====Spidery, Dulcet Tones====
  +
Today is a day for celebration.
  +
  +
SemrushBot is a data-gathering bot for the web. It also misbehaves.
  +
  +
Today, we awoke to the sweet, sweet and dulcet cackling of our serverwiz announcing it'd been successfully blocked.
  +
  +
Thank you, amazing serverwiz Lolth.
  +
  +
Her dulcet, spidery giggles will be forever in our nightmares.
  +
  +
PS SemrushBot is one of the big causes behind the recent lagspikes. If you websearch, one of the first results includes both swearweards, and "How do I block this <creative words> thing?"

====That Every 8 Months or so Post====
  +
Hey, guys!
  +
  +
One of the things we try not to do here is say, oh hey--you know, there is only one correct way to RP. The most we do is asking folks to pay attention to basic spelling and punctuation. That said, some folks have different preferences when it comes to joining RP.
  +
  +
First, all of the grid, and Plot Rooms, are public areas. However, sometimes it's a good thing to page first. This is just because folks might have set up something specific they'd like to roleplay through.
  +
  +
This doesn't mean you can't drop by. It just means to be respectful of preferences. Some might mind, some might not. It doesn't hurt to check. Staff also, takes note of exclusivity/cliques, so if there is a pattern over time, we will notice.
  +
  +
When we should ALWAYS page though, is if a GM is present ongrid. The GM probably has something going on.
  +
  +
Anyhow, no, this is not in response to any particular thing. It's a post we put up oh, every 9 months or so. There are a small collection of those, that generally say: be awesome to one another!
  +
  +
Hope all of y'alls adventures are excellent, and I look forward to seeing you in RP!

====POPs FAQ!====
  +
Hey, there! We did a little cleanup of the POPs FAQ based on some questions! There were some artifacts left in there from previous versions. Sorry about that! We also clarified what was meant by "intro RP." This is RP that's about meeting someone new or arriving to the city. Stuff like that is pretty cool, but isn't really...plotty? I guess? XD
  +
  +
Anyway, thank you all for your feedback, and see you ongrid! :D

====POPs Relaunched! (Personal Ongrid PrPs)====
  +
Hey, folks. So we are going to give this a go!
  +
  +
[[Personal_Ongrid_PrPs]]
  +
  +
Please share your ideas and feedback. ^^; The new format is because well, there was a lot of confusion and the like about their level of epic that wasn't fair to anyone. I'm hoping this is better moving forward.
  +
  +
===May 3, 2018===
  +
====Underworld Shenanigans!====
  +
For longtime players here, and new, we've all known that the Underworld in Alexandria spins in three parts:
  +
* Ebon Syndicate: A cult of Taaran and Illothan interests. Smugglers and dealers with a mercantile side. NPC only.
  +
* Guild of the Sly: The other half of the original split from The Guild, the Sly stands in opposition to the Syndicate. Though rogues, they possess a streak of homegrown heroism.
  +
* Sunset: A mafia with heroic intentions, and founded by underdogs. They "do what it takes" to ensure business and trade flows fairly. Founded by the arvek nar, and now joined by some merchants and the Dragoneri who are both tired of being overlooked, and are tired of the Syndicate's hold.
  +
  +
These three groups are at odds for control of the Alexandria Underworld. Each has their own motivations and outlook!
  +
  +
Recently, though, they've received a bit of a brush-up in theme! At the moment, this just clarifies some backstory. But, keep a look out in the next few weeks!
  +
  +

====Categories!====
  +
...the wiki dropdown list is no longer frightening and scary. Seriously, check'em out. :D /latenightgeeking !
  +
  +
===April 16, 2018===
  +
====Clearing the Way!====
  +
As you've all seen on the bboards, there is an ongoing thread right now with things going into the Desolation and Alexandria doing maneuvers in that area, just over and around its border.
  +
  +
The Desolation is a place full of bandits and bandit kingdoms, sure, but it is also home to Skald, the land where the Daemon Wars started and where Asumit, the demon binder, is said to dwell with his legion of the damned and what not.
  +
  +
What this means, of course, is that there's plenty of room for PRPs that deal with Alexandria trying to pacify the area just on the other side of its border, where no one really rules, in an effort to prepare the way for *something*. Just what is anybody's guess, at this point, but one doesn't have to work hard to guess that it has something to do with Asumit!
  +
  +
And this means that I'm inviting everyone to run PRPs involved in this and those PRPs will be fully awarded as the death consent PRPs they will be allowed to be (should everyone be willing.)
  +
  +
Take advantage of this offer while it lasts! :D

====GAME CONVERSION====
  +
Hi, everyone!
  +
  +
I know you've all been watching for this announcement, knowing what you know about all those new games out there!
  +
  +
That is why I am deeply pleased to announce that as of today, we are converting to the astounding and well designed, award winning game 'PUGMIRE'.
  +
  +
Watch for code to be rolled out for conversion in the coming weeks.
  +
  +
For those not familiar with this wonderful game, here's a link!

====Server Whoops!====
  +
Okay, folks -- again, httpd decided that the best possible thing it can do is to go wild with things and suicidally loot all the resources to choke everything down, and I've changed some settings for now.
  +
  +
The reason why I've been reluctant to change those is because they're likely affect things like posting logs and editing biiiiig wiki pages; basically, stuff that says "yes, this is a bit slow connection, so keepalive is nice, max page size and max post size oh let's crank up those too" to the web server.
  +
  +
If you run into a problem where the system yammers back at you about something regarding timing out or post too big or whatever, try to post in a smaller chunk, chuck in a small semi-chapter header like ---And this is where the fun begins!---, save, and continue posting by clicking on that's generated 'edit' button.
  +
  +
Sorry, I am right now a bit flu-jiggery to explain it in more reasonable way, but uhhh. Wikididdy peeps here can help?

====Happy AWD!====
  +
Happy Awkward Moments Day, everyone! May you share an awkward moment of silence with someone you love, today. Or just a friend. Or just...
  +
  +
...oh whatever.

====Scene Logger====
  +
Hello everyone, it's Bolide again!
  +
  +
I know it's a shocker, who would've thought I'd actually be here let alone saying something on behalf of staff?
  +
  +
We're gonna get right to the point and mic drop this. +help logger
  +
  +
Now, unfortunately this doesn't automagically upload it to the wiki, but it does allow you to quickly create a log file. It announces when someone drops one in a room (similar to timestops). It copies all rolls and anything sent publicly to the room. Then it allows you to spam the heck out of yourself to get a copy-pasta text that can be dropped into a wiki page. One that anyone can see in the room using the command.
  +
  +
We hope that this allows you all to more easily log events, RP, etc.
  +
  +
/mic drop
  +
  +
P.S. As always, if you have any questions don't be afraid to ask!
  +
  +
  +
===March 12, 2018===
  +
====Time Offset!====
  +
Don't forget to adjust your +time/offset for Daylight Savings! See +help time for help! Here is what to expect:
  +
  +
* March 11th, DST kicks off in the US. In Finland, it occurs March 25th!
  +
* You will need to adjust your personal +time/offset (see +help time) to reflect your local zone!
  +
* Things will be somewhat wonky between the 11th and the 25th. Just bear with us.
  +
* Time on existing +events will appear off. However, new +events should appear at the correct time.
  +
  +
Updating your +time/offset on one alt should trigger an update across all alts. If it doesn't, check +finger to make sure your alts are registered correctly. If not, just send us a +request and we'll be happy to help!
  +
  +
===March 9, 2018===
  +
====Bane Baldric Update for MUs====
  +
Hey! After some consideration, we've made an adjustment to the bane baldric. As the bane baldric exists on a MU, it is simply too strong in some instances. Most of these revolve around us just having a shorter adventuring day.
  +
  +
Going forward, the price of the baldric is lowered 30 percent, to 7,000g. However, it will now no longer grant bane if the character does not already possess that class feature.
  +
  +
If you currently have a baldric and would like to keep it, staff will be issuing you the difference in item value. If you would like to trade it in, we will be awarding you a stipend for its old value, which may be spent on anything you wish.
  +
  +
===March 8, 2018===
  +
====Extra Charge Cell====
  +
Hey, folks. This is just to let you know that we've added Extra Charge Cell to the game. It works exactly like http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/extra-bombs/ . It will be added to the wikidocs at some point in the future!
  +
  +
===March 3, 2018===
  +
====Mail!====
  +
Hey, folks. First off, I'm sorry if I've missed an @mail you've sent me. I try to keep up with them. With so much focus on +jobs though, they can get missed. If you need to get hold of me, a +job to Beaglefinder can work pretty well, and I'll see it more quickly. If you need to send one of my PCs an @mail, please send it to BF. I just have too many buckets to check and I don't want to lose hold of something you'd send me. I want to respond; I just have a lot of buckets, so please bear with. ^^;
  +
  +
:Beaglefinder!
  +
===March 2, 2018===
  +
====Artificer Update Live!====
  +
Artificer should be good to go! If you currently have an artificer, you will need to go through regen. To regen:
  +
  +
:1. Name yourself OLD<name>. Logout.
  +
:2. Login with <name>.
  +
:3. Go through L2. DO NOT BUY OR SWAP ANYTHING. Be sure and copy all BACKGROUND, DESCRIPTIONS, and etc. over.
  +
:4. Send a +request to let us know where you are. We'll then award XP, and give you a stipend based on your fractional XP.
  +
  +
As always, there may be bugs here and there. Just please bear with us. The updated artificer may be found, here: http://tenebraemush.net/index.php/Artificer_Rework Two changes are not reflected, but will be once Artificer is migrated to the main page: Aid and Haste were added as artificer spells.
  +
  +
===March 1, 2018===
  +
====Artificer Recode Update!====
  +
We are in the final hours of bug testing for artificer! Titan Armor is more dynamic than ever, so we are going through a few tweaks! In the meantime, please send Whiteout all the hugs.
  +
  +
Also:
  +
  +
* If you are planning on rearranging stats, etc. to take advantage of the new mithral discoveries, then we will ask you to plan on a regen. This makes it less likely that we mess something up, and also that you are able to get all of your stats and skills arranged how you like them.
  +
  +
If you intend to regen, do NOT anything at this time.
  +
  +
* If you are mostly swapping out discoveries, and maybe adjusting a stat, then go ahead and send in a +request with your changes. We can edit your existing PC at this time.
  +
  +
  +
We will also, due to the nature of artificer armor, be doing a WBL reset. This is done to the exact fraction of your XP. Regardless of which method you intend, please go ahead and start putting your shopping list together.
  +
  +
The artificer update may be found here: http://tenebraemush.net/index.php/Artificer_Rework This page will be merged with the main Artificer document this week. The Rework page does not reflect one change: artificers may now learn Aid and Haste as part of their spell lists. This was a last-minute addition.
  +
  +
====Artificer Recode Started!====
  +
Hey, folks! We are in the middle of updating artificer into code! Many of you have been part of this process as we've worked through drafts, bugs, and content to get where we are, today. Some good news! It looks as though no one will need to regen. We'll post with further instructions once we've run through a few bugs. In the meantime, please be sure and send Whiteout hugtoots!
  +
  +
===February 27, 2018===
  +
====Transparency Update!====
  +
Hey!
  +
  +
We're over fifteen years old! That means we're practically a teenager, or I guess if you looked in terms of digital years, we're a dinosaur. Go, go Stegosaurus!
  +
  +
Throughout that time, we have worked to ensure transparency. I mean, we're kind of a giant tabletop. That is why we're wanting to let you know that after a lot of conversation, and a lot of searching, we've instituted a trial pay program for staff.
  +
  +
This is not something we've done for fifteen years. We have, however, needed the help and you may've noticed jobs getting done a lot faster.
  +
  +
So how does it work? Well, a job is usually worth 1 pt, with CODE and LOOT being worth a little more. If a staffer accumulates 30 points, at the end of the month they may request a single PrP award for one character, or 5 RPP. Only one of these is possible, and it may be declined.
  +
  +
How has this changed the atmosphere in staff? It has, some. First, it's encouraged an ongoing, friendly competition. Staff can pull up their points list and see WHO IS AHEAD OF MEEEE, and so on. From that perspective, it's been kind of fun and we hope, helpful for the game as a whole. It has also begun to help us identify "invisible overhead." For example, if wiki updates get made, they are now a +job to ensure that task gets recorded. Since that work is now more visible, it should help us in reducing overhead in the longer term.
  +
  +
In addition to this, while they were never hidden, we've begun listing common staff alts in our +finger information.
  +
  +
Anyway, we wanted to let y'all know what's up. We welcome feedback, and look forward to seeing you both inscene and ongrid!
  +
  +

====Time Adjustment!====
  +
I've moved my geared-towards-new-players event to next Saturday, both to allow our newer players to acclimate to the game and weigh whether or not they can make it as well as to give myself a day to rest. I had serious insomnia Friday night and need to take Saturday to try to rest before I get sick. xD
  +
:ZombliePool
  +
  +
===SNIP===
  +
====Lahar Got Behind, Again!====
  +
Yeah. I got behind. XD Hey, I kept up with the IC rumors, and that's more important, right? ...right?? :D
  +
  +
===January 13, 2018===
  +
Hey, folks! In the past, we've had a few 'Ongoing PrPs.' Sebropert, Selerik, Astaren, and others have run these and helped establish them as a medium on Tenebrae! Lately, Kisaiya picked them up and reminded this old beagle that one, HEY, THOSE ARE A THING, and HEY, THEY ARE PRETTY FRIGGIN AWESOME!
  +
  +
Ongoing PrPs are PrPs where PCs cause scenes to happen through roleplay and legwork. Usually, a GM opens a queue (or PCs do) and you're like: 'I do this thing.'
  +
  +
Based on your input, scenes happen. These plox will keep rolling via scenes, ongrid interactions, legworks, and whatever else needs to happen for the story. This makes them great for things like:
  +
  +
* Skullduggery!
  +
* Exploration!
  +
* Problem-solving!
  +
* Investigation!
  +
  +
(They're pretty similar or even THE SAME THING to an arc\; it's just that the legwork thread adds this extra element of THINGS TO DO!)
  +
  +
SO! For the next two months, we'll be giving bonuses to these ONGOING PRPs. ...and any mini-arcs you'd like to run! Run one any time between now and the IDES OF MARCH, and at its completion, you'll receive an additional PrP bonus for an encounter at your level, with gold.
  +
  +
For any Ongoing PrPs, I'll also be awarding some BONUS RPPs to participating players, AND the GM, who partake actively in these Ongoing PrPs.
  +
  +
Come talk to me if you're curious or would like help. :3 As an aside, if you're wanting to involve a 'just two skill points per level' PC and are flailing, I wrote the darn RPP system. Come see me and I'll help you use it to flesh out your awesome story. Or, addcom tpk=TPK to join our GM's channel, as well! We have so many great folks here on Tenebrae, and each and every one of you are made of awesome. :3

Bane Baldric Update for MUs

Hey! After some consideration, we've made an adjustment to the bane baldric. As the bane baldric exists on a MU, it is simply too strong in some instances. Most of these revolve around us just having a shorter adventuring day.

Going forward, the price of the baldric is lowered 30 percent, to 7,000g. However, it will now no longer grant bane if the character does not already possess that class feature.

If you currently have a baldric and would like to keep it, staff will be issuing you the difference in item value. If you would like to trade it in, we will be awarding you a stipend for its old value, which may be spent on anything you wish.

Extra Charge Cell

Hey, folks. This is just to let you know that we've added Extra Charge Cell to the game. It works exactly like http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/extra-bombs/ . It will be added to the wikidocs at some point in the future!

Mail!

Hey, folks. First off, I'm sorry if I've missed an @mail you've sent me. I try to keep up with them. With so much focus on +jobs though, they can get missed. If you need to get hold of me, a +job to Beaglefinder can work pretty well, and I'll see it more quickly. If you need to send one of my PCs an @mail, please send it to BF. I just have too many buckets to check and I don't want to lose hold of something you'd send me. I want to respond; I just have a lot of buckets, so please bear with. ^^;

Artificer Update Live!

Artificer should be good to go! If you currently have an artificer, you will need to go through regen. To regen:

1. Name yourself OLD<name>. Logout.
2. Login with <name>.
3. Go through L2. DO NOT BUY OR SWAP ANYTHING. Be sure and copy all BACKGROUND, DESCRIPTIONS, and etc. over.
4. Send a +request to let us know where you are. We'll then award XP, and give you a stipend based on your fractional XP.

As always, there may be bugs here and there. Just please bear with us. The updated artificer may be found, here: http://tenebraemush.net/index.php/Artificer_Rework Two changes are not reflected, but will be once Artificer is migrated to the main page: Aid and Haste were added as artificer spells.

Artificer Recode Update!

We are in the final hours of bug testing for artificer! Titan Armor is more dynamic than ever, so we are going through a few tweaks! In the meantime, please send Whiteout all the hugs.

Also:

  • If you are planning on rearranging stats, etc. to take advantage of the new mithral discoveries, then we will ask you to plan on a regen. This makes it less likely that we mess something up, and also that you are able to get all of your stats and skills arranged how you like them.

If you intend to regen, do NOT anything at this time.

  • If you are mostly swapping out discoveries, and maybe adjusting a stat, then go ahead and send in a +request with your changes. We can edit your existing PC at this time.


We will also, due to the nature of artificer armor, be doing a WBL reset. This is done to the exact fraction of your XP. Regardless of which method you intend, please go ahead and start putting your shopping list together.

The artificer update may be found here: http://tenebraemush.net/index.php/Artificer_Rework This page will be merged with the main Artificer document this week. The Rework page does not reflect one change: artificers may now learn Aid and Haste as part of their spell lists. This was a last-minute addition.

Artificer Recode Started!

Hey, folks! We are in the middle of updating artificer into code! Many of you have been part of this process as we've worked through drafts, bugs, and content to get where we are, today. Some good news! It looks as though no one will need to regen. We'll post with further instructions once we've run through a few bugs. In the meantime, please be sure and send Whiteout hugtoots!

Transparency Update!

Hey!

We're over fifteen years old! That means we're practically a teenager, or I guess if you looked in terms of digital years, we're a dinosaur. Go, go Stegosaurus!

Throughout that time, we have worked to ensure transparency. I mean, we're kind of a giant tabletop. That is why we're wanting to let you know that after a lot of conversation, and a lot of searching, we've instituted a trial pay program for staff.

This is not something we've done for fifteen years. We have, however, needed the help and you may've noticed jobs getting done a lot faster.

So how does it work? Well, a job is usually worth 1 pt, with CODE and LOOT being worth a little more. If a staffer accumulates 30 points, at the end of the month they may request a single PrP award for one character, or 5 RPP. Only one of these is possible, and it may be declined.

How has this changed the atmosphere in staff? It has, some. First, it's encouraged an ongoing, friendly competition. Staff can pull up their points list and see WHO IS AHEAD OF MEEEE, and so on. From that perspective, it's been kind of fun and we hope, helpful for the game as a whole. It has also begun to help us identify "invisible overhead." For example, if wiki updates get made, they are now a +job to ensure that task gets recorded. Since that work is now more visible, it should help us in reducing overhead in the longer term.

In addition to this, while they were never hidden, we've begun listing common staff alts in our +finger information.

Anyway, we wanted to let y'all know what's up. We welcome feedback, and look forward to seeing you both inscene and ongrid!

- Your Tenebrae Staff

Time Adjustment!

I've moved my geared-towards-new-players event to next Saturday, both to allow our newer players to acclimate to the game and weigh whether or not they can make it as well as to give myself a day to rest. I had serious insomnia Friday night and need to take Saturday to try to rest before I get sick. xD

Lahar Got Behind, Again!

Yeah. I got behind. XD Hey, I kept up with the IC rumors, and that's more important, right? ...right?? :D

January 13, 2018

Hey, folks! In the past, we've had a few 'Ongoing PrPs.' Sebropert, Selerik, Astaren, and others have run these and helped establish them as a medium on Tenebrae! Lately, Kisaiya picked them up and reminded this old beagle that one, HEY, THOSE ARE A THING, and HEY, THEY ARE PRETTY FRIGGIN AWESOME!

Ongoing PrPs are PrPs where PCs cause scenes to happen through roleplay and legwork. Usually, a GM opens a queue (or PCs do) and you're like: 'I do this thing.'

Based on your input, scenes happen. These plox will keep rolling via scenes, ongrid interactions, legworks, and whatever else needs to happen for the story. This makes them great for things like:

  • Skullduggery!
  • Exploration!
  • Problem-solving!
  • Investigation!

(They're pretty similar or even THE SAME THING to an arc\; it's just that the legwork thread adds this extra element of THINGS TO DO!)

SO! For the next two months, we'll be giving bonuses to these ONGOING PRPs. ...and any mini-arcs you'd like to run! Run one any time between now and the IDES OF MARCH, and at its completion, you'll receive an additional PrP bonus for an encounter at your level, with gold.

For any Ongoing PrPs, I'll also be awarding some BONUS RPPs to participating players, AND the GM, who partake actively in these Ongoing PrPs.

Come talk to me if you're curious or would like help. :3 As an aside, if you're wanting to involve a 'just two skill points per level' PC and are flailing, I wrote the darn RPP system. Come see me and I'll help you use it to flesh out your awesome story. Or, addcom tpk=TPK to join our GM's channel, as well! We have so many great folks here on Tenebrae, and each and every one of you are made of awesome. :3
