All chapters in the Alliance do what they can with what they have, but it takes you, the players and generous people that you are, to provide that special "something extra" that truly separates us from all other LARPs in the world. This thread is here to elicit your donations of time, skill, and other goods so that we can provide you with an amazing in-game experience possible! Please remember to save receipts to ensure we can give you the BEST rate! Below you can find a basic guide to donations and their compensation, though feel free to contact us (donations@alliancecville.com) if you have any questions. (Thank you to SoMN for allowing us use of your donations template)
GENERAL DONATION INFORMATION
SPECIFIC DONATIONS
The items on the following lists are things we are specifically hoping to get some of, with items with numbers in parentheses indicating the number of these items that we would like to receive. If there is a 0, we could still receive them, but there is very low demand for them at the moment. Items highlighted in red are in stronger demand. If you are donating an entire set of a requested item (completely filling the specific need) that we need 5 or more of, we will tack on an additional 50% MORE Goblin Stamps!
WEAPONS
We ask that you do not donate your “super-clunky, badly-made, ugly-looking, not-good-enough-for-your-taste first attempt” weapons. Such weapons may garner you a reduced Goblin Stamp reward from the values listed below. On a similar note, long weapons (longsword length or longer) ideally should be made from Ultralight materials, and those that are not are likely to garner you a reduced Goblin Stamp reward as well.
CLOTHING
PROSTHETICS
MAKEUP
Please only purchase Mehron StarBlend/CreamBlend makeup or Ben Nye Cream makeup
