COVID-19 Concerns and Comments, and Learning Between Events

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.

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!
