2020 Annual Registration Form
Hello Kanar members old and new!
The Annual Registration Form (ARF) for the 2020 season is now live. Please take a few minutes to fill out this very important form to prepare for adventure in the coming year. Also, as a reminder, a new Annual Registration Form is needed every year and is one of the core requirements to hitting the field of play.
Feast Payment
Hello players! Just a quick couple of notes regarding Feast entry:
1) You can make a payment online through the website, or in-person at the door. Paying in advance means that you get a receipt, and you don't have to have cash on you. Receipts will not be provided at the door.
2) Payments sent directly to the club's Paypal account without using the website are no longer accepted, as this prevents the payment from being recorded correctly. If you would like to use Paypal, please go to the kanar.club website and make the payment as normal, then choose "Paypal" as your payment method.
3) Players who are banned from KGE events are also banned from Feast. Players who are on our Hold list due to existing issues will also be held at the door pending any possible resolution of the issue.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding this matter, please feel free to email our Corporate Treasurer at treasurer@kanar.club.
A Knighting at Feast
Lord Sir Buliwyf Gregor
Hear Ye, Hear Ye! Be it knowne to one and all, by the Graciousness of His Serene Majesty, King Daffyd Balthshazzar, it is by noble right we do put forth these greetings and salutations! O' Novashan, your son, Armiger Adriel D'Arrangard has proven his valor, his prowess, and his charity to thee. It is the distinct pleasure of his knight, Lord Sir Buliwyf Gregor, to announce that Armiger Adriel Arrangard shall be raised up, a knight of theRose, a servant of His Majesty and His noble court, to uphold the ideals of chivalry and justice.
He shall be raised at the Great Winter Feast of 1020, to be witnessed by the Rose and knights of the Thistle, at the hand of His Majesty's choosing. Come forth, all ye peoples, and ready the trumpets, unfurl the banners, and praise glorious His name, King Daffyd... and hold Adriel in all glory for his deeds.
Armiger Adriel shall sit vigil at the homestead of Sergeant Alrim Horst, beginning at the sixth bell on the eve of The Great Feast of 1020, and shall reflect upon his worthiness. Come all ye of Novashan, and be invited to engage in such conversation that he be most engaged, bring a small bite of sustenance that thy Armiger shall repay with drink in kind.
Celebrate and rejoice, O' Novashan. The greatness of His Majesty be witnessed, I beg thee bid my friend and trusted companion, Armiger Adriel Arrangard, praise and glory for his name, for the Order of the Rose, the Order of the Thistle, and His Most Serene and Glorious Majesty, King Daffyd Balthshazzar! Long Live the King!
Adriel will be sitting vigil beginning at 6 pm at Matt Schaar's house. There will be a grill made available if you choose to bring something to eat. Adriel will be sitting until 1 am, at which time he will sit in solitude. There will be games made available and an area for people to chat as characters or as players. Bring armaments if you wish, as we may (or may not) have sparring depending on conditions.
Beginning at 8 pm until 11:30 pm, Adriel will be read, each 1/2 hour, a different vice/virtue pairing. A short Treatise on these 7 vices and virtues will be here in the files area, and will also be made available at his vigil if you would like to participate!

CBM Staff Update - Racial Skills
Hello Players!
Please take a moment to review the information below. CBM staff will be wrapping up requests for skill changes on Feb 1st. Please do not delay actions described below if they are applicable to your character, and let others you talk to know they might have something they need to act on (half-breeds have slightly more to pay attention to/act on).
According to the recently approved changes with the Racial Bonuses in the 2020 rulebook, the CBM staff will be adding the following list of skills to full-blooded non-human characters at no XP cost:
Common Elves: Resist Charm, Resist Sleep
Forest Elves: Resist Disease, Resist Sleep
Dwarves: Resist Charm, Resist Stun
Halflings: Resist Charm, Resist Disease
Half-breeds of those listed above will have the opportunity to pick one of the two skills listed for their race.
Half-Ogres will receive: Resist Disease, Resist Stun
Half-Orcs will receive: Resist Stun, Resist Sleep
In addition to the changes above, all non-human races listed (full and half-breeds) will have their previous free racial skills charged to their character. This might drop certain characters into a negative point balance and that is OK if the player would like to keep it that way and gradually work off that point debt (just like when the skill costs all changed), but don't stop reading here if you have questions.
Here are the actionable parts with deadlines:
If you are full non-human race - You have until 11:59p on Jan 31st to send the CBM staff an email (kgecbd@gmail.com) stating if you would like to drop your prior racial skills from the previous 2019 update. If you request them to be removed, their points will be refunded to your available XP balance.
*** If we do not receive a response from you by the deadline, then your old skills will remain on your character with their associated costs. This might drop you into point debt which will get worked off as you continue to play.
If you are a half-breed - You have until 11:59p on Jan 31st to send the CBM staff an email (kgecbd@gmail.com) stating which resistance you want and if you would like to drop your prior racial skill from the previous 2019 update. If you request the old skill to be removed, its points will be refunded to your available XP balance.
*** If we do not receive a response from you then your old skill will remain on your character with its associated cost and the first listed resist skill of the two free ones according to race above will be added to your character. If we receive a response that only answers one of those two questions, then the part you answered will be completed as requested and the other part will be completed as described in the previous sentence.
All rulebook change character updates will be completed prior to the first event of the year according to the request emails received prior to Feb 1st - the only exceptions will be those characters who have not been played in over two years that need to be converted from the old formats.
This notice will be posted within the Facebook group, on the club website, and sent as emails (hopefully tonight or tomorrow night) to those we flag as non-human races. We are doing the best we can to reach out to the players who are affected and all players may help us by telling/reminding their friends that they might have something to do for their characters.
Thank you for your time, understanding, and assistance.
