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

    We do, every two years there's a symposium, where rules additions/alterations that have been proposed and vetted get voted on. It takes days just to handle a few dozen small changes each time. A lot of things fail to pass for no other reason than "It's too big of a change." Most sizable changes...

    Rituals and Dead bodies

    Oh mighty ARC, Hear my plea! Can a Ritual target a Dead Body? Can a Ritual target the Spirit of someone who is Dead? This usually comes up as a 'thrown ritual' issue for things like Banish to Other Plane, Shatter Spirit, Obliterate, and Destroy Magic, but at least a few of those have short...

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

    Huh. I didn't read any snark there. Anyways: This is a thing that's going to be an issue forever. The reality of the situation is that someone will always feel that the idea that they have will make the game better, and whatever that idea is isn't necessarily something that's actually agreeable...

    Since it's come up a couple of times already, please keep in mind when you are submitting your downtimes the various restrictions on some goods traveling from Andar into the Valley. If you have traveled from Andar to the Valley in the last year, you should have details in your downtimes...

    Pushing Crossbow construction to the limit...

    1)Yes. 2)Yes. 3)No, but I'd allow it. Matt, OR/Sea marshal This should probably be a props or theory discussion.

    Class Questions

    I'm gonna second the "Fluid Class" option. If you're going to start primarily with fighting skills, start as a fighter. As you buy more casting skills, you'll eventually transition over to Templar. As long as you keep reasonably balanced purchases from that point on, you'll stay a Templar. Plus...

    For folk that don't know what he's talking about: Rules Change: Healer's Resolve

    Healer Resolve, new edition

    It's "Magic," so it works like a spell, meaning that it will set off a Spell Shield (or Reflect) if touch cast on someone who is not conscious. However, like a spell, it can be touch cast and accepted by someone who is conscious and leave their defenses intact.

    Monster Tree Pictures Please!

    The first hour of that fight took place in the daylight, so I was hoping that there would be more pictures taken then. This is the only lit action one I know about, and it's really blurry. (Clearly it was taken while Zoidberging it out of there. WOOP WOOP WOOP!)

    Help with Character Spell Slots

    As an additional note, if you tell your logistics team "I'd like to buy spells so that I can get my tree into this shape, please spend my build as necessary to do that," they'll probably accommodate you without having to do all of the work figuring out how to buy your spells correctly. It's nice...

    Roleplaying a Disability

    A guy I PCed with for a few events tried using a limp for a few games. After the first game he said it was so uncomfortable and awkward that it actually got him limping from soreness, and slowly "got better" over a few events so he could quit playing it. It's a single case, second hand, but it's...

    Monster Tree Pictures Please!

    So far I've only seen one action shot, and it was pretty blurry. Did anyone else get any action shots of the Tree?

    Gypsy Job question

    I would tell them "no." If they're that sensitive to being offended by make believe, they are going to be offended by something at our game. I refuse to limit the scope of my game or cater to the whiniest denominator. We are in the minority as far as LARPs go by not having religion. Last month...

    Elemental Weapons

    A Rebirth is a Life spell. This is one of the many reasons that it's impossible to damage a body beyond repair in under 5 minutes. Death removes (nearly) all status effects, and Life fixes Dead. You could have a fingernail left behind, Life that (so long as the spirit is in it) and BAM! all lost...
