One more:
If you want transfer your character from the old syraandor database please email
reneerules@gmail.com
Have the subject line say:
"transfer to new NH game" or "transfer out of the old nh database".
It's worth noting that when requesting to have your character transfered, you should follow up with Renee', just to make sure she has gotten your email.
With all the varying types of email out there, it's not uncommon for some addresses to be listed as spam.
I would also recommend not waiting until the last minute to have your character transferred, as that is fun for no one.
Okay folks, here's the info on where we will be playing. HOWEVER, I want you all to know that we have purposely kept this information off the boards in an attempt to help aid in a few surprises that may be coming. Specifically so, we would hope that you not look up pictures of the sites so that these surprises will be better for your first In Game experience. If you want and are able to find pictures on the net, (I had a hard time myself), by all means, but if you see something cool, we humbly ask that you keep it to yourself so everyone can have a memorable time. That being said, as we approach the first event we will post more info as to amenities. Rest assured, we anticipate everyone will have a comfy place to sleep. (Though hundreds of players showing up would be great, I can't guarantee you will all have a bed with those numbers.) Here are the locations...
Lone Tree Scout Reservation - Main Event Site
Located at 12 West Shore Park Road
Kingston, NH off Route 125
Bear Brook State Park & Campground - Summer Event Site
Location: Off NH Rte 28, Allenstown, NH
SYRAANDOR LCO ITEM TRANSFER POLICY:
It has been decided that the LCO items and scrolls from Syraandor will be honored at AllianceDeadlands. Please read this entire message if you have anything you want to bring in.
Before anyone asks, let me attempt to field some questions that I'm guessing are going to pop up.
Gobbies don't transfer, but don't worry, there are plenty of ways to make new ones. We still need lots of things.
If a scroll or item ran out between the last NH game and now, sorry. There's nothing I can do for you.
If you have something to transfer, you have to bring the tag to either the first or second event, or you can mail it to me any time between now and the first event. My address is on the chapters list. Don't forget to include your name and you character's name with the tag. ALSO, you have to bring the item that the tag corresponds with to either the first or second event. Please don't mail the item to me. I won't be accepting items and/or tags after the second event. Contact me via
alliancedeadlandsnh@gmail.com
if this is a problem for you, or if you have any questions.
If you threw out an item or tag thinking there was no hope of using it, sorry. I can do nothing for you. Feel free to donate and buy LCO items off the list we'll have in April.
Lastly, and this is the most important: Do not attempt to take advantage of this switch over. If I have any reason to suspect that someone has made up their own item or tag, and attempted to pass it in as legit, I will investigate. I still talk to Shane, and I have Dan, Ray and Corey on staff. If it turns out that someone has passed in a bogus tag or item, that person will be permanently banned from the game.
RESTRICTED ITEM TRANSFER POLICY:
Alliance Deadlands is currently accepting restricted items from all active Alliace chapters. However, the management reserves the right to refuse any transfered item at any time.
AGE POLICY:
You must be at least 16 years of age to play at Alliance Deadlands. If you are below the age of 18, your legal release must be signed by a parent or guardian. (Everyone must sign a legal release before playing.)
Membership:
You are not charged a membership fee for your 1st event at Alliance Deadlands (PC or NPC)
Single event membership: $5.00
Year membership (one calendar year): $20.00
Event:
Players who pre-register: $45.00
Door price: $60.00
Faire Day:
Players who pre-register: $20.00
Door price: $30.00
Alliance Deadlands only accepts pre-registration payments through paypal.
Unfortunatly, we cannot accept any form of debit or credit cards at the door, cash or personal checks only please.
Here is the initial props list. I know that some people have already agreed to work on some of this stuff and I greatly appreciate it. However, we will need a lot of everything, and I have no problem getting even more help.
If you are planning on donating something from this list, or if there is something not on this list that you think would be really cool, please email me and let me know as soon as you can. I would hate to see us get 300 swords and no makeup.
Also, whenever possible, I would ask that whatever you donate come with a clear, watertight if possible, container to store it in. Obviously, if you are only donating one pair of elf ears, you shouldn't worry about it, but if you are donating 20 tabards, we ask that you also donate a large clear Rubbermaid tote box to store them in. Don't feel that without this container we won't graciously take the tabards; it would just help out a lot to have pre-determined storage for items so that we aren't scrambling to get everything packed up.
Also, for you artistically talented people out there, (yes, I mean you), please feel free to donate something not on this list. For example, if you can make an amazing open cell wand or intricately carved wooden box but you don't know if we could use it, trust me, we can. Gary has informed me that he has been known to write whole events based on some really cool item he saw. Now, there are no guarantees that you'll get a weekend written because you donated a kickass man-bag, but you never know. Basically the more interesting it is, the better the chances it will become some really nifty IG item of sorts. This also includes artwork, such as period paintings and so on. Be creative, the more creativity that goes into this, the better it will be.
Bear in mind there are things we will need that are not on this list, simply because they haven't occurred to me yet, or they come from vague concepts at this point. An example of this would be that we would love to get Period decorations of sorts. Think about what turns a normal present day building into an incredible IG tavern and donate those items to get us there. Easy to hang wall sconces. Those hanging cauldron lights that look like flame. Tapestries, period mugs, small authentic looking barrels, whatever it may be. We want the feel of this game to be so real that you are either peeing your pants or saving the world in every moment, with all other possibilities in between.
And lastly, in case I haven't stressed it enough, please email me with what you would like to donate or ideas of things to be donated.
I look forward to speaking with you all in regards to whatever questions, comments or concerns you may have.
Thank you all in advance for your assistance in creating what is sure to be an amazing chapter with an amazing environment.
