Update 2.07
Greetings, OH Members:
It's that time of the week again, the time for you to get your information fix from the OH Moderators. We are busy, busy with all sorts of storylines and mission nuggets running about the group, and I'm pleased to see your activity. Be sure to make your guesses on the character poems in the next section, I'm handing out XP for correct guesses!
Also be sure to look at the UPDATES section, there is a new rule in place that allows you to put up to five points of enchantments on an item!
Don't forget, today is Sunday. If you have crafting skills it's time for you to ask for your crafting points.
VALENTINE'S DAY CONTEST
You were asked to write a poem of six lines or more in praise of someone else's character (in other words, not your own!). I got in three poems, so I'm posting them here in the update. Please reply back to me with your guess as to who each poem is talking about, and I'll give you 1XP for each right answer!
POEM ONE
Don’t you kill the enemy, save him from the reaper!
Beat the shit out of him then make him a keeper.
He might well have mugged you, and raped Cindy Lou
And maybe killed that one guy and a little kid or two
But none of that matters!
So I say screw you!
This is what I’ll do…
I’ll patch up his hacks and slashings, wrap up his bones,
And offer reassuring words in light timbre tones.
And I pinky swear I’ll watch him, the whole time we roam
But don’t you kill my buddy, I’m taking him home!
POEM TWO
The Queen of Heart won’t take your head
lest you fuck up her bar
And even then she might not kill
but choose to send you far
To murky swamps and frozen wastes..
or do fiery isles suit your tastes?
A zombie thrill or windy spire,
whatever you dream up, she can conspire.
to keep your nose straight and do as you’re told,
And you’ll stay off Red’s mantle and make some more gold.
POEM THREE
Floppy cookie was a ranger,
Who couldn’t hold a bow
And every time she shot an arrow
She prayed to hit a foe
Her knees would knock together
That stomach, it would roll
And pretty eyes would sink and sunder
Over a voice that mocked a tiny foal
For surely floppy cookie,
who tripped over chairs,
found it overwhelming
when amidst zombie affairs.
And while nearly blown to bits,
Floppy cookie still remains
For it seems beneath that flaky crust
A bit of bravery is in her veins
Our winner gets 5xp, 1000gp and as only one person sent in poems, our winner is our Moderator A! A, let me know where you want your xp and gp to go.
WEEKLY QUESTS & ROLEPLAY NIGHTS
• Tuesday, February 19th at 9pm (est) -- Quest -- DM: Pamela
• Wednesday, February 20th-- Group Roleplay Night -- Moderator: Jake
• Saturday, February 23rd at (tba) -- Quest -- DM: Jake
• Sunday, February 24th-- Group Roleplay Night -- Moderator: Pamela
Note: The roleplay nights need someone to oversee them when Jake or I can't do it, so if you'd like to volunteer for one of the roleplay nights to open a chat for at least an hour or two let me know and I'll state who is in charge that night. You don't have to do anything fancy, it could be as simple as opening the inne, or having an archery match, or if you are up for it, a mission in a public room.
WORD OF THE WEEK
Don't forget the Word of the Week, it's always changing and it's XP you can earn once a week just within your normal roleplay! Check the message board. Use it. Send it in.

Potion List
UPDATES, PATCHES, CLARIFICATIONS
--1. Be aware there is now a point system for putting enchantments on your weapons and armor. If there are any of you with glaringly overpowered armor or weapons, I will be getting with you personally to discuss a "fix" which will include giving you back any gold you've spent. The point system is simple. Every weapon or armor is allowed FIVE POINTS of enchantments/improvements. Each enchantment is marked with a dot ( ¤ ) that tells you how many points the enchantment is worth, such as Moonkissed being worth one point. Flameburst is two points. Ominous is three points.
Weapons you gain in loot will be given point values, such as a 2 point Sword, or a 3 point Armor that way you know how much more you can add to it. Crafted weapons and armors will be worked out in the same way, but still need a little work done on how that actually happens, so look for that in the crafting area within a few days.
A weapon with five points of enchantment or improvements on it, may still be used as a Legacy Weapon.
Questions? See Pamela.
--2. The skill "Bareback Riding" has been removed. We have no need for it, we don't have penalties for riding bareback so if you by chance have that skill, remove it and pick another.
--3. If you decide you really do not like the way that you've built your character and want a complete reboot, we will allow such but you will lose all your current XP. You may keep your gear, loot, gold and items but you will be allowed a "fresh start", being able to work up in another class/profession and choose all new skills.
--4. Remember that the first skill switch is free. After that, it costs gold to switch out skills. See the Emporium. The more you switch out skills the more it costs, so choose skills wisely.
--5. Also a note about Flaws. No one required any of you to choose flaws. It was completely and wholly optional. If you chose a flaw and now have decided you don't want it, then you may drop one or two or all three.....but you lose all benefits AND you may never choose another flaw and take a benefit again on that character. You may not "switch out" flaws though, so again, choose wisely. Flaws are things that flaw your character, sometimes from childhood onewards. Not weaknesses....flaws. Things that do not change. Remember that.
Extra Credit: You may use the web site for this to find the answer. Get it right? I'll give you 2XP.
