I am sorry to report a sad milestone in our game: the first PC death in downtime. Barry F's character Colm Stewart fell on 17 July, 1479. Of some consolation however, the removal of Colm's ratings from Barry F's has promoted him into the top player position on the Leader Board!
SCHEDULE
Our
next game is on Saturday July 26 at 13:00 when the game date will be August 8, 1479. Please RSVP for the session at your earliest convenience.
More than ever, it is valuable for players to coordinate with one another who is playing which characters where before the start of the session. Skillful players will have a plan before the session so that they may take best advantage of referee time for the recovery of treasure and earning of XP! I encourage you to chat on our Discord server in advance to figure this out.
TIPS & TRICKS
Disease and Infestation
You may have noticed that your characters' more recent health check rolls have been more likely to result in disease and parasitic infestation now that the warm season is upon your characters. There are a few factors that are within players' control to minimize their, albeit already small, chance of random death. Crowding is perhaps the simplest. By living alone, or with a few people, in a private home instead of living at an inn, characters avoid the "crowding" factor. Avoiding cities, swamps, and jungles helps as well. Keeping to desert, mountain, and cold environments, on the other hand, reduces characters' risks. Direct exposure is the highest risk factor and triggers a check in addition to the periodic checks, and so should be avoided.
