Greetings New Acarthians. This note is for those familiar with the attack on the Duchess at the last gather. If you have a personal investment in finding and stopping the foursome known as the White Rooks, or if you have been personally affected by the "heartless muders", please get in touch...

The problems with Staff in 2.0, as I see them: No stabbing Must use both hands Marked 3-foot section in the middle where you must keep your hands #1 is silly. The ends of staves are typically the same construction as the ends of swords. If some swords are stab-legal, then some staves can be...

Sure! Modify the Polearm skill to include using a staff however you want! Great solution.

In Denver we have consistent running jokes about how terrible the Alliance version of staff is as a weapon. If the goal of the rule is to force staff to be a poor choice (worse than single shortsword, we argue), then cut the BS explanations and make that clear. Then again, the fix seems...

Ritual with Darius (Racial Transformation). Mac used Tarot cards as part of the ritual, and they did a great job of matching our expectations. Major Arcana cards kept popping out. A few of them... Cryn's "foundation": "The Hanged Man" Whoa... yeah. Calidan died so I could be here. Cryn's "past"...

Whatever the official ruling is about long/short bow/sword combos, can it be clarified explicitly in the 2.0 rulebook, please?

Page 85: "Crossbows are made of closed cell foam only—no PVC core is allowed." I'm sure the intent is that any solid core is not allowed, not just PVC. Change PVC to "solid, non-foam", perhaps?

Change to legalit of hitting hands? The old rules said that "hands from the wrist out" were not legal targets. This meant that a hit on the knuckles with a sword did not count. The new rules say that "empty hands from the wrist out" are not legal targets. This would completely change the way a...

I'm thoroughly in favor of this change. Forced box-checking, especially with arbitrary terms like "10 minutes" is a way that a rules system can point players toward a mechanical view of the game, rather than a more free-flowing roleplay environment. I would much rather that the rules displayed...

Random smattering of memories... (wow, this got long). Who knew Sandro would be such a great "shady uncle" for Lyari? You're wonderful, Nick! Friday night undead fight... wow that was a deadly fight. Corrupted 4 times. We needed so many Life spells. Came within a minute of rezzing. Lost my...

Hi all, I want to say that I really enjoyed having snacks available like this. Plot (via Emily and Sierra, I believe) made a great contribution on Friday night, and then the other goodies were just there. It was really nice. Thank you for being an awesome community. Jeff

Reading page 173 about different trap types. 3 of them are clear about whether the trap can be re-used after it is triggered: "Weapon traps are not destroyed when set off" "Mechanical traps must be rebuilt after they are set off and cannot be re-armed." Explosive traps: "This trap is destroyed...

Thanks for replying, Jesse!

To The Brothers I wanted to let you know that your presence, enthusiasm, mischevious smiles and excellent games were a wonderful addition to our event. Anytime The Den can come back, I hope you will. ~Cryn Valyric

To the chapter: I'd like to build some support for Jesse to get some monetary relief from Beaver Ranch. Chime in with a "Like" or a comment, as you will. Jesse: We're with you in asking Beaver Ranch to acknowledge that they broke their contract and owe you a price reduction. We'd also like to...

From Lyari Valyric: Hello Baroness Katherine Rivervale, I received your letter and thought it was a wonderful idea to plant some flowers by their village before we leave next week. Thank you for thinking of them. Sincerely, Lyari Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Quick note: Kudos on the Effects Chart (pages 105-106). Really useful!

On page 53, there is a typo in the Mettle descriptipon: Line of Sight effects are negated completely by defending against them this ability. I think you just need to remove the bolded words.

On page 57, in the example for Riposting Blow, the character is named Rendal at first, but changes to Torel in the last sentence.

Suggestion for making the rules easier for new players: On Page 27, when discussing Experience Points: The table will be the part of that page that is most used by players. The table uses the term "Blanket" but that word is only defined in a parenthetical in the middle of a paragraph. Since the...
