I spy...

I saw a Legends player unexpectedly today at his place of employment. That's always funny to me.

Photos?

So, I think I saw someone (James?) roaming with a camera during the event. Are those photos going to be put up at some point? Someday, I'd love to have photographic evidence that I actually played this game... :)

pipe foam

I know many of you have been having a hard time finding the proper thickness of Pipe insulation to use on your weapons, so I decided to start a post where we can all list places we know of to find it.

Remember: all of your legends weaons need to be made with pipe insulation that has a 5/8 inch wall.

Places that I know of:

Pachenco hardware in Stoughton MA

Coolidge hardware on Mt. Auburn st. in Watertown MA

FREE AD+D 2nd edit. books...

Cleaning like nuts - figured I'd post here first - if anyone collects old D+D for some bizarre reason and wants these books and "boxed adventure sets" they are yours, I'll bring em to the next event. There are AD+D 2nd Edit DM guide, players handbook, and fighters handbook. Also a ton of Ravenloft books (I can email a list), also 3 Ravenloft boxed adventure sets, 2 greyhawk. Email me or reply if interested! Otherwise it is Craig's list and then SEE YA in the trash!

Steam & Cinders

As Steve and John mentioned at the end of game, I currently own and operate a LARP out of Georgetown, MA. Below is the link:

If you like Gaslight Fantasy/Steampunk, this LARP is for you. We need players and staff.

Cheers, Jonathan

Give us your pels NOW!

Just a quick note that I opened up pels. If you dont have the ability to enter a pel, it is because you did not pre reg and I didn't input you manually. Please email me in this case. Free roast beef sandwiches-

Thanks and quotes.

Just wanted to repeat the thanks that went out to the staff at the end of game. In tough circumstances, you guys did a great job. And special props to the new staff! I would never have guessed some of you had never LARPed before. Bravo, and thanks again.

Now, quotes. Who's got 'em?

"What do you people *dream* about?!?!" -- the Benefactor, while fending off a nightmare skeleton and a nightmare shadow troll

"Who's the nightmare now?" -- Mallinok-Rotas after dropping a nightmare

Out of game: John B: "I wanted to see how many spell packets I could fit in my hand. I got 32!" Alex: "32? Pansy."

prettiest princess.

this is just giving clout to the argument that jon singer is the prettiest princess ever. e.v.e.r. so fancy and delicate. right until he mauls your face off.

...jon, please don't kill me.

Crafty? Talented? Disposable income?

Are you crafty? Do you know how to make things from nothing? Are you artistic? do you enjoy the scent of latex and paint? Most importantly, do you have disposable income?

If so, then Legends needs you! Thats right, you!

As you can tell from previous posts, Legends needs a new set of uber cool Fury wings. We also need a brand new and slightly more than awesome ogre costume. Unfortunately at some point in the past some staff member and some players volunteered to repair our old ones.... and those costumes have not been seen since.

We need all new ones and we need our Legends community to help out. At this time we can not really afford to build these on our own (and most of our staff would have no idea how) so we need our legends family members to help out. There will be large amount of CP's available to any who think they are up to the challenge, as well as some other neat little in-game benefits.

Please DO NOT just make these things and show up at the NPC center with them. Please coordinate with myself or John ahead of time and we will get back to you with specifics.

Thank you, Steven Weinacht

Announcing Greggory Nolan Hauger

I'm sorry I haven't gotten this post up earlier but the last three weeks have been a little crazy.

As many of you know, I was absent this Spring from the game due the arrival of my son. He was born on July 1st at 4:19 PM at Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston, Maine. He was 8 lbs 8 oz & 21" long at birth.

Now, three weeks later he is 9 lbs 8 oz & 22". He will certainly be a big boy. I suppose he couldn't escape that given the size of his pop. His last check up gave him a glowing report and mom is doing very well, too.

I miss you all and wish you all the best. I'm still trying to figure out how I might make a cameo appearance at a game in the future, but with gas expenses and a new little bundle of joy to look after it's going to be tough for a while. Keep in touch.

All the best!

Benediction Disks and Greater Beneditcion disks

I know there has been some changes and a lot of confusion over benediction discs lately, and I would like to try and clear that up now. Benediction discs work as follows:

This ability gives the character the ability to use Benediction Disks (a small white disk) to grant a favorable aura with which to go to Death. This can only be cast on a dead body, not on a living being or an eidolon. After casting, place the White Disk in the hand of the corpse. Each time this ability is purchased, the character gains an additional Benediction Disc for the event. These Discs are physical items and may be transferred, stolen, etc. The magic on these Disks decays over time, so they may not be kept between events. However, you may cast as many benedictions during the event as you currently have disks for. (Please turn in all disks at check-out) Characters may learn to deliver other effects via Benediction Discs. Please note that possessing a benediction disc does NOT grant you the ability to cast the spell. A Shaman with the Benediction skill must still cast the spell.

This is sort of a hybrid between the different ways it has worked in the past. I hope the explanation is clear enough, if not, feel free to ask questions and I will try to answer them.

If anybody out there has the Greater Benediction skill, please let me know via email so I may add the skill to your page.

Thank you, Steven Weinacht

Elementalists

Hello folks.

Would anyone who is currently playing an Elementalist, or has played an Elementalist with the current or previous iterations of the system please contact through my e-mail address linked above?

I'm primarily looking for some feedback on the system in general from people who have experience with it.

Thanks for your time!

Quick Question

OK, this is a two parter actually - I though it might be fun to have a Mister and Miss New Galen Pageant. I'm thinking it should be silly and entertaining, perhaps something to do in the slow time in the afternoon Saturday. We're talking sahes and tiaras, and that's just for Heymesh. :)

However, I am a bit concerened that some people might not like this, and I don't want to piss anyone off (or make them uncomfortable. Also, this won't be a beauty pageant. I'm thinking tests of talents (singing, music, whatnot), skills, fighting, and no swimsuit competition (again, sorry Heymesh ;).

The second part - should I still call it the New Galen Pageant?? Since we aren't technically being controlled by them... though it is still the name of the town, and I have interest in changing the name.

Ideas? Comments? Questions? Objections?
