Harpeah: The Beginning

To The Weather Temple we go!

Lena The Water Elf — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 21:23:01 GMT

Lena/Sere rode on Kruse's back as they headed towards the Weather temple, with Syn asleep in a sling on her back.
"You know, since we have the Shadow pendent couldn't we like Shadow step to the Weather temple? it would take less time " She said to Kruse thinking about having to drop off some of her stuff pretty soon her pockets were getting a bit full.

Website down (and downtime?)

Storyteller — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 20:42:14 GMT

Just a reminder, You all can do down time stuff here. There should be plenty. I need to put up a synopsis too for the things on the weekend.

Also, the website for clans is currently down as I forgot that I needed to renew the domain hosting name.. and spent the money on CoH instead (OOPS!) so as I scramble up 20 bucks, the clans website's down ;P I'll fix it soon..

K?

Wooty.

Back to Town -Post Dec 21st LARP-

Lena The Water Elf — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 17:39:28 GMT

After the journey to DreamWood Forest and the Earth Temple and who knows where..., Lena (whom for all intensive purposes will become her sister Serenity 'Sere' against her wishes tomorrow) journeys back to town for one last day before her life will be completly messed up. Lena sighs as she pops out from the water of which she used to travel from, her blue cloak trailing behind her. She grumbled under her breath how she was going to get back at her sister...somehow. But for now she had to ...

Two days before Amon-Avani's tent-

Leix — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 09:09:03 GMT

Yoko hears the small Pixie speak to the group, she clutches the front of her breasts and turns back to the First Valley. She didn't say a word, except looked at Hesper and then to Kael as she scrambled off. She was a bit of a klutz, but just in case she used Hide Path to cover her tracks, though anyone could follow her from miles away. On her way, she picked up herbs she thought she might need in the near future but never stalled long enough to lose time. She stopped in front of ...

NEW THREAD? for OOC CHATTER

:: Katoma Directs people to this topic board:: OK FOLKS!!!! This is where OOC Chatter really goes :: grins and nods:: Yep yep. this is where you need to be able to talk or interact with me and my Mun. (mun- mundaine, aka KC 1.0) This is where Kruse 1.0 and Jermy, Sarah, Robby Roo and others go to chat about stupid stuff, etc. (and yes, most of what Kruse says is stupid... :: clears throat:: ) OH did i think that aloud? :: giggles and scampers off and away from the Krusey poopoo::

Exploring the Light Temple (Christmas Downtime)

Storyteller — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 21:56:41 GMT

The Forests of Sorrow were dark, and oppressing for those who didn't have the natural ability to light. Like streams of sunlight filtering through the trees, unicorns and other spirits of light moved through the forest like wisps of dream. In the Middle of the forest of Sorrows there is a small villiage that serves as the hub for all activity. The scouts and warriors patrol the forest, but it is the village, sheltered from the harsh weather by the very trees that make their homes, they live in ...

Merry Christmas!

Players post character reflections / game synposises below this one for Extra EXP!!!! okay real quick running through the plot, there was a council meeting, the Air people stepped up and said they can't find zaman, so they made Cuan Air Council in his stead.

Storyteller — Sat, 06 Dec 2008 19:45:27 GMT

----- This section is for the inevitiable meeting of the Council. All Members of the populace are welcome, but few ever chose to arrive. There are however, notable differences this meeting.. One, Some of the more prominant dragons, unicorns (light) and salamanders are there, lounging in the upper rows... Likewise, a contingent of dwarves and elves are both showed up from their respective cultures and are on opposite sides of the ampatheater. Other groups are also there, both from clans closer ...

Game Announcement- LARP (DEC 21)

Storyteller — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 20:53:16 GMT

Hi Guys and Gals! I've decided that the majority of people playing are LARP Style.. and it's working, very few of the internet people (read: Chris) have even bothered to post since we started that I can't grab physically (read: Erika).. and poor Chris is a busy, busy boy.. So.. The majority of game play is going to be shifting from Online / Forums ... to... LARP STYLE! So, every 3rd Sunday of the month, I and my character closet are going to invade the wonderful sanctuary of ...

In Town- Coming down the Mountian.

Storyteller — Sat, 06 Dec 2008 21:37:23 GMT

(Taken from "The Beginning" Thread...) As Kruse comes back into town, he will change to human form and go to the nearest dragon and say, "What is going on here? I want you to tell me everything that has happened since this morning when a small child ran through the dragon camps from the river!" The nearest dragon turned it's head and blinked a bit before replying in a very monotone voice. " That's a lot of information, Grandmaster." The dragon tossed it's ...

Flying To Camp

Storyteller — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 20:45:13 GMT

As Kruse heads for camp, he spots a silk scarf fluttering from a tree. Obviously a woman's scarf it's in the mouth of a large, black panther, resting on a tree and watching the dragon fly from the mountain with a bored look..

In The Beginning - LARP Synposis and Questions/ Corrections

Storyteller — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 20:43:04 GMT

Clans LARP game Synopsis. It's fair to say the evening Started on Kruse. He had just finished his last level of training, and for all intents and purposes become a grandmaster of fire in his own right- when Walker decided that it was time for Kruse to return to Harpeah and join the other dragon. The evening was perfect for crossing into Harpeah from earth- the main gate had opened and it wouldn't take very much, if any time manipulation for him to use the opening portal, twist it, and send ...

((OOC Instruction: Post your characters entering the valley here. Be that alone, or with your character's clan- depending on your character's mindset. Your character's "Clan" may only be really your character and their mentor. If your going it alone- that's fine too. Keep in mind the more NPCs you "handle" the more information you'll probably be slipped by the St- and may get drawn into trouble to deal with their issues as well. It's a double edged blade. This area and ...

Inside the Fortune Tellers Tent- Beginnings Thread.

Storyteller — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 02:29:56 GMT

The inside of the tent was dark, so dark that even Hespers innate glow didn't do much to pierce it. A woman was leaning on the edge of a table. She had one leather clad hip on the edge of the table, balancing against it while she twirled three orbs in her fingertips. "So... it's you.. that sort of figures.." She snorted, tossing her slightly pointed and elvish chin toward the enterance of the tent. "Well you can just dance right back out of here light-sib. I have no need of a seers ...

Storyteller — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 20:42:28 GMT

***************In Camp: After the Earthquake:********************* Haldis drops to her knees, her silvery brown hair pooling around her as she pants for breath. The powers she invoked obviously used quite a bit out of her. The Dragons, looking at eachother, and then at the first guardian all slowly back away.. Most of them take to the air- to return to the Dragon Isles, but some remain to see what Kruse would do to the first Guardian when he discovered she- in fact- banished one of his dragons.. ...

Not a storyteller post :)

Just a personal one. *I* Nailed my job back for the fall semester at the college I work at doing webdesign. It's a good thing, because now I can save up money for my end of the whole camping excursion. Assuming the state of california doesn't screw me over with financial aid and I have to shell out 2K for this semester's learnings I also have, it looks like, the entire month of january to myself n my munchkin. So, that means during the days for like three weeks, I can focus almost all ...

Game- Post Announcement?

Storyteller — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 16:55:37 GMT

Opps! See I should never leave my house.. then people wouldn't get announcements like this... On Saturday/Sunday I went up to Jeremy, KC n Rob's place to kick it and put miles on my car. (Yeah, I did it on purpose) and ended up running two games- for them and Sarah.. and hopefully a new blood-healer so people don't have to bribe my npc healer in the future But we'll see if he joins us in the online sphere of doom. SO yes, as soon as I go do the student/mom thing, sometime this afternoon ...

Games- forums or chatrooms. I want votes my dears- one or the other, or do we want to do a mix of both?

I'm going to post the first of the main Part Two stuff RIGHT NOW. In First Valley. The only IC section. I'm going tomake a section for literary posts- that's for posts that are either chatroom logs 'or' summeries of chatrooms ...

Hey guys, Yeah, me again, the mysterious vanishing ST. Life has such a way of taking over me between work, school and my family (which has litterally taken me away from this..)

Okay real quick poll here. I'm going to finish the tutorials in perhaps a whirlwindish fashion this week and starting tomorrow (monday) I'm openning up the mainrooms for plotlines... You have choices to contuine on with training 'or' be seperate n working on gaining your own status and abilities outside of the shadow of a master or mistress. Now. It's obviously going to be a bit of wiggle room because my idea for the tutorials.. didn't work out so hot.. (wee..) but I think we can still ...

ChatRoom RP?

For everyone feeling like this is going to slow.. I'm with you! So let's toss around some days/times for some chatroom RP.. scenes and things that can happen with whatever characters show up that night to move both plotlines around and to just have some fun. They will be part of the tutorial set up (which finishes in the end of october!) so these will be past scenes to sort of do character building.. which by the way, is what we're doing in the tutorials. it's why it bounces around. ...

Camping or Cabin?

Storyteller — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 19:17:07 GMT

So we've been throwing around ideas on what to do. Camping is more flexible for everyone, because we can get a site, and everyone can be responsible for getting their own-selves a place to crash... or we can all pitch in X ammount of dollars and I'll get someone to personally coordinate /help me figure out how to squish everyone into availble tents and how many we'll have to buy to help balance the place. I'm thinking this is going to run most people 60-80 dollars for the weekend (Give or ...

Posts and Tutorials..

Alright, so It came up today that well.. things are progressing and people are curious as to what's going on. Already two other players are getting sucked into tutorials at various levels. So. My question to you lot is.. would you like to see the tutorials publicly viewable? (But perhaps not posting? Just looking?) Or shall we contuine the way they are, private until your out of the tutorial sections and into the massive fray that is the game itself? let me know!

In addition, if everyone could email me a quick note, I'll send you back the location of your charactersheet on the website. This is the offical character sheet with all changes and concerns in red. Green are storyteller notes and are not accessed on your character (Like future spells) By October ...

Dates We have plenty of time at this point to talk about Dates. I know people need time to save up. (100 dollars or 500.. it just takes time to add this stuff up together..) If we do this in March- that's 7 months to pool, scrimp and save money for the weekend. That should be enough time to give everyone a chance, or at least, a rough chance! to get enough money together to do this. Erika and I (Sorry >< I love the rest of you too!) have a common "weekend" over spring ...

In an effort to cut down time, and confusion.... If your a slower player (you know who you are) try to only post in one thread at a time in the public forums. Also try to avoid huge screaming scenes were you can't just stand back and watch.. It's sort of a respect thing and sort of a I don't want you to get run over when fast people zip through. Secondly, if your a fast player in a scene with a slower player, don't run over them!!! Fast players can have up to three threads open, just ...

Currently our time line is 1804 of the Founding Era. You are welcome to play before this time, (this will be happening during the tutorials at various points.) and anytime between the end of the tutorial, and 1804 you can also play with other people. Just make sure of 2 things. 1) You both know when your characters reached an age where they both might of been in the same area.. and 2) that you both aren't double-timelining. In otherwords, during fall 1711, if your recooperating in ...

Alright, Since the first person (Chris) completed a character sheet and we started working on the Tutorial for his character, I have fleshed out my ideas on a tutorial system. Namely, This is going to be an introduction to our game, how your characters came to be involved with your individual clans, and so forth. This is a mandatory "course" in how to play clans. I do this because this will be the single time I will hand hold any player and guide them through. It also assures 'me' ...

It's a pretty simple system that I think most beginning (and advanced) players can utilize to the best of their ablities. It's called the "Draft" System.. and while I don't have the link to their website (gerf) I do know I have their documents! >.< I will be putting up my adjustments, as well as the system in the next few days on the website companion to this site.

Welcome. Over the next few days I will be putting together a website, as well as various tools for this game. There is no "start" date to the game, I figure we shall all just play it by ear. This is going to be a forums and chatroom mixed game. That is to say, some scenes simply will take place between storyteller and one character, or two.. These can take place over the forums or the chatrooms, but they will be posted on the forums no matter what. That's only because I perfer ...
