What is the ok time to show up on site?

I created something called an Artisan's Combat Rod. A simple plumbing plastic pipe that kept 4 frequently used combat scrolls and two different potions with a dozen 'vials' each.

I knew a barkskin that used oak leaf garland. And she'd use different garland depending upon the season.

Once ran a larp without a big battle mod Saturday Night. The players didn't know how to deal with it. Kept watches up all night because they knew there HAD to be a big battle coming.

Depends on the dryad type you're playing. When I played a reed dryad, I got myself some nettinng and faux seaweed. Then I looked up bamboo placemats as well as the thin bamboo reed style fencing.

Our rules, like a lot of other rules, are about how us as players can interact with one another and other things in the game world in a way we all agree to and what the effects/consequences of those actions are. So they're explicit about it so that everyone plays fair and safely. We have a...

No one is ever 'taken out of game' during a game. You may not be able to fight, to move or to speak but you're not out of the game. Now if we're saying that at Alliance game=combat, then yes, that happens. But I have been in multiple battles where I never swung a single blow and yet was (at...

The question, as always, is what it the objective of the mechanic of the game? And these need to be answered before going forward with the solution to carry it out. To make play easier? To add immersive elements into it? To give other people who aren't straight up combatants another facet to...

I should note I've been playing the game since 1992 so I've seen the changes over the years. Back when it was an unwritten policy that earth spells were green packets, celestial was blue, necromancy was red and alchemy was still orange. And before that, spell packets were made of corn starch...

I suppose the question is why were colors put forth in the first place and is that reason still a valid one? To me, the only thing I could see is to define what type of cauliflower hand the person was holding so that you could tell if they were casters or alchemists. Also (unless I have the...

I'm not sure how that is any different than the description of the clothespin with two thumb tacks in it that is in the rulebook - other than it taking half a minute for the clothespin to snap shut. A person sees the tripwire, follows it back to the pin, sees that the pin is holding something...

For the record, Feb's date coincides with DunDraCon.

If no one else will take the money...

Muir, you forgot to divide the diameter in half before doing your calculations as it is radius squared for the volume of a cylinder. And if we wanted to go crazy with technicalities, that is the space that the bottle takes up (roughly .66 cu/in) , depending upon the thickness of the glass, the...

I will measure one of the half ounce bottles below tomorrow (will be near the Taps Plastic in my area) but I think that they're a little bit bigger than the ones you posted. If you could measure how tall and wide your actual bottles are, it will help. I have an ounce bottle and it measures 2"...
