Early Winter

The atmosphere is festive at this time of year, but there's always the shadow of something a little eerie in the winter months.

Beautiful Berenice: The Latest Holiday Craze

Introduction


It’s all the rage. You’ve heard about it on the news, on the internet, and from friends: the latest Beautiful Berenice doll just dropped and she's taken the holidays by storm. This doll has inspired the usual early-riser “shopper stampede” often seen on Black Friday. Everyone seems to need one, for children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews. Perhaps you even want one for yourself.

Really, it’s nothing out of the ordinary. What's so special about this doll? Perhaps you know, being a collector, or an individual shopping for children, or perhaps this is very baffling. Still, not even the occasional news report about shoppers getting a little too exuberant about acquiring one of these toys raises any red flags.

So, you think nothing of it when you go out to do some holiday shopping at Kingslane City Mall. The mall is crowded, but festive, with that holiday anticipation thick in the air. People are there for the atmosphere just as much as the rush of shopping.

It’s here you finally see what the Beautiful Berenice craze is all about. There are lines of shoppers out the doors of every toy store in the mall. Most who have one seem to be clutching it with an air of possessive nervousness, as if they expect their precious prize to be snatched from their hands at any moment.

It is, perhaps, a little eerie, if you look too long.

But why worry? It’s the holidays and it’s just a normal viral, shopping craze. What could go wrong?

Event Details
This event will run from today (December 24th) until the end of January and is held in the Kingslane location in the Newton forum.

The encounter itself need not be on December 24th specifically. If a character would go shopping earlier or later for those after-Christmas sales, then that is acceptable. The main requirement to earn a reward is that the encounter is requested and completed by the end of January.

The set up involves encountering a shopper with a Beautiful Berenice doll, either in a crowded area or somewhere more secluded. Note: does not need to be at the start of the thread, take what time you need for the characters to get into the set up. Further details will drop when the encounter is requested.


Have fun, and happy shopping!

December Updates


Well, here we are! The last month of the year. As people may have noticed, it's been slow around here. We apologize for the lack of fall events, but we're sure the hustle and bustle on our end will ease up around the New Year. Happy holidays, everyone!

November Updates


Happy November! Once again, a fairly quiet month on the updates side as fall comes rolling in. We're planning on a small fall event to enjoy, but for now, the renaissance faire remains a fun option for characters to partake in.

Also, we'd love to see more people taking on the Train Station of the Dead, linked below! All you need is to find someone who was in Phase I to participate.

Anyway, hope everyone is enjoying the cooling weather!

October Updates


Happy October! Fall is here and so is the Easthaven Ren Fair! Join the fun and enjoy costumes, mead, and turkey legs. And with October coming up, now's the perfect time to get into some spooky shenanigans with friends (or enemies, if you like).

Lacking any major developments to the system, this is a short and sweet update. Have a good October!

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 Apprentice and up.

September Updates

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!

  • Nothing to report!

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.

May Updates

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.
