September is here and while we don't have any changes in the Guidebook, we do have a new site event! This one is a bit of a free for all, letting everyone wander and request Encounters at their leisure or participate in a few tests of skill. Check out the Easthaven Ren Fair and find out what's in store for September! The event itself will be open until the end of October even if in-game it's only around for September.

If you want to participate in the tests of skill, make sure to toss your hat in the ring ASAP so we can make sure everyone is included when we kick them off!

Development

Hotspots

McCoy Orchards
To claim a hotspot, post a thread set in the named location and submit a mod request for a hotspot encounter. A hotspot can only be claimed once, but a new one is dropped when the old one is completed.

This particular hotspot has been a thorn in Easthaven's–and by extension, the Exchange's–side for some time now. Rumours abound of a strange elk-like creature lurking in the shadows of the orchards. It has harassed several people according to the word on the street, and photos are beginning to appear online, claiming it's a new New England cryptid. Most believe it's just a particularly aggressive elk, displaced by development or something of the sort.

City Mysteries

Our City Mysteries meters are in our footer, under the board statistics. Each finished meter will trigger a unique adventure scenario or world development, so try to puzzle out what will trigger them for new content!

August is here and we've got a small update that's been a long time coming. The Master Keywords have been republished, with the new options available for any Arcanist who reaches the Magus rank.

Development

• The Arcanist Master Keywords have been re-added to the Guidebook, now ordered into three categories with three Master Keywords to choose from in each. Read more on the Master Keywords Guidebook page.
  

Upcoming

• An update to the player toolbox in the sidebar
  
• Advancement Prompts for Apprentice and up.

Upcoming

Some big updates for the month of May! We have an all-new Guidebook that’s undergone a whole lot of minor edits and some major edits, both for clarification and adding more information about various things, especially locations people frequent. While anything major related to the game has been specified, it would be useful for everyone to re-read and get familiar with the pages relevant to them. While we have a search bar now, the new organisation makes it important that you know where to find the information you need when checking the guidebook.

Development

• New Guidebook! Check it out.
  
• The forum rules and discord conduct have been revised and some things have been expanded on, make sure you’re familiar with these.
  
• Exchange Equipment has been renamed The Knack, with a new description.
  
• Shifters are reduced to 4d6 Strike when they’ve ingested Aconite.
  
• The ritual penalties have been organised and clarified, it is very important that all arcanists know the mechanics around rituals.
  
• All Advancements from Novice to Apprentice have been reduced to two prompts.
  
• All but Possessed Advancement for Apprentice to Master have been added.
  
• Toolbox removed, links added to the sidebar profile.
  

Upcoming

• The Master-Legendary Keywords are in the process of being updated. The main categories of Space, Time, and Reality will be broken into three keywords each. More to come.
  
• Advancement Prompts for Master to Legendary.

We're not big fans of April Fools, so you're saved a joke for today. Instead, have some bona fide updates to the Guidebook. It'll be tweaked a little over the coming months as we cut the chaff and trim the fat, cross our t's and dot our i's.

• A sitemap has been added to the front page of the Guidebook.
  
• Born Shifters now gain Inhuman Speed at the Mundian rank.

March dawns and spring's a little closer! Remember that the Winter Gala and Chased by the Hours end on the 15th, which means no more prizes if you haven't gained enough points/finished the thread! Anyone can keep posting in these threads until they're finished after that date, however.

Development

• The ritual guidebook page has been updated. The order of actions in a ritual has been clarified.
  
• The abilities listed for all Paths have been edited to clarify where you should roll Cinder to use the abilities. Check the Path guidebook page relevant to your characters for any changes.
  

Upcoming

• An update to the player toolbox in the sidebar
  
• The Master-Legendary Keywords are in the process of being updated. The main categories of Space, Time, and Reality will be broken into three keywords each. More to come.

It's our last update of the year! December's here and the holidays are closing in. There wont be a winter holiday event this year, but look out for something coming in the New Year!

We've got a few updates for December, make sure to read the changes relevant to your Paths! Therefore Sheol's second phase has triggered, so run along and read what happens next!

Development

• The Parting Gift ability for Possessed now allows the player to switch Path to either Undying, Half-Blood, or Cursed.
  
• The Thoughtform ability for the Spirits has been updated. It allows a spirit to pick a Keyword from the Fey or Elemental portfolio in addition to the Path Keyword they get at the Mane rank.
  
• Oaths now work between the Possessed and their Passenger, and a Possessed breaking and Oath with their Passenger would feel the consequences.

• Added an Age Restriction Plugin to be activated on the 1st.
