 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.

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 |

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… |
 REPOspotlight |
There’s a very nice new script on the repo, ;signature that adapted signature verbs and swears so that anyone can use them with ACT (including the special targeting syntax of ACT). Check out ;signature list while you’re waiting in line — or just ;signa lipchew What a BRILLIANT way to pass the time roleplaying while you are waiting patiently for a merchant. ;repository download signature |
EBON GATE |
Treasure Trove Cheat Sheet: HELP is a Trove room command, not on a sign. You need an active game pass to play. The Shelf has current item. The Tray has next items. INSPECT items on both surfaces to learn properties. Drawings take place every hour at top of the hour. LOOK DRAWER to see time left ’til the drawing. DROP TOKEN IN DRAWER to enter the current drawing. Each token is good for 1 use. Multiple tokens allowed per drawing. Winners cannot enter again for 36 hours. Good Luck! |
