Moving forward... BSA and a new camp maybe?

November 9 3:08PM by Barren

Karl and I took a nice drive over to Wautoma yesterday to meet with BSA Bay Lakes Council Exec Director and to tour Camp Maywood Wilderness. I have a thread in the 'general out of game' forums regarding our site tour and a lot of pictures of the camp.

The vote in the thread about whether or not to pursue a possible Venture troop in BSA was overall in favor of doing so, so we have begun moving forward with that option. We have a few hurdles to cross before we can say we exist as a Venture troop though and also before we can book the camp at all, so head into the forums and voice your opinion.

This year, we saw our game return to some of it's former glory only to be limited by the size of our camp and small plot staff. In hopes of making the game bigger and better, we need a site that can handle more people and we need to institute some of our old policies again regarding npc ratio. We should keep the newlarp bug in our heads all winter, please stay active in the forums, we have lots of rules changes already agreed upon for next season and we have MANY more to go over in the off-season.

Lets get our attendance up again so we can afford to host full weekend events with inside sleeping accommodations! In the meantime though, if we register with BSA we will have camps available to us that offer a lot of room and also bathroom facilities and camping arrangements as well if we want to do some extended or even overnight events on the cheap.

Event added and it's at a new location!

August 31 1:24PM by Barren

We have added an additional gameday, September 26th. It will be an extended event and will run from 10:00a.m. to 7:00p.m, check-in opens around 9.

Two meals will be provided. One around noon, the other later in the day. Check the forums for menu information.

Also, the 26th is a dime day for experience! If you wish to purchase xp, it would be helpful to contact me via the forums ahead of time to figure out your purchased amount ahead of time as it takes too long to update characters on-site.

• • • update: costs for this event are: $10 play $5 npc, as stated before, it includes 2 meals.***

Address to this site:

N1699 County Highway XX Berlin, WI.

note: a waiver will need to be completed at check-in for anybody attending this event, requirements of the new site.

p.s. I hear there will be some new/old faces at the event, I can't wait!

Post June gameday

June 25 4:52PM by Barren

Hey people, hope you are having a good season so far, I know I am enjoying it!

The last event had somewhere around 22 people in attendance, so it looks like we're back! The weather was crazy hot, but bugs were not a problem at all, which is good!

The forums are getting busy with rules talk and some rules "fixes".

Also, I'll try to get the characters updated in the next few days, so that I can coordinate with people via instant message on the forums for updates/spending cp's. Keep in mind the need for teaching, I'll have a spot printed on the sheets next time for people to sign if they teach you things, for now, have the person contact me via IM.

Great first gameday

April 30 2:30PM by Barren

Even the monsoon couldn't deter the masses from showing up to the first gameday for 2009. We had somewhere around 20 people for the first event, looks like we'll have start using the ratio system for pc/npc'ing again.

A few new faces and a lot of old faces have returned to the game with vast amounts of enthusiasm!

Talk in the forums says even more people will be at the next event!

New site

April 23 2:44PM by Barren

Josh is working on updating the site to this new wiki page that should be easy to add new information and easier for people to find things. I believe he's also going to be updating the forums. *I have to admit... I made the Joshlarp graphic... so classic!*

Hope to see you on Saturday!

You asked for them... here they are:

Get into the forums and figure out what type of character you are going to play in the new game. All characters start over at level 3.. no more sick characters with gross magic items to dominate the gameday.. it's a level playing field, folks! Get back into the game.. oh and don't forget to check out the new rulebook.. links are all here on the main page or in the forums.

Thanks,

Adam

2007 season is off and running

May 1 2:41PM by barren

The 2007 season is off and running. I finally am able to update the site again.

The first event was last Saturday and was a blast! The ground was a little soft in spots but all in all, a very nice setup.

Re-writes and next game

September 19 11:47AM by barren

Okay, the next gameday is this Saturday, it's the last game of the year and it's also the first game of the new plot people!

Character re-writes are going to be allowed prior to the game as well as after the game, but only ONE... If you haven't already contacted me about your character, if you have excel, I can send you the entire sheet and you can re-work it as you see fit.

Otherwise, I can just give you your level and you can work from that.. or the other option is at the event, I will print out your current sheet and you can use that for the day and update as you want and then turn in the sheet after the game to me and I'll get it all updated in the computer for next year.

Also, with the rules committee planning to be active this winter, expect a 4th edition for the spring, if your character is affected greatly, we will again allow a rewrite prior to the first event.

Weekend event this Saturday and Sunday!

September 2 8:51AM by barren

Just a reminder, the format of this event is different from our normal weekend events.. We are starting Saturday morning, check-in at 9am.. game should start around 10 or so.

The event will go through Sunday, I'm assuming early afternoon or so.

Hope to see you all there!
