Given the sheer number of pc's we can no longer afford to have npcs running story.
As such there will be no npcs in the field. We will only act as a neutral arbiter.

With this comes the following changes.
Character points are now frozen. The only way you can get them are killing another pc and drinking in his.
Resources will no longer go into game. You will need to make clothes from the skin of children.

Thank you for playing and welcome to evil haven.

In related news, Final Haven is currently accepting all Winter Haven PCs who are discouraged by these new rules. Unfortunately, you will have to NPC as we are no longer allowing players to PC, as they just keep f#%!ing up our story...

In related related news, for those that don't know yet, the setting for Final Haven will change this year. We have received very positive feedback about the Haven Chronicles, so we have decided to have the PCs open a rival newspaper. This newspaper will be written entirely by the PCs for their between events upkeep. As such, we will be introducing a new economic system incorporating Raises, Deadlines, Job Titles, Pay Grades and Pink Slips as well as introducing a few new skills such as Byline, Headline and new Curses like Procrastination, You're Fired! and Writer's Block and new Disciplines such as:

Ace Reporter
Investigation - As per the skill.
Climbing the Corporate Ladder - You may attempt a Raise and avoid the consequence Pink Slip.
Prolific Artist - You may submit one additional article for consideration to an Editor.
Ace - You may resist Procrastination and Writer's Block.


Editor
Proofread - You may call Proofread on any article, negating the effects of bad spelling and bad grammar.
Verify Information - As per the Probe Mind skill.
Say What? - You may require a rewrite of any article that doesn't make sense.
Frontpage - Any article you submit is automatically chosen to appear on the front page.


Paparazzi
Investigation - As per the skill.
Compromising Situation - You may either find or create one Dirty Secret about any character.
Questionable Truth - You may lie if someone tries to Verify Information.
Freelance - You are immune to Deadlines.


We will post more as appropriate...
We hope you love this as much as we do!

In unrelated related possibly-related but truly unrelated news we are installing a new Reward / Punishment system! Reward points are being done away with, and being replaced by what we in the staff like to call the "Wheel of Beautiful Chaos." At the beginning of each event at check-in every PC will be handed a card with a number on it. A hat with a number of numbered tickets equal to the number of PC's will then be drawn from randomly throughout the event. When a number is pulled the staff will come together and spin the "Wheel of Beautiful Chaos." When spun the staff will begin to chant as follows:

"Wheel of Chaos spin spin spin!
What beautiful riches are within?
Will it be misery? Will it be luck?
Frankly for PC's we don't give a f$#*!
"

When the wheel has come to a stop we will alert the chosen PC of their fate based on the "Wheel of Beautiful Chaos." Prizes awarded by the "Wheel of Chaos" can range far and wide, from a couple of copper to a shiny new magical item of varying worth or worthlessness! Other prizes include a trip to the Elemental Plane of Fire, upkept wealthy for the next event or Instant Petrification!! The possibilities are endless!

So keep your ticket handy, and listen carefully for the chanting! Who knows. You might win a brand new Stumpy! Or be struck dead by sudden thunderlizard consumption!

In other other somewhat completely and totally related news, Peanut M&Ms have now been deemed contraband by the greater nation of Lethnal and her refugees. All contraband found on the Camp Kiwanis property must be surrendered forthwith to the duly appointed representative of the Av'yana homeland. Failure to do so will result in harsh quantities of stabbity.
