a new year's resolution for one of your characters? Submit a resolution for this coming year for either a particular character or your roleplay in general, and I'll give you 500 gold and post it in next week's Update if you don't mind it being shared. Some examples might be to become an established DM, or run my first mission, or recruit 5 people into the game, I don't know. You may send in up to one per character!
WEEKLY QUESTS
• Tuesday, January 1st at 9:pm (est)

UPDATES
• Some apparently have been doing this, and some haven't, so I'm making an official ruling...... add your Quickness bonus to your initiative!
NEW YEAR'S CONTEST!
You are all probably aware that you may only have seven characters total in OH active (earning xp) at any one time. Here and there, you will be given the opportunity to play a "free" character, which could be long term or just for a storyline. This ties into our new contest!
You are asked to come up with a group-wide storyline that we all can participate in some way, and you are allowed to come up with a "free" character idea to assist in the storyline. This free character can be any alignment, and assist the storyline in whatever way you see fit. YOU WILL LEAD THE SL! You aren't writing up one for me to run, though I will assist you in any way possible. You can even come up with some missions that go along with the storyline that others can run.
You need to develop a story for the character as well as make a dossier which will be sent via email with your storyline idea. Please make sure that both your storyline idea AND your free character (if you wish one) is well thought out and be prepared for questions if necessary.
Free character starts at Sapphire Defender (2d60) and has all the trait points and skills, etc, that someone at that rank would have.
Deadline:
Saturday, January 19th at 9pm (est).
Prizes:
• A free character starting at Sapphire Defender that you may keep if they survive the storyline!
• 25xp & 5000gp & 3 Reputation Points that you may use for any character of your own.
Extra Credit: You may use the web site for this to find the answer. Get it right? I'll give you 2XP.
WHAT IS THE NAME OF THIS CHEESE?
One of the less savory cheeses, this cheese is popular among necromancers and those who deal with the dead. This cheese uses large amounts of rendered humanoid fat as well as milk fat in the curing process. The cheese has a wet and sloughing consistency that many liken to vomit, and the smell isn't much better. Necromancers and others who are constantly surrounded by death and the undead find that the cheese has a mellow flavor. Others find that even a taste of the cheese induces violent nausea and stomach cramps.
