    Alliance LARP: The Quest for Stuff

    Remember that in this particular thread we're not talking about the hardships of low level characters. We're talking about a 19th level fighter that misses out on large segments of the game because the character didn't do enough stuff questing. A 19th level scholar doesn't have that problem...

    Something That Sucks. How do we make it not suck?

    Give every PC a fan club - NPCs who love them for having saved them from goblins or zombies or whatever. Since high level guys already feel pretty cool, concentrate your efforts on low level guys. I've seen lots of mods go out where low level guys saved the farm from giant rats or whatever. But...

    Alliance LARP: The Quest for Stuff

    I think the elemental blade / magic blade / earth blade 10 minute spell helped here but I certainly agree that playing a high level fighter without a magic weapon can be frustrating. If we got rid of 'magic to hit' and immune to normal and silver weapons' and changed it to takes reduced damage...

    Best Class level 10-20 and leading beyond

    When I see the question - best class for leveling, I can't help think WoW and finding groups and solo questing and stuff. In Alliance, I'd say fighter. You already saw from the posts on this thread, fighters have no trouble finding groups. Fighters are also potent on their own. If you're in a...

    Profession: Money Lender - Is it possible?

    Ah one more thing. The closest character concept I cam up with was going to be a MWE fighter. Fighters got the most body and class was good for not much else if you're buying all craftsmen. Although I was actually going to go sword and board. You might be a non-combat character but you never...

    Profession: Money Lender - Is it possible?

    To reduce the risk of characters not coming back to play, you might consider the pawn shop route: But this sort of character would likely often be called on by new players - the ones you most want to help from an OOG perspective:

    Controlled Spirit Store for Earth Scholars - is it worth it?

    Re: Controlled Spirit Store for Earth Scholars - is it worth As others have said, if you're going with a preserve, sounds like CSS is the winning choice. If you're going with a permanence, then not so easy. CSS has a few things going for it - less demand than regen so cheaper. And the...

    How much change is too much change?

    That's true too. I kinda forgot I used to play with log-like weapons and I had a heavy wooden shield. I used to have the old stylemaster skill so I could switch from sword and board to bow and sword to spear and sword and so on. It was kind of fun switching around (and sure you could still do...

    How much change is too much change?

    Great question. For me a few changes have made me think 'wow this game (or at least part of it) is really different than the one I knew before'. Some changes I like and some I'd like to see undone but even though I think some changes were bad, I never thought any of them were 'too much' 1...

    Thoughts on my first PC build?

    If you're going templar, then you're doing it to buy profs so your archery is useful at higher levels. However you'll be making your celestial magic much less useful at higher levels because you have to spend a fair bit of build on profs - even 2 profs (so your archery does 6 damage) will be 36...

    Thank You

    Glad to hear the event went so well for all involved. The publicity committee would love some pictures of the event, for now to share on the Facebook page. Anyone have any leads on pictures?

    having the right gear

    If you want armor points then usually you have to pay. Though when I came in game I had 'hide' armor made from my parents old carpet they were throwing out. I got 10 or 12 armor points if I remember correctly. It depended on whether or not I wore the helmet, a Burger King giveaway thing that I...

    Spells and Levels

    To me this is a scaling thing. With full heals we might see fewer bad guys with 500+ body. But the full heals that take a while are pretty nifty too. I would prefer they required the recipient to sit and do nothing but let's not punish the caster. As for spells that I'd replace? Well with a...

    A Few Questions

    Welcome! Great question. Some in game cultures encourage certain styles of clothing but I think in many cases it's up to the player and Asian style is fine. Not sure what Asian undergarments are like or how much you'd be showing them off though. I personally have some old fashioned Korean...

    Vampire: the Requiem chat game

    I've never done a MUD but it sounds like it might be similar. And there's nothing next-gen about this. The most hi-tech thing we have is an online dice roller. It's very simple in terms of interface but with 20 or so active vampire PCs and then a good number of very well done NPCs the plotting...
