Aegle Waygate Updates
Thursday, 4 August 2011
August 4th: Major updates
Mood:  a-ok
Now Playing: Aegle Waygate
Topic: Game Techs

First and foremost, everyone congratulate Ceit on his newfound social status! He is as of now, a Novice Magi! He is the very first social status within the realm of Lavellan. So, congratulations, boney-butt. :D

Please welcome Tahngarth to the realm; we sure have missed our bullywoolly's around these parts! ^^

Clueless as to how to start your social status questline? Go here. The requirements for each are listed, and the descriptions. How do you start the questline? Well, Ceit's social status was attained through a non-linear quest last night. Non-linears are a freeform type of questing style, that focuses on several player's personal quests/marketing/shopping/missions, and so forth. If you're ready, with the requirements listed, and wish to start this questline, please simply ask a DM to begin it for you. It can also be started on the forum for time constrain sake, and followed up by GM intervening at some point, or continued in the channel with the forum thread RP in mind.

Multiple pages have been added and edited to further accentuate the site's overall theme. 

The Weapon Types page has been revamped and the new Featured Weapons are posted. These are subject to undergoing modification and expansion, so keep posted for the goodies. 

With some players' finals coming up soon/ongoing, we look to expand our user-base within the next few bases; so make sure your character sheets are submitted, skill points are distributed, and all other modifications are complete prior to questing, etc-- although we can easily modify your character sheet to reflect the changes(even during questing itself), we prefer that our main focus is on the quest itself and will help players with these details beforehand, if required. You may also do a 'dry run' of a character -- unregistered -- simply to explore that characterization/persona more adequately. It is of no issue for the Aegle Waygate crew to simply tack on the EXP/GP/Rewards to another character, if you decide to trash the character within the first few days, etc.

HELP & TREASURE
Mood:  bright
Now Playing: Aegle Waygate
Topic: Game Techs

There have been numerous pages revamped of late, but I have added two with actual content for references: A HELP  & a TREASURE page.  The HELP page is introduced as a means/walkthrough for newcomers--who aren't as RP savvy as others. The Treasure page features a "EXP" continuation page, summarizing some of the more intricate details of EXP, treasure, GP, and rewards.

Project related

Make sure you're started on your cartography project, folks- because time'sa tickin' allrighty? ;D

Also look for a poetry contest within the next week or so, as I write up the features. I expect our RPG newsletter will be eventually modified to a newspaper of sorts--and content is required for it's monthly upkeep. :)

Basic Magic Spells
Mood:  amorous
Now Playing: Aegle Waygate
Topic: Game Techs

A new set of Basic Magic spells have been added to the Realm page, under Player Guide, etc -- Go here! Keep in mind that this is a basic set of spells, and you should use discretion whilst spending Skill Points.

The Kanji language book was posted to the library(otherwise known as the Northern Chantry Atheneum). It's free for access. :]

Lavellan: Cartography Contest
Mood:  celebratory
Now Playing: Aegle Waygate
Topic: History & Snippets

We at Aegle Waygate are in pursuit of some Cartographers interested in creating their personal rendition of the Lavellan Realm Map. This is a volunteer project, and in no way affects the player base in any manner. It is not a requirement to participate.

 

Materials:

Any materials you prefer, or programs to sketch/draw the map is completely within your creative realm to develop. I have used Cartographer 2, with an icon/element packet on occasions to master the one used for the realm standard. An earlier occasion, I created another in Photoshop CS2. There is a myriad of online materials free for use online,such as Deviantart.com -- do 'map' searches in Resources > Photoshop Brushes, etc. If you need further help with gathering materials, please contact Aeglewaygate@hotmail.com - or shoot Leilani a PM on IRC. Gimp is also a free program, which is free, and I believe photoshop brushes are compatible with it, as well. It's definitely a cheaper alternative. Drawn/scanned maps are equally welcomed, as well!

 

Requirements:

All landmarks which are illustrated, refer to the map here.

Unfortunately, you may not add new landmarks or regions, but this does not include general landscapes/mountain regions or even woodland areas.

 

 

Time length: August 21st is the deadline for this project. Use it wisely.

 

Judging:

The GMs of Aegle Waygate staff will be judging the maps entered into the contest, after the deadline expires. Some of the premises for judging the entries are:

Credibility and likeness to the LANDMARKS upon the original map. (Not the platform/style, etc).

Creative direction, artistic quality, and also unique contrasts.

The GMs will also be participating if they wish it, but none of the art submissions will have names upon them, therefore the fairness is ensured for all related players.

Rewards:

Note: All maps will be featured into the map gallery on the website, but prizes vary.

 1st place

Not only will your map be posted on the map page featured on the website(with your character's link/bio/page), but there is also a gallery being set into motion, and yours will be featured therein!

500 EXP

500 GOLD

+1 stat to any item of your choosing, and you can determine it's name. Such as, "Svelta's Stitches" is a gown Svelta was permitted to create.

The skill "Cartography" is added FREE to the character of your choosing.

An impressive art kit consisting of the finest whittled oak wood and horse hair brushes for the character of your choosing to create portraits/paintings that will be rightly noted in the upcoming Endow Moors Taverns/surroundings descriptions.

 

 2nd place

Random grab bag item. The player will be rolling random numbers to shuffle amongst a big GM bag for goodies. ^_~! A GM plushie of your choosing.

250 EXP

150 GOLD

The skill "Cartography" is added FREE to the character of your choosing.

 

 3rd place

* The prize list is subject to change, to reflect the appreciation of the artists' participating, and may be modified within the near future with an increase of goodies.

New language books are underway--(posted of now, elven)--and continue to grow plentifully within the NORTHERN CHANTRY ATHENEUM.    There is a new wing that grants access to for public use.

 

 

The script was engineered by our very own Midway, to reflect the Elven tongue version of Aegle Waygate. If you intend on using the translator for other RPGs, please let us know what you intend with the script. We'd like to see the results. Tongue out

What foul remnants of the past stray to opress the Endow Moors' patrons? A ghost unrest, to flitter about in hopes of quenching their untimely death? Waygate Anchor officers hoping to recruit green boys for their cause? Something has made its presence notice--- and the patrons of the Moors have not seemed to take a liking to its interference into their everyday go-ons! Maybe Midway & Azreal will plunder those very paths that will lead the patrons to righting the wrongdoing, or unsettled atmosphere of late!

Let's welcome Diethyla to the Lavellan Realm! :)


The GM INFO & QUEST link has been added to our main page, for player convenience, concerning rules/regulations and up-to-date status on pending storylines. <3

QUESTS are scheduled for tonight & tomorrow night, check the site calendar for more information regarding this! <3

We altered an error on the character sheet generator. It's a freebie system, so I suppose we cannot complain! :o

 

The Magi, under the Sparkholder tier has been completed! The entire branch is complete at this division.

July 18th: Mentalist
Mood:  bright
Now Playing: Aegle Waygate
Topic: Game Techs

The Mentalist (Sparkholder tier) has been added successfully to the sparkholder table to further our continual effort of completing the tier. We're still in the very beta form of the rpg itself, and encourage players to recruit on their own accord, as well. :]

 

Several Social Status questline have been posted onto the table, for rank 2 social statuses. As they progress, there's a laundry list of requirements and challenges the player must face in order to successfully attain the rank. Some may be seemingly less drastic than the others!

Freeform is a constant every night, and scheduled quests/dungeon raids are posted on the calendar weekly. If you're hesitating on whether or not you should register-- don't! EXP and other goodies can be accumulated during this period, and the content that's not added, is basically materials required for higher levels. :)  Make Aegle Waygate your home today!
