Along with this promise, Master Michael instituted the Journey of Salvation, the proper completion of which would save Humanity from a terrible fate. Upon her sixteenth birthday, the Chosen would leave Human lands to undergo tests of strength, courage, and wisdom. But she would not go alone, and choose Guardians to protect her where she walks. Sixteen years ago, the first part of Micahel's promise was kept, and the Chosen child was born. But she was not the first, for many Chosen have tried and failed to complete the Journey of Salvation. Many fear that she will not be the last. But still, today is a celebration. There is to be a festival, where the Chosen shall decide who will accompany her on her Journey. Heroes flock from far and wide to be chosen as Guardians, and for some reason there are some non-Humans among the hopeful... Angel's Tear, Episode 1: "For lo, among you a Chosen child shall be born..." Day and time: March 7, noon. Place: Huntington Central Park, library side Price: $20 to PC, 10 to NPC To be removed from this list simply reply with 'remove' in the email body. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

A new location for events is unveiled! Lawler! So what is Lawler? Lawler is a newly discovered location in near Idyllwild. Roughly 10 miles outside town it consists of two sites, Lawler Lodge with two indoor areas for bunk camping; and Lawler Alpine, with 8 cabins and more open space. Each offers a kitchen and are distinctive options. Some pictures of Lawler are available here . The exact location of Lawler can be mapped to using google maps, as it has no true address it is best to use GPS Coordinates. Google Maps does have Street View for the location. GPS Coordinates for Lawler: N 33 47.798' W 116 44.821' Approximate Address for Lawler: 21008 Banning-Idyllwild Panoramic, Idyllwild, CA, United States When driving to Lawler, the first location with the Lawler Sign is Lawler Alpine, the second location with the building is Lawler Lodge. Be aware this is a significant parking limitation, carpooling is a must to survive. If there is overflow you are likely to walk miles, or worse. Parking will be strictly managed. What amenities does Lawler have? Both the Lodge and Alpine have a kitchen, showers, and flush toilets. The two story Lodge is next to a creek and has many nearby trails and pathways giving it a more contained atmosphere. The Lodge consists of two buildings, each containing bunks to sleep on in a large open area. Overall the lodge is smaller than one used at other locations. Alpine has many more open areas and the sleeping arrangements are split in to 8 separate buildings. Showers, bathrooms, and the kitchen are nearby in a separate building. No outdoor fires are permitted at either location, use of the Fireplace in the lodge is permitted. Pets are not permitted at Lawler. Want to sleep at a nearby hotel?

Anyone is welcome to come out and NPC free of charge if they desire. Character Creation for New Players: Please read this post and send a character background based on the questions included within- viewtopic.php?f=44 &t=1425 *Food is not provided by Game Staff for this event. Please bring your own food. If you want to coordinate food with a group, please do so on the Live Effects forums here: viewtopic.php?f=44 &t=1422 Lore: You recently received a mysterious letter inviting you to a "diplomatic council" in the Forest of Blades. Along the way, you may encounter other travelers with similar invitations - but seemingly little in common. The Forest of Blades is widely known to be one of the most dangerous regions on the continent, but fortunately the directions on the map indicate that the meeting place is just within the forest's boundaries. Hopefully the terrible monsters said to lurk within the borders of the forest will let you reach the summit alive. Note: Players may request a hard copy of this letter if you have submitted a character background to Veil plot staff. Rules: The 3.0 Rules can be downloaded here: download/file.php?id=466 We will be using the Live Effects 3.0 rules with the following additions: -You may phys-rep a bandage to heal a wound twice as quickly as usual. -Potions must be phys-repped and physically "drank". Plot can provide phys reps if you have your item tags. -You must provide phys reps if you wish to tie up a character with rope (or another material). You must have consent to actually tie a person up, otherwise the target should hold the rope in his or her hands. Tying a target up requires a three count. You cannot escape ropes without the "Escape Bonds" maneuver. Other means of escaping bonds are at Plot discretion. -This game is using new Diplomacy rules, which can be found here: http://www.onlineeffects.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=61 &t=1836 Sleeping Rules: If you wish to sleep out-of-game, you must provide a phys rep for your character's body in an in-game location and mark your tent out-of-game. This phys rep can be as simple as a pile of clothes with a tag that says "(x) Character's Body". If you choose to take this approach, please inform Plot of anything you are doing to protect your tent, hut, tree, or whatever you are choosing to sleep in. Plot can provide markers to designate that your actual tent is out-of-game, just ask. You will still be sleeping in PC camp. If you are not comfortable sleeping in PC camp at all for safety or medical reasons, speak to Plot and we can accommodate you, but you still will have to have a body tag and phys rep that remains in-game. Please note that this rule is not so Plot can just murder anyone in their sleep who chooses to go out-of-game at night, we will not be mindlessly slaughtering people, so you should still go out-of-game if you are not comfortable being woken up in-character by someone coming into your tent. Notes: This game will include some horror elements. This may involve some physical contact with other players or game staff. If you are not comfortable with physical contact, please let us know before or during the game so that you will not experience any discomfort during the event. We need PCs more than NPCs for this event. If you're debating which to play, we would prefer PCs. Contact veil at onlineeffects.com if you have any questions, comments, or concerns.

But I ignore all of that now, now I am simply content to spend my days in this god forsaken town, where nothing happens. The people are friendly, the water is clear, and the sky is shining. But I, Oddon, sense something amiss? deep within my bones. But I must work carefully to finish my research, if I do many will be saved. Pity they do not understand what they will be saved from. My Lord Mordred wrote me recently, saying he is stepping down as High King for someone else? he didn?t say who. He said some of his new friends would be coming, although what they deal with they do not know. Fools? all of them? even the now fallen king. If only they understood what truly could erupt from the darkness. I must return to my work and finish quickly. Funny, I just noticed I?ve been working for only two hours after sun rise? how come it?s already pitch dark outside? They say when the world was young you would hear them? clicking in the deep? But I ignore all of that now? The Gathering Announcing The Gathering 2009! June 27th at Huntington Beach Central Park Starts at 10am - all day event. The Gathering is a LARP event where the local LARPers get together from different groups and games at a single place and time. Cross-LARP games, food, and vendors will be in abundance. The Gathering works for the non-LARPing public as a "Job Faire", where people interested in LARP can come and ask questions, see demonstrations or get in on the action themselves in a non-pressure and no cost environment for each of the LARP groups in our region. Live Effects will be doing a few small demonstrations, have a booth setup, and showing off a bit of lore from our upcoming chapter? Messina. Announcing a new chapter of Live Effects: Messina Once upon a time there were two worlds: one a land of magic the other a land of science, one ruled by kings and queens, inhabited by dragons, elves and wizards, the other full of soldiers, inventors, machinists, and movie stars. What will happen when when powerful Mages make their way into Los Angeles and those who yearn for something more find a world beyond their dreams? What will happen when all the fairy tales your mother told you turn out to have a grain of truth, when you read a tale in a library book and recognize yourself and your companions climbing the glass mountain, rescuing the princess, battling the wolf? What will happen when the worlds collide? Click here to learn more about Messina: http://tinyurl.com/parsp5 So what is Lawler?

Laneque's Chaos: Queen's Champion Location: Malibu Creek State Park, CA Group Camping Area Date: Friday July 31, 2009, to Sunday August 2, 2009 Time: Game time in is 7pm Friday and game ends at 12 noon on Sunday Background: Rumor is running rampant that the Emperor of Matrey has successfully married the new Queen of Coracri in a secret ceremony witnessed only by a very few people. However, after the Undead attacks the Queen and the Emperor left Damar to rescue the Queen's uncle so there has been no way to confirm the rumors. Reports have been trickling in from around the Kingdom about the Undead Attacks. The Capitol city of Arrow has survived and its freshly rebuilt walls are still intact. Messengers from Arrow have told of the new Queen's arrival there, accompanied by a small band of Matreyan and Damar soldiers. Other places have not been so lucky. The river towns of Coran and Nocksa, and the mining town of Diumkoll were all destroyed. There were no survivors. The Matreyan soldiers left behind by the Emperor of Matrey to help protect Damar have been for the most part, quiet and cooperative, fighting side by side with the Damar soldiers against the abominations that are the undead. The day after the undead attacks first began some excitement occurred within the Matreyan encampment. A Matreyan betrayer accused of desertion had attempted an escape but was unsuccessful. Rumor has it that she may have had outside help but nothing has been proven. The date of her execution has been set. Throughout all of the trouble that is happening to the Kingdom, the Regent, Baron Robert, has not forgotten his people or their dire straits, even while planning his next strategic move. Whispers have begun amongst the refugees of a food caravan coming from somewhere, arranged between the Baron and one of the offworlder Wyrdlings that had helped repel the first undead assault against Damar. In addition, notices are being posted everywhere about something else: "Proclaim to all gentles and nobles that Lord Robert Arqubeka, Baron of Pearljunct and Regent of the Kingdom of Coracri declares that a tournament will be held to decide who shall gain the honor of becoming the Queen's Champion." PC Game Fee: $30.00 for new players, $60.00 with Pre-registration for current players, $80.00 at the door. NPC Game Fee: $10.00 donation is requested but not required. Meals are being provided; bring your own drinks and snacks. If you have special dietary needs, you should probably make arrangements to bring your own food just to be safe. Crossover characters from the Veil or the Wyrd are welcome, please be aware there is an in game language barrier for non-natives. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The Loremistress Eholora sits in her study, carefully applying the gold foil to a newly illuminated page, when her young apprentice Garrin rushes into the room. "Patience Garrin," she chides him gently, "History is still going to be there if you take two moments or four to get to where you're going." "Yes Mistress Eholora, but a forgotten book may not. I knew you'd want to read this immediately." He hands her a tightly curled parchment, remnants of black wax still affixed where it was once sealed closed, and a sheet of plain parchment covered in glyphs- the key to reading the other page. 'If the society knew we had cracked their code...' . The message was short and to the point: My Brothers Our time is coming, now that we know about the forgotten tome we are well on our way to the dominion and power that we have so long deserved. Meet me at the crossroads when the moon is dark and we will take up the great power. No one but us knows of this secret. If we act quickly we can claim it before anyone else even knows it exists. After all, who's going to miss a dusty old book. Together in Magic and Blood Headwizard Arnaz Eholora throws down the parchment and picks up her staff. 'Who's going to miss a dusty old book, indeed!' "Come on, Garrin, we're leaving immediately!" she calls to her apprentice. "No Loremistress, not tonight. You promised to officiate the lord Duke's swearing in ceremony." Curses, Eholora thinks, but she puts down her staff, casts a blessing to ask the gods for time, and turns back to illuminating the manuscript. Gods willing she, or someone else, would be able to figure out what was going on and stop it before it was too late. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Lore: The Archlich called Botheas has emerged after hundreds of years of isolation within the ruined city of Velthryn, and with him is terrifying army of the damned. Though the armies of the metropolis of Aayara have finally taken to the field, they have served only to slightly delay Botheas advance. His army?s numbers only seem to grow with time, as his power reanimates each fallen foe. Several organizations have forged a temporary treaty to guard Botheas? next target ? the sentient artifact known as the Tree of Life. Located within the city of Terisgard, the tree utilizes its powers to bolster its defenders, giving the living some scant hope of surviving the coming onslaught. Representatives of each faction have arrived at the tree, putting their age-old disputes on hold as they prepare as best they can for the tide of the dead that approaches. As the undead cleave their way through all opposition, a rumor reaches the defenses of the city ? Botheas himself has taken to the field, leading his army into battle. He wields god-like powers, striking down all that oppose him. Whispered prayers come to no avail as the monster advances, seemingly unstoppable. What hope to mortals have against the might of a demigod and his legions? Rules: The 3.5 Rules can be downloaded here: http://www.onlineeffects.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=2362 We will be using the Live Effects 3.5 rules with the following additions: -You must provide phys reps if you wish to tie up a character with rope (or another material). You must have consent to actually tie a person up, otherwise the target should hold the rope in his or her hands. Tying a target up requires a three count. You cannot escape ropes without the "Escape Bonds" maneuver. Other means of escaping bonds are at Plot discretion. *Special Rule*- For this game only, you gain the benefit of the aura of rejuvenating energy from the Tree of Life. All players have 20 Additional Energy and 1 Additional Rank of Energy Regeneration for this event only. This rule is subject to change at any time. Sleeping Rules: If you wish to sleep out-of-game, you must provide a phys rep for your character's body in an in-game location and mark your tent out-of-game. This phys rep can be as simple as a pile of clothes with a tag that says "(x) Character's Body". If you choose to take this approach, please inform Plot of anything you are doing to protect your tent, hut, tree, or whatever you are choosing to sleep in. Plot can provide markers to designate that your actual tent is out-of-game, just ask. You will still be sleeping in PC camp. If you are not comfortable sleeping in PC camp at all for safety or medical reasons, speak to Plot and we can accommodate you, but you still will have to have a body tag and phys rep that remains in-game. Please note that this rule is not so Plot can just murder anyone in their sleep who chooses to go out-of-game at night, we will not be mindlessly slaughtering people, so you should still go out-of-game if you are not comfortable being woken up in-character by someone coming into your tent. Notes: This game will include some horror elements. This may involve some physical contact with other players or game staff. If you are not comfortable with physical contact, please let us know before or during the game so that you will not experience any discomfort during the event. In addition, certain encounters in this game will be extremely high risk and can result in permanent character changes or death. These encounters will be clear at the event due to their nature. Film Crew at this Weekend?s Event (Infestation - Sept 4th-6th) ?Be aware that there will be a film crew at this coming Live Effects event Sept 4th ? 6th. They are there to film general scenes from the event, and interview those who volunteer. We will aim to be as non-intrusive as possible, but please aware they will have a presence at the event. The film organization has been screen as a professional group, and their intention is honorable. Please come support the hobby as we move forward in getting the message out. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Messina Theatre is a series of 13 events held in the magical world of Messina and it's cousin world Terra (which we Terrans tend to call Earth). They will be primarily day games, with at least one weekend game further down the road. Where is Messina Theatre? The Messina games will be held primarily in the central/west Los Angeles area. Our first game is at Clover Park in Santa Monica but later games are planned for Culver City, Griffith Park, Downtown, Wyrd Con and more. Who is Messina Theatre? The members of the plot team for Messina Theatre are Amanda Mielke, Devin McCarthy, Rachel Noel, and Aaron Vanek. The game is open to any other players who want to join us, and anybody else we can nab along the way. When is Messina Theatre? The first game for Messina is November 14th. The game takes place, though, in 1923. The world has just emerged from war, the American economy is on the rise, cinema is booming but so is organized crime, prohibition, water wars, jazz and the lost generation. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
