Hey guys, here I am again (as promised) with my.....platform....?

So here is the deal......

• Thing the First
• Thing the Second
• Thing the Third
• Thing the Fourth
• Thing the Fifth
• Thing the Sixth
• Thing the Last-ish

Lastly (no one freak out... yet) I want to do some sort of reset.

I know that is a bad statement but let me reassure that I will not do a "Big Red Button Kill Everything" reset.
I have a few ideas on how to do this but I have not put them in full sentences yet; when I do I will put a poll up here on the boards and the Facebook page. I do want you guys to be able to keep the "heart" of your character I don't think that it would be fair to take that from you guys, more so for the new people that have just brought in characters but the thought is still the same with the "veteran" players.... I know how much gets invested into a character and I would hate to force that away from you guys.

It makes me happy to know that the players that have talked about Changeling have nothing but wonderful things to say. I want to keep it that way. To be honest that is the biggest "platform" I am running on.... Keep Saturdays Fun!

Thank you for your time!!

Ok everyone here I am again. So I have spent this week working my mind off, yes that is a thing, and I have found that I need to make some amendments to the post that I have up there in quotes.

Lets start off with the biggest issue at hand shall we:

After talking with you guys at game and getting some feedback from some of you during the week I think I might have come up with a better idea then 'reset' idea that I had.

Let me explain where I was/am coming from on this for a moment.... I have found as player that there is always a huge gap in power level and I have never really thought it was fair. By that I mean that I think it is kinda sucky to, say for example, bring a friend with you to game so that they can play/see how our LARP works, they make a base character with no other perks than the ones in play right now and go play. Woot new player! The issue that I see is this: Not counting coming into the middle of a huge plot, a new player will, in most cases, find that there is very little for them to do and/or experience. The lower leveled characters are normally: in the way, have nothing helpful, can do nothing helpful etc. I have always found this to be discouraging as a player. I have seen some people not return to game simply because they felt useless. I don't want that at all. I also don't want to punish any player with a loss in exp or cool 'toys'.

So here is what I am proposing: Instead of bringing the higher level players down how about we raise the level of the lower level players?

Chew on this if you will:

A new player gets the following perks:

1. 100 starting exp to dump into the character.
2. 20 history exp will still remain as it is.
3. 10 recruitment exp will still remain as it is.
4. This gives a new player a total of 120 exp with no recruiter. A new player with recruiter has a total of 130 exp.

When said new player's character has a good death/retirement 50 exp will roll into the good death/retirement refund.

Keep in mind that a:
Good Death refunds 1/4 of the exp earned and put into the character. You will also get a refund of 50 exp from new player perks.
Retirement refunds 1/3 of the exp earned and put into the character. You will also get a refund of 50 exp from new player perks.

Ok here is some more stuff for you guys.

I want you guys to feel that at all times you have a voice in whatever I am doing. Anything overly drastic will have a vote with it. Keep in mind though, that a vote is not a promise or guarantee that things will change just how you want it to. I will however promise to listen to you guys and take in consideration everything that you guys say. Anything that is a huge change, like adding or adjusting system, will have a ‘play test’ period just to see how things work. If things don’t work out I will make things right.


** The changes I want to make to the Houses and Kiths will be as minor as I can make them.

** The changes to the current Rules I want to make will be as minor as I can make them, and will mostly be clearification.

** I want to add and modify the Merits and Flaws. This might mean that you will need to adjust your sheet based on these additions, and I will cover that later on in this post.

** The Bedlam system will be enacted as soon as possible. Remember, if all goes to hell I will fix it.

** I am looking into a Treasure system that will be more uniform. This means that you will need to adjust your Treasures based on this change, and I will cover that later on in this post.

** I am looking into bringing the Influence system into Changeling, I am still working on getting everything together so that you guys can look it over.


After all the changes have been introduced into game, everyone will have a chance to re-vamp their sheets. Everyone will have a month to re-vamp, just like if you just brought in your character.

The last thing I have to say, tonight that is, is the fact that I for one am having a blast in Changeling and I hope that you guys are as well. All I want to do is have fun on Saturday, game should be a place where we can put real live on pause and relax. With that in mind:

Lets Keep Saturday Fun!!!
