Heya folks,
Times are still changing! There are a few new developments, so here they are -
Content
With the general stability of Freygate on the rise, and incidents of undead violence clearly lowering, nosferatu-styled Dhampir are now an available race! These charming individuals come complete with pallid skin, point incisors and elven-styled ears as well as having access to the following racial trait:
Spooky, Scary: Dhampir gain a +2 racial bonus on Perform: Dance and Perform: Wind Instrument checks. This trait replaces Manipulative.
Council Expansion
The current Leadership Council now consists of Geckilian, Zanos, Wizardfrog, DizzyXI and our newest member - Xemadus! Also, changes to DragonsGate are now more in the hands of the GMs.
GMs and Leads can post change proposals in the DG Development forum (visible to GMs and above) and debate the pros and cons of such change. After a discussion period of a week a poll will be set up concerning yes or no on the changes. After a week of voting, the poll is then locked and the decision will be implemented by the Leads within two further weeks barring any emergency concerns raised by anyone. A consensus of at least 75% of current GMs and Leads will be required to action a change - in the event of a tie Leads may elect to count their vote as two.
Play By Post
This forum will now be opening on a limited basis! There will be three areas -
The main forum where play by post games will be posted by GMs.
A subforum for freeform roleplay which will largely be unrewarded and player-driven, but will be overseen by myself. Small rewards will be given out for thematic occurrences, good character development and so forth. This will scale with level.
The recruitment subforum, where GMs will post recruitment topics for their play by post games, outlining the level bracket, expected duration and so on.
Currently the freeform roleplay area will be open - feel free to make a thread like you would in the downtime thread! If you need me to jump in as an npc please feel free to PM me.
The main issue with actual games currently is we're currently debating appropriate session rewards since games that update daily would still take weeks or even months to finish. Also there's the question of what to use for on-forum rolling, whether we have the GMs control all the rolls, whether we use an external program with online logs and so forth. Once we hammer those details out then we'll post up another update concerning the guidelines for play by post and the decisions made, keeping you guys in the loop!
Sanity's Eclipse
As this arc has largely stalled, any characters with outstanding gold and exp from Sanity's Eclipse sessions may apply the rewards to their characters now as per normal sessions.
So overall then, enjoy the new Dhampirs, we'll now have an expanded decision making process for the council and play by post is semi-live!
Gamingly,
The Leadership Council
