    New Logistics Procedures

    I recommend that the specific time at which skills roll over coincide with the end of the Logistics Hour, both so that there are fewer times for players to remember, and so that nobody has to start using their next day character card before they get it corrected.

    Favorite moments November 2012

    I think my favorite quote this event was from Alavatar regarding the advisability of walking into an unknown circle: "No, you don't understand: I have a theory."

    Undeliverable Emails

    It seems that spamcop.net has blacklisted your email server because somebody was using it to send spam to their honeypots. (At least, that's what it says at http://www.spamcop.net/w3m?action=blcheck&ip=199.204.248.105). Is this from your larper.com email? If so, Bryan might have some more...

    Newbie needs help

    If you're champing at the bit to try out Alliance, the Seattle chapter is having an event the weekend of 11/9-11/11. The site is actually closer to you than the OR site in February. As Matt suggested, you could NPC your first game, which is free, and if you let plot@alliance-seattle.com know...

    Newbie needs help

    The reason you might not want to post your email address is if you're afraid of spider bots adding it to their spam lists. Personally, there are a number of places my email addresses are available in machine-readable format on the Internet, because if I change my behavior, then the terrorists...

    Oct. Event Favorites!

    We had to walk back! I also like how Grimvold hooked that. "Are you guys missing a dark elf?"

    Oct. Event Favorites!

    The new high orcs. I was touched when I came back Friday night to find out that they were about to go out and try to rescue me! Also, "We will keep hitting you until it works!" Kiah and the surrounding intrigue. I was mostly on the outside looking in for that stuff, but it's the choices to...

    NPC Food?

    So... just sunlight and some nitrogen-rich soil, then?

    Thrown Weapon Disarm Shenanigans

    "If CHEESE" is never a simple check, in my mind, because you're reading intent, and in general, we're all just trying to follow the rules and play the game. One might interpret the RAW to require that check for intent, but to me: "Nor can you avoid it by dropping the weapon to the ground or...

    Thrown Weapon Disarm Shenanigans

    Ron: You're right. In combat, you don't think words. In fact, with most decisions, you decide, and then later figure out why you decided that way, rather than the other way around. I've seen it happen that a guy threw aside his shield to avoid it getting shattered. He wasn't thinking words...

    Thrown Weapon Disarm Shenanigans

    I fear my only reference is a remembered field ruling (ie "that's the way we've always done it"), followed by my own interpretation of this passage: Tone issues aside, this passage tells you what doesn't happen in a specific instance, but not why from a rules mechanic perspective. Given that I...

    Thrown Weapon Disarm Shenanigans

    If I recall correctly, it is a local ruling that the item is still in the target's possession for the purposes of shatter and disarm until the item comes to rest, so here's my order of events: Disarm leaves Mage's hand. Whatever happens to the mage now doesn't affect that he's thrown a Disarm...

    Loot Party

    Hey all, We're going to have another loot party on Wednesday, 10/10 at Brian and Cassandra Johnson's place, starting at 7:00. Come out, hang out with cool peeps, and help with cutting tags and organizing things, for which you will get gobbies. It's basically a good time all around. Address...

    Website!

    For some reason, I keep picturing something involving a lot of zooming in and out and rotating for Ron's intro video. I'll discuss with Matt about what we can do with PayPal linkiness. I've used their API before on a previous project, so we could potentially whip something up.

    Shoe recommendations

    Thanks for the recommendations, guys. If I can get to Portland in the next few weeks, I'll check out some of those places. As for the secondhand offers: Bill - You've seen how I play Virid. I'm afraid I'd destroy my foot and/or ankle in moccasins Evan - I'd like something that looks more...

    Shoe recommendations

    I'm about a US 10 for shoe size, so I'm betting those 11s would feel too big on me. I'll in general prefer less expensive, but $200 would not be completely out of the question if it seems like they'd be worth it (comfortable, functional, and likely to last a long time). I'll keep SCA Boots in...

    Shoe recommendations

    I'm looking to replace my footwear for my PC, and this time with a little more foresight than running around to all the Paylesses and Goodwills in the area the day before. These are in-game shoes, so should look relatively period, but I do a lot of running around in the woods and changing...

    Alliance LARP: The Quest for Stuff

    A slightly sideways question, then: Do you think there's something in the game that could change to both satisfy some peoples' desire to Quest for Stuff, but still allow you to feel effective while fighting the Bad Guys, without engaging in the hated activity yourself?
