Important Game Updates

Submitted by Thad (He/Him) on Wed, 4/1/2009 at 6:55pm

After long discussions with Nick, we've decided to make the following major rule changes. We ask that you all please familiarize yourselves with them, as they will be going into effect the very first event.

  • Warlocks will soon be unrestricted. In fact, they will now be the only approved, freely playable class in the game.
  • Because monks were too powerful in playtesting, the monk class will soon be restricted. In order to gain a level in monk, you must be Chuck Norris.
  • There will soon be a new skill called Dodgepacket. Characters with the Dodgepacket skill will be able to catch thrown packets and automatically "Retort Slay" the character who threw it.
  • To help balance fighters against casters, all warrior, monk, and savage actions will now have an additional performance requirement. The user must state the action's name (anime style) prior to using the action. "Brutal Assault! Hiya!"
  • The colors red and black are now prohibited in combination on any PC costume. These two colors will now be used to signify a player who is medically out of combat due to being a pansy.
  • In order to make druids more powerful, they will soon have the ability to shapeshift into plot members.
  • Inside jokes are now prohibited in all game contexts.
  • Your throat.
  • Peanut butter jar lid.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Feel free to leave them in the comments below.

We did not come to these conclusions lightly. Although I did fight for the monk class being able to gain levels if they are a family member of Chuck Norris out of play. In an attempt to gain his favor and attendance in the game.

The black and red costume rule was purely to make our game look different from other larps in the region.

I should have known you guys were getting full of yourselves when you showed me the rough design for the in-game money. For those of you who would like to know what I'm talking about, see the test gallery.

lol I think we need to mint it with, "In Thad we trust."

In the event that others read this a year from now, this was an April fools prank post. Not that anyone bit on it at all. I do like the coin idea.

Looks like I need to change my costume colors.
