    Rebuild from 2.0 to 2.1?

    Will there be a rebuild going from 2.0 to 2.1? I'm about to build a character (which already has a bunch of XP from pre-2.0 times). I'm not interested in 2.0 crafting, but I am interested in 2.1 crafting (assuming that it ends up passing in something roughly similar to its current form). Will I...

    Inscriber's Tome

    Inscriber's Tome states that "the character with Inscription" can use it. Is this saying that only the creator of the Inscriber's Tome can use it? Or that only characters with at least one level of Inscription can use it? Or can anyone use it and this should just say "the user"?

    Some possibly unintended uses of the new crafting rules

    Do the following work the way I describe them, and if so, are they intended? 1. A player with Recycle in a particular crafting skill (e.g. Alchemy) can convert crafting materials between the two types associated with that skill (e.g. Herbs to Leather or vice versa) by converting e.g. Herb ->...

    Made a mistake using the CMA

    I have a level 17 character (Andrew) in the CMA. I have PCed this character during 1.0, but have not PCed the character at all yet after the 2.0 reset. I was rebuilding the character in the CMA, experimenting with different builds. However, I didn't realize that clicking spend build is...

    Getting back in after a long absence

    I used to play Alliance a lot, the last time I played was around 2018 or so, and I'm interested in getting back into it. I think I'm interested in being an NPC my first event so I can get a better understanding of how you run things. I have a few questions for now: - About how many players show...

    Andrew's Planned Return

    Hello once again from the mists. It is I, Andrew the Bard, whom you may remember from long ago, when the lands of Acarthia were first recovering from the War of a Thousand Skirmishes. As a bard, I have traveled throughout the mists in search of stories of adventure. And in all these stories...

    "Clarify" rules: what can bystanders do?

    I am unsure if this is a National rule (is it?) but several chapters I have been in have had a "Clarify" rule where a group of people can be in a "mini-hold" while clarifying an effect that occurred between them, while the rest of the battle still rages on around them. Most of these questions...

    Machine gunning rules: tracked separately per-weapon?

    The rule for machine gunning state that you must hit a new location or wait 2 seconds before hitting the same location again. For a two hand fighter, is this tracked separately per-weapon, or taking all your swings as a whole? To be more specific, let's say I am wielding a left hand weapon and...

    Scholar vs. Archer Damage Comparison

    Considering the current discussion around damage scaling, here is a chart I made to compare the damage output of caster and archer classes (these I thought were the most comparable because they both throw packets). This chart allows you to change assumptions and see how that affects the results...

    Why not add more denominations of currency?

    In discussions on the forums I keep hearing about how the OOG cost of coin physreps can be a significant barrier to plot teams in terms of what treasure they can put out. It seems to me like a simple way to mitigate this problem is to add additional denominations of currency. For instance, if...

    Brainstorming: Low Plot Effort Quests

    Since plot resources are a major limiting factor regarding how much plot can be run, a way to increase the amount of plot run and thus provide more opportunities for players to participate in plot is to come up with mods and scenarios that are interesting but can still be run with minimal effort...

    Real-World Complexity and Plot

    Overview Many players play characters who perform activities such as international negotiation, supply-chain management, scientific research, or running a barony, yet these types of activities are rarely actually played out on stage, and are usually relegated to IBGAs where you often skip...

    Maelstrom Scouting ( Calling Clerk Liren and Any Trackers)

    We are planning on scouting out the area surrounding the new city shortly. I think a googd group for scouting would include me, Clerk Liren, and one tracker. It is my understanding that Liren has the ability to teleport him (or her)self and two of us with his spear. That way we can rub out...

    Question: Downtimes in Enerret and Maelstrom

    I have some questions about how downtimes work for characters who are playing in both the Enerret and Maelstrom campaigns. - Can you do a downtime relating to Maelstrom plot in the downtime before an Enerret event, or vice versa? Or can you only do Maelstrom downtimes before a Maelstrom event...

    Maelstrom: The Resurrection Situation

    I am interested in learning more about our options to increase the rate at which spirits come to our Earth Circle to resurrect. I have heard ideas including making more Earth Circles and I wanted to be clear on the current situation and our options. If I understand correctly, we currently have...
