I second the entire segue into the Char fight. Ashlin was so annoyed that my honor demanded I announce myself; and then, I got to announce all of us. --- Tanis and Longaxe posturing at each other, fist-bumping, and agreeing they'll be having a brawl as soon as the world isn't hanging in the...

To All Free Peoples of Trevaelia, and to All Allies of the Four Nations of the Twinspire Accord, These are the words of Count Sir Agathon Stone, General of the Trevaelian Army. Take heed. A week ago, on the fifth day of the Month of the Sun, our scouts reported that the Vor armies were...

If there is a thread about this (and I'm 90% sure there is), I'm very sorry for the duplication, but I couldn't find a clarification in the ARB or on the forums. When you are purchasing a skill that requires you "sell back" other skills, can those skills be applied as a "discount" toward the...

It was a nearer thing than that poor dead Dreamless would like to admit.

The following is a clarification of an LCO rule unique to the Twinspire campaign; this rule does not supplant any rulings made for the Maelstrom campaign or for Alliance at large and is subject to modification if our chapter's Head of Rules or Marshals deem it necessary. There has been some...

Obviously I am not a PC, but if you want to bring anything to set up in the tavern and it is not a major pain for you, have at. For planning purposes, be aware we are planning to set the tavern up in the same place we did last time (by the bridge at the far end of the upper field). I cannot...

Akemi, the next time we gather all our forces in one place I want to talk to you (talk, not yell). We did not finish our talk from this past gathering and I do not want to leave an important conversation unended. You deserve better from me than a couple barks and an interrupted apology. Find me...

To clarify: What IG format does this Google Doc take? Should we only join up if we have Read and Write (or an ally with R/W we can be absolutely sure will relay us 100% of what's in the document?) I'm not meaning to pick nits, I just want to be sure of how to explain where I learned something I...

One last facilities question; Dan, if you want us to break this out into a new thread, just let me know. First, echoing Davio: Fires in designated fire pits OK? Is that something we need to check the fire warning for the day we arrive? Second: Do you happen to know if the cabins have outlets...

Adam has the right of things. Those are the addresses you want to contact. Welcome to California!

Hey Bobby! Hey Embrawk! I'll help get this ball rolling; we'd done a new player intro thread on the old, local forums, but it's a good idea to get one started here. I'm Tyler; I've been LARPing on and off for around 12 years, gaming for around 20; I've been doing Alliance for 11 of those...

Thirded, excellent day event, great work by the Junior Writer and by Monster Desk. Highlights: - Fighting the giants. Great RP, plus super-fun to be a high orc getting to slay his first giant. It was one of the moments where Longaxe really felt "on" in terms of his RP and the way the fight was...

And is anyone else super-mega-duper-quadra-excited? Because even though my birthday is between now and November I want it to be November NOW.

Moments: - Being a High Orc ordered to retreat. Having to take Snag's lesson about bottling my rage to heart was really, really awesome. (I only wish it had been OOG safer for me to back out of every fight we were in, but on some of those hills I was at risk of falling and crushing people.) -...

Thank you for the questions! I will do my best to answer them, with the caveat this is only my opinion and is entirely colored by my experiences with (NERO) Alliance, many of which are old and a product of a different time and overall game philosophy. In general, I want to clarify: None of...

My favorite foes are those that have interesting strengths and weaknesses that fit with the theme of the monster/mod, and those that require a change from the standard ways of dealing with Alliance monsters. My least favorite foes are those that go too far, overshoot making you think tactically...

I love stuff like this, it simulates the monster having more than two "parts" that are dangerous in combat. We did a similar thing for a undead dire bear-like monster in an SF game: we had five NPCs with varying damage values/sizes of claw as the four legs and the head, and then one NPC as the...

I am also in favor of bandages for first aid and boffer hammers for Blacksmith. The reason I don't use bandages for First Aid is actually a separate OOG issue - comfort. I can't think of a period-appropriate type of bandage that isn't tied on, and tying on bandages to people is potentially a...

I actually don't expect to die at any given individual event. I brace for the possibility I will take a death, but I never *expect* to unless I know that I or my team are going and doing something I expect to be lethal (a plot-concluding mod, a confrontation with something we know to be really...

Good question, JP! I don't generally post anymore, but this brought me out of the woodwork. For me, as an 11 year (with a hiatus) player of both NERO Alliance and Alliance, the core of what makes Alliance, Alliance, can be divided into about seven key points: 1. It is a LARP. 2. Its setting is...
