Schedule: Day Camp is using the campground during the week. Therefore earliest arrival is 5:30pm and nobody will be allowed on premises until 5:30pm on Friday. This is not negotiable. James, Steve, or an Officer will wave players onto camp from the barn entrance and post an announcement on Discord and Facebook when you are allowed on camp. Check in begins at 6pm. Lay on is at 10pm. Lay off is Sunday at 2pm. *** Mandatory New Player Training will be held at 7:30 pm Friday under the white tent outside of the Inn. If you are bringing a friend for the first time, you are welcome to quietly sit it. We ask everyone else please move along from the area till after training is done. New Player training will be approxamately 20 minutes long as we cover important safey aspect of the game. You are welcome to stay longer should you wish to delve into key mechanics and a brief combat demo to help you get accustomed to the game as a whole. There will be a new player tour mod at 11am Saturday for players with One list, not just first event players this time around. ~Meet at the Inn at 10:45 and someone will collect you.~  Parking at Logistics At this time, the only people authorized to park in the area behind or next to logistics are with direct permission from the Director, or the Officers, Safety Lead, Weekend Event Runner, and Exalted Team. Anyone else cannot  leave their cars parked in that area. Please do not park in front of the door/garage door to the area under the barn, or you will be parked in. Early Camp Cleanup If you are leaving early (before lay off) and need cleanup assignments, please see the Logistics Marshals. They will be able to assign you tasks to complete. Please do not see them for early cleanup if you will still be on camp at lay-off on Sunday at 2pm, and instead come to lay-off to get your assignment. Rules Announcements and Updates Updates: The Physician skill Reanimation is being updated to only work on another target. This may seem intuitive, but certain Exalted abilities require this clarification. Players may start seeing a Light Blue Clothespin on certain characters where they might expect to see a black or red clothespins. These are unique to specific In Game guilds, and will NOT be honored if attempted to be turned in to Logistics. Please do not attempt to use Sleight of Hand to attain these without forewarning from said guild. In an effort to make Ceremonialist less daunting both to teach, and to learn, Quests have been changed to be run in one of 3 categories. A single Quest may grant you access to several rituals at once, similar to as was done with Sorcerer. Some quests have also been reduced to achievements within Ceremonialist.  The Exalted Class Fence has had its Legendary Passive updated for clarity.  The opening description of Stormblade has been updated in order to no longer imply a religious connection that wasn’t intended. Reminders: Players are reminded that if any artifacts combined at the Artifact Forge have two or more abilities that are not: 2 or fewer Periodic Base or Master class skills, 2 of fewer Passive Base or Master class skills (including Paragons), or a single passive ability that solely modifies a Base or Master class skill, the resulting Artifact must be submitted for approval by Rules Design. Artifacts such as these without the signature of Rules Design are invalid. The skill Hidden Pocket may only be used to hide an object no larger than 24 inches in any dimension, and lasts for a duration of up to 5 minutes. This may not be used in reaction to another skill or interaction, and must be called for the character to benefit from its effects. Players are reminded that it takes 5 seconds to use a Consumable. If you are using a Latent Defense from a Consumable, you must have used it in that same Period. You can only benefit from a Latent Defense in this way once per unique Consumable at a time. The only exception to this is those with Consumable Talents that say they may activate the skill as a Defense by spending a Talent Slot instead of using an item. Online Announcement During this event only, if you have read all of the announcements, you may use one (or one additional) use of the periodic skill Throw  as a thank you for actually reading the announcements and keeping updated on important information! Please refrain from sharing this on the Discord or other places online so that folks can discover this surprise for themselves! Lore Announcement A Pre-emptive warning for those waiting to submit for Unique Species or Restricted Races! The form will open shortly after the August event and will have an extended open period to the beginning of November. Any details on species / races that are currently at cap for this round will be made available when the form formally opens! So get your write ups ready! Safety Announcement Rain is on the forecast for this weekend so be sure to pack and plan accordingly. Temperatures will still be in the mid 80’s during the day so be sure to hydrate and keep cool. Cases of water will be available in the Inn and Logistics. Please be sure to follow all atmospheric requirements when using them and ensure you dispose of your trash properly.  Friendly reminder, players need to ensure they are having their cards signed and noted by a Safety Team member when using  a green headband as well as when you intend to stop using them so the note can be removed. This is to ensure we have a baseline awareness of who should and shouldn’t be using them. They are not something to be used for one’s convenience in the moment and are solely for players who cannot participate in normal physical combat. The on call list will be posted in logistics and threaded in the KR Discord for all Marshals. Card Announcements Card Team Announcements Please ensure you have noted and read the updates to how Self Teaches work. Find the document here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/17mIzou8_RDKE8yNTCU2n7blv4IF4ZkHgwfyrCzE3oyY/edit?usp=sharing As always, Card Team will be available in the Bar room from 6p-9p Friday (during check-in) to help new players with their cards. Please be respectful of our team and do not ask them for help before hours have started. If you are a regularly attending player, please try to resolve any card issues before arriving at camp (contact us on Discord) so we can focus on helping new players! REMINDER: The ritual Soul Rewrite can only be used once per year (once per 12 months). This applies whether you chose the option that gives you a scar or not. If you received this ritual and the date is not noted on your character card, please shoot Mara a message via Discord. Write legibly on your card, with a dark colored pen (please no pencil!! And no neon colored pens!). If Card Team cannot read what you wrote, it will not get added to your card. If someone else signs off your card make sure they wrote the skill legibly!! We recommend taking photos of your card before turning them in! Card team does their best, but we are only human(...ish). Photos are great for both you and us if we need to correct any mistakes. Read your card notes! Logistics Announcements If you have general logistics donations please feel free to bring them to logistics for compensation at any time. (Please just not while the check in line is super long.) Please bring all event items, ask for by Jenn, to them directly for compensation and hand-off. Atmosphere Announcements There will be a workshop on “Channeled Casting” Friday night at 9pm under the Market Tent. Look for Crystal! Reminders from the Atmosphere Team this month! -Stay in character. If for some reason you need to go out of game, please do so away from other players as to not impact their immersion and gameplay. Please do not interrupt a scene for an OOG comment unless it is absolutely necessary.  -Roleplay your combat and sell your blows. It makes combat more fun for everyone Please do not openly use your phone. We get that there are times when you may need to check the time or check a rule, but please try to do these checks with your phone under a table or away from other players. We have noticed a severe uptick in this with the new exalted rules. Please be mindful of your trash .

Prologue Within the endless void, the space between the Inner Planes, a storm roils. It twists and continues to build, forming into an impossibly tall stormwall. As it rages on, waves of energy push outwards on the barriers of the planes themselves. The sheer force of the energy from the storm is enough to cause the barrier walls to shake violently, which causes them to tear and allow the storm to spill through. When the barriers between two planes form tears that are themselves linked by the storm itself, it becomes a conduit for the elemental energy to move from one plane to the other, forcefully dragging everything close to the rifts through from the elemental planes to the Material Plane. Along the back of a great leviathan of the seas; two icy, watery figures walk excitedly with arms full of various bottles made of ice. As they walk, there is a sudden and violent shaking as a rift opens up next to them. They both look incredibly shocked but not unhappy as they are pulled into the rift and disappear.  There is a thundering crash as two small mountains crash into one another. Those mountains chuckle, full of excitement about what is to come. There is an impatience to them, as they wait in the place that they had been told about. In the distance, there is a loud crashing of rock and stone vibrating through the ground as a planar rift tears itself open. When they see it, they begin to run, racing to be the first through.  Striding through the dense clouds, there is a knowing glint in the eyes of a woman made of whirling wind and crackling lightning. Another figure walks up behind her, full of nervous excitement. They watch together as the winds pick up and lightning strikes, while a rift begins to open. Without breaking her stride, she walks through. With a sideways glance to ensure they aren’t being followed, the other figure walks in after her.  Beside a sea of lava, two fiery women are sparring, enjoying the heat radiating off the lava as they fight. They turn curiously as there is a loud explosion, sucking in part of the sea of lava to reveal a large rift. The two share a knowing glance, sheath their weapons, and go rushing in. Deep in the woods surrounding Travance, there is a shuddering as all of the trees are pulled towards a central point and then blown back wildly as a planar rift opens. There is a loud cacophony, the sound of rocks smashing into each other endlessly, as a heavy earthen foot steps out.

Drinking policies are posted on our website under Policies. Please refresh yourself on these if you plan to drink. Only those of the legal age may consume.

Cards, Skills, and Patreon: Week in the Life counts as two separate events for purposes of payment. A tier 3+ Patreon subscription will cover ONE of these events--the player must pay for the other event, including alts, as normal. As per our website documentation, the weekday portion of the event is ten build. This does not change if the player is a Patreon subscriber. The weekend portion of the event follows standard KR event rules, and is 8 build (or 10/15 if Patreon). Week in the Life counts as two events for purposes of learning skills and prerequisites. That means, for example, if a player opens a list during the weekday, they may learn skills from it during the weekend portion. Be sure to mark on your card what section of the event a skill was learned. Exalted Announcements As stated, some lessons may occur during the week portion of Week in the Life. If you are scheduled for a lesson then you are expected to show up to your lesson sober. Thank you Safety Announcements There will be a number of Safety Marshals present during the week portion of WiTL, there will not be a dedicated on-call marshal, however, contact info will be available at Logistics and pinned on the Marshal Discord for emergencies. Reminder players are expected to have life saving medication (rescue inhaler, epi-pen, etc.) on their person or on camp, but ideally on their person. Campfires should only be had in designated fire pits, players may also use standalone campfires, stoves, and cooking appliances but are expected to use them properly and responsibly. If there is a burn ban in effect, we will advise if there are any restrictions at the time. If you are traveling alone to deeper parts of the camp make sure you let someone know and bring a phone. Be sure to keep hydrated especially if you're drinking and use bug spray as ticks are now in full swing. People are expected to be responsible when consuming alcohol during the week portion of the event, Safety Marshals are not babysitters, if a player becomes inebriated to the point requiring our intervention there will be consequences. Be mindful of yourself and keep an eye on each other. We will resume normal team operations for the weekend portion of the event, all contact info can be found in the places listed before. Logistics Announcements During the week portion there will be a few Logistics shifts that will handle Bank based transactions. The LM's will be in the inn like either in the side room or at the Scholars table. They will be in character but please feel free to approach them with your needs! Check in will be handled by James.
