It is a mere 4 days out from the February 2023 Event!
While the last event was still stuck in December, this event is back on the normal timeline, and will start in-play on February 10th, AFS 143. Welcome to 143 everyone!
The Weather Outside is Frightful
Friday during the day is going to be a bit rainy, and while it should clear up before we get in play, the ground might still be a bit wet. That said, Saturday night is looking like it will be very cold, and while we will be at Indian Springs with heated cabins, be sure to bring extra layers and extra socks for your time adventuring!
But the Snow Ball is so Delightful
As we are all very much so looking forward to, the Annual Snow Ball will be held Saturday evening, on and around dinner. Bring your fancy duds and prepare to look your best, because the Snow Ball only comes once a year! Entertainment will be provided in-play by our resident Cheva-loving Bard, Dae, and company in the form of the long-awaited Cyrus Larkin: The Butt Puncher, A Musical.
Rules Reminders
On Reskills.
A character gets a Reskill – a full refresh of their Skill Points – once per event. The player must have completed their Volunteer Shift prior to using their Reskill. The character must be out of combat for at least 10 minutes when they Reskill – think of it like taking a break, having a sit-down, and feeling mentally refreshed.
This full refresh is a refresh, not an addition. So if you have spent 13 of your 15 Skill Points, and use your Reskill, you are now at 15 again. Those two unspent Skill Points from the first bucket, if you will, are gone. You cannot combine those two Skill Points with Skill Points from the Reskill bucket. So if you have 2SP left from your 15, and you want to use a 7SP Skill, those 7 SP are taken from the 15SP Reskill Bucket, not 2SP from the first bucket then 5SP from the second bucket. This also applies to Skill Bids. For a lump Skill Bid, you cannot bid more than the listed maximum Skill Points on your character card.
Volunteer Shifts
All shifts are Monster shifts unless otherwise specified. [TAVERN] shifts involve working in the kitchen, serving food, and cleaning dishes. [TAVERN CLEAN-UP] involves cleaning a lot of dishes. Like, a whole lot. [CLEAN-UP] is after the event and involves cleaning up all of site.
To complete Volunteer requirements, one must complete 3 full hours of volunteering, either through 2 of the below shifts or one double shift. Remember, you do not get a Re-Skill until you have completed your volunteer shift, or are signed up for a [CLEAN-UP] shift.
Please do not sign up for overlapping shifts. You will only get credit for shifts you are signed up for and work.
