{Dev Q&A starting in 10 minutes at the courthouse in East Hydlaa! If you need a teleport, just ask in gossip or send a tell to Uadjet.}
Harither grins.
Mordaan Says: Hello
Elader says: Hi all
Relef says: hi
Mordaan Says: I pinged Talad. Zunna and eonwind I don't see online.
Mordaan Says: So it may just be us.
Mordaan Says: Well, I can get us started. Most of you know the drill. This is an OOC event. If you have any questions, feel free to line up at the stands and ask away.
Gonger says: Is it holiday time already?
Gonger says: So few people here for the meeting...
Mordaan Says: yes
Mordaan Says: holiday shopping?
Uadjet Says: Quite possibly
Relef says: [sorry, just crashed, did i missed something?]
Harither says: nope relef also its ooc so donr need brackets here
Relef says: k
Relef says: stuck in the bench
Elader says: Summon pet mount umount
Relef says: k
Elader says:
Mordaan Says: Well if there are no other questions, I can provide some updates to get us started.
Relef says: is there already something asked?
Mordaan Says: -other
Mordaan Says: I've been dealing with some RL stuff so haven't dealt with PS in a few weeks. But last I saw, Talad was still working on UE stuff, particularly on the char creation and entry into the game.
Mordaan Says: As for rules and settings, work is being done on the next combat academy. Doesn't look like it will be ready in time for a holiday release. But hopefully sometime in January.
Gonger says: That is the Axe Academy?
Mordaan Says: Some of the quests are already added and proofed, next will be testing. Some others are being finalized by Zunna.
Mordaan Says: I think it is for mace/hammer.
Mordaan Says: bludgeon
Gonger says: Ah, ok. Thanks.
Mordaan Says: We had a fledgling PR dept going but I haven't heard anything in the past few weeks. Then again I haven't been paying much attention.
Mordaan Says: Gonger I know you were interested in participating in the near future.
Mordaan Says: Maybe we'll reconnect in the new year.
Mordaan Says: Well, I think that's it for my updates.
Kaerli says: It seems that the various combat moves don't do much, btw? Or at least that's what I heard
Gonger says: Yes, Mordaan. Like you I was RL busy, but I got things sorted out this week, so in the near future I will be more active!
Mordaan Says: cool
Mordaan Says: Not sure about the effectiveness of the combat moves. That would be a question for eonwind.
Mordaan Says: I should do the sword quests with my main char. I'll get to that sooner or later.
Mordaan Says: Anything else?
Mordaan Says: Questions, comments, complaints, etc.
Relef says: i have a question
Mordaan Says: observations..
Relef says: i'm doing ingame research on enchantments, but i noticed armor enchantments dont give any info about their effects
Relef says: Is there a way for me to get actual numbers about what it does in some way
Uadjet Says: Which enchantments? Player-made enchantments, you mean?
Relef says: player made yes
Uadjet Says: Player-made enchanted armor grants bonuses to resist various Ways. At least last I checked that was the case. The Ways that are resisted aren't listed in the descriptions, although I think some players have tested them out and compiled lists.
Mordaan Says: I can pass it along to eonwind to see what's intended and what's possible.
Relef says: well, i wanted to test them out, but it'll never be as good as the actual numbers
Relef says: it'll be merely a gues
Uadjet Says: I think you can test them using two characters. One wears an item or holds a gem, and the other casts a direct damage spell. Compare how much damage is done to what is done without the item and you'll know the percentage of resistance.
Relef says: hmm well, i'll try
Uadjet Says: Harder with Blue Way, but patterns will emerge that will make it easy to figure out.
Relef says: well, just look at the total dmg dealt by freeze
Relef says: i also have another question
Relef says: some days ago, elader gorub and i fought nefas, in a journal there we found a glyph combination for a spell, but we tried all related combinations and found no spell
Relef says: will that spell ever be implemented?
Mordaan Says: not sure
Mordaan Says: possibly not
Relef says: ok
Mordaan Says: Darn, that reminds me, I need to take on Nefas, myself...haven't gotten to it yet.
Mordaan Says: I'm gonna need a group.
Relef says: , well he's really difficult to do alone :p
Relef says: i want to do it with you if you want?
Uadjet Says: Just don't try melee unless you have healing potions.
Relef says: well, melee is only thing that does enough burstdmg
Relef says: i mean close combat
Uadjet Says: He's one of the few things that can actually kill a GM with our immunities.
Uadjet Says: That and indigestion.
Relef says: :p
Mordaan Says: heh
Relef says: really?
Uadjet Says: I think my hit points are too high now, but before I cranked my stats up teleporting to Nefas was painful.
Gonger says: Now that would be a spell... Indigestion. Brown Way, of course!
Mordaan Says: lol
Uadjet Says: And I lost most of my 40k hit points to indigestion after eating a stack of crafted food.
Karzela says: xD
Relef says: :p
Uadjet Says: Hmmm. Acid Reflux.
Relef says: oh yes, i think i have another question
Harither says: who eats a pile of pie..
Harither says: you would probably puke..
Relef says: i cant hear anything from planeshift
Relef says: but my sound is on everywhere
Mordaan Says: maybe a setting?
Uadjet Says: I was renaming food for yesterday's event and decided to change the base item. That left a stack of food items unusable and taking up room in my inventory.
Relef says: i did all settings to max sound
Uadjet Says: Have you checked the settings in the launcher?
Relef says: yup
Mordaan Says: there might be one more fix in the config file.
Relef says: there's just 1 tick for sound, that's on, and another thing
Uadjet Says: Sound Renderer.
Gonger says: I have the Renderer set to OpenAL, because otherwise I also had sound problems.
Relef says: there i have software selected
Uadjet Says: I have OpenAL as well.
Mordaan Says: yeah, try OpenAL.
Relef says: hmm, i'll try restarting with the openal now
Relef says: going away from the benches :p
Relef says: i hear something
Gonger says: I told you to check the Loader settings... :-)
Mordaan Says: It's a miracle!!
Gonger says: The Deaf can hear!
Relef says: well, i just have no idea what that setting is
Gag says: This is a real knowledge seeker...
Relef says: :p
Gonger says: Well, if you have two options, and the first one does not give the result you want... what do you do?
Relef says: well, ask a gm :p
Uadjet Says: OpenAL is a cross-platform audio application programming interface.
Uadjet Says: And yes, I googled it and copied that.
Harither says: i think i found a bug i make chain cloth with a book (i think it was the platemail book or chainmail) but its not in it.
Gag says: I wonder why the OpenAL option is not the default. Are there any systems where Software rendering is preferrable?
Relef says: i think it'll be plate mail book
Relef says: cause i am able to make anything without problems from chain mail book
Mordaan Says: I know there's some crossover with that one helms book.
Harither says: you need to find thinggs which are not there
Uadjet Says: You mean you can make the cloth with that book in mind even though the instructions aren't in the book?
Harither says: yea
Harither says: its chainmail cloth for the helmet but it was definately not the helm book.
Uadjet Says: In Helms of Darmeth are the instructions for making Large Mail Cloth
Uadjet Says: I'll test that out. The cloth only appears in the helm book and is only useful when making helms, so not sure why other books would enable that transformation. Could just be a simple bug.
Harither says: ok
Harither says: it was an accident i found that out
Harither says: just used the wrong combine items
Relef says: hmm, i also have some bug to report
Mordaan Says: crafting can be complicated...with the heirarchy of tranformations and combinations.
Relef says: sometimes the server shuts down and after a few minutes we can join again
Relef says: i lost already 20 chain mail strips and 10 molten steel with that
Kaerli says: Relef: that's called the server *crashing*
Mordaan Says: yes, that can happen. Server crashes are a wild card.
Relef says: hmm ok, i think I only lose the items i am moving at that moment
Kaerli says: yeah, the PS server doesn't exactly have rock-solid transaction handling
Gonger says: That's the price we all pay at some point for playing a totally free game. Annoying, but part of it.
Relef says: well, i only play free games
Relef says: exept overwatch
Mordaan Says: Doesn't have to be but sometimes it can't be avoided. Especially now with not much in a way of engine devs.
Mordaan Says: It's much better now than in the past.
Mordaan Says: Anything else for the meeting?
Mordaan Says: Else we can wrap things up.
Mordaan Says: It's almost time anyway.
Relef says: nothing from me i think
Gonger says: Thanks for the meeting!
Keyan says: good day Ladies and Gents
Mordaan Says: Yes, thanks for coming, everyone!
Karzela says: Thanks for all you do too!
Harither says: its a lot better then in the past.
Relef says: way better yes
Harither says: poke talad some so the oldbies can get back the crystal hunt on hyldaa plaaza11
Harither says: ^^
Relef says:
Relef says: well, you could make another ps server for crystal hunt
Harither says: im not a code/server money..
Harither says: else i would try to help em..
Relef says: wasnt there once another ps server?
Gag says: A PvP server; but servers come and go, depending on sponsorship contracts ...
Gag says: And most people were not really interested in PvP.
Relef says: well, it's now possible to make a server if you just have a pc that can be on all day
Gag says: But to offer an official PlaneShift gaming environment, you need an agreement from Talad, I bet...
Gag says: The current server provider has a lot of experience in managing networks.
Relef says: well, i think the server isnt the problem, i think the database would be more of a problem
Gag says: Anything left to ask?
Uadjet Says: I'm so tempted to prank Minet Estaker
Gag says: If not, then I believe we just have to thank the participants of today.
Gag waves goodbye.
Elader says: Yea thankyou

Sorry guys, I was sick and missed the meeting before this one, (Feb 11th) and the one before that one I think I totally spaced that one (Jan 28th) so I don't  have logs for those. But I did find logs for Jan 14th and Dec 10tth I'll post those even though it's a bit late. Slacker. I'm fired.





Menille says: Looks like the meeting is off,no one here.
Gonger says: Patience
Gonger says: And are we noone?
Eatuck says: hoping they are just late
Silak says: Thought you took a longer route getting here :-)
Talad Says: I am live on youtube
Talad Says: www.youtube.com/PlaneShiftOfficial/live
Talad Says: there you can hear my voice as well
Silak says: Good info, thanks !
Talad Says: we are doing some live streaming of the Unreal Engine developments
Silak says: Getting a decent gathering ?
Mordaan Says: ha, are we live on youtube?
Talad Says: ok, we can start the meeting
Talad Says: www.youtube.com/PlaneShiftOfficial/live here we are live as well
Talad Says: Welcome to the "meet the devs" meeting
Talad Says: its an OOC event, you can just ask any questions about the game
Talad Says: or the developemnts
Talad Says: just give suggestions and comments
Talad Says: if you have a question just walk to the stand
Talad Says: in front of us
Talad Says: if there are questions I can giv eyou an update of what we are doing
Menille says: That would be nice.
Vilthis says: Would get the ball rolling
Talad Says: In the last 2 weeks I worked quite a bit on Unreal Engine
Talad Says: if you go to the calendar youwill see all the events of the live streams
Mordaan Says: I like the updates at the beginning. It can server as a conversation starter.
Talad Says: about 9 days, this one is the 9th
Talad Says: 4-8 hours a day
Talad Says: depending on the day
Talad Says: all videos are recorded on youtube
Talad Says: those are pretty boring anyway if you are not a programmer
Talad Says: Im not expecting you to look at those
Talad Says: I can give a summary in this meeting
Talad Says: the first thing we did was to implement the interaction with NPCs
Silak says: Gaining any new insights in the process ?
Talad Says: in the test server we have for Unreal engine we have already using a PS database
Mordaan Says: Odd to suddenly have some audio commentary to these meetings.
Talad Says: we load the NPCs from the database already
Talad Says: there is one test dermorian female loading in the plaza
Talad Says: so we created a interaction menu, which is pops up when you get close to her
Troax says: Hi!
Talad Says: if you join the youtube later you may see it live
Talad Says: Hi Troax
Talad Says: the interaction menu at the moment allows to look at the NPC
Talad Says: and brings back a description
Talad Says: using the same data we have in the PS database
Talad Says: the User Interface for now is very basic
Talad Says: but we care more about the logic for now
Talad Says: Hi Rykia
Talad Says: then in the last few days I've added also a talk interaction
Rykia says: Hello Talad and everyone else. Thanks for unlocking the door.
Talad Says: you can click on talk and send a message to the NPC, like "HI"
Talad Says: and just today we got our first answer back
Talad Says: properly using all the dialogue and natural language parsing used in PS
Talad Says: so most of the dialogue part is ported to UE
Talad Says: the big piece missing in that domain are the quests options
Talad Says: meaning the UI where you select options in the quets
Mordaan Says: right, the menus associated with quests
Talad Says: the User Interface will have to be redone, but we will get good benefits in the remake as we use UE
Gonger says: Sounds good.
Talad Says: the next steps are to finish the talk interaction
Talad Says: and allow players to speak with NPCs freely
Talad Says: same as we have in current PS
Talad Says: then I think we will go to port the quest functionalities
Talad Says: which will make it a "game" on UE side
Talad Says: at that point we may think to open it to players to test
Talad Says: its important to remember that everything else is still missing
Talad Says: so there is no combat, no crafting, no spells, ....
Talad Says: but those will follow anyway
Menille says: Are we still a long way off to getting UE4?
Mordaan Says: The other approach would just to just have a world to pop into. Our very first UE demo. Then we can add features one by one.
Talad Says: I think we are still pretty far
Talad Says: but mostly depends on who works on it
Troax says: Will there be 2 servers then? I mean one with the 'old' PS and one with the new UE version under development?
Talad Says: we got some people interested in the live streams im doing
Talad Says: and few may actually help for real
Menille says: I hope so
Mordaan Says: Once we get to that point, yes, there would be a eeparate server.
Talad Says: there is people helping me on the code if I ask questions
Talad Says: and one guy which is interested in the art side
Talad Says: and is converting some of our assets from 3dsmax to blender
Talad Says: I would like to abandon 3dsmax completely
Silak says: That should be a great help !
Talad Says: if blender is a real alternative
Talad Says: it seems to a real alternative
Talad Says: but we need more tests on it
Talad Says: the idea is to reuse for now as much as possible from the current PS
Talad Says: and then remake/improve later on
Mordaan Says: At least the test characters run around nicely enough. That's a start.
Talad Says: imagine having current PS in Unreal , and then sttarting to improve each piece
Talad Says: so we can play while we improve it
Talad Says: Im expecting a lot of old players coming back when we launch the unreal version
Talad Says: that's pretty much what we aredoing
Talad Says: another thing we are doing is to move the test server
Talad Says: we have test server where we add content before its released
Talad Says: like new NPC, bosses,....
Gonger says: There are constantly some old players coming back, at least for a while.
Talad Says: we test those there first
Mordaan Says: That's going to help on the dev side tremendously.
Talad Says: we are moving this server to a new one
Talad Says: to have more uptime
Mordaan Says: Not having a test server on demand has slowed things down.
Talad Says: yes
Talad Says: we are encountering some issues at the moment with the installation, but hope to solve it by next week
Silak says: I imagine playing while developing on a wide level, might not scale up in a good way, although it could be a great notion to explore.
Talad Says: any questions?
Silak says: What part of the installation ?
Talad Says: compiling crystal space
Talad Says: it doesnt compile on latest Ubuntu
Talad Says: I'm getting errors in the build
Talad Says: which I dont know yet how to solve
Silak says: Thought that CS was being left behind in UE4
Talad Says: yes
Mordaan Says: right, but the test server would be for the current game
Talad Says: it is
Talad Says: I'm speaking of the test server for the current PS version
Mordaan Says: then we'll have a test server for UE as well (eventually)
Talad Says: on the same machien I think we can have both
Silak says: Ah, my error, sorry
Talad Says: Im thinking we could even have the 2 clients (current and UE) working connected to the same server
Talad Says: and database
Mordaan Says: that would be cool, if it works out well
Silak says: If user load not too heavy.
Talad Says: if nothing else, I will continue on stream
Talad Says: you are welcome to join and listen
Mordaan Says: if the maps are slightly different, NPC movement could be complicated
Gonger says: Thanks for the work.
Talad Says: thanks for playing
Talad Says: see you soon
Mordaan Says: check out the stream if you haven't already.
Talad Says: www.youtube.com/PlaneShiftOfficial/live
Rykia says: It's fun to watch
Talad Says: bye
Rykia says: bye
Silak says: Thumbs up !
Troax says: cool stream
Mordaan Says: Quick meeting. But that was really the only things going on the last few weeks.
Troax says: Thanks. Wil listen more to that stream. cu
Rykia says: Thanks for the updates.
Mordaan Says: And it's good to literally see work being done on UE. Even if my eyes glaze over at a wall of code most of the time.
Rykia says: haha... yes, exactly my thought too Mordaan.
Silak says: It is sure a differerent approach to coding !
Silak says: If never having used the Visual packages.
Mordaan Says: Hopefully as we get things going, there will be a spark of activity with some UE knowledgable folks and the project will pick up steam.
Menille says: Bye everyone!
Troax says: bye
Silak says: Waves
Mordaan Says: bye all o/
Storeas waves goodbye.
Silak waves; off to stream view

Migg says: What a cute little gtoffel!
Damola giggles slightly at the small, cute Emaline game master
Dilihin says: Heyt
Dilihin says: Afk
Mordaan says:  I've poked Talad, not sure if he's available or not.
Mordaan says:  Otherwise, I suppose we can get started.
Mordaan says:  Any questions, you can line up...most of you have attended meet the devs, you know the drill.
Damola says: Hi. I have several related questions, but I will start with one…
Mordaan says:  Hi
Emaline says:  Go right ahead Damola
Mordaan says:  Hi Damola, go ahead
Damola says: … I am coordinating the Stonehead Tavern team and we decided to go by donations. Now… some guests are quite generous. But were to store all the tria? No container I have tried allows me to store tria inside. Not even a jewelry box. And for our guild bank I have other uses as well.
Emaline says:  Tria being placed inside a container is something I'd have to bring up with a dev to see what those posibilites are.
Emaline says:  How possible that would be or how hard it would be.
Mordaan says:  Yeah, the only banking is either individual or guild.
Mordaan says:  As to physically keeping it in game, sounds...risky.
Migg says: still tria in a container can be stolen as easily as without
Damola says: We sure can RP around that limitation, but it would add to the immersion and realism to actually be able to store tria without adding to the lag by hiding stacks of circles behind a potted plant
Emaline says:  Can just keep a book logged with the donations and which char has them, like bookeeping?
Mordaan says:  You may just have to keep it personally and have trust the treasurer.
Migg says: there are some doors in the stonehead, could one of these be turned to a portal leading to a guildhouse?
Mordaan says:  *just trust
Mordaan says:  Yes, there is a pantry there
Migg says: then it could be locked and used for storage
Emaline says:  there is a pantry already there Migg for that.
Migg says: ah
Migg says: is it lockable?
Mordaan says:  yes
Damola says: Sure we can and for now we may do something like that… still it would be nice to have at some point to be able to store tria. Yes, there is a risk, but its also realistic. Ideally one could have a jewelry box with a key, but box without one would do as well, especially in a room that is guarded by a guild house ock
Damola says: *lock
Mordaan says:  Do you have access to the pantry?
Emaline says:  there is no one behind you Damola so go ahead with your next qusetion
Emaline says:  She does.
Mordaan says:  k
Damola looks behind her
Damola shrugs and starts with the next question
Mordaan says:  Rare occasion, you don't have to requeue.
Damola says: Well, the next one is related to that: Economy is kinda broke in PS. Damola doesn´t know where to store her tria and many other chars I bet are stacking millions of tria easily. So I like that there is plenty and I won´t vote to totally go into scarcity, but right now regarding earning and spending tria there is no real balance in game.
Damola says: *not store, but what to buy with her tria
Mordaan says:  True, there has been some conceptual discussions, but nothing has been decided on it.
Damola nods "I bet the topic has been brought up before"
Mordaan says:  Maybe when eonwind gets back, we can start a conversation on ideas.
Talad says:  Hi
Talad says:  sorry for the delay
Damola says: For Stonehead Tavern I have the idea that Belcor may ask for a rent of some kind *hint* *hint* [We could sort something like that out Emaline]
Karmilla says: I think you should charge for engravings and name changes
Mordaan says:  The change in training threw everything out of whack.
Emaline says:  Thats a great idea
Gonger says: What about paying some money for using the smithy, for example? Right now everything is running there just like that.
Damola says: Talad, current question is: Well, the next one is related to that: Economy is kinda broke in PS. Damola doesn´t know what to buy with her tria and many other chars I bet are stacking millions of tria easily. So I like that there is plenty and I won´t vote to totally go into scarcity, but right now regarding earning and spending tria there is no real balance in game.
Ossifus says:  We do charge for engravings, but not a lot. Players who've been around a while won't even notice the cost.
Ossifus says:  We dont' want it to be so expensie that new players can't afford it though.
Emaline says:  I think a lot just RP the amount they actually have
Mordaan says:  It's a big conversation that will involve some thought and a good plan.
Migg says: people who are not maxed don't assimilate tria easily
Ossifus says:  Oh, and I'm Uadjet, for those who don't know. Came right from the market.
Damola says: That may be an idea. RPing an amount.
Migg says: Gender chande...
Migg says: *change
Mordaan says:  Disguise
Karmilla says: But some things have to be expensive, or no point. People should have to save up for an engraving.
Mordaan says:  an incredibly good disguise.
Migg says: fooled me
Damola says: Still some kind of expenses and realism might be nice there. You said… Eonwind be better part of the discussion, so I am willing to hand to the next one.
Emaline says:  Hello Aeghiss go ahead
Aeghiss says: So here is a simple question about contributing.
Aeghiss says: Would it be possible to have a to-do list displayed on the official website so that people willing to contribute know what the devs would like most ?
Emaline looks at Talad
Mordaan says:  Sure, that's a good idea. It may even be a good idea for the devs to compile such a list...for our own sake.
Aeghiss says: I've got feedback that there are way more people willing to help than it appears at first glance but most seem not to do anything for the sole reason they are clueless about what to do.
Emaline says:  ^
Aeghiss says: (whoops sorry Emaline)
Emaline says:  it's okay I think everyone knows I was agreeing with Mordaan
Damola nods "I think it could lower entry barrier for new contributors. Maybe even a list of junior jobs for newcomers."
Talad says:  at the moment the todo is mostly Unreal Engine related
Talad says:  for current PS version, the tasks are new quests and bosses mostly
Talad says:  also we want to work on a main plot
Damola says: There could also be content todos. As… well Unreal Engine will take a time and fresh content can help to keep the current codebase alive and can be taken over to unreal then.
Talad says:  to connect all quests and events in history
Talad says:  Mordaan and Venalan are working on this
Talad says:  its a fairly large project as it involved changes to some of the quests
Talad says:  and new ones
Talad says:  but I think it will be very beneficial at the end
Aeghiss says: That's good to hear.
Talad says:  as it will show to the players why they are in Yliakum
Emaline says:  Sorry guys, gotta bounce, keep asking your questions! Even if you don't get an answer here I'll post the logs on the forums for discussion and try and poke the right devs to get the answers ( I won't forget to post this time-oops!)
Talad says:  and how they arrived
Ossifus says:  There are items without models. Food and armor items, for example.
Talad says:  3d models are always welcome to fill in the placeholders
Talad says:  also we can easily reuse those in Unreal Engine
Talad says:  as those are simple models
Ossifus says:  There we go.
Mordaan says:  heh
Damola giggles "A GM dropping a GM… crazy world of Yliakum."
Migg says: meta-GMing
Gonger says: Greetings to all!
Gonger says: Speaking of the PS website, on the starting page the Bug Tracker Updates have not changed since 07.08.2016. This could give a very bad first impression to people visiting the website. So what would it take to be more up-to-date there?
Mordaan says:  hmm, good spot. I didn't notice that.
Mordaan says:  We'll have to look into fixing that.
Gonger says: Thanks!
Damola says: I also have a question about the website. I also have a kind of preliminary announcement.
Talad says:  I will take a look
Dilihin says: back
Damola says: The forum. Its still on an IP address. Since a long time already. Any time frame to put it back onto a real domain?
Mordaan says:  I have it on hydlaaplaza.com
Damola says: Ah, then the link on planeshift.it is not up to date
Talad says:  andrew was supposed to send me the backup of the forums to move it
Migg says: lots of internal links still point to the IP
Talad says:  but he didnt yet
Talad says:  I will remind him
Talad says:  we need to move the forums somewhere else
Damola says: planeshift.it/Forum links to IP address
Damola nods
Damola says: Okay.
Talad says:  that server is not reliable and not fully managed by us
Mordaan says:  this has worked out...these are mostly questions for Talad.
Damola says: As to the announcement. There is a change in sponsoring. The CEOs of the company I work for sold it to a larger company. It is called Proact Deutschland GmbH. The good news is: We continue the sponsoring. As a next step I will provide new company logos. There may be a domain change for the server at some point, but this may take a while for us to sort out a name.
Talad says:  We are very grateful of the sponsorship
Mordaan nods
Talad says:  also on the fact it continues
Gonger says: Good news, indeed.
Talad says:  so we dont have to redo all documents and trust new people
Damola says: At some point I may ask you for a kind of announcement of the company name change. I will coordinate this with our marketing team. It has been extremely busy.
Damola says: So I think for the next steps just the logo change.
Talad says:  sure
Damola nods
Damola says: I am also happy we continue the sponsoring.
Dilihin says: uih, what i missed?
Damola says: Well there is a mistake there: Our company is now called Proact Deutschland GmbH. Our new mother company is located in Sweden.
Mordaan says:  Questions about the Stonehead and storing tria, a master to-do list for prospects, and some issues about the website.
Mordaan says:  And overall economic balance.
Damola says: Jup.
Dilihin says: in game economic balance i take it?
Mordaan says:  yes
Damola says: yep
Dilihin says: right
Damola says: Any news of devs?
Aeghiss says: If there are no more questions I have a few thoughts which may be worth being discussed here. It's more of feedback and ideas than questions, though.
Mordaan says:  sure, Aeghiss the floor is open
Aeghiss says: Well, it's still about interactions between the dev team and the community.
Aeghiss says: I don't think a game made by non-professional devs can advance without active participation of the community. Unfortunately PS' history seem to validate this.
Aeghiss says: And, the fact is, devs meetings aside it's complicated for the community to interact with you.
Aeghiss says: This is no blaming, uh.
Weruun raises a brow
Damola says: What do you suggest, Aeghiss?
Aeghiss says: I think that trying new ways of communication and not settling for IRC and the devs meeting could help PS progress.
Aeghiss says: Things like Slack, for example.
Mordaan says:  Sure, we can be open to new ways of commnication.
Damola looks doubtful "I don´t think a new chat system would solve much."
Aeghiss says: I think it could make the devs more reachable to players and thus encourage them to actively get involved in PS
Mordaan says:  What we can use, is a PR department, which has been missing for years. That includes anything about relating PS to the community.
Dilihin says: I don't know, IMO irc is most reachable as it is but wouldn't hurt i guess
Mordaan says:  or at least 1 dev dedicated to that.
Aeghiss says: @Damola : IRC has a great flaw : it has no history, and thus players can't interact with the devs if they aren't both before their computers at the same time.
Mordaan says:  step 1, get a dev dedicated to that.
Mordaan says:  Want to volunteer, Aeghiss?
Aeghiss says: @Mordaan : Can you explain PR please ? I'm no native and I doubt I'm the only one who didn't understand that.
Mordaan says:  public relations
Dilihin says: Mordaan i can volunteer
Mordaan says:  just that, getting PS out into the world and keeping it there, as well as anything to do with the relationship between PS and the community.
Mordaan says:  Another example would be moderating the forums.
Mordaan says:  so things like that
Dilihin says: @mordaan i do have few ideas related to these i might suggest later.
Aeghiss says: Well, I am more busy than I had thought I'd be before my year started, but I guess it would still be better than nobody. If Dihilin is more available I'll leave him the seat though.
Dilihin says: or maybe Aeghiss working on it together?
Mordaan says:  Yes, was just typing that.
Aeghiss says: Well, why not.
Dilihin says: less stress for both,eh?
Aeghiss says: Surely. ^^
Talad says:  I read the discussion, but I dont see the suggestion of what to use instead of IRC and meetings
Talad says:  what are you suggesting?
Aeghiss says: Not necessarily instead.
Talad says:  IRC has history anyway if you are logged in
Aeghiss says: Especially I don't want to replace the meetings which are something great imo.
Talad says:  you can enable logs and it will write all logs to files
Dilihin says: most clients even have logs as default on
Dilihin says: *many not most
Migg says: IRC is an old protocol and clients are available on most anything
Damola is concerned that adding another chat system would just split the community. "There are already people on discord."
Aeghiss says: It's not that I want to criticize your choices, but... Don't you think IRC is a bit rusty ? It's almost 30 years old and it didn't change much.
Damola says: So one key aspect of a new chat system would be that it has an IRC bridge if you ask me.
Dilihin says: I actually would want to say that we shouldn't get arried away with this since this can easily escalate to big,long conversation
Mordaan says:  It's like anything, we can experiment and if it takes then great. If not, it was still worth a try.
Damola says: Well dev q&a is coming to an end anyway.
Dilihin says: but i just say that people have different needs, for example i myself only use irc actively so
Dilihin says: also concerning splitting the community, worry not.
Damola has always on IRC using quasselcore server
Dilihin says: we can try bridgeing but i won't comment on it for now so
Aeghiss says: About IRC, I especially think contributors would take advantage of something more suitable for teamwork.
Mordaan says:  Food for thought, and I like the idea of having someone to take on things like this.
Aeghiss nods
Dilihin says: Yeah
Mordaan says:  Like I said, it's a role we used to have that has been vacant for years. And it's probably among the reasons overall visibility of PS has fallen off.
Aeghiss says: Sounds logical.
Dilihin says: Indeed
Dilihin says: Maybe we should discuss in more detail after the meet, no?
Aeghiss says: Sure
Mordaan says:  yeah
Mordaan says:  If there are no other questions, our time is up. Thanks for attending!
Weruun says: Thank you!
Mordaan says:  once again, good questions
Dilihin says: Indeed, indeed
Migg says: Thank you all, bye!
Karmilla says: Bye all
Talad says:  bye
Edico says: Bye Karmilla
Gonger says: Aeghiss, Dilihin, are you still there?
Dilihin says: yes
Dilihin says: Need something?
Gonger says: Well, you mentioned further discussion of PR work.
Dilihin says: Indeed
Gonger says: It is something I am also interested in, and I planned to volunteer for the team as soon as I have some RL trouble sorted out. Which took / takes me longer than I hoped, unfortunately.
Dilihin says: I see
Dilihin says: we are having some discussion about it, feel free to join #planeshift-prospects on freenode
Dilihin says: actually my ideas doesn't only limit to PR, but this would be very very long conversation so not starting it right now.

I knew I was one dev meet behind but apparently, I'm behind by two 


Talad Says: Hello everyone, and welcome to the "Meet the developers" event. It's an OOC meeting, where you can ask questions about the game, give comments or ideas.
Talad Says: If you want to speak, you can walk to the stand in front of us. Please form a queue there in case there are other people. One question each, then you can queue again.
Talad Says: hi
Emaline Says: Hello Mishka
Mordaan Says: pff, hello potted plant
Mairon says: I hope I won`t crash this time..
Karmilla says: [plants have feelings, too. Mordaan]
Mishka says: Hi. I don't want to be controversial but I've seen players get rewards before. Groups like the Skunkworks team that created the leather armor crafting book and quests, players that independently contributed to in game literature, freelance developers that let the game use the assets they made, players submitting events... Would it be possible to acknowledge them, not necessarily writing them down in the credits, but perhaps commending their efforts in game?
Mishka says: People would see them getting cool things for contributing, and perhaps that would make them consider contributing, too, to the best of their abbilities.
Talad Says: adding a in game contributors list in the credits could be ok to me
Mishka says: I think people would rather get cool, unique stuff in game, stuff they can show off even.
Mairon says: You should get a Q5000 ornate crossbow with like 50 damage, Mishka.
Mishka says:
Gonger says: I do not think rewards should be too great. Contribution to the game should come out of conviction, not for paiment.
Migg says: Still, some credit would be nice
Gonger says: Nothing wrong with that, Migg. Agreed.
Maltrobian says: I agree with Gonger and Migg
Mishka says: But that way you would motivate people to contribute. I can see it happening: "How did you get that?" "I wrote a quest" "Cool, how do you go about that to get stuff like that?"
Mairon says: ^
Migg says: Give them a staff like Uadjet's?
Mishka says: It has two sides: you get people to contribute, and even to consider becoming a fully-fledged developer.
Uadjet Says: I agree with Gonger about in-game rewards not really being appropriate. At least not powerful equipment or tools. Maybe a contributor trophy or something? Nothing that gives an advantage, but kept for pride.
Maltrobian says: But, based on your statemnet Mishka, they would only want to do it for a reward.
Migg says: Staff of the Quest Writer
Maltrobian says: ^ lol
Mishka says: And what's wrong with that?
Emaline Says: Not everyone is a great story teller or able to programing so it would be unfair because not everyone would be qualified to earn these rewards.
Uadjet Says: Achievements for Myplane?
Gonger says: There is nothing wrong with giving symbolic rewards, that show the appreciation.
Talad Says: I suggest the gm team collects the requests
Mishka says: Achievements is a good idea.
Migg says: that would be great!
Talad Says: and we can evaluate it
Talad Says: will be nice to have also in game rewards
Talad Says: I'm fine with that
Gonger says: I once received a nice staff, with some CW bonus, but not so high that I would actually use it, for I have better items.
Mishka says: How about trophies for maxing skills too, maybe?
Emaline Says: That would be a lot of trophes for some people and they would have no use for them
Mishka says: Could be a quest checking your skill level, and offering rewards.
Mishka says: Well, yes PLers would have an edge I guess.
Emaline Says: We would spend a lot of time checking peoples stats and making those up for each person for each skill.
Mishka says: Oh, a quest would make it automatic.
Mordaan Says: I'd save those for the myplane achievements.
Uadjet Says: I'm thinking a maxed skill is its own reward, but an achievement...I dunno. That might encourage grinding rather than interacting with other players.
Mishka says: There are quests that check your skill level already. So check your skill level, and offer 2-3 items based on the skill you maxed out.
Tinabobina says: what if people arent on myplane?
Karmilla says: I dont need a reward for my maxed skills
Migg says: lol Uadjet, who took your staff?
Maltrobian says: I wouldn't want them
Uadjet Says: Felt the need for some variety.
Migg says: everyone is on myplane
Mishka says: Some ideas are better than others I guess.
Emaline Says: I agree it would add more achiements., We can look into what it takes to do that.
Uadjet Says: Your stats aren't viewable to others unless you choose to make them so, but all characters are on there.
Emaline Says: Hello Migg
Mairon says: And still no lootable fancy staves in game..
Migg says: Hi!
Tinabobina says: I just thought you had to sign up for it Uadjet
Mairon says: Have to farm Nefas for like forever to get even the Drain staff ><
Migg says: There has been some talk lately on fighting NPCs and kiting and such, and I would like some clarification on what is or isn't allowed
Mairon says: No, please stop.
Talad Says: I think stats should be myplane yes
Talad Says: like an achievement
Migg says: my character is not a warrior, he uses ranged when needed, and takes advantage of everything in the landscape
Mishka says: *cough*coward*cough*
Gonger says: Kiting?
Migg says: he will climb the rock, fool the beast into trying to scale the steep side of the hill
Mishka says: Hit n run Gonger.
Gonger says: Ah, thanks, Mishka.
Karmilla giggles at Mishka's comment.
Migg says: and yes, sometimes the beast will stop at some unseen border and stop following
Migg says: So what is the appropriate way for Migg to use his ranged way of fighting wothout getting killed?
Migg says: *without
Emaline lets Uadjet take this one.
Mishka says: The fact you're asking means you care. You're more okay than the rest of people who kite and abuse the system, Migg
Mairon says: That would somehow depend on Migg`s alignment, wouldn`t it?
Uadjet Says: That's a tricky question to answer, and I know there's been a lot of debate on that topic.
Emaline Says: I think the problem mainly arises when people stand up on the walls in the arena casting at things they would in no way be able to normally kill. Gaining something (skill and PP) for no risk.
(15:30:04) Emaline Says: The arena is made for training.
Emaline Says: In the pits with the mobs.
Mairon says: Like, if he is a strict Xiosia follower, he probably wouldn`t use that oppotrunity.
Karmilla says: Thats training, isnt it?
Mishka says: Kind of an oxymoron.
Uadjet Says: What I'm trying to do is look at each situation and figure out how a real world version of that scenario would play out.
Mairon says: RP-wise, it would be if the beast fell down while running and broke a leg.
Emaline Says: You are not training anything up on the wall where nothing can hit you and the mobs run around and get stuck in walls trying to find a path to you.
Mishka says: So being on top of a rock in the wilderness is fair game, but being on top of the Arena walls isn't?
Migg says: Yes, am I OK climbing that rock?
Damola suggests "Maybe place mobs with wide range attacks in Arena."
Uadjet Says: Most of the time using limits in pathing or geometry wouldn't work IRL. A critter might climb, or if that's impossible it would run.
Migg says: A wolf would stay beneath the tree, unless wounded too much to want to fight
Mishka says: Well, why not make an IC set of rules for the Arena? Maybe written by Gregori. That way players can be punished according a ruleset.
Gonger says: Good thought, Mishka.
Uadjet Says: We had someone recently that was using geometry and pathing limitations to kill mobs safely, when really the critter should have been able to take a single step up and smashed him into a pulp.
Emaline Says: That's something I've been considering, yes.
Mairon says: Usually people kill creatures in the Arena pits not for PPs, but for loot.
Migg says: Perhaps shooting from the walls could trigger an automatic script?
Mishka says: Standing on top of the walls and shooting at the mobs? That's a paddlin'
Igesal says: who even does that, can't get to loot anything killing things standing on walls..
Mishka says: Hoggin' a dummy? That's a paddlin'
Emaline Says: mainly they are farming PPs.
Mishka says: Wasting loot is what they're doing
Mordaan Says: I don't know if identifying that automatically is possible.
Emaline Says: We will have to discuss this rule and figure out something out. thanks for brining it to our attention.
Gonger says: Wasting fun is what they're doing. No risk, no fun.
Migg says: Well, in my experience tria is what is missing more than PPs
Mordaan Says: agreed, PPs aren't as important as they used to be.
Igesal says: but some things like rock at the bottom of zaltok lake shouldn't even be there
Mairon says: Yeah right, such rules would make the game even more restricted and thus interesting to play and engaging, yeah right.
Migg says: OK, the gist is that this only applies to the arena then
Emaline Says: I'll talk to rules about making the river kings spells more powerful.
Mairon says: Zlatac is faster that any mount though..
Gonger says: I like Mishka's idea. It is like with enforcing RP discussion in the forums. How can we justify that a rule is being enforced, if the rule is published only in some more or less obscure spot?
Migg says: thank you!
Mairon says: *than
Emaline Says: Hello Maltrobian
Mishka says: The problem is that people don't know about rules.
Maltrobian says: Hi Emma
Migg says: And Emaline, please don't
Migg says: I remember being killed too much by the river king
Maltrobian says: I have a question about game development, and how I can help
Mairon says: Would UE make it possible to make the riverlings swim?
Mishka says: Get on the line and make that question
Emaline Says: Please get in line Mairon.
Mairon says: Nah, too specific.
Talad Says: UE can really give a facelift to PS
Karmilla points behind her.
Uadjet Says: I believe the engine has native support for...whatever it is we need to make areas swimming areas. Volumetic something?
Talad Says: if you want to help learn Unreal Engine
Talad Says: and then contact me
Mairon says: Thanks Talad.
Maltrobian says: I have no experience with game desgin, nor coding of any kind. What kind of skills would I require to help develope the game?
Maltrobian says: The site makes it to diffucult to even begin to help
Emaline Says: Learning how to use Unreal Engine
Emaline Says: how to create things in it.
Gonger says: Join Settings, Background, Art team.
Mishka says: Is it easy?
Mordaan Says: You don't need much skills for settings. >.>
Mishka says: Given this game is RP-based, you DO need skills for writing quests and lore.
Mishka says: Specially English skills if you're not a native - and in certain cases even if you're a native too.
Emaline Says: Does that answer your question Maltrobian
Mordaan Says: well, for the actual quest design, yes, but you don't need any kind of coding skills to learn it.
Maltrobian says: No, due to the fact that I have no time playing the paper-pencil dungeon master game.
Mishka writes some of her cool maps while people ask questions.
Mishka says: No Maltrobian, it's easier than that.
Emaline Says: Not everyone can help and contrubute and that's okay too Maltrobian.
Mishka says: You start with a workflow diagram for the quest.
Mishka says: Then you fill in the steps with content.
Mishka says: Your fellow devs review and proofread what you made, while you learn.
Mairon says: Just like in coding
Maltrobian says: Are there age restrictions?
Emaline Says: But that's how one would be able to help and contrubuite. Learn how to use the UE and or check out Venalan's post about writing quests for the game.
Mishka says: The only difference is that quests work. Most of the time.
Emaline Says: those would be two simple ways.
Emaline Says: Anyone can write quests.
Maltrobian says: I mean to submit an application
Maltrobian says: For settings team
Emaline Says: That information is on t he main site.
Emaline Says: or you can join IRC #planeshift-prospects and talk to them in there.
Mordaan Says: or come up with some plans for things like shadowcasters, or how we can have those staves be rewards for something, etc.
Maltrobian says: Damn. I am 2 years too young.
Mishka says: You can start by contributing as a freelance writer, and offering your stuff to Venalan to pretty up and submit in his name.
Mairon says: There`s no one on IRC though..
Migg says: You don't have to drink Maltrobian
Mishka says: You'd be the author, but he'd be the publisher
Maltrobian says: I am 16
Maltrobian says: It says 18 on the application
Emaline Says: Not for just writing quests
Emaline Says: Venalan has a post on the forums about it or you can talk to people in prospects chan and they will guide you
Mairon says: Who is the most active member on PS IRC?
Mordaan Says: yep
Emaline Says: Mairon again get in line.
Maltrobian says: Okay. Thank you guys so much.
Emaline Says: Irrelevent questions.
Talad Says: we would like to get mature contributors
Mishka says: Everyone can write and submit quests and events. Just ask for the guidelines. It's easy, rewarding on itself, and helps you get better at writing.
Talad Says: mainly becasue we dont want to waste each other time
Karmilla says: Hello.
Emaline Says: there is a huge forum post from Venalan all about it.
Talad Says: but we can make exceptions based on people attitude and skill
Mairon says: Why, Emaline? I had the same question as Maltrobian.
Karmilla says: My question is about pp's. Once you max your stats they just accumulate forever.
Mishka says: Mature doesn't necessarily mean 18+. A 14yo can be more mature than a 32yo
Emaline Says: He's asking how to contrubute, your asking who is active on irc.
Migg says: ^
Mishka says: hear hear
Emaline Says: That's why Talad said we can make expetions based on skill.
Mairon says: I want to contribute - I visit IRC - there`s no one there - I quit
Karmilla says: If there was a way to spend them, or even convert to cash or resources. Id love that.
Emaline Says: This has been talked about before Karmilla, and I think they discussed a few ideas on things but I'm not sure if they came to anything final
Mordaan Says: Yeah, you sometimes have to hang around awhile to get a response. It won't always be immediate.
Migg says: Cash!
Igesal says: there's always someone on irc =.=
Talad Says: the main UE site has plenty of tutorials
Emaline Says: There are also several rooms on IRC where we hang out in, so depending on who or what your looking for.
Mairon says: I know just the main (2-3 folks) and Shindrok ones (no one at all)
Karmilla says: Even if you have to save for a while to get anything worthwhile. At least they wouldnt be useless like they are now.
Mairon says: *2-3 online
Migg says: the new UE code is up somewhere?
Emaline Says: the main irc room usually has about 20 people in it.
Gonger says: Mairon, this is why people should queue up - we know have several question-answer threads running in parallel.
Gonger says: *now
Emaline Says: I'll poke the devs about the PP thing again, it might just be low on the list is all.
Mairon says: Whoa, PS police arrived
Mishka says: Are you done?
Emaline Says: Yes Mishka ?
Mishka says: Karmilla
Mishka says: Oh nevermind
Karmilla says: Yes?
Mishka says: IRC seems dead, but that's just because people are old-school folks it seems. Would there be an interest in a Discord server? Discord is a platform made for gamers, and with the right bot implementation there could be an IRC-Discord feedback as well.
Karmilla says: Yes, that sounds good
Damola is old skool IRC type. Matrix could be interesting as its free *and* has a protocol stack *and* an IRC bridge.
Karmilla says: And you can leave messages if noone is online.
Emaline Says: IRC pretty much got replaced by having a gossip chan in game. Adding another out of game chat area just takes away from the RP and in game chat.
Damola says: Thing is setting up another chatsystem without a bridge will split chat communities.
Mishka says: I have created a Discord server, and while I'm setting it up people could still join.
Emaline Says: That's why it's dead. It's mostly used by people who don't play anymore and want to keep tabs or by the team.
Mishka says: Look at it this way Emaline
Emaline Says: That's something for Talad to decide if he wants an offical PS discord really.
Mishka says: Imagine you have an event coming up. You drop on Discord and ping people with a @here taf
Mishka says: tag*
Mishka says: Well, while it's not considered official, it's still open for anyone who'd like to join.
Mishka says: So PM me for an invite.
Igesal uses irc, just doesn't type much in it
Migg uses IRC too
Mordaan Says: I'm on irc 24/7, just obviously not always in front of my keyboard
Talad Says: I think IRC is lighter and easier
Talad Says: Discord can be nice for voice chat
Talad Says: if players want to use it in game will be good
Talad Says: for whisper communication
Igesal says: the bigest disatvantage of discord is that you can leave messages to people offline there, very annoying
Mishka says: In the server I created there are channels for every city. Announcements can be made there, for events and such.
Mishka says: Players can arrange IC meetings there before getting in game, or setting up times where they'll be able to play together, saving the timezone gap.
Karmilla says: Why is tat a disadvantage, Igesal?
Karmilla says: that*
Migg says: you can do that on IRC as well
Damola wonders about announcement made in discord that every player not using it will simply miss then
Emaline Says: We already announce events on 3-5 platforms.
Damola will still just hint at in-game-events in gossip channel
Emaline Says: Not to mention in gossip and world shouts shrotly before.
Mishka says: Plus, you can use Discord on your phone, with their own app and not a 3rd party one
Mairon says: Voice communication in PS, wow
Emaline Says: That would break imersion for RP...
Talad Says: I think just to gather people its ok
Mishka says: That.
Talad Says: but should not substitute main chat
Damola says: yes.
Mishka says: Of course there would be operators monitoring that.
Mairon says: What if someone talks Dermorian or Enki language on Discord, Emaline?
Mairon says: Would it be OOC?
Mishka says: Anything not happening in game would be considered OOC.
Mairon says: That would even expand the immersion.
Damola imagines impersonating Andromaleficius again and what voice that would be
Mordaan Says: Actually speaking a PS language conversationally? That's hard core!
Migg says: tougher than klingon!
Mairon says: By the way, someone deleted a Lemur/Xacha language file from the site, could you please bring it back?
Mordaan Says: If its somewhere to be brought back, sure.
Mishka says: Glaciusor was fluent in Enkien.
Mairon says: Yes Igesal, on the wiki
Talad Says: from which site?
Talad Says: the pswiki?
Uadjet Says: planeshift.top-ix.org/pswiki/
Mairon says: It redirects to the main
Damola wonders about how spread out all those things are…
Uadjet Says: Ah, it points to planeshift.it/download/xacha_alphabet.zip from the Lemur page
Mairon says: ^
Damola says: wiki.planeshift.it would be nicer
Mordaan Says: but it's not hosted on that server
Mordaan Says: though we can make a redirect
Mairon says: Where is it then?
Damola says: subdomain of planeshift.it could point to different IP address
Damola says: I think all in one place… and also a forum with DNS name around or at least a redirect like forum.planeshift.it
Igesal says: oh, there is nolthrir languea, how cute ><
Damola says: it would make things more accessible
Mordaan Says: yeah
Mairon says: So the file with Lemur language got snatched by the Black Flame than?
Mairon says: *then
Uadjet Says: Was there somethign about Nolthrir using the Dermorian alphabet?
Uadjet Says: There was a conversation about underwater races and writing, I think.
Mishka says: Excuse me, I have things to do tomorrow.
Karmilla says: they are both elves, it would make sense
Mairon says: So where`s the file?
Uadjet Says: I suppose they could use carvings. Could have underwater races use things like seaweed quipu.
Talad Says: Hi,
Talad Says: sorry I have to leave
Talad Says: but I let you continue if you want
Mairon says: I guess it was just renamed
Emaline Says: I think we are done here with the meeting.
Mordaan Says: bye Talad
Mordaan Says: I'm sure it can be found somewhere in backups. We'll have to look.
Mairon says: Thank you.
Mordaan Says: Thanks for attending, everyone.
Damola says: Thank you.
Tinabobina says: thank you
Gonger says: Thanks for the work.
Karmilla waves
Migg says: Thanks everyone!
Migg says: Thanks for the game, and the events!

So the hospital was robbed and a lot of items and books were taken that were donated over time and written by players. The food and potions, albeit low to rob from a charity hospital, can be easily replaced.

What can not be easily replaced are the books and signs made by players. Luckily a few of them had been saved by other players and we were able to restore those and lock them down, though there are still some books and signs that are missing.

If you have any of the items listed below because you donated them once or had a copy for whatever reason and are able to donate them, please let us know so we can restore them and have them locked down. Thanks!

The following books and maps are still missing:

• Do Not Drink Spirits! (map, player made sign)
• Chopper Man (book, collaboratively written by players)
• Klyros - The Comming (book, player written)
• The Three Laws of Herbalism (book, player written)
• On the Hazards of Potion Mixing (book, GM event prop)
• The End of Martin the Ugly (book, player written)
• Martin The Masked's First Step (book, player written)

If you want to donate any items to the hospital to help with their loss I suggest contacting any member of the healers’ council.

Anysu, Sacho, and Fesara are a few members that I can think of off the top of my head that are active and would take the donations and see to it that we got them locked down. Ravynne has been supplying food to the hospital and is also active, so contacting her about donations to the hospital is an option as well.

Recent experiments in enchanting mirrors have shown interesting - and disturbing - results. What direction with the experiments take now?


Continuation of this event

The Shadow Squadron Executors are in the area and looking for new recruits with the right skills and....mindset.
