EBON GATE MEMORIES |
Take a moment while it is fresh in your mind to contribute to this year’s Ebon Gate Album. The merchant who went out of their way, the kind person who paid for the entire room. That roleplayed encounter you will never forget. The special item you picked up that is to RAVE over. Someone who was sweet, someone who was helpful, someone who impressed you! Add something to the scrapbook quickly from this web page: http://bit.ly/2JouBVA View Last year’s Album at: http://bit.ly/2OR1D0o |

 ROLEPLAY |
Brave Sir Wonkus would like to remind you that the ROLEPLAY NOMINATE verb exists. Give the great RPers an incentive to keep being great. It costs nothing and gives recognition to those who have it coming! Remember to use it EARLY in your encounter, so the GM responding to it can witness and reward it! |

EBON GATE TIP |
Remember to MARK your new purchases from the Festival and REGISTER them in the unlikely event of Ghezresh Eating GemStone again. REGISTER it every time you get something done to it, whether it be unlocking, lightening, deepening, or altering. If you need a GM to find it, it might also be a good idea to be able to describe it… |
 LOST |
Bakira lost his pack on FWI and it has sentimental value to him. When lost it had a bunch of Ebon Gate items from digging. The pack description is a deep blue leather pack stitched with brilliant turkey-shaped constellation. Please let him know if you ran across it. See his post at the PC: http://forum.gsplayers.com/showthread.php?122233 |
