If you can’t provide this information, you will be assumed to have performed the ritual with your minimum chance of success, and have rolled an exact number to not fail it (which may negatively impact your ability to use Time Stop to perform rituals). If you have the Legendary Passive of any class with rituals, including Sorcerer, all rituals learned in order to qualify for that legendary are a base chance of 80%. The ritual Expel from Lair may not be performed at all in a room larger than 20 x 20 feet, particularly this applies to public spaces including the Main and Bar Room of the Inn, as well as the Main Room of the Adventurer's Guild. The rooms upstairs in the Inn, or Side rooms in the Adventurer’s Guild may benefit from the ritual. Additionally, any space outdoors of 20 x 20 feet may benefit from this.

Personal Abilities Note from Drew Hey everyone, A little while ago I sent out emails to everyone who submitted for a Personal Ability stating if it was approved, denied, or if we needed additional comments from you so please check your emails and reply-all back if needed. Secondly as a reminder if you have a personal ability that is approved you need to follow the RP Guidelines & have considered how your character would accomplish the Achievements associated with those skills. If you need guidance or help please reach out to anyone on Rules Design for assistance. If you are approved for an ability you are able to use it this month even if it's not yet on your card. Mara will try to have cards updated but it is week of the event and there is a chance not every card will be fully noted. Lore Team: If you have purchased a Lineage, Lair or Vanity title from the banquet and not yet submitted this form yet please consider doing so if you know what you want! If you don't you can wait but I look at them on a rolling basis so I will not seek you out to make sure you submit it! https://forms.gle/REMLAZZ8uMzKJFnZ6 Exalted Reminders: We are happy to announce that we have finished the first round of approving players who have legendaries to teach exalted lists! On friday please check your card to see if you are interested in knowing if you can teach. Players with these approvals may teach exalted lists notated in the card note. Some of the notes have exceptions to skills you cannot teach. In most instances these skills require a exalted team member to assist in marshaling. If you have any questions please reach out to an exalted Team Member. We would like to remind everyone that while using the ritual: Selendrial's Transformation that you may only select a non-exalted ability. This includes exalted passive skills. Certain NPCs card may not specify whether or not a passive skill is exalted, which if the passive skill is not present in the Base Rulebook must be approved by Rules Design. Specifically, the passive of Werewolf (Lycan Regeneration) is deemed to be Exalted due to the it's similarity to the Exalted Class of the same name. Any other similar passive abilities, such as Troll Regeneration, should also be treated as Exalted. Players with these rituals may select another non-exalted skill from the monster in question for the remainder of the duration of Selendrial's Transformation. If anyone has questions about this, please PM Tim P. Additionally, please remember that you need to at least partially match the costuming of the creature you are deriving an ability from. Atmosphere Reminders -Roleplay your combat and sell your blows. It makes combat more fun for everyone. -Please stay in character.

Be sure to do your best to keep dry and pack extra socks! Remember atmospheric requirements are secondary to protection from the IRL environment, if you have concerns feel free to reach out to either myself or the Atmosphere Team. If you ever need a Safety Team Member and one is not present, there is always a member on call. Either go to logistics where the on call list is posted and call them on their phone. Or ask any Marshal with access to the Marshal Chat in Discord to check the threaded on call list. Reminder, if you feel someone is having an obvious and serious medical emergency, do not hesitate to call 911 and activate an emergency response. Card Reminders Please read your card notes! This is the primary way for our teams to contact you and tell you important things, so be sure to read them every month. Your character card being approved does NOT mean your backstory has been approved! Lore Team will leave a separate note on your card when they have reviewed and approved your backstory. We encourage you to take photos of your card(s) after an event before turning them in! If there is an issue, it helps both you and us resolve it in a timely manner. Remember that all rituals must be noted on a character card, whether your own or the target's (if you cast a ritual upon another character). Use the lined space on the back of the character card. If you use an invokable ritual, you are responsible for crossing it out or otherwise denoting it as used. Content Reminders Please check the Discord for casting calls. We would love to give NPC roles to new people and have fresh faces. If you're interested in getting into more combat oriented NPC roles, talk to one of the CR Leads and we can brief you on the best way to get more exposure and coordinate with other teams. We love having different people cast across our plots and it gives the world vibrancy when we don't have one person as multiple characters. It is our pleasure to announce that we have officially opened up the New Submissions for Personal Plot six months early! We still have a few people to clear from the backlog, but we have already started to pull people from the New Submissions list and we are excited to run these epic tales for you folks. If you submitted an application for a personal plot, stay tuned! Once we clear most of the submissions from this last round for personal plot, we will re-open the application. We thank you for your patience. Logistics Hey everyone! Just a few friendly reminders from your Logistics team. When you are in line for check-in please remember to be conscious of your volume while inside the actual building. Please continue to talk with your friends and have a good time while you're waiting but also remember that the Logistics marshals checking people in need to be able to communicate effectively with the other players at the desk. Please remember that you walk in the right door, check in with the marshals and go out the makeup room door on the other side (Please do not go back out the entrance). There is an expectation of not only the check-in marshals but the players as well to remain courteous when interacting with one another. I know check-in can be a stressful time but lets all remember that we're all people and deserve the same level of respect and kindness that you should show to anyone in public. We're all here to have fun and enjoy the weekend, lets make sure we start it off right! You may only sign yourself up for NPC shifts. Please do not try and sign up your group of friends. Check-in is first come first serve, please remember you may not get your shift of choice, come with a back up plan just in case your shift is already taken. Thank you so much for working with us as we settle in for this new year and get back to it!

We have noticed a severe uptick in this with the new exalted rules. Please be mindful of your trash. A reminder regarding spirits: If you see someone in a blue headband and have chosen for your character to be able to see spirits, your character sees a glowing blue ball of light. It is not possible to tell who the spirit belongs to until you have started the process of resurrecting them. Safety Reminders Just a reminder that players are encouraged to travel together at night, there have been coyote encounters on camp recently. If you see or hear large animals (coyotes/bears), please notify any staff member and those you come across who might not be aware. Players must avoid areas with active large animal activity. If large animals ever approach you or others with aggressive intent do not run away or turn you back to it! Stand your ground, wave your arms, and yell with a loud and authoritative tone until they leave. The vast majority of animals you may encounter in camp will run away from such a display. Additionally, we had some confusion last month with some players believing they heard wolves in the camp. Please know that this is not possible as wild wolves are not present in NJ and have not been for a long time. Also please note that we consider “Coywolves” or Eastern Coyotes as Coyotes and will treat them as such when reacting to them on camp. We are entering the Winter Season, please ensure you are taking precautions to ensure you’re staying warm and hydrated. Keep dry and ensure you’re wearing proper garb made from wool or other blends. Please avoid cotton when possible as it holds moisture to your body making you colder. Statehouses are always open to those that need to warm up. Keep an eye on yourself and on your fellow players. Feel free to reach out to a Safety Marshal if you need additional advice regarding cold weather Larping. Card Team Reminders -If you are a Patreon subscriber, please make sure your Patreon billing info remains up to date! -Please read your card notes! This is one of the primary ways for our teams to communicate with you. -Your character card being approved does NOT mean your backstory has been approved! Lore Team will leave a separate note on your card when they have reviewed and approved your backstory. -We encourage you to take photos of your card(s) after an event before turning them in! If there is an issue, it helps both you and us resolve it in a timely manner. -Remember that all rituals must be noted on a character card, whether your own or the target's (if you cast a ritual upon another character). Use the lined space on the back of the character card. If you use an invokable ritual, you are responsible for crossing it out or otherwise denoting it as used
