Hey guys! So, most of you don't know me, but I'm the player of Velnaeus, a character in the Traverse City chapter. I'll been to nearly every event in Traverse the past four or five years, and also attended several Dragonreach events, and now that I'm more set in my finances, I'd like to make it down next year for a taste of Wayside!
On that note, though, I've heard and read different things about the rules of character transfer/LCO policy, as well as seen and heard of several concerning motifs around the Wayside plot. SO! I though I'd dismiss rumor to hear the real, OOG story of how the Chicago game goes! I just have a few things I'd like to have clarified:
1) I'll address the elephant in the room first: I've only heard terrible, nasty things about the Nobility in Wayside. If I only had 100 gold for every good thing I've heard about Wayside (in-game from other characters, of course), Velnaeus couldn't afford his next meal. That being said, I've got to ask: is the Wayside plot focused enough around adventuring that stranger to the Politics such as myself could have a fun time, or is it more a matter of frequency, and the more you know, the more fun it is? As much as I want to experience the world you all have built, I don't want to drive seven hours to sit through ten public hearings and an execution, fight one battle, then drive another seven hours home.
2) This isn't as much a concern as it is a clarification: How flexible is the chapter with Artifact based transforms? I read in the rules of your chapter that Artifacts transfer as simple rendered items, and if they are approved, they can be attuned through a mod. Is that an avenue which could be explored, or are all transforms banned regardless of their balance? I'm interested in seeing Wayside either way, I just don't want to hope in vain that my Book would be passed, I'd rather know for sure when going down.
3) What kind of allowances, if any, are made in-game for Mist travelers? I, of course, can do as much research out of game as I like, but Velnaeus won't know a darn thing about the state of the nobility, their rules, common etiquette, etc. For one thing, he probably won't know more than a few faces, let alone who is nobility. Is there a buffer in place for those who don't know the specific laws, or is it a "You're here, you're accountable" kind of deal?
I appreciate any help you all can provide, and I look forward to hopefully seeing you all next year!
