Chronicles need to be written after you play in the larp. This is
a record of what happened to your character at the game. The staff needs
the chronicles to continue writing for characters. Outlined below is
a bit of help in writing a chronicle. If you need more help or samples
of a chronicle, please feel free to contact us.
Chronicles are due May 8th. Those who Chronicle by May 1st will get
a XP bonus.
What is a Chronicle?
It is an outline of what happened to your character at the larp or
"Gathering". It can take any form you like; a journal entry,
a letter to a loved one or friend, a story from the first or third person.
It can be elaborate and take several pages, it can be a few paragraphs,
or it can be a very simple bullet list.
What should a chronicle contain?
First off a bullet list of the following; Who you interacted with and
what were the results. Deals or promises you made and if you are going
to follow through on them (very important when teaching disciplines).
Events you set in motion. Goals you set for yourself and things that
you have learned. After the bullet list the chronicle can be presented
in whatever style you like.
Why do we need a chronicle?
This is our main and most important contact with the game. The staff
can not be every where during a larp and your chronicles will let us
know from your perspective what has happened. Without chronicles we
will not be able to run the game.
Why do you need to chronicles?
With a chronicle sent in on time you will have personal backgrounds,
you will recive full XP for your role playing, you will be allowed to
spend XP. You will be able to keep deals and promises made that you
outline. You will be able to accomplish the goals you set for yourself.
You will have a permanent record of how your character grows and changes
through out the run of the game. If you chronicle you get full XP and
your character grows to be big and strong. Unlife is good with Chronicles.
What happens if you don't chronicle?
You may loose a title that has been awarded to you. You get very little
XP. You are not allowed to spend XP. You'll get no Personal Backgrounds
for the next game, just clan and city. You did not follow through on
the Promises and deals you may have made at the larp and the other characters
may take offense at this. These same characters will pick on you and
make fun of you cause you are weak. Unlife is bad without Chronicles.
What happens if you don't chronicle on time?
You may not get personal backgrounds or you may get some. You may not
be able to do everything you outlined in your goals but you may do some.
You will get reduced XP but it is much better then none. Any chronicle
is better then no chronicle at all.
In closing, If you chronicle your character will be popular, strong,
more attractive and wealthy. Depending on how you spend your XP. So
Chronicle every game.
