    Flurry change proposal

    I hate flurry rules. Or limit fighting rules (1 second between swings). But I hate being encircled and beat with so many calls that all I'm doing is making defense calls and cannot make offense calls. I think this is the primary reason flurry was to be established. Allowing people to make their...

    Is Your Chapter Running Play Tests?

    Update for Oregon. We plan to run one the last weekend of July. It's late but summers are busy times.

    Where Did the Year Come From?

    Oregon just chose 6 and then the last two digits of the real year... No idea why 6 though.

    Spirit Forge

    I have an idea that I will openly admitted that I am stealing from another larp. We play in a world of PFM (pure fricken magic). That being said, it happens all the time and as such people don't die regularly and heal miraculously. I propose that ever player be able to rewrite their entire...

    Downtimes for June

    Hey players! For this round of downtimes, we would like people to know that heading to the capital via circle walk or heading to Foxbridge via walk-walk will just happen. It has to happen and we don't want to dictate you having to spend your downtimes that way. That being said, you can have...

    Renaming MWEs?

    They share some similar racials as elves (resist command, -1 body to start) and racial make up (pointed ears). They also have long life spans (RP) just like elves. I don't see a problem with them being Wood Elves.

    Regarding Group DTs

    We have had many people be CC'ed on multiple downtimes. We have had people say they are doing someone's group downtime, without that person sending in a group downtime. We have gotten mixed messages and we are trying to alleviate the confusion. We need to have a better system in place that...

    [0.8] Chaining Martial Skills

    It's totally fair. Some people have different reactions to seeing things in action. One problem with "only do this when you think it is appropriate" and not having something on the card (like Swarmed 3, etc) is then when a marshal gets a complaint, the NPC only has the defense of "plot told me...

    [0.8] Chaining Martial Skills

    As a matter of fact, the swarmed mechanic would have. I was swarmed by at least 8 PC's, backed against a step (knee height) and I couldn't move my weapon around all the weapons in at me nor throw anything due to having to call a hold every 4-6 seconds to hear what everyone did and give a...

    [0.8] Chaining Martial Skills

    Not to poop on your parade but: Voice - people may not legitimately hear it, even at close range. We are a game of calls and everyone starts shouting. Shun all non - Command. Bane, cloak, resist, immune. Not super useful Rift - Interruptible via defense use/Take out and also people tend to...

    Another deficit to Armor and Traps, to bolster the in-combat/out-of-combat paradigm, is that you have to remain stationary, where as (I think) IDing consumables doesn't have that requirement. Meaning I can run around IDing the tags as long as I don't get hit? I would have to re-read the rules...

    European larps LOOK cool, but would they work for us?

    One week? You mean three. :P

    There is a negative for both of these. Traps go off. Armor is not replenished and you have to start over. There isn't really a negative for potion ID except starting over. It should be distracting and be difficult to ID in combat.

    Weapon Shield and Disarm Strike

    Bryan cleared this up but I think it's important to note it states "No target may be called," not "A target may or may not be called". The "No" in front of the sentence makes it so you are unable to call a target. It's similar to "A target may not be called". Yay English language.

    And this is the reason I am in the boat to get rid of ID timers entirely. :P But this is not the place for the conversation on that necessarily. Should you be able to read what's on the scroll since it is WRITTEN ON THE SCROLL, absolutely. Should I have to spend 3 hours identifying loot? No...

    Honestly, I think it should be across the board the same. It's that getting rid of exceptions things. "Everything takes 60 seconds to identify. Well except scrolls. Those can be instant." I wouldn't say its a major power decrease at all considering all of the major power Celestialists have right...

    High makeup race help.

    I use Mehron Paradise as well or Mehron Starblend. They both stay on well with a simple application and barrier spray. But this is very important: YMMV! Everyone's face/skin is different. Try some out if a friend of yours has some. See what a day of wear feels like and if it lasts. Some people...

    [0.8] Memory Strike

    Currently, Spellstrike Magic Storm, requires you to plant your feet and you swing for "magic storm", there should be no movement.

    Also tangent (slightly), being even more screwed by the rules is having to use alchemy to apply potions to a potion blade ritual. (https://alliancelarp.com/forum/threads/potion-coating-clarification.33507/) That devalues create potion/earth casters a little more. Having the ability to be the...
