Um, sorry all, I've been away from the internet for some time now. I'm sorry about not being able to contribute to the LARP, but I thought I'd have more time than I actually have.

Am I to take this as permission to kill off your character? Don't worry you can always rejoin later or just make appearances as a NPC. Just not as Ditzie.

Library Data

skittle: plural: skittles, perfectly spherical objects that periodically dot the surface of Farpoint (xxxx Foreven). They are thought to be caused by the action deep ocean volcanoes that leach out pure elements and the constant action of the currents shapes them into spherical hollow objects that eventually migrate their way to the surface and reside in the ice or pop out due to the constant freezing and thawing of world ocean's currents beneath the ice.

Elements across the periodical table, including the elusive super heavy elements, albeit quite rare. Most common are gold, silver and certain radioactives.

Oddly some do appear to have traces of complex refined hydrocarbons on the surface. It is hypothesized that they might be pools of hydrocarbons next to giant volcanoes, yet no evidence has yet been mounted to support this conclusion.

They are collected by surface prospectors, so-called: skittlebuggers (see: skittlebuggers and several Imperial megacorporations have mounted undersea operations but none have found the established the precise origin of these oddities.

Referee Note: Due to the hostile underwater life, many Imperial Corporations have backed away from mounting further operations. Deep shaft mining of the few surface outcroppings has been met with fierce resistance from the native Skittlebuggers mounting sometimes acts of sabotage and organizing the students from nearby institutes to engage in non-violent opposition through sit-ins, demonstrations, boycotts, etc.

Furthermore, the apparent randomness of their appearance on the surface leads to no one site where they would be concentrated. The honeycomb nature of the world also hampers the successful extratraction of the skittles. Therefore, there exists an unequal equilibrium between the native skittles and the thousands of Imperial students who descend upon the world each semester, as some are granted citizenship and permission to settle.

Combat

As mentioned earlier, the LARP does tend to shy away from combat but there are instances when combat becomes a neccessity. The rules governing combat are a modified CT.

I will supply the player(s) with a number which is the "to hit" and the number of hit points of the opposing party. Players are encouraged to roll dice (electronic or actual) off the board. They then take the dmg roll and divided into the hit points. This will give a percentage which they could use to incorporate into the narrative.

For insance, Smooth rolls 10 using a 2D6 and 8+ is needed to hit. Moves on to rolling for a dagger and rolls 5. Against the thug who has 15 hit points. 5/15 = 33%. Then the thug retailates and misses. Smooth takes another attack scores only 1pt dmg. Thug scores a natural 12. With Smooth going back to score another 6. Then watching the thug fall, delivers a coup de grace.

This would narrated as the following:

Smooth lunges the dagger into the eye of the thug (33% dmg). Blood is everywhere. The thug stumbles backward but pulls out a revolver and fires at Smooth. His Dexerty effected by the loss of one eye, fires and misses. Smooth takes another lunge, hitting in the forearm. Thug smiles, and fires again, hitting Smooth smack in the chest. With one deadly lunge, Smooth summons all his strength and attacks the thug and again hits the thug with all his force. Mortally wounding the thug before delievering the coup de grace.

BTW, big thanks for all the players/NPCs who have visited the adventure to keep it going. One year on, we have managed to get the largest number of pages on any given post.
