Announcements

Greetings Arcanorum Citizens! Important Announcement: June 14-16 LARP Event Cancelled We regret to inform you that our LARP event scheduled for June 14-16 has been cancelled. Several factors have contributed to this decision: Staffing Issues: Unfortunately, we will be missing half of our plot team during the event dates. Site Readiness: The event site is not adequately prepared to host us, with the lack of beds being one of the major concerns. Additional Reasons: There are other logistical issues that we are currently facing. We understand this news may be disappointing. However, we believe this decision is in the best interest of everyone involved. To give our plot team some much-needed rest, we will not be rescheduling this event and I ask that if you need something from the plot team that you first message me. Instead, we are excited to announce an NPC Appreciation Day. This will be a great opportunity for us to show our NPCs that their contributions are highly valued and appreciated. NPCing is more than just volunteering, and we want to recognize that. In addition, I am planning a get-together for practice, hangout, and testing Advance Classes. With many new members joining us, this will be a perfect time to get to know each other better and prepare for future events. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to message me directly. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Greetings Arcanorum Citizens, a message from our new NPC Coordinator! Good day, friends! I’m now in the role of NPC Coordinator. I’m looking for some writers to work on some mini-encounters for our upcoming season. These will be small, one- or two-person encounters designed to take place mostly in the guildhall (tavern), and not to exceed 1 hour in length. If you are looking for ways to get some Service Points in, make NPCing enjoyable, and grow some interesting characters for PCs to interact with, this would a good way to see all that happen. Arcanorum has a writing style guide prepared to walk potential writers through this format and we are excited about getting more people involved in writing for Arcanorum! If you are interested in being a writer, please DM me @Kunzite (Azazel)

Hey Arcanorum Citizens! Coming up, you’ll hear about some changes to Arcanorum Campaign Staff for 2024, and we’ll soon introduce a couple of new staff members. First, many words of thanks to @Doug (Denver Plot) who has decided to step back from Arcanorum Plot in favor of concentrating on exciting events in his real life this year. Doug has fashioned more of our game world than you may be aware, contributing significantly to development of the Edosian Nobility, the Archaphage, the Bulwark, portraying Ludo, heading up the Council and various Elyran plotlines, as well as many others. You’re aware of his performances as Ludo Burke of Elyra on the Town Council, Fen of the Harvest, Julian of the Unbound Archives – with that trademark bookshelf on his back, which introduces all the stunning props that Doug built for the campaign along with contributions of his writing. As a coup de grace, Doug painstakingly created the prop for the Stormgate, introduced at the October 2023 Season Closer, and which you should be sure to check out when you can this year! Additionally, Doug wrote whole novels of BGE responses, making the offstage game world come alive for players and Plot alike. We’re deeply grateful to Doug for all his contributions thus far, wish him well in his personal endeavors this year and always, and we’ll leave out a plate of cookies to welcome him back whenever he chooses! Please join us in thanking Doug for everything he’s done for this game!

I am pleased to announce that we have filled several key positions within our LARP. Please join me in welcoming the following individuals to their respective roles: Brandon has joined us as Character Logistics. Trace will be serving as Materials Logistics. Kunzite has taken up the position of NPC Representative. Congratulations to Brandon, Trace, and Kunzite, and thank you to the community for their support as we continue to move forward.

Thanks to everyone for all your wonderful submissions over the course of season 1, we hope that our next season is even better than the last, and look forward to seeing you out at our pre-season events, and the Opener on April 12th! BGE Winter 2024 Formhttps://forms.gle/RondvVHxe7NVFWsb6

Today we wanted to share a preview of our advanced classes. These are still in beta so we expect quite a few changes to happen to them, but we wanted to give everyone a chance to look at them to get an idea where we are headed.
You can find the advanced classes on our website under the rules and tools (very bottom) – Beta Rules

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lKgXeHgaZ6uJnA2JFkQn4DIU9N75yfmT4bDQQdrjy58/edit?usp=sharing Please note that these have an SP rate per dollar AND a cap- you do not have to spend the maximum dollars to reach the cap, but please bear in mind that the cap considers both time spent AND money spent. If you’re aiming for the cap, try to balance your time and expenditure so you don’t end up feeling underpaid! If you’re not sure if something will reach the cap, feel free to shoot over a picture of it. If you feel like you’ve got an amazing opportunity to snatch up something really special for NPC camp that’s worth MORE than the cap, reach out with that too. This is a GREAT way to get some SP for breed reps you didn’t end up using, the set of horns that didn’t end up working with your concept, etc. We really don’t want you to go out and buy super expensive pieces, but we would love for our creative community to help us make NPC camp shine! Post-halloween sales will be a great opportunity to pick up some discounted wigs, but please do consider genre; nobody’s game immersion will be improved by a rainbow of mullets.

The Prologue

Our first event is only a month away, and we’re excited to share some information and details with you!

Event Details!

Arcanorum Campaign Opener – March 17-19, 2023

Location: Easter Seals Rocky Mountain Village – Site Directions: Web | Address: 2644 Alvarado Rd, Empire, CO 80438

Payment: We have both cabins and camping options, with a discount for camping – both options are available over in the Shop. Please remember to include the annual Membership ($1) as well, as it is necessary to keep our membership covered in case of accident as well as retain our non-profit status!

Minors Policy: Please review the Minors Policy if any attendee is under the age of 18, as there are are specific rules and Guardian Consent is required (by form) for each Minor.

Summary: This Event is the Campaign opener, and as such we’ll be having plenty of support on hand and available to help navigate both the setting and the system! This is a Full Game(!) and will be awarding XP & CP to all attending characters!

Setting: The Prologue takes place in Crowne Point two years prior to the start of the Campaign proper, as several national interested attempt to exert overt influence upon the town and it’s future direction. This pressure comes from multiple angles, and it is up to the character’s present to determine which of these factions are allies and which are.. not so much – so come on out and set the stage for the campaign!

Event Pace: Friday Night we will be having a Soft Layon, as we work through Logistics, GoFundMe awards, and ensuring that the attendees all have the support necessary to play their characters. We have some content planned for after 9PM Friday to allow players to acquaint themselves with their characters mechanics, and provide a lead up to the festivities on Saturday.

Saturday will consist entirely of 100% in-game time, with a whirlwind of content: social, political, and combat – be prepared to be active and engaged all day, as the future of Crowne Point rests on the decisions made.

Sunday will see a more soft Layoff than usual, as we round out the event with a postscript of Saturday’s events, and go over in-detail the closing out of the site. Easter Seals has been exceedingly gracious to us, and we want to ensure we reciprocate that.
