It seems like your complaints are based more around what works in a story, rather than what is fun to fight. All other things being equal, if a group of peeps walk into a situation that may involve fighting, I try to give them a good fight that they can win. "Good fight" takes into account the...

I think the answer to your quandary is that this is wrong. What Ron said with respect to writing our monsters, but also, when I'm preparing a scaled mod for a group, I take into account things like amount of stuff I believe them to have, OOG skill level, and classes, as well as character...

This is in response to a point several people have made on the Permanent Duration thread, but is not really related to permanent duration. It's about what it means to play a character in a LARP, and what people find fun about it.Here's my background: I've been playing Alliance for as long as it...

Note that you can now view the text of these rituals at http://alliance-seattle.com/rituals.html. A miscommunication lost this link last time, but we should be good now.

The owners voted to have a public, online database of all the rituals. To that end, I went ahead and made such a page myself, with everything exactly as it appears in the ritual database. Due to a miscommunication, this link was removed the last time I posted it, but we should be good now...

There's nothing on the scroll text (which I just learned is now Googlable) to support it not going off if another Vengeance effect going off. There's also nothing explicitly preventing casting more than one. For that reason, I'd say they all have to resolve. I'd probably want to call the sum...

I'm Jimmy Hastings, and I approve this message.

We've recently run into some differences in expectation for how/when players receive goblin stamp compensation for their donations, so we've decided to make this the official policy: As a general rule, for donations made during an event, we will not credit a player goblin stamps until after the...

I don't have to search for it, because Seth linked it to me a while back: http://www.alliancelarp.com/forum/viewt ... t=Preserve

Adventurers have now been in the Valley of Ghosts for almost 9 months, and mysteries still abound. Rumors are now spreading about a whole town of walking, talking ghosts, only 3 days' walk from Tarndale, but none of the Valley's denizens go near it. Investigating this location could be key to...

Updated the initial post with a teaser, reproduced here:

Don't forget! Today is the last day to make downtime submissions for before next event.

Yeah, those emails can take 5-7 days to completely bounce, which made it mighty inconvenient to figure out what the problem was. As Ron said, it doesn't mean we didn't get them, just that it tried to also send the message to non-existent addresses. I fixed the problem Monday, so they should...

Hey guys, We like having our liquid loot stuffed into vials, and our tags cut properly, but I'm not a big fan of doing it all by myself. To that end, Brian and Cassandra Johnson have graciously offered to host a vial-stuffing, tag-cutting party and potluck at their house in Corvallis, OR. The...

A while back, we made a transcription error in a piece of other-language text that ended up being seen by players. If you have the following anywhere in your notes: The last accent is incorrect, and it should look more like this: We apologize for any confusion this may have caused.

[voice of Elder Osmond] I never know when I should be talking to my dreams, but I suppose when they name you specifically, it's best to give an answer. Boulder, I never wanted Rain to die for what happened out at Daybreak. He did, however, do something that Rain himself said in general in the...

Marshals are not among those who can post in announcements. So, it looks like several of your auto-responses are being caught by spam quarantine, but not all of them. On these ones, I don't see a valid "to" address that you're auto-replying to. The only distinguishing feature is the subject line.

Due to the current nature of the password storage mechanism, I highly recommend using a different password for this than your current forum password, or the password for your other online accounts. Jimmy Hastings Alliance Seattle Web Admin (but not in charge of this project)

I'm not terribly photogenic in general, but I could probably arrange to be there at that time in Virid getup.
