February FeastJanuary 25th, 2012

The 2012 Kingdoms of Novitas February Feast will be held on Saturday, February 11th. There will be a single 5-hour game shift, to run from noon to 5 PM. After dinner, we will retire to Frank Lodge for the usual stuff: a fundraiser auction, a short State of the Game address, and partying. More info on the Feast can be found here.

We'll be taking pre-orders for Kingdoms of Novitas t-shirts at the Feast.

December EventNovember 23rd, 2011

The next Kingdoms of Novitas weekend event will be December 2-4, 2011. December is almost always a cold month in central New York. Please plan accordingly. If you come prepared, cold events can be fun, and you'll stay reasonably comfortable and safe. There are lots of discussions on our forums on how to dress and how to keep your cabin warm. 

Preproduction and lore requests are due ASAP. You're already too late to get XP credit for a post event letter (PEL), but you can still write a something brief to help your GMs prepare plots.

Please plan to archive a copy of your character sheet at sign-in in December, even if you aren't leveling, so Logistics will have a copy for data collection (as a bonus, it'll be okay if you lose yours over the two and a half month downtime).

We hope to have new Kingdoms of Novitas t-shirts available at the Feb Feast.

Fighter Practice August 6thJuly 8th, 2011

Novitas will be having a fighter practice on Saturday, August 6th at Vanderkamp, starting around 1pm. Please don’t show up before noon – there will be campers still there! These practices generally last a few hours and then end with a BBQ – feel free to bring food to share.

All attendees get 1XP just for showing up. Full sign-in is optional – you can choose to come for free – but full sign-in means that if you attend and pay us $25, we record 4 XP and an IOU for an extra month’s worth of production skills. Players level and receive their consumables, item numbers, and/or coin in September. Please note that since you can’t level until September, you can’t use any skills that aren’t currently on your character sheet over the downtime. (Note: This option is only available for those in attendance at the fighter practice. KON always takes cash donations and rewards XP in return, but the only time we do extra production is at these practices.)

Garb is optional, but you must bring your own weapons. Don’t bring your best or most expensive weapons to fight with at these practices. One FP = a year’s worth of abuse at game.
