Going forward, if you would like an account on the forum for your PC, feel free to make one and email me at dawson.dorman@gmail.com with the username and associated email address so I can approve it. We are still receiving daily approval request from spam bots, so emailing me prevents you from being lost in the flood.

Also, I will be trying to bring back faction and camp forum pages. If you are a member of a Ralinwood faction or camp, email dawson.dorman@gmail.com with your username and the associated factions so you can be given access to that page.

Thanks!

And while your first job will be keeping camp organized during game and managing the inventory, this job also comes with some creative perks! We are also looking to hire someone who is interested in designing and creating costuming, props and set dressing for game as well! This role comes with a small budget for purchasing items required to craft. If you have always wanted to participate but maybe RP or combat aren't for you, if are both creative and organized, and if want to make Ralinwood that much greater-looking and feeling, there is finally a job is for you!

In this job you will be primarily supporting the NPC team. The idea is that you the one who makes sure that their mods go out looking great, keep things organized so they can find things quickly and easily, and keep things neat so no one goes more bananas than they need to. And while this role comes with some creative license (you are being paid to make stuff, and Dan WILL want you to make cool stuff), this role remains primarily a support role. That means that if a shaper does not want your input or wants to do something different with their mod / NPC, the Shaper has final say.

People with sewing, leatherworking, cos-playing, or film and theatre production will likely be more successful (based on their existing experience); we welcome all applicants! Being able to lift / bend / twist is not required, accommodations can be made for anyone who cannot do these things. Being organized is a must though. Right now we are looking for someone who is not already a Season NPC or Shaper to join the team, but if the right team member wants to jump to this role we'd be willing to consider them.


We envision the job will include the following duties:

Between Games:
Designing costuming, props and set dressing items at Shapers' request
Creating (or sourcing / commissioning) special props, costuming and set pieces at Owner's request
Keeping an inventory of costuming, props and equipment (the idea being if Shapers need something someone knows if we already have it and where it is)
Sourcing and commissioning / purchasing / creating costuming and props between games (purchasing will be subject to Ivanna's approval)
Maintaining costuming, props, equipment (especially armour)
Laundry, repairs and mending as required


At Event:
Set up town set dressing (lanterns, sign posts, notice board, skein gate)
Keeping NPC camp and the shed neat and organized during game
Cleaning up NPC camp and the Sanctuary as needed
Maintaining costuming, props, equipment (especially armour)
Laundry, repairs and mending as required
Going to town if we need something and getting that thing (sometimes, probably mostly for tavern if Ivanna cannot go)
Occasionally going out on NPC roles (if you like - recurring characters only!)

Applications Close February 16th. The successful candidate will be announced in late February.

Ah, the early winter air, the cold mornings, the impending doom of snow and ice, always puts Father Nicholi in the best of moods. This year is no different, and if he is pleased by their performance,  Father Nicholi will grant a few lucky people's Highwinter Wishes. Highwinter Wishes will be collected during game time, sometime, but will be granted after event - and only if you have pleased  Father Nicholi, of course.

The catch is,  Father Nicholi will only grant a wish that is within his power (Reasonable.) If your name is drawn and Father Nikolai is unable to grant the wish, he will simply draw a new person's wish from the hat. So - be creative, be greedy, be bold, but be realistic, or risk losing out on your wish! 

WISH RULES:
If you want to add your wish to the hat, bring your wish written on a piece of paper and hand it in at the right time, in game. DO NOT EXPECT PAPER TO BE PROVIDED BY LOGISTICS OR ANYONE ELSE. If you do not bring your own paper, your wish will not be added to the hat for granting (as the wish does not exist!).  Wishes can be submitted by and for anyone who has paid to play the event, as you are considered present and in-game when you've paid to play. Wishes submitted after the event ends will not be accepted. 

On the paper please include#
 (1) Character Name and 
 (2) Player Name, and 
 (3) a preferred email address - as well as  
 (4) your wish.

NEW PLAYERS are encouraged to submit Highwinter wishes as well!

Travellers / Visitors may submit wishes as well.

Thank you to everyone (all 10 of you!) who applied. You did not make it an easy choice for Daniel. There were so many strong candidates and stellar applications. If you didn't get in this year, we would invite you to apply again next year. Maybe it won't be such a tough field.

So, it's almost Hallows, a time for running, hiding, and hopefully not dying. Last year I think we all saw an unusual amount of medical-related weirdness. But rather than griping about that, I want to put forward a new possible rule for hallows. And it shall be dubbed...

"THE PC PUMPKIN RULE!"

Stage 1: Accidents happen, and like every horror movie, the person who trips usually ends up having their role cut shot. With this in mind, if you're being run down, and you write a cheque your body can't cash, and wipe out calling a medical hold... the bad stuff is still gonna happen. You, the player, will be taken care of with the utmost care of a medical hold... however, your character will sadly be out of luck. Injury, be it involuntary or not, you will not be given a "free pass" to escape your fate. 

The player on a medical hold will be sent to their tent to recover. They cannot sit in NPC camp and cannot stay in game “on a medical hold”.  Since they require recovery time, they will be given recovery time!

But there is a clause! During this hold if another player is locked in this hold with all of you, stage two will take effect.

Stage 2: So there is a healthy player locked in the medical hold with you. They now have the option to be your savior! Should the injured player be unable to continue on, the NPC will offer the healthy player the option to be your pumpkin bearer. They can turn it down if they wish as this will be quite the burden. If yes, this moves to stage 3!

Stage 3: Your valiant hero has a 5 minute window (like death count), after agreeing and the hold ending, to make their way to NPC camp to retrieve the PC PUMPKIN (only a limited number will be available). A small contract will be made and by the powers of Hallows, that injured PC has been transformed into a PUMPKIN! Completely at the mercy of the world around them. The pumpkin-bearer will be responsible for this vegetable until the OOG medically held player comes to retrieve it and return their form. If the pumpkin is crushed, the player is crushed, eaten/eaten, lost... stuck in that form forever... until they choose to resurrect. 

So the life of a pumpkin isn't great, but hey, at least you're alive.

Stage 4: The injured player has recovered, has been cleared by a Medical Marshal, and is ready to re-enter the game. Well, you gotta find yourself first. The formerly injured player will travel OOG to find themselves, hopefully intact, with your pumpkin-bearer nearby, as they will be the only ones able to hear your cry to change back. At this point you both return to NPC camp, and you return to your character's state before the medical hold was called. If you missed your re-memorize time, you've missed it. But you are now free to rejoin the game! 


In order to make use of this policy, you must request it. We will not "offer" this to you during a medical hold.  Breanna will be at the logistics table to go over the  PC Pumpkin policy with you if you have any questions.]]> With thanks to Dustin Hitchcock for the idea and write-up.

To those of you who have attended an Underworld All Hallows event before, you know what I am about to say. To those attending their first All Hallows, please read carefully.

All Hallows events at Underworld are some of the most intense LARP experiences you can have. Everyone who's ever attended has a story to tell about All Hallows. Events they've PC'ed are some of the most amazing and exciting stories, but also, some of the most emotionally intense and terrifying experiences they've had. We don't want to scare people into not attending, or worse, not playing their main PCs, because these events really are a ton of fun. But, surviving All Hallows without a death is something to be proud of - All Hallows are meant to be deadly. Don't expect plot to scale monsters at this event. We will not pull our punches. We want you to feel the terror we love to play with.

It was an All Hallows event that the motto "RUN -- FIGHT -- HIDE" came from. We ramp it up even more this event. Running and Hiding are more your friends than ever.

You will be hunted. You will be chased. There will be things hiding in the dark. The point of this event is to make you feel dread, fear, terror. This won't be all the time, but it will happen. I'm letting them off the leash, and they're coming for you.

With that said, while we might be cruel and heartless to your characters, we will always remember that you are paying customers who deserve fairness and respect on an Out Of Game level. Though things may seem hopeless and miserable IG, you can usually run away from most encounters. Usually.

If things get too intense, we will not stop you from leaving the game. We ask that you be fair with this power - we all know that we're playing a dark fantasy LARP, and being terrified is half the fun! We ramp it right up to horror this game, complete with jump scares. But we want you to look out for your OOG health first and foremost. For that reason, we've created a medical / injury policy that must be read by all - see here.

And finally - please dress warm. Bring extra socks. We are not expecting sub-zero temperatures, and our cabins are heated, but we recommend that you prepare for anything, including rain and snow.

We will see you out there. And beware.]]> This is the obligatory All Hallows Warning.

RALIN-HALLOWS 2019. IT BEGINS. 

I know it’s almost a month away, but our first shaper meeting of Ralin-Hallows 2019 is being held next week, so it is time to get planning!

As is our custom, we're not doing NPC shifts for the All Hallows event. Instead you may either NPC the whole weekend or not NPC at all (with no opt-out cost). We'd like to get a sense of who wants to NPC the weekend so we can plan accordingly. Please sign up / apply below if you would like to NPC All Hallows in Ralinwood this year. If you’d like to apply, bear in mind that we expect you to NPC the entire weekend. We will be taking maximum 20 weekend NPCs.

For those of you who do play PCs for All Hallows, be warned, it will be scary and deadly. There will be extra chasing, extra hiding, monsters that are much harder to kill. All Hallows is a challenge. We do not pull our punches. We’re coming for you. But! If you PC, not only is surviving the weekend a reward, you will also get extra rewards. You get double the blankets, a "loot" bag of candy, chocolate and IG items (including some magic items!). Those who PC as their PRIMARY PCs will get a red "Ralin-Hallows 2261" red arm band, and the 2019 All Hallows NPC Team will get white ones. 

We would ask that you do not apply unless you are 100% sure you want to NPC All Hallows. If you are just thinking about it you may message Dan and you can talk. 

If you are a Season NPC, it's expected that you NPC All Hallows, but feel free to sign the sheet anyways.

Applications close in two weeks (October 13th at 10pm)! We will announce who we will be taking on as NPCs asap after it closes so we can get you in on the planning!
