Announcements

After some long talks we are deciding to move the Virtual Event to next weekend Saturday, October 3.

Multiple issues lead us to this decision, however we feel you, the players, will get a much more enjoyable and quality event in the long term. We apologize for the short notice of this and hope we have your understanding in the situation. Anyone that will be unable to make the VE event in Oct. that has already paid for the event we will of course work out whatever option works best for you in terms of refund, XP compensation, or  transfer to future event.

We had a blast at the Virtual Event and hope you all did as well. Our next Social Distance Q&A and Fire-side Xadune story-time is coming up in a couple weeks, we hope to hear from you all then as well! Surveys were also sent out today; if you have any questions do not hesitate to ask and thank you all for your help!

We all miss you all dearly! Please stay safe and sane!

The July 2020 Virtual Event is only days away, and I’m sure you’re wondering how we are going to turn a LARP into an online tabletop. Worry not! We have a rules document below!

We will be using a simplified, modified D20 system. Combat is possible with this system, although much like in a normal physical event, not every mod will have combat.

Update: It seems we forgot about movement speed! All characters will have a movement speed of 30ft/round. Monsters may have a modified movement speed to fit the creature, for example, a slow zombie might only move 15ft/round.

The Broken Rabbit Inn

The Discord server will be set up with several voice channels. One will be the Broken Rabbit Inn, where in-between-mod roleplay can happen. If you don’t quite feel like being in mods for the entire event, feel free to stop by the Tavern, grab some water, and relax a bit. Just… don’t fall asleep.

Mods and Sign Ups

Mods will be pre-hooked in the Broken Rabbit Inn Forum RP . A Sign-Up link will be sent to Annual Pass Holders and Pre-Registered players prior to Saturday. Please keep in mind, when signing up for mods, that you can only be in one place at a time; don’t sign up for multiple mods in the same time slot. Additionally, if you see a mod with fewer players signed up, it is courteous to spread the players across multiple mods.

If you are unable to attend the entire event, and need to drop in and out – worry not! You can sign up for mods in time slots which you are available for.

XP, Loot, and Used Items

Firstly, everyone gets 2XP for playing in this event! (Except Annual Pass holders, you all get 3XP as normal). You have the option to earn Donation XP as per the usual rules.

Mods may give XP or item rewards. In the case of XP rewards, this will be tallied as RP XP, and will go on your card after the event. If you happen to earn/find/loot items, the tags for these items will be given to you at Check-In at the next physical event.

Should you use items, such as bullets, spell components, healing supplies, etc., the tags for these must be turned in at Check-In at the next physical event. Failure to do so will be considered cheating.

Tag expiration: All tag expiration dates will be extended by the number of days we have not had an event; meaning, from what should have been the March event until this event (113 days) (man, that’s a lot of days…). So if you had anything expire over the break, worry not!

Plot Finale

You might have noticed the Thought-Stealing Image, but if you haven’t: this virtual event will be Plot Season 10’s Finale Event. Don’t miss out on the epic ending to a plotline years in the making.

If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or anything regarding this event, please feel free to reach out to the Cards account on the Xadune Forums. This is new to us as well, and we ask for your patience as we figure this out together.

The Xadune Staff, Storyteam, and Plot want to thank all of you for being amazing during this tumultuous time.

Once again, it comes as no surprise that we are cancelling the physical July 2020 Xadune event at Camp Daniel Morgan due to COVID-19 concerns.

However, we will be hosting an online role-play event via Discord on July 11th, 2020!

This event will (tentatively) run from 1 pm – 8 pm EST. Regular admission is $20 for pre-registration, $25 at the ‘door’ (day of), and includes Mods and Loot. RP-Only admission is only $5, and grants you access to the Broken Rabbit Inn role-play voice chat.

This event is open to both current players and new players – even if you have never played a physical Xadune event!

Pre-registered players will be able to sign up for Mods when Mod registration opens. This lets you pick which Mods you’d like to go on, during the times are you are available.

More information will be posted closer to the event!

We are looking into options for the next physical Xadune event, and we want your feedback!

Firstly, we want to know how you feel about having the event in July. If you are for it, or against it, or on the fence – let us know! The below form is anonymous, so feel free to speak your mind.

Secondly, we want to crowd source your ideas on keeping everyone safe. If you have ideas, comments, concerns, or thoughts, please feel free to submit them below as well.

[This form is no longer active]

Our current list of precautions we will be taking are as such:

1. The recent Executive Order states all overnight camps must have all attendees and staff tested for Coronavirus within 12 days of the start date of camp.  You can find a nearby testing location in Georgia here: https://dph.georgia.gov/locations/covid-19-testing-site
2. Masks will be required at all times, outside of your cabins.  There may be a section of the docks set up to allow the removal of masks and maintain social distancing. Basic cotton masks will be provided, and players are welcome to bring their own – and work them into their costume!
3. Soap and towels will be provided in the bathrooms.  Please wash your hands at least hourly.  You may be asked to wash your hands or sanitize prior to mods or after mods.
4. Cabins will be limited to 4-6 players.  Please pick a cabin with people you cohabitate with, or have carpooled with.
5. Players not assigned to a cabin should not enter other cabins.  Cabin raids will not happen this event, and no players will be allowed to initiate a cabin raid.
6. Boffers will be disinfected after every mod.  Tabards will not be used this event, to limit cross-contamination. 
7. Common surfaces will be cleaned regularly, including doorknobs in tavern, bathrooms, and mod buildings. Tavern tables will have washable tablecloths to make sanitizing easier.
8. Tavern workers will be required to wear masks at all times. 
9. Players will be encouraged to bring water bottles.  Cups will be provided, but to limit possible contamination, water bottles may be a better option.

If you have any ideas, resources to view, concerns, or anything – please feel free to let us know.

Learning Between Events

If you attended any event between December 2019 and February 2020, or paid for any events from December 2019 through the next played Xadune event, you will have your learn times extended from the end of the February 2020 event through the beginning of next played Xadune event. Should this next event be July, it would be February through July, or 4 months and 23 days of learn time.

Man, its been a long time. We miss you all.

Additionally, each PC is allowed to begin learning 1 new skill per event missed (3 if the next event is in July). That said, these Skills must be paid for in both XP and Unit Costs. XP will be deducted off your Free XP as appropriate, and all Unit Costs must be paid at Check-In of the Next Played Event.

To begin learning a Skill, please send a PM to the Cards account with the title: “Skills for [Insert Character Name]”. Unit Costs, where appropriate, will be quoted to you.

So what Skills can you learn? It must be a reasonable Skill for your character to have access to a teacher for. Phin may not have the in-play connections to learn, say, Spirit Lore. This is at Staff’s discretion. The best way to ensure the Skill you are learning gets approved is to describe how you intend to find a teacher for this Skill. For example, Honor might put in her message that Phin goes to the Temple of Armadel and asks to learn Spirit Lore. The Temple of Armadel may quote her a number of Units to learn from the resident Priests, and Honor must then decide if the price is worth it.

Skills learned this way will be taught by a teacher, and XP/Learn Slots will be calculated as such. However, if you would like to Self-Teach a Skill, please indicate this in your PM. Obviously, Self-Taught Skills have no Unit Cost associated with them. Only Skills which are listed as Self-Taught will be able to be Self-Taught. If you have questions regarding the XP increase for Self-Teaching, please feel free to ask.

Unless you are an Annual Pass holder, and therefor gain Units every event, there is no way to gain extra Units in between our played events. So please keep this in mind and check your in-play wallets before signing up for Planar Lore: Twilight from a Ward 1 Adventurer when all you have a crumpled 15u in the bottom of your pouch. Failing to pay the Unit Cost at Check-In at the next played event will result in the Skill being completely removed from your Card, and all Learn Time forfeited.

Thank you, and we look forward to seeing you all soon!

Xadune is hosting a Storytime and Q&A session for current and new players on June 6th via Discord!

Join us for an online discussion on the rich, detailed world of Xadune. Learn about history, new and old, in the world of Xadune, and have your questions answered!

(we retain the right to FOIP – tell you to Find Out In Play – things which are not common knowledge).

You must register below with a Discord username to be added to the session. You must register prior to 12 pm on June 6th. Only current players and new players who have joined the Xadune Forums will be approved, to reduce the possibility of Spam accounts.

Hello Adventurers!

We are saddened to announce that the April 2020 Xadune has been cancelled due to coronavirus concerns. At this time, we are in a state of flux; the May 2020 event – should the threat of coronavirus be lifted – will be the Season 10 Plot Finale.  However, we are watching the situation carefully and will make an announcement closer to the event.

If you have pre-paid for the April event, there are 3 options:

1) You can receive the normal XP from the event, as if it were played plus one additional RP/Combat XP

2) Your pre-payment can be forwarded and applied to the April event

3) Can you receive a refund

Season Pass Holders will receive XP for the event as if the event were played plus an additional 1xp for the inconvenience, and will receive the in-play benefits of Units and Healing Supplies at the April event, in addition to the April event’s share.

Learn times will be continuing through to May.  If you have an active learn time, it will not pause on March 20th, but instead continue to May. If a player had a learn time complete in this time and the player wished to start a new skill or ability learn, please contact Staff to work out something on this one time occasion. We will make a one-time exception to allow the learning of one skill or ability due to this inconvenience. Normal learn times and cost will still be incurred, but we do not want to slow character progression.

Additionally, playing in the May 24-26 event will earn each player a base of 4.5XP, rather than the normal 3XP, with a potential maximum XP of 10.5XP.

However, we do have several upcoming digital events and content to fill the void! A full schedule will be posted later this week, but events include: Online Dungeons and Dragons games set in the Xadune Campaign setting; continued roleplay on the Xadune Forums, and Video/Voice Chat workshops.

We thank everyone for being flexible during these uncertain times.  Please keep washing your hands, stay home when at all possible, and stay healthy!

It is with deepest concern for our players that we announce the Xadune March 3-Day Event is cancelled due to the COVID-19 outbreak.  The Plot Season 10 Finale will be moved to the April 24-26 event.

Xadune is like a family to us. At this time, there are 42 confirmed cases in Georgia, and there are possibly many more untested and unconfirmed cases.  We are not willing to risk the health of our players or game runners by asking everyone to travel across the state – or across the country.  

If you have pre-paid for the event, there are 3 options:
1) You can receive the normal XP from the event, as if it were played plus one additional RP/Combat XP
2) Your pre-payment can be forwarded and applied to the April event
3) Can you receive a refund

Season Pass Holders will receive XP for the event as if the event were played plus an additional 1xp for the inconvenience, and will receive the in-play benefits of Units and Healing Supplies at the April event, in addition to the April event’s share.

Learn times will be continuing through to April.  If you have an active learn time, it will not pause on March 20th, but instead continue to April. If a player had a learn time complete in this time and the player wished to start a new skill or ability learn, please contact Staff to work out something on this one time occasion. We will make a one time exception to allow the learning of one skill or ability due to this inconvenience. Normal learn times and cost will still be incurred, but we do not want to slow character progression.

Additionally, playing in the April 24-26 event will earn each player a base of 4.5XP, rather than the normal 3XP, with a potential maximum XP of 10.5XP.

Thank you all for understanding. We hope everyone stays healthy and happy.  Keep washing your hands, and we will see you in April!
