Ah. Got my T's mixed up. Apologies to both Tieran and Tarsus.

FWIW, I am a fan of the minimal, but vaguely immersive, crafting that you are describing, Tieran. The 2-minute (or 1-minute) model you suggest means feels great to me. I am not crafter, but I would absolutely be willing to spend 6 minutes here, 10 minutes there, to craft things. I very much...

As a compromise between giving this kind of useful detail just once, or doing it in each and every skill, would it be possible to do something like a footnote? So the skill could read "[text] from behind** [text]" and then the footnote would say "** or with a ranged weapon. See page X." This...

When do you imagine using it? A +1 to damage for 10 minutes rarely feels worth it to me (I mostly PC fighters, FWIW).

Anytime there are tables in the rules, I think it would be helpful for the columns to be labeled fully. Right now this especially a problem with "Cost" because there are a lot of different "___ Points" in the game. Compare these two tables: I think the first one should say "Smithing...

I understand! Not seeing it anywhere else was weird, but I get it. It is too bad that others don't get to see the posts. I guess the answer is to share ideas twice: Once in a public forum and once in Suggestion Box.

When I mistakenly tossed out a new suggestion in a place that should have been only about 2.1 Beta feedback (post), Justin (Tieran) directed me to use the suggestions box (https://alliancelarp.com/forum/forums/suggestion-box.498/). I'm glad to see that this exists, but without a direct link I...

I believe that since the ancient Nero days there has been a rule of "no strings on bow reps." I've heard that it is because of safety concerns, but that is rumor (no reason is given in the rules). A lot of bow reps look and feel nice with what I would call a "decorative" string. (Seen in other...

Ah, okay. I see what you are getting at. Consider my suggestion retracted. ;-)

I would suggest adding more than just "spells," like this: Arcane: The Arcane qualifier signifies that an attack is particularly powerful and unique in that there are no protective spells, skills, or abilities that work against it; the target must have a defense against the specific effect or...

I'm reading about the ways to spend coin at Logistics for short-term benefits. Neat ideas. I think the game will benefit from these kinds of "gold sinks."

Dear Alliance Denver community, Effective immediately I will no longer serve as a Page Marshal/Coordinator for Alliance Denver. This is my only current "staff" role in the chapter. As noted in my signature on the Alliance forums, my favorite comeback is "I've been LARPing since before you were...

Hi Jules! Thanks for putting this out there, and for posting both the IG and OOG parts. I'm going to as some questions here, OOG, just so I don't have to decide which is which. ;-) Some quesitons I have seen from folks that could use clarification: I think these are hitting the same idea...

Hi Jesse, I know posting this in the public forum may come across as rude, confrontational, or counterproductive. I'm using the format partly becuase I hope it will get attention, and I hope it will not slide into counterproductive territory. We are 10 days away from the season opener, the...

Thanks, Chris! I appreciate that you will think about it carefully, and that I am asking a volunteer to spend more of their time. Privacy concerns and protecting your own time are both very valid reasons to say "Nope." Cheers!
