    Norwecon Member interested in more information

    Hi! Welcome to Alliance Seattle. We've collected most of our first time player information in a single new players thread. Since you mentioned your son, you'll probably be interested in our young player's policy. If you have any clarifying questions on the new players thread or want to ask for...

    February Event Favorites!

    I had a great game, lots of great roleplay all around, and some great mods. In no particular order, as always... Players having fun with the dungeon crawls I wrote, especially them figuring out the tile & warder glyph puzzles. Yo dog, I heard you like monkey wrenches, so I put a monkey wrench...

    February Event Highlights!

    So much fun, here's what pops to mind: -Rezzing Prashka and then getting Ashok drunk. -Seeing Meeko get caught among the undead & commanding them to kill her. It was right out of a zombie movie, screams and all. -Hanging with the Gypsies -Ashok got a bit out of control this event, just pulling...

    Alliance LARP: The Quest for Stuff

    I'm not surprised you were confused; my wording was odd and incomplete. What I intended to say was that the cap improves the problem you mention at the end. Let's say a group consists of 3 players, one with no items, one with a 5 cloaks, mixed between eldritch force, gift, and command, and one...

    Alliance LARP: The Quest for Stuff

    So here's a challenge: Can anyone design a system which both empowers those who do enjoy the stuff-quest and does not force players who are not interested in it to participate? I would posit that any system which allows for an uncapped stuff-quest (i.e. not instituting hard limits on the number...

    Favorite moments November 2012

    In no particular order as always: -Stupid O'Clock mod was lots of fun, I'm glad we got to do it -Good Roleplay all around, especially during the Spirit Farewell. Watching so many PCs invested was really heartening. Advancing some slow burning storylines that are just about ready to start...

    Left Behinds

    No, it's a full mitten with no pull-over cover, and more tan-brown than greyish.

    Something That Sucks. How do we make it not suck?

    What you propose is: 1) extraordinarily difficult to achieve, on a purely human psych level. 2) not the kind of game I want to play in even if it is possible To explain briefly: 1. You want 100 different people to all attend the same event and share an communal experience, but also all feel...

    Oct. Event Favorites!

    The anger, oh the anger. From the beginning irritation ("Well, to us normal emotional people, you come off as being irritated pretty much all the time.") to everyone tiptoeing around him as he fell deeper and deeper. Why you didn't knock him out or confine him during the final moments, I don't...

    New weapon lengths and Two Weapon Fighting

    From v. 1.1 of the core rulebook, p 68: Given that the apparent intent of this rule is to allow long-short double wielding & the lengths of short weapons have changed, should this be corrected to either read "One of the weapons must be a short or small weapon" or "one of the weapons can be no...

    Refusing Biata mind abilities.

    I play a Stone Elf, and one of the big things that attracted me to the race was the mind powers. I love that type of RP. It allows for great collaborative stories and I was worried some about other players not being willing to participate, or deciding to reverse the effects on a whim. My...

    -The Tavern. Can't be said enough, the Deco team really outdid themselves. -The aftermath of Sam throwing Necro, particularly Daylen jumping in to reassure Toland at the slightest hint of "We all share responsibility for not stopping the abuse". -Watching & participating in the growth of...

    Season End, Favorite Moments

    So very many small fantastic roleplay moments. I really like the way that I'm getting to evolve Ashok, and all the PCs and NPCs I interact with are really helping. A few specific things that come immediately to mind: 1) You try for a year to start long interesting conversations with as many...

    Man, this event was overall one of the coolest and most interesting stories I have ever experienced, and it would never have worked as well outside of a LARP. -Staying up until 4 in the morning with Virid and Kaela, helping her sort out her feelings on knowing her future. -Distracting Blake so...

    Stone Elf Emotions

    I don't know what the ettiquette is as far as discussing the national race packets, but suffice it to say that the position of the information within the race packet, as well as the specific wording, leaves some ambiguity. In addition, this interpretation has some troubling interactions with...

    Event faves, anyone? Thank yous

    I had a great all around game, lots of fantastic roleplay all around. Some particular highlights: -Getting 4 gypsies to spend 5 minutes considering a serious moral question. From sexual innuendo to cannibalism, right back to sexual innuendo. -All the interactions with Squirrel, that whole...
