The day camp is no longer in. Arrival/ability to be on site returns to normal. You can arrive beginning at 12pm on Friday.
Locations previously off limits because of the day camp have also returned to normal.
With Ren Faire starting the week after the event, we will once again need a crew to assist with moving things around the site. This will be rewarded with extra build/service as well as camp clean up.
With Ren faire next week, Goose and Marybeth will be hard at work with prep for that, so there will be no food service this month.
For this event, we are trying something new - CVC Decompression Zones, where you can remain in-game but take a breather from aggressive CVC roleplay. If you happen to see someone there that you want to fight (verbally or physically), please do them the courtesy of avoiding them until they leave that immediate area. Remaining in these areas to avoid consequences (versus to take some time to chill without fully going OOG) is bad sportsmanship and if abused will be punished. These two areas will be the smoker’s porch and the back porch of the kitchen. We’ll temperature check how this goes to see if we want to instate something like this (whether these areas or others) long-term. (As always, you can step out of game in OOG zones like the kitchen/drink room, bathrooms, parking lot, leave camp or sit quietly in white headband in your sleeping area if you need to decompress OOG. Starbucks is also an OOG decomp zone, especially if you bring Alice back a PSL.)
Check in Friday begins at 6pm.
Friday Lay on is at 10pm.
Lay off is Sunday at 2pm.
To help us get cleaned up after game is over in a timely manner, if you are staying either upstairs of the Inn or in the AG, your belongings must be fully packed up by noon Sunday. This doesn’t mean your things need to be removed from the space, but they should be packed and ready to go!
Please continue to respect the shiny new Inn floor.
Parking at Logistics
At this time, the only people authorized to park in the area behind or next to logistics are with direct permission from the Director, or the Officers, Safety Lead, Weekend Event Runner, and Exalted Team. Anyone else cannot leave their cars parked in that area.
Please do not park in front of the door/garage door to the area under the barn, or you will be parked in.
Early Camp Cleanup
If you are leaving early (before lay off) and need cleanup assignments, please see the Logistics Marshals. They will be able to assign you tasks to complete. Please do not see them for early cleanup if you will still be on camp at lay-off on Sunday at 2pm, and instead come to lay-off to get your assignment.
Community Announcements
New player Training will be held at 7:30 PM Friday night under the white tent outside the Inn. First event players are required to attend. Should you miss this scheduled training, please find a community manager to give you your own. Saturdays around 10:30am are usually best for make-ups. Your character card needs to be signed off to prove you attended. Important safety tools for the game are gone over at this time. Should you want a more in depth training about certain mechanics like combat, death, crafting, etc., you are welcome to stay longer. The mandatory part of training should only be 20 or so minutes. We ask all other players to please stay clear of new player training as multiple people makes for more distractions and will cause training to go longer.
Reminder that if you are engaging in CvC to please utilize the "Ok check-in system!" Safety tools are for anyone and everyone. Even if you think the other person is okay, it doesn't hurt to just flash the sign.
There will be a new player tour mod at 11am Saturday. This mod is optional but encouraged. There will be combat spec'd to your level, loot, and an in game tour of the proper. This is also a good way to get more comfortable with fighting/combat in general. Ask questions if you have them!
Below are helpful links for new and old players alike!
Safety Announcements
It is going to get quite chilly this weekend at night, please pack and dress accordingly. Remember it’s possible to get hypothermia sub 50 degrees, especially if you’re sweating and improperly dressed. It may get below these temps.
Despite the forecasted cooler weather players should be doing their best to keep fed and hydrated, not doing so increases bad health outcomes across the board.
Safety will continue to monitor for improper fighting and aggressive strikes, remember to do your best and pull your swings especially with the colder temps.
The on call list will be posted on the marshal discord and logistics.
Atmosphere Announcements
Crystal (plays Kestrel), one of our stage combat trained players, will be teaching a workshop on roleplaying injuries. Look for her by the inn/market tent at 9pm on Friday.
Reminders from the Atmosphere Team this month!
Please stay in character. If for some reason you need to go out of game, please do so away from other players as to not impact their immersion and gameplay. Please do not interrupt a scene for an OOG comment unless it is absolutely necessary.
Roleplay your combat and sell your blows. It makes combat more fun for everyone
Please do not openly use your phone. We get that there are times when you may need to check the time or check a rule, but please try to do these checks with your phone under a table or away from other players.
Please be mindful of your trash and OOG food containers. If they are left out, they will be thrown out/moved to the drink area of the kitchen.
Exalted Announcements
Players may not longer utilize skills to unlearn Exalted Opening and Legendary passive skills, and must reach out to the Exalted Team before attempting to unlearn one of these skills as additional steps may need to be taken first.
Unlearning an Exalted class now carries a cumulative 6 month timer before you may learn a new class. IE if you unlearn an Exalted Class for the second time, you may not learn a new one in it's place for 12 months.
These details can be found in the General Exalted Mechanics.
Descriptions, achievements, and other mentions to the Weave, the Crucible, and Visigalis will be updated in the coming months alongside the story being run about these topics. If you have any questions about how the changes effect your class roleplay, feel free to reach out to the Exalted Team after the event.
Photography Announcements
Eve will be doing player portraits starting at 9:30 pm until opening announcements! Find them at the Dragon's Claw Inn.
If you have any limitation on your photo being taken, please let the photographers know! We ask that you reach out to a photographer at game (ideally when the photographer is OOG/taking photos) so we can get to know you and discuss your limits (eg. no photos at all, only when a certain character, etc.). You can also reach out to us through this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc1oem4Ok2pLGxrpPx0UPDCuHtbKR-ZOBcZNryK4d6R4sw_5A/viewform?usp=dialog
