wands, rituals, circles, astrology, "The Earth," drawings or pictures of people, heck, I could even make an argument for written language (re: the reason most people learned to read in this time period was to read the bible). This one is the slipperiest slope.

Cremating a body isn't something that's covered by the rules. That'll be a local Plot/Rules call if it's important. I generally don't have a problem with people cremating permed bodies, but that's just me. Sure, I'd probably make someone break out flint or something to pull it off. I dunno...

You can always deliver a killing blow with one of your carriers. If you've got a Flame Blade, you can deliver Flame Killing Blows, just like if you've got a Silver weapon, you can deliver Silver Killing blows. What you can't do any more is deliver killing blows with spells or wand charges.

You can't burn a body any faster than it takes for it to dissipate: With a Flame weapon you can deliver a Flame killing blow, which can still be useful for some things, but it won't help you find loot any faster or convey any other benefit.

Second Seconded (seconding the second second). Matt, SEA/OR Marshal

I put out a Cloak item that, if possible after using it, the user had to shout, "NOT TODAY, FIEND!" We also put out a Circle of Power that stayed up as long as the caster continued singing.

I've also seen a few pacifists run once or twice, then not again. The major problem is getting involved. If you go on a module and want to talk your way out of every fight, the other characters (who aren't pacifists) will eventually get frustrated. It might work for one module, but most of those...

I've created a document of Alliance "Quick Start Rules." It is essentially the 170 page Alliance Rulebook condensed down into 9.5 pages. To pull of this feat, most of the 'non-gameplay' rules were omitted and/or simplified to give a playable (but usually incomplete) understanding of how the...

Thank you, I appreciate that. Really. (To be clear, I was being snarky in my second post, so I apologize for that.) That's true, I'm sure it probably would. I don't think that it's likely to be a prohibitive increase, but it would certainly increase traffic. I don't disagree. Having a good...

I'm totally chill, FYI. The only thing that's remotely caused me not to be chill on this board for the last few months has been Mike (above) reading context into my posts that wasn't there; I realized a few months ago that people's own bias is 90% of what gets me into trouble on these boards, so...

I'll start being condescending if it'll help you (I guess you're free to read it into whatever posts you like, but there wasn't any condescension in my preceding post). I was hoping you might be able to present a sound argument for your model. Since you're responding with sarcasm, I'm left to...

Do you have any evidence to support that this has ever happened? Over the years, we've gotten a couple of people who started playing our game because they googled "Larp" in our area and tried us because our name starts with an A and was at the top of some list. I've never heard of anyone who...

I think that this actually works the other way around. Consider this: You're hanging out with some friends, and one guy you don't really know says, "Hey, let's go over to my place for some XBox." "Sure," you say. However, just as you're about to leave, this guy says, "Oh, I'm gonna need you to...

Based on the first section that Brian quoted above me, I'll say 'no.' While he's right, it doesn't actually say you can't, contextually I believe that it is intended to say that. The "Cannot be combined in any way," bit I think is pretty pertinent here re: the intent. Furthermore, based on past...

It's easier to work with, it's cheaper, it keeps much, much longer, it colors readily, and it's much, much more polite to be hit with.

Re: Alliance Seattle 4-day Event! Yay! Hopefully in after our event next weekend we'll be able to drop a bunch more info on you about the setting!

Not just a trap, it's "Death Trap Island," the only tropical island you want to be voted off of! :thumbsup:

Pre-pay is now closed! If you pre-paid (and even if you didn't), don't forget to pre-register!

I'm 95% sure he's in Washington still, and like 70% sure he's in the Seattle area, though I have this "Everett" feeling when I think about it.
