Our November game, The Earning Season, focuses on settling debts and making new connections. With many new and returning players, we want to use this opportunity to introduce a core part of the setting: the Patron Families of Requiem. Our NPC Family Heads (as well as leaders of the Brokentooth Clan, a PC Patron Family) will come out en masse Saturday afternoon so you can learn more about them and their factions. Following this, you’ll have a chance to see Family traditions in action as part of a local Holiday.
Not prereg’d? Why not?
Saturday’s Main Events
Our usual roaming threats will wind down Saturday afternoon to give you a chance to socialize. Here’s the schedule for Saturday:
1:00 pm - Siesta - As usual, we give you (and our ops staff) a break in the middle of the day. It’s a good time for players to plan activities or share a meal with with their friends.
3:00 pm - VIP Cocktail Hour - The first 25 people who prereg’d won the chance to attend an exclusive cocktail hour with the Family Heads from 3 to 4 on Saturday. They’ll not only be the first to see the unique family items (see below) but also take part in a special toast that restores their Mind to full capacity and gives them “Upsurge: 20 Mind.” This event will be private… there are skills that can get you in, but beware of consequences for unwelcome social climbers.
4:00 pm - Family Dinner - After the cocktail hour, the Family Heads will head over to the Great Hall for a potluck dinner. Here everyone will have the chance to meet them and learn more about the Families (and their unique items). As it is a potluck, you’re encouraged to sign-up and bring food.
6:00 pm - The Burning - The night continues as one of the Patron Families, the Volkov, celebrate a holiday all about the secrets we carry. As information mongers, the Volkov learn many terrible things, and the silence wears upon their conscience. During the Burning, they lighten their burden by symbolically by tossing these secrets into a fire. We’ll talk more about the Burning next week, but we need your secrets to burn! Fill out our form, and earn some CAPs by sharing your secrets!
Other Featured Elements
We have a couple of other plans for you during the Earning Season… some we can even tell you about:
A few players have planned a Videbit Mortis to ask some questions in the Gravemind. While spots are limited, we can help you learn more about this event at the game.
We’re hard at work on our Family Trade Items. Each Patron Family will have unique items to barter and sell, and you can purchase them by aligning with a specific faction. See our Family Mechanics for more details.
Finally, Thrill Kill Season is coming to an end. You might expect to see some Raiders throughout the weekend.
We hope you’ll join us, and please email us at drny.info@gmail.com with any questions!
