Given the unique nature of this event, we have several notes for you - please be sure to read these, as they’ll affect your game-play during the event!
- Event Information: The dates of the event in real life are August 18-20, 2017. Please remember that this event only is being held outside of Woodland Park, CO, at Sky High Ranch (http://www.alliancedenver.com/sky-high-ranch.html)
- Friday through Logistics on Saturday: The event will take place IG in New Acarthia, in the Warehouse District, which is near Deepjugs Tavern. The circles are different IG than those in the Town Hall district of Old New Acarthia; you retain your investiture if you were previously invested here. Deepjugs Tavern does not have the Haven of the Living spell cast on it.
- Forestwatch: Saturday evening Logistics through Sunday: The event will take place IG in the estate of Forestwatch in the royal fiefs. That area is currently held by the liche, Dreadrot.
- Information Cards: BLUE cards will be used for New Acarthia resources. ORANGE cards will be used for Forestwatch resources. We hope to take down all the Blue cards before you get to Forestwatch. If you see one after Saturday Reset, kindly take it town and return it to Monster Camp for us.
- Mod Cards for New Acarthia: To set expectations, we want players to know that few Mod Cards will be out for the New Acarthia portion of the event. There are many mod hooks for that time, but only very few will be styled as Mod Cards. There will be Blue Information Cards for your exploration in New Acarthia.
- Total Solar Eclipse: Rumors are now widespread that a total solar eclipse will occur around 1:00 pm on Saturday, August 19.
- SATURDAY NIGHT RESET, 5:00-7:00 PM: The entire game will stop, and the event will be completely OOG from the hours of 5:00-7:00 pm Saturday. This is to allow our game staff and volunteers the opportunity to reset information cards, props, and other necessary changes to facilitate the change in setting. Dinner will be served during this time. You may roleplay amongst yourselves if you wish. No NPCs will be available for roleplay during this time. To be clear, the event will be entirely out-of-game, as if the whole campsite is wearing one giant white headband during this 2-hour period.
- Workshops and Labs: You may use your workshops/labs as normal this event, for both Logistics periods. Technically, you’re using your workshop or lab in New Acarthia before you depart for Forestwatch.
- Wards: You will be given instructions about Wards for your “new” cabins (IG) in Forestwatch when Lay-Off is called for Reset at 5:00 pm.
- Buildings Use in Forestwatch: To save everyone’s sanity, we are not changing the intended use of buildings from one city to another. Keep your cabin assignment (unless you wish to change - work that out yourself if so). The Tavern, Mages Guild, Healers Guild, and Merchants Guild buildings will retain their use as the local counterparts in Forestwatch (though you will need to access those resources in new ways, of course). The Craft Building will be OOG, used as Monster Camp this event. (The large house down the hill normally used for this purpose is not available for the game’s use this event.)
- Game On (Round 2) is 7:00 pm Saturday night.
- At 7:00 pm, your characters will have arrived in Forestwatch. The IG date will be Tuesday, 22 August. 3 days will have passed IG since Lay-Off for Reset. This means that any 5-day effects, such as spellcrafting, generated at the start of this event will still be in effect.
- Information Cards and Mod Cards for Forestwatch: There will be many ORANGE Information Cards and Mod Cards out for Forestwatch. These will be marked with glowsticks to make them visible at night when you arrive. We encourage PCs to explore the new area in Forestwatch, even at night, because time is of the essence in your fight against the liche Dreadrot! Orange Information Cards and Mod Cards may have great importance in the story to be discovered in Forestwatch.
Kindly let us know if we forgot anything in our briefing. Have fun! Be safe OOG! Please consider volunteering for an NPC shift.
Thank you!
