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.
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.
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!
Contact Luc d'Beaufait for more information.
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.
The BLD would like to remind all players that if you have a structure or storage box locked on field that the Building and Land Department needs a copy of the key or combination.
This is to ensure that in an emergency the Building and Land Department can gain access to all structures and storage on KGE property.
We thank you for your cooperation and if you have any questions please contact us at BLD@Kanar.club
Hello everyone and happy New Year!

Agenda submissions for this meeting have a deadline of next week: Sunday, January 5th, 2020. Agenda submissions can be sent to the Secretary at secretary@kanar.club.
Also a reminder for KGE members, the 2020 Annual Registration Form will be live in the coming days so make sure you get one filled out well ahead of the KANAR season.

Hello, members!
At our October board meeting, a proposal was approved to create a "Cantrell Sponsorship". This sponsorship will cover the cost of a Season Pass for two players per year, in memory of Shane Cantrell and his time with our club.
Applicants must submit a 1,000-word essay describing how:
Our club has benefited them during their time playing
How they are working to give back to the club
Why receiving a Season Pass at no cost would make a difference for them
Essays are not anonymous and may be quoted in part or whole by KGE for club purposes. Entries will be scored individually by three judges based on the three categories above as well as general readability, and final scores will be calculated by the Treasurer.
Entries will be accepted for a period of one month (ending Jan 2nd), beginning immediately, and should be sent to treasurer@kanar.club. Winners will be announced at Winter Feast.
Thank you for your time.
Matt Ash
KGE Treasurer
We are pleased to announce the winners are Holly E. and Nathan N.

Some things to keep in mind for over the winter crafting!
There are 20 crafting weeks over the winter. It is your responsibility to fill out the item creation form for your craft to reflect this.
If you are CRAFTING FOR COIN, you still need to fill out the item creation form. There is an option on it for crafting for coin-this sends econ staff all the info we need to get your deposit in.
If you are not sure of how many of something you can make, check the crafting packet related to your craft. That info is there.
Please READ the item creation form. I realize some sections have a lot of text, but a lot of questions I get are explained in that text already.
If you have questions about anything on the item creation form please email Econ@kanar.club with the question instead of guessing or saying "however many I can make."
Good morning Kanarbies.
Ballots for the open Even Year Representative seat have been sent out as of this morning. If you are hold Veteran membership status (2+ years) and are currently in Good Standing (no debts/disciplinary actions) and have not received your ballot, please email the Board of Directors at bod@kanar.club.
Voting will be open for seven days, starting today. Polls will close on Friday November 15th at noon.
Thank you

Below you will find links to the 2020 version of our Rulebook (which does not take effect until next year), a list of overall changes which have been made, and a detailed list of changes made to our Master Spell List.
We realize that you will have questions about these changes (though probably much fewer than last year). We do plan to post one or more videos walking you through each of the overall changes, but a good portion of our staff is very sick at the moment and cannot record those on a few hours' notice. We hope to record and post them later this week, but we ask for your patience.
Any questions you comment with on this post will be taken into consideration while recording them, but staff will not be answering directly. As always, the official method to request a rules clarification is still through the Playmaster Form.
Good morning, players:
The PM Staff and RBC would like your feedback regarding a couple of the changes implemented in the 2020 Rulebook. Please feel free to discuss as you wish, but staff will be reviewing the results of the survey directly. This survey will remain open for up to one week.
Thank you for your time.

Hello,
As many of you are already aware, recently someone broke into the GM trailer and stole a generator and some tools. We know this is not the first time that someone(s) has either broken into or stole items from the field, couple this with some cars losing items. We are angry that this has happened. If anyone has any information regarding any of these burglaries, please tell us, and we will do what we can to bring the people responsible to justice.
For the land, we are taking a look at assorted safety measures we can utilize to help all of us out. From new locks, gates, cameras, and more, we are doing what we can, so the chances of this happening again are considerably less. So if someone is foolish enough to burgle again, we can catch them and hopefully stop anything terrible from happening. For this most recent activity, know that we are calling the police and abiding by whatever instructions they give us.
In the case of cars and other personal property, we urge that whenever you leave your vehicle, you ensure it is locked. We hope that others would not take any liberties to investigate the contents of your car, but we also don’t want to present them the opportunity. By taking some safety precautions, we hope that no more incidents happen. Again, if you know of anyone doing anything inappropriate, please inform us so we may take the necessary steps.
We thank you for your time,
The Board of Directors
On Monday October 21st and Tuesday October 22nd the Building and Land Department is getting 100 tons of gravel and crushed concrete delivered to the KGE parking lot. This material is not to be used by the players for personal sites on field as it is being allocated 100% to fixing the parking lot.
Please refrain from going to the field on these days as the parking lot will be unavailable for use.
Thank you for your cooperation,
The Building and Land Department

The GM 1st will not be out until Saturday around 3-ish. If you have a non-combative role playing encounter, that can be run anytime during the event and will not prevent your PC from going on field. If it is, a combative encounter then the GM staff would like this resolved before your PC goes on field. The GM 2nd will be out Friday but there are a few of you that the GM 1st will need you to wait until I get there. Thank you.
The Econ department has created a new Item Creation Form to replace the old one. This new form is more user-friendly to crafters and don’t forget you need to fill it out even if all you want to make between events is coin! Please use the new form as the old one will soon be archived and no longer accepting submissions.
Updates will be completed before Friday of the event (hopefully they will all be completed tonight). We do not need constant reminders regarding when the event is, that you haven’t received your update yet, that something didn’t get applied to your update which you felt should have but have yet to receive any reason as to why, etc. PLEASE WAIT until we say they are done (we will post in this group when they have been completed), Read the email you receive, and then you can ask questions via email and we will eventually get back to you about them.
We are sorry that this is taking longer than most appear to like, but this event and last event have had their own issues and process updates across multiple staff groups which have aided in causing delays. We are working on updating a lot of things, but it will all get done when it is supposed to be completed by. Thank you for your potentially renewed patience.

Hello Everyone! I know you all love hearing from me, so here is another "little" update from staff about some Bonus XP opportunities and how you may claim your earnings. Yay!
The various staff groups are able to award Between Event Bonus XP for various purposes such as taking part in workdays for the BLD, donating money to the QM, writing encounters for the GM, taking part in the various rules committees for PMs, walking down Plank Road and picking up trash for Adopt-A-Road, etc. Occasionally you will see workday or donation requests on this Facebook group... that is what they are offering in exchange! More XP! Wooooo!
If you find yourself wanting to take part in these things in an effort to earn more xp so your character can get xp swole, look out for those announcements.
After you complete between event tasks for staff:
Go to the kanar.club website
Hover over the [Events] menu dropdown
Fill out the "Between Events Staff XP Form".
As long as the deadlines are followed, this Bonus XP will get added at the same time as that month's character updates are being processed (provided everything goes as planned).
XP submission deadlines are the same dates as character signout deadlines, so the earlier you claim your efforts the better.
Feel free to ask questions if you have them. Ooh De Lally!
- DW
TLDR before the body: Check your signout responses before clicking next/submit. Please.
If you do not meet all of the event requirements prior to their deadlines then you will not get NPC XP, you will not be able to learn new skills, and skills you taught at the event will not be granted to the characters you taught them to. The following are your requirements:
Pay your membership fee before you step onto the field
This only needs to be done one time per year
Fill out your ARF before you step onto the field
This only needs to be done one time per year
Pay the event fee before you step onto the field
Sign in at the event before you step onto the field
Submit your signout within 8 days after the event.
(The first three things are supposed to be done before you go on the field, but that deadline generally gets flexed to match the signout deadline)
When completing your signout - Do not give us nicknames for characters when saying who you taught things to or who taught things to you. You must provide the players, or characters, real name (both would even be appreciated and might help you unexpectedly). CBM staff checks references while completing updates; we will not do extensive research in an effort to find people or understand who someone might be talking about. Find out your teachers/students name and ask them how to spell it.
If you provide shortened names or nicknames that haven’t been approved/discussed between the player and CBM staff, then skills might be denied. If a characters name is Beeblebroxpuffsalot and that is the name on their character file, but everyone calls them Sam, then we better see beeblebroxpuffsalot as the teacher/student, unless they had a discussion with the CBM to change the reference name on their file. If you have a long or strange spelled name that people don’t call you (and you don’t understand what I am saying here), then you should send an email to kgecbd@gmail.com so that we can try to talk it out.
This might require you to have an out-of-game discussion with players, or it might require you to write things down. Both would be beneficial to you.
If you misspell your real or character name on your own signout, your update might get overlooked… and that might cause you to miss out on learning/teaching skills and other fun things. Pay attention to what you are doing and double check your answers.
Please do not assume that we know who you might be talking about based on what someone looks like, what their name kinda sounds like, etc. We need their name (not the nickname you tend to call them or a description of what they look like).
If you trust yourself to remember something, but then forget it - you are putting the possibility of not getting what you want on your update in the hands of you remembering things. Help us help you. Write things down so you don’t forget.
When completing your signout - If you teach or learn a skill then you myst provide the skill name as it appears in the Rulebook. If skill names do not match, characters might be denied skills. Also, be sure to include specialization names with skills that should have specializations. Again, CBM staff checks references while completing updates; we are not going to do extensive research in an effort to find people or understand things which should be explicitly written.
“Short Weapons Group/Small Weapons Group” is not a skill.
“Skinning” is not a skill.
“Wizard Spells” is not a skill.
“Healing magic” is not a skill.
“Resist Toxin” is not a skill.
“Read/Write” is not a skill by itself. This must have a language type specialization associated to it, such as “Read/Write (Common)” or “Read/Write (Forest Elven)”.
“Disguise” is not a skill by itself. “Craft (Disguise)” is the skill name which must also include a level which was taught/learned. The same goes for all other crafts, trade skills, and spell slot levels.
“First level spell slots”, “first circle spells”, and “first tier spells” are not skills. You must name the type of slots (Fire-air, earth-water, or bardic) and the level of the slot, and the number of slots you are trying to purchase (x1, x2, x17, etc).
You cannot train someone in a skill that they do not already have the pre-reqs listed on their character sheet for. You may not “store an advanced skill teaching” for a rainy day after you decide to pickup the pre-reqs … As a skill teacher, you might have to ask “do you already know the basics of X”, or as the student you might have to ask “is there anything I should know or focus on prior to learning this.”
You cannot train someone to deathstrike if they do not already have the Add Dmg +4 skill on their character sheet
You cannot train someone the Basic Enchantment Level 3 skill if they do not already have Basic Enchantment Level 2 skill on their character sheet
You cannot train someone Potion Making 1 unless they already have Herbalism 1, Flora Lore, Alchemy 1, Math, and Read/Write (*whatever*) skills on their character sheet
You cannot teach someone the Resurrection Ceremony if they do not have a 9th level E/W spell slot and/or three years have not already passed since you were taught the ceremony (or since you last taught someone else the ceremony).
If you finished learning/teaching this ceremony in November of 2018, you can’t start teaching it until March of 2022 (provided the last event of the year is November and the first event of the year is march) and your new student won’t be able to use it until after they have trained on-field for 6 events with you and it is added to their character sheet (at BEST, that would be September of 2022). They (nor you) will be able to teach it until three years after that have passed (you may both start teaching again in September of 2025). If you are currently training for the Rez ceremony, please email the CBMs because your teacher has possibly missed a vital step in the process and we need to make sure to work out those kinks immediately so that you do not suffer.
You cannot learn a lore specialization prior to learning the base lore first. If you want “terrain lore (forest)” then you must have “terrain lore” on your sheet first.
Do not submit multiple signouts. Check the work on your signouts and then click next/submit. If you discover you made a mistake after you submitted your signout, send an email to the CBMs.
If you accidentally make a mistake, we will do what we can to help you and let you know what needs to happen in the future. Please email us follow-up questions if you have any.
Read the questions, read the descriptions under the questions, think of an appropriate response and then fill out the form.
Multiple signouts clog the gears, skew event stats, and cause confusion if we are not aware of their coming. Ask before you do it.
If you have questions about the signout, ask the CBM staff. Don’t know what should go where? Email the cbms. Get confused easily by the form? Email the cbms. Do it before the deadlines and you will be a much happier player.
We try to answer questions promptly. We try to work with people the best we can. We try to be nice and accommodating and super cool people, but every mistake adds extra time to our process and it starts to hurt the soul when we would like to play outside but we get stuck inside doing homework. Don’t make this into a Rudolph and Olive (the other reindeer) situation. Be the Santa. 😀
One Love,
-DW

KGE wants to promote a way in which players and non-players alike can capture pivotal moments in our games. We want to also make sure that those that wish to not be photographed are given ample time to be aware of those taking pictures and video so that they make take the necessary steps to avoid said person. KGE will take these steps to handle photography:
People that do not wish to be photographed must have an up to date media exclusion list form with the media team. This form shall include a photograph of them. This photograph will help aid those taking pictures of who is on the list.
At least 7 days before an event, the person wishing to do photography on field will email the media team with the following:
The dates they wish to photograph
Approximate locations they wish to photograph
Approximate times they wish to photograph
A picture of themselves to aid those on the media exclusion list.
After this email is received, media team will send an email to the media exclusion list. They may also post that photography will be happening on other social media outlets.
During the event, the photographer will attempt to abide by the media exclusion list, but it is up to players to attempt to remove themselves from the photos.
After the event, media team can offer to work with the various photographers to help see if anyone on the media exclusion list was accidentally in a picture.
Photographers should remember that with all pictures taken, a copy is given to KGE to be used as they see fit.
This process is not exclusionary to photography and includes videography as well.

The first Saturday of the weeklong we will be having a Larp Sale in the Parking lot. From 12 to 6 feel free to set up in your parking space. We ask if you are selling to try to be near the front so to not interfere with traffic. Thanks!
We have a much higher rate of poison ivy growth this year than in years past. If you are going to be running off trail make sure you have full length pants and boots on. NPC Land is extra full of the stuff.
Yes - the bugs are bad. Bring lots of spray and don’t count on others providing it. Everyone is responsible for their own bug spray.
We have a good amount of water on he field with more rain on the way. Wet socks will kill an event. Pack extra socks and then pack some more.
Looking forward to seeing everyone at the week long event.
As Weeklong comes closer, just a quick reminder, our 10 day event is $40.00 for the event fee. That gives access to the full ten days as well as the experience that comes with it!
David Angell,
Treasurer
Reminder that all players have until the end of the June 2019 weeklong event to pick up any tags dated before 2019. Backlogged tags have piled up. If you feel that you have tags to be picked up that are from 2018 or earlier, and know you will not make it to the event, you may send an email to kanarecon@gmail.com from your KGE registered email with your full legal name (as written on your ARF) and the full legal name of one person you will allow to pick your tags up for you. This request needs to be put in prior to June 10, 2019.
Thank you,
Economics staff
As feast coordinator for Kanar 2020, I will be setting the bar at Cobblestone Farms for the location and the new caterer (What's Cooking in Ann Arbor) we used last year (2019). If anyone would like to challenge these 2 things, please message me so I can work with you to investigate any suggested options and report it to the BoD for consideration.

Good morning everyone! Due to reasons I can't schedule a May litter pickup for adopt a road (still looking for someone to help with that). However, if you take before and after pictures and fill at least one garbage bag cleaning up part the area from the field north to Allison road and email said pictures to kanarroad@gmail.com, I will make sure you get some points. Please dispose of the bag in our dumpster, and these pictures should be submitted or timestampped before May 31st.
Thank you.

The BoD approved of a proposal at the April meeting to allow staff time for any staff between events to count toward the 200 bonus XP that is available to be earned each season. Previously, the 200 Extra XP could only be earned through donating time or money to QM, BLD, or Adopt-a-Road. Any work done for the GM, PM, CBM, BLD, QM, Safety, and Adopt-a-Road, is now eligible to count toward the 200 Extra XP, with the following conditions:
The maximum amount of XP that any player can earn each season is 200 XP. This is counted by player, NOT by character (so you cannot earn 200 for your primary PC and an additional 200 for your secondary PC).
You can earn a maximum of 100 XP per staff group. That is, in order to max out the 200 XP, you must volunteer for/donate to at least two staff groups.
In order to submit staff time to receive XP, you MUST fill out the “Between Events Staff XP” Google Form.
Multiple form submissions may be required if you did work for more than one staff group between events.
This form is very similar to the Between Event Signout Form and your claimed time must be submitted through this form for approval
XP is earned at the same rate as NPC XP – 1 XP per half hour of work. Make sure to document your hours accurately. Some staff groups may have lists of certain tasks that they plan to award a certain amount of XP for based on the average amount of time it takes to complete a task or importance of the task. (For example: The QM staff might state that they will award 1 XP per nametag sewn onto NPC clothing, or the GM staff might say players may earn 2 points per module submission that is approved, etc.)
All Google Form submissions will be sent to the 1stof the staff who you are submitting time toward (that is, if you submit between event work for the GM staff, select GM on the form and the email will go to the GM staff).
The 1sts will then have authority to approve or deny your submission. If they deny your submission, they will contact you by email to let you know why your submission was denied.
At the end of each submission period, the 1sts will need to finish reviewing all submissions received for the month and add any XP earned to the CBM’s between event XP tracking file.
The CBM will then add any bonus XP from the previous month to character sheets at the time they do character updates.
Please note that this policy will take effect the day after the May event, May 20th, and the earning period for this season will run until Feast 2020. After Feast 2020, a new season will begin and you can earn 200 XP again.
Late form submissions will be accepted until the end of the season. No bonus XP submissions will be accepted for the season if submitted more than 8 days after Feast.
The earning/submission periods for the rest of this year can be found in the table below. These dates follow the same pattern as regular signout submissions and updates:
If you would like to receive an email anytime a change has been made to your character sheet, please do the following (NOTE: THIS WILL ONLY WORK IF YOU ARE SIGNED IN TO GOOGLE/HAVE A GMAIL ADDRESS):
Open your character sheet in Google Sheets.
At the top, click Tools > Notification rules.
In the window that appears, select "Any changes are made”.
In the window that appears, select "Email – right away".
Click Done.
Even though the CBM staff no longer emails out updated character sheets each month, this will allow you to know when your sheet has been updated so you can go view it.
The BoD approved of a proposal at the April meeting to allow scheduled staff time to count toward NPC time. Any scheduled hours spent staffing during scheduled events now count toward your NPC hours for the event. The maximum amount of NPC time that can be earned for any given event is still 12 XP (or 60 XP for weeklong), and is earned at the same rate for NPCing or staffing – 1 XP per half hour.
Please make sure to describe any staff time on your signout, under the “What NPCs did you play?” question. Include how many hours you spent working for each staff, as the CBM will be validating this information with all of the 1sts before awarding XP. Combine your staff hours and NPC hours and list that number under the “How many hours (total) did you spend NPCing?” question. For any further questions about this policy, please contact the CBM Staff.
The GSOM has updated their policies regarding teaching skills during event. The maximum number of different skills any character may teach during a scheduled event is 4. This means that you may teach 4 distinct skills to other characters; you may still teach multiple characters a single skill as a group and it will only count as one skill taught toward your limit.
As a reminder: The number of hours it takes to teach a skill to another character is equivalent to the cost of the skill divided by 10. So, if you are teaching a 30 point skill (based on the class of the STUDENT(S)), that means that it takes a MINIMUM of 3 hours to teach the skill. If you are teaching an expensive skill that costs 450 points, for example, it will take you a minimum of 45 hours to teach the skill (which will obviously take more than one event).
Please only list skills that you have taught/learned on your signout once you have finished the lesson. The CBM staff does not track the total hours you taught/learned skills – this remains on the honor system. The CBM staff only needs to know once you have completed a lesson so that they are able to update character sheets with the learned skills.

NOTE: This post will be updated as announcements come in, it is recommended to check back once again shortly before the May event.
Attention Members!
Due to the damage that has been done to the trails by vehicles driving onto the lands, the KGE Board of Directors have declared that there is to be ABSOLUTELY NO DRIVING on the field of play until approval has been given by the BoD. Please assist our community in keeping the trails safe and usable for our events and the events of others.
Thank you,
Jacob Smith
KGE Corporate Secretary
Hello everyone,
Your KGE Corporate Secretary is here hoping everyone had a great event weekend and coming to you with a quick reminder:
The next Board of Directors meeting is in approximately two weeks, on Sunday, April 28th at 1pm. It will be located at our usual venue, the Pittsfield Township offices. The address for the meeting is located on the meeting's event page. Submissions for the meeting's agenda are due at the end of this week, on Sunday, April 21st. If you have something you would like to submit, please send it to either secretary@kanar.club or bod@kanar.club before the deadline.
Thank you and happy adventuring,
Jacob Smith
Corporate Secretary
There is currently a 20 yard dumpster near the QM Shed. The Staff are using it to dispose of refuse from the Supply Depot, to start converting that area to additional camping space and eventual camper / fifth wheel parking.
However, there is an issue with the size of the pallets, and the internal volume of the dumpster.
We have too many pallets, and they take up too much space.
THUS, the building and land department is offering a 10xp bounty for members that are willing to break down 10 pallets, and toss the pieces into the dumpster. This bounty will be awarded when accompanied by a picture of the ten pallets before breaking down, and a picture of the ten pallets in pieces, post-destruction.
Zach and Craig moved about 30 pallets into the parking lot, beside the dumpster, to start the process.
As a reminder, we are not sending out individual update emails each month - you will only get an email if you submitted a signout for a new or previously unconverted character; if there were issues with your signout that we needed to make you aware of (i.e. you weren’t approved for an update, we couldn’t grant a skill, etc.); or if you left a comment or question in the CBM Comments section of the signout that we needed to address.
Lastly, if you are a new player planning to come out to the next event, we would love to get your character sheet created prior to the event so it saves us both time at the event. Please email us at kgecbd@gmail.com and give us your character deets and let us know if you have any questions!
Kanar Rule Book – version 3/2019 – page 24 – Status Effects Chart;
Stunned: Target cannot see, hear, or take any action. If they are not already laying down, the target must immediately fall to the ground. They may groan in pain while falling. This status will immediately end if the target receives any damage or is shaken by another character. Deathblows may be administered to the target.
Kanar Rule Book – version 3/2019 – page 20 – Armor Locations;
A suit of armor is divided into 7 locations: 2 legs, 2 arms, front torso, rear torso, and head. Armor points are given based on the number of locations armored.
Leather Armor : 5AP/location
Composite Armor : 10AP/location
Chain/Scale Armor : 15AP/location
Plate Armor : 20AP/location
Rulebook - under Armor Move
If at any point, a character’s armor is reduced to 0, the armor is considered destroyed and can no longer be repaired. Please role play changing armor and turn in your tags as necessary.

Theme Marshals versus Encounter Marshals
Announcement: The GM staff has changed over staff from Theme Marshals to Encounter Marshals. Why you might ask? Theme Marshals often perform their duties autonomously and without the knowledge of the GM staff prior to a module only to hopefully turn in a report after the fact. Encounter Marshals are expected to prearrange and preapprove all encounters before they go out. This way the GM staff can organize the event schedule, plan for NPC staff needed, prep as needed, hand out possible cross module information and generally run an event. This means a lot more work on the front side of the event but we (the GM staff) feel this is for the betterment of the story. Thank you all during this time of adjustment.

April 2019 The building and land department has issued a safety notice. Until significant repairs are made, house chaos, the fort, the treehouse and the roof of the ordu gate are off-limits for safety reasons. With the removal of the caretaker system, the building and the land staff are hard at work to restore these areas to functionality. And improved caretaker system is being discussed between the building and land department and the board of directors. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Hello players! PM Secretary here with a couple things of note:
We're continuing to get people who've put clarification questions in the "PM feedback" portion of their signout form. That is not the ideal place to ask clarification questions, that part of the signout is asking for your feedback on the PM department's performance during the event. If you use the PM Form (conveniently linked below), you'll get your answer much more quickly, and it'll help us keep a record of what you asked. We really encourage you to use it.
We've had multiple requests for a Word/Docs reformattable copy of the Rulebook, rather than the PDF format usually provided. Our understanding is that this is used to put it into hardbound covers and other creative, field-friendly presentations. We're happy to do so (I personally made a field-friendly "binder" for my copy), but we'd like to add a "user beware" to anyone planning something similar. Prior to recent changes, the Rulebook went without anything other than formatting updates for quite a long time. It's going to be different going forward - we just issued a new copy of the book containing recent clarifications, and more of them are already starting to line up. The RBC will continue to evaluate suggestions as they're submitted, and that might result in changes as well. We don't intend to make any in the near future which are nearly as major as the ones issued over the winter, but we want you to be aware that the Rulebook is a living document; continued improvement of our game will logically result in gradual evolution of our rules. If you commission someone to bind you a fancy expensive copy of the book, and a new one is issued a month later, we're not going to be held responsible.
Racial requirements are just that - requirements. If you're an Elf and you choose to wear a hat, you still have to wear eartips under it. If you're a Halfling and you choose to wear gauntlets, you still have to have fur on underneath them. These requirements have been in effect for a full event now, and staff will be warning and/or removing players from field who are not meeting them. We appreciate your understanding in this.
Also following up on a couple of questions from the event, your PM staff would like to touch on two points regarding the Bardic version of Word of Protection.
If you choose to move through an area affected by something like Word of Protection, you MUST announce the method you're using to move through it. For example, let's say Player One is maintaining a Word of Protection (Level 8). Player Two may choose to come within 10' of Player One by announcing something like "Level 9" (if they are that level) or "Resist Charm" (if they have that skill).
If you are using this or another spell with a duration of "Song", we HIGHLY recommend that you periodically re-announce the name of the spell and any pertinent information during the song. Otherwise, players and NPCs who were not within earshot when it was first announced will have no way to know the objective of the spell-song you're casting.
Thanks for reading! See you at the event!

We’ve had a great reaction to the new rulebook with several clarifications. We don’t want you to have to read several pages of clarifications on top of the new rulebook so we’ve created an updated version of the rulebook with all clarifications added into it.
Hi folks back again with another video update for you the last couple of video updates that we issued went really well they were really well accepted people seem to enjoy them better than just a wallet text on the Facebook group so what we're gonna do going forward is whenever we have something to communicate to you that's more than just a simple quick statement that involves a little bit more in-depth communication we're going to try to do one of these video updates for you the reason that we're doing this one in particular is threefold first we really wanted to thank you we recently had a Q&A; thread on our Facebook group and because we knew that you were gonna have a lot of questions about the new rule book and about the character updates new character sheets and so forth so we wanted to give you a place to do that and it went wonderfully guys we really appreciate the the civil tone that you brought to that we had very little anger very little insulting there was no you know none of the usual internet trolling and we really appreciate that what we ended up with instead is just some wonderful clarifications some answers some places that you came to us and said hey I'm not sure this made sense or I'm not sure this is working the way that you thought it was and because of that we were able to post those clarifications to our play master clarification log which is available both it's linked to both from our website which is kinda hard at Club as well as the Facebook group so all of those answers you can see in one place just by visiting that it's a really good bunch of information but we want to go one step further with that we don't want you to have to go read an entire rule book and then read several pages of clarifications that were issued we want you to have all the information in one place so that's what we're doing this week before the March event we are going to be issuing a new copy of the rule book to the connect club website that includes all of those clarifications so any place that you know the text wasn't clear it's been clarified and all that information is included right in the rule book for you so we really hope that that's helpful we're sorry we're seeing a new copy you know so quickly but it's kind of to be expected that when large changes are made that we need to follow up on a little bit um the most obvious place that we're following up on that is kind of the third point for this video there is one clarification that's being made that's really more of a rules change and we wanted to give you as much information about that as possible we had a couple people asked both on the Q&A; thread and through our play master forum about how three particular skills interacted and that is shield which is the individual weapon skill shield group which is a weapons group that includes buckler and shield and then the shield bash skill which with this new addition of the rules we made shield bash a general skill to try to make it more clear and more understandable how that skill in particular worked how it interacted with the individual weapon skill and with the group and it didn't work it did not make it more clear what we found in during the course of answering those questions for people is that there was a lot of confusion about it still about how it worked and how it was supposed to work and even some of our staff members didn't fully understand how the skill worked to one degree or another so we were faced with the choice we can either one issue a really long clarification saying hey this is how this is supposed to work and you know next time we make a big rules change update it'll be part of this or the other option that we have is that we could just change this one rule we can make this one change to the rules to make it easier to understand and clear for everyone that's what we decided to do is that second option we talked to the board of directors and got approval for it and what we're going to be doing is removing the shield bash skill I say we're moving but not really getting rid of it it's going to be rolled into the shield skill so if you have the ability to use a shield either from an individual weapon skill or from the weapon group when this goes into effect you are going to automatically be able to make that attack with it that you would normally have to have the shield batch skill ever to do so one thing that I should mention is that technically according to our bylaws any rulebook changes whether that's for clarifications whether that's for a major rules change or anything like that it has to be provided to you for one month prior to a taking effect we will be posting this new rule book before the March event here but what that means is that this change doesn't technically go into effect until the April event when your character sheet is updated between the March and April event you'll see that if you had the shield bash skill previously it's going to be removed from your sheet now there's a couple of different ways that this can work for you depending on your circumstance if you previously did not have or if you previously had the shield skill or the shield group skill nothing's going to change in your character sheet what you do get is you now have the added bonus ability of making that shield bash attack with your shield if you choose to so you don't lose anything you just get a new ability if you previously had both shield bash and either shield or shield group shield bash is gonna be removed see they actually get a bunch of points back which is great you retain all of your ability to make a bashing attack with that weapon and you get points back so bonus for you if you had the isolated strange situation where for some reason you had shield bash the skill but you did not have either shield or shield group what we're going to do is if possible we are going to when shield bash is going is removed we're going to replace it with the individual shield skill so you won't have to train additionally for it just instead of shield bash you will have shield so for mages warriors and rogues this is going to mean that there's absolutely no difference to your point cost it's just that shield the skill shield will be on your sheet instead of shield bash the one group of players that this could work differently for in specific and it's a highly specific group is if you are a cleric that has shield bash currently but not shield or shield group either CBM will be getting in contact with you or contact them directly and it's only for that very small I'm not actually even sure that anyone playing the last couple of years has that particular situation but if you are a part of it let us know and we will work out a fix that works for both you and us but for the vast majority of people what this means is the either getting points back or you're getting an additional ability that you didn't have before yeah so that's what we have for this update that book should be posted as soon as possible it's going to be visible visibly different from the previous one because of the first page instead of saying revised January 2019 it's going to say revised March 2019 if you have any questions at all please feel free to email us play master staff at p.m. one at canard org or just submit something through the the play master form which is an even quicker way of communicating to us we check that even more quickly thanks for listening really appreciate your patience and have a great time this weekend.

The econ staff is posting to allow all players to be aware they have until the end of the weeklong event to collect their tags from 2018 and earlier or they will become absorbed back into the economics binders for redistribution. The econ folders are overrun with unclaimed tags for players.
Additionally with the updated rulebook comes updated Econ packets.
With all the changes to the rules, character sheets and general policies that has happened recently. Please make sure to review this document to ensure you receive your character updates in a timely manner this year. It’s all the same information as before, just compressed into an easy to read format.
The ground has many frozen over gofer burls and so wear ankle support as the ground feels like walking on popcorn. Ice warning. Foot attire at cold events is vital. No one will fault you for your non period winter hikers.
This is the first event & it WILL BE cold! Gage your shots accordingly. Check your weapons often, Cold makes the padding hard and the Duct tape extra sharp. Please be safe this weekend.
A note about safety from your friendly neighborhood safety staff. It is cold out that being said be sure to dress in multiple layers to avoid overexposure to the cold. Hydration is as important to avoid hypothermia as it is to avoid heat stroke so drink plenty of water in the days leading up to the event and while at play. If you get so cold you no longer shiver this is something to be concerned about as it indicates your body is shutting down. Steps needed to recover include but are not limited to remove yourself from the cold environment warm your core body first then your extremities and again hydrate. To all that will be out this event play, safe watch your swings your weapons will hurt more in the cold and remember to have fun!!!!!!
Hello club members,
The Building and Land Staff would like to remind everyone that Ordu Towers, the Tree Fort, Rath’s Building Site and Hawkstone’s tower will be roped off with pink tape this event for safety reasons. Do not enter any of these spaces.
The trails are very icy so make sure you have a good footing while walking. We also have some large areas of “popcorn ground”. This is ground that looks solid but will sink your foot a few inches. Great way to hurt an ankle. We know everyone is excited to get on field and swing some weapons but please make sure the area you are fighting on is safe.
If at any point you think an area of field is unsafe for play please find a member of safety or BLD staff and let them know.
It looks like we are going to have a large number of new players attending this event so park smart. Anyone taking up more than one parking spot will be asked to move their vehicle. Many of our orange parking markers fell over this winter and the ground is so frozen we can’t put them back in so use your best judgment.
All of the firepits were raked at the past BLD workday so please get those fires going and stay warm. We hope everyone has an amazing event.
Over the last year, the rulebook committee has been working to update Kanar’s rulebook. At the January board of directors meeting, the BOD approved a new edition to the rulebook. Since then, we have worked closely with the character book marshal staff to make a clean transition for the players. The changes will be in effect at the March event, so please take the time to review these changes as they may have effected your character. The playmaster staff will be present at the event to answer any lingering questions.
You can always download the most recent copy of our rulebook on the kanar.club website; kanar.club/downloads.
We also have a clarification page listing all clarifications we’ve made to the book which can also be found on the downloads page of the website listed above under “rulebook clarifications.”
Also, as always we encourage constructive feedback or questions regarding the rulebook. If you have either, please don’t hesitate to contact us via our playmaster form.
Thank you so much and we look forward to seeing you this weekend!
