Howdy pardners,
We have a few notes about character creation and updates, an addition to the rules, a policy update, and a player survey.
- We have formalised our policy on children’s attendance at Consequence.
Please note, we’re aware this is topical at the moment and some of the conversations have caused some people stress and anxiety. We’ve taken care to create a policy that is as reasonable as possible and aren’t inviting public conversations about it, however you are welcome to send feedback to us at consequencelarp@gmail.com. - We have updated our Expectations document. This includes the new policy on children’s attendance.
- We are introducing a CAPSTONE option for players who choose not to pursue one of the Hidden Classes. Once you reach level 3 in a Regular Class you can spend 1XP to make it a Capstone. You can only buy a Capstone once for each Regular Class. This allows you to purchase any 2 abilities from the Capstone list (regardless of Archetype or Class). You can only buy an ability from the Capstone list once, so you can only choose abilities you haven’t previously purchased.
- Taking a Capstone Level is only available to characters who have no levels in a Hidden Class. Additionally, these characters will not be able to purchase Hidden Class levels in the future.
- Because of this change to the rules, we are allowing existing players to change what they spent their game 2 XP on. For example, if you previously purchased a Hidden Class, you can swap it out with Capstones if you wish.
- You may keep 1XP “in reserve” (for game 3 only) for a Hidden Class if you think you might want to take one. This would allow you to use any Hidden Class skills you learn in game 3 immediately, without needing to wait until the following game. This is the only game we will let folks “bank” XP for a Hidden Class. This is being allowed in the interest of fairness for new players, or players who missed Hidden Class introductions last game.
- Hidden Classes can only be introduced to your character by a GM or NPC. While you may learn about Hidden Classes from other characters, you must attend a relevant scene with a GM or NPC before purchasing a Hidden class. Opportunities to participate in these scenes will be available during the course of game 3.
- We have created a rules addendum that contains the updated information about Hidden Classes and Capstones. Note: Version 3.0 of the rules will contain this information, and will be published as soon as we finish rebuilding and reformatting the document. information about Capstones.
If you are an existing player and make changes to your character sheet, please tag the GMs to let us know what changes you’ve made.
If you are a new player, please tag the GMs to let us know once your sheet is final and ready for our review.
We ask all players to have their sheets finalised by the end of December 2024.
Lastly, because we’re new GMs, we have a few questions to help us understand the expectations and anticipations of our players. This is an optional survey, but we’d be grateful if you could take a few moments to share your thoughts and experiences with us. Please complete this survey by the end of November if possible.
