Crestfallen May Update!
Hello everyone! Sorry for the delay in content, but here are the latest updates for May and beyond!
April Event Recap: A message was sent to town by the local robot librarian LEX, stating that it grew weary of being stuck within its domicile and wished to be released. It asked for the adventurers to speak with a being known as TOMY to judge its character and see if it could be trusted. With no clear response given, LEX waited and debated. During this time a number of undead creatures massed and forced LEX into interfacing with an object known as a transference case. The adventurers received a warning alarm at the Gathering Hall and were able to quickly reach the library and save LEX before his consciousness could be removed. In addition to this the adventurers dealt with an increase in elemental activity, strange portals, calming nature spirits, and more!
We had a number of great responses from this event and look forward to our next one coming soon! We are making updates to a number of aspects to the game to make things run smoother and have a lot more fun. Dade and I thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement.
May Event Teaser: Greetings Adventurers! It is I, Jacob Coldren, the esteemed leader of Gno More Gnolls! Gno More Gnolls is the one and only gnoll elimination group for hire! We specialize in the quick and somewhat humane culling of nuisance gnolls and gnolls that have wandered too close to civilization. We, the Inspired of Katalossa, have the right to live our lives free from the fear of the gnoll scourge! If you, or anyone you know, have been victimized by a gnoll, and wish to hire our services, please call upon I, or my colleagus, Howard Sadler, Ehrendil Gredove, or Azuk to discuss location, price, and availablity.
This event is being written by Brittney Perry and run by Dade and myself. This event will focus on the current goings on of the local gnoll faction as well as Gno More Gnolls coming to town to assist the populace in ridding itself from the vile creatures.
MAY Event NPCS: We are looking for additional NPCs to run this event. We always would like to have the same number of NPCs as PCs when we run events. There are lots of reasons to NPC at Crestfallen that other games aren’t currently doing. NPCs play for free and get a $10 credit towards future PC events. We have an NPC website where players can access monster cards, plot write ups, and characters in advance so they can learn before they arrive. This allows players to play bigger parts rather than just “core” npc members playing all the fun cards. Our NPC factions have goals built into their cards that make them more fun to play! The more goals the faction complete, the more powerful they can become.
Our goal is to have enough NPCs that we can all have fun, not overwork ourselves, and provide the players a fun and challenging event.
Research and All-Of Branch: With the event registration deadline quickly approaching, we need to make sure that all players who wanted to turn in their research reports, All-Of Branch articles, photos, art, and other submissions have them turned in for inclusion. YES, unlike many games, you can earn in game treasure for being creative or gaining information. Knowledge and creativity is money and power! If you signed up for research guild jobs or would like to submit to the All-Of Branch, there is still time! Turn in submissions before the registration deadline with any research and spell/item creation and lets build Katalossa together!
Potluck Meals and Food Vendors: Last event we held an all day Saturday pot luck that worked out super well! Everyone seemed to have enough food and shared with those in need. This event we will be doing the same thing, but with a few minor changes. Rather than bringing food, I will be bringing a number of metal forks, spoons, cups, and wooden containers to cut down on OoG packaging. We want to build the atmosphere and seeing some of the packages in the pictures take that away. I know it doesn’t bug people (which I appreciate!) but these small items will help keep the in game atmosphere.
The current menu includes Macaroni Salad, Hawaiian Meatballs, Kielbasa & Potatoes in cheese sauce, BBQ Chicken, Beef Stew, Green Beans/Potatoes w/lilsmokies, Poptarts and as you go snacks, and Eclair Cake. Additionally there will be a drink cooler with Water and Drink Mix available. Anyone who wishes to take part can bring additional food to offer.
Eventually as Crestfallen grows, we may become too large for a potluck to be viable. I have played games where players supply food for their own groups and sell to other players. This is completely acceptable as long as players realize they are eating at their own risk. Crestfallen does not supply food, is not food safety trained, and does not license that other peoples cooking is safe.
April Event Registration: The last day to register for the Bonus CP, Research/Crafting/Spell creation, and cot/mattress deadline is May 8th by midnight. Register at Crestfallenlarp.com/schedule
Some folks still have credits available.
