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 2020
Dread Lord Wyrom makes a post at the Officials, and I quote him: “…we will likely be making some sweeping changes to Ebon Gate in 2020…expect revamping to the majority of gaming activities, length of time of the active portions of the event, and changes to what all goes into our feeders.” He’s been listening to our feedback as the festival has progressed. http://bit.ly/32Labhe

ROLEPLAY

TIP
Folding Chair Tip from Cylnthia: “For anyone who bought a chair from the EG chair shop, On The Throne, a useful Lich alias so that you don’t lose said chair… ;alias add –global stand = stand\rget chair\r” or if you are worried about RT: ;alias add stand = ;e multifput “stand”,”get chair” and never lose your chair!

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
