Perhaps off topic- if others think so I will move it. I think it comes down to is how Alliance Combat is balanced between a Narratavist and Sport approach. To understand this consider this question- "Do I win an Alliance combat when I defeat my foe or when the coolest possible story/things...

I think I am not understanding why it would require more marshals for certain monsters. Is this to make sure that the monsters are taking hits/effects?

There is a different LARP that has a system where unless your target acknowledges the hit/spell/effect with RP the ability is not used up AND it is assumed that the target did not take the effect. No holds are needed and no discussion. This not only de incentivizes mobbing a boss, it also...

First I would like to thank everyone for their on topic discussion. Now for some comments- This is interesting and a bit scary to me- also is it okay via the charter/rules/etc.? This is pretty neat, and I like the idea and implications of this on a narrative. Definitely true, if the...

This is kind of an offshoot of my PVP discussion. Here goes. Disclaimer- I have not done this nor would I. What I am wondering about is the nature of meta-gaming and how consequences actually work in our game world. So here's the situation- my buddy and I want to play political...

I really like PVP. I like it because I like to have my characters in high risk situations, and there is little that is more high risk than going against foes that do not have the "safety" of a plot committee. I am probably more okay with this because I don't really care if my character dies as...

Figured I would offer some advice- mine may be a bit off kilter, but it's what I think- Play an earth caster and do not tell anyone you are an earth caster. Still have all the good bind magic, and I think that earth is more useful (especially when noone but your closest allies knows you cast...

For clarity's sake, this is what I found to be unnecessarily rude in your post. I do not see how the above statement matches this declaration- Calling out someone's perceived mistake and then typing "haha" seems neither concise or non-inflammatory. You could have easily made your point in a...

Sorry that I did not quote you properly. Was mine a procedural or content based mistake? That being said I find that you were unnecessarily rude in your response to my post. Was this intentional, careless or unintentional? I myself find that my points are better received when I take care to...

I think you can disagree with something without it making NO sense. :roll: Just because something is not your cup of tea doesn't mean it is no ones flavor. As for why I would have the price stay the same is that the access to the site remains the same- it is just being used for different stuff...

I am still viewing this as a weekend of entertainment, it is just that Friday night and Sunday morning are modeled on gaming conventions (board games, RPG's, card games and BS). In regards to price it should be the same. My expectation is that the staff will plan for an engaging and exciting 15...

My understanding from talking to people that have run this style game is that it actually requires MORE planning/logistics. Players expect far less downtime than they do in a weekend long event. Also giving a staff all Friday night to set up gives them the opportunity to enact more grand...

I just can't do it anymore, and even if I could I am not sure I would want to. Weekend Events. I am older now (37), a bit broken (knee surgery), have a little baby (he rules!) and a job that needs some of my weekends (Real Estate). To this I add that SOMETIMES not much of import happens on...

Excellent post and idea Mr. Strauss. +1 to this. That number of characters sound just about right. I think of this as a pretty nice midstep (at least from what I want to see). Everyone can get SOME of everything, but only people with the proper training can get EXTRA consistently. I really...

Re: What's wrong with "I call forth a flame bolt.20 magic fl I like this MUCH better than what we currently have. My concern is that in my opinion the incants might "lose something" in terms of tone (remember- I don't care how long they are. In fact I would vote for making up our own cool/long...
