Ian, I recieved your message and am working on it. Thanks, Steve

This is interesting data analysis, I do want to say though: fighter crash and scout spike are really just the natural progression of fighters at this point. At some point it just becomes more efficient from an xp perspective to buy backstabs for conditional repetitive damage compared to the...

Hey all! My name is Stephen, and Im the head of National Customer service. I understand there are strong feelings here, but I want to address some themes here that have come up in the above conversation (and elsewhere). 1. "The people in charge don't care about the opinions of players at...

Hello Alliance Players! We have a batch of rules updates coming on December 1, 2025. These changes will be less sweeping than the last few large rules updates like 2.0 and 2.1. These updates will be more akin to balance patches that are applied in other games. We understand that people may...

It makes me very happy to be the first person to respond and welcome you to the New England Alliance family. I, for one, cannot WAIT to play in your game. Stephen Alliance NH GM

I'm thinking... about 5 minutes from now after I update a post! :)

This question is impossible to answer because it depends SO MUCH on so many variables. Prices for ritual scrolls will vary based on things like: How many players are attending events and their xp level Because these things can impact how much treasure goes out. The way that different...

Hi Sam, The two small buildings are not available for use as sleeping quarters right now. We have very few buildings compared to the size of our player base, and to be fair to as many people, we aren't having anyone use them for sleeping. We are aware (more now than ever, considering the...

Generally speaking, we treat each CM as = 1 silver when making trades/splits.

This thread is for rulebook edit requests. Please be as specific as possible in your request. (This text is a placeholder for additional language that will be more specific.)

Hello adventurers! National staff has completed the first round of edits to the 2.1.1 rulebook. The result is 2.1.2! What's new in 2.1.2? A passage was added to the rulebook on Page 10 clarifying a "New Player Skill Reset." The text reads: New Players are given leniency with their first...

I’m going to need you to be more specific. There are 4 documents in this vote. DM me if you would like. Stephen National CS

Hi James, Can you clarify your question for me? Stephen National CS

Hi there, We’ve already committed to reviewing this policy. The policy, as passed, was an immediate action that national staff and owners felt needed to be done. But, no one has determined that our work is finished. To quote from the above directly: “Other worries that came up in conversation...

One last thing. It is Alliance Forum policy that we don't have theory-crafting discussions about potential rules or rituals. It has been problematic in the past. So I do have to lock the thread from further comment. Thank you, Steve National CS

Hi Dwayne, Three things! 1. I actually kind of like this idea. I'm not certain I fully grokk its actual usage for players, but it's neat! Thanks for sharing. 2. I can confirm that this suggestion was already brought to the Design Team Lead for review and to potentially be sent to ARC for...

Dear Alliance LARP community, I'd like to take the time to inform you of an update concerning this year's National Event. In light of recent changes, Alliance Denver will no longer be hosting the event. Alliance Crossroads has generously agreed to take over and host the event scheduled from...

At the end of the day a mercenary is someone who fights with the intention of getting paid. That's what MOST of the players at the games I play do. You can be the nicest, sweetest, healer-est guild master in the campaign, but if your coin primarily comes from killing goblins and taking their...

Gary, "What was the guiding principle behind this rules change? Was the goal to make the system simpler, for example?" The guiding principle of this rules update was to finalize the 1.3 conversion process. This included adding a Crafting update, fixing unintended power balances, and reworking...

Greetings, Thank you for your patience. We've spoken to everyone involved and taken time to deliberate. I'll post a response here and then unlock the thread for further comments at this point (assuming that people play nice). 1. Threats The comments above regarding threats are referencing...
