For those with Windows, the Snipping Tool will allow you to capture a screenshot as an image. If you search your programs and files from the command button you should be able to find it.
Thanks for the help that got it done for me My husband also appreciates this because I didn't have to bug him about it LOL
Yup Megan.From the Rules ~
Books may be used for multiple different challenges but each book may only be used once within a challenge type.
Example: You may use a book for progress towards the Road to St. Patrick's and the Leprechaun Role-Playing Game but not the same book towards two goals in the Road to St. Patrick's.
I hate to be a bother, but want to make sure I'm reading the answer right. For the leprechaun challenges, we can use a book multiple times as long as it isn't the same quest? Like we could use the same book for more than one mini-challenge in the LRPG - then use it again for the Road to St.Patricks, wishing well, and dress a leprechaun? Those of us coming directly from the NRPG are likely to be more confused because we are so used to only ever being able to use a book a single time.
I think the challenge type is throwing me off. I was thinking of the mini-quests in the LRPG as a single unit with different parts. Like I wouldn't be able to use the same book for a purple and green shard quest right? Or could I hypothetically use a single, perfect book that would fit a task in every shard?
The short answer to the first question is Yes, Daphne.Basically continue to think of it as using only a single time still for NRPG. What is different is you can now use those books for other events, but not within the same ones.
Here's what Kelly said ~
"You can only use a single book for a single quest in the LRPG. However, a book you use in LRPG could also be used in some of the other challenges going on (like Leprechaun dress up). So you can't use the same book for two different LRPG quests."
So ~ think of each piece as a different event.... like the olympics. You have the RPG, Dress Up, Road To, and Wishing Well (so far). One book can cover ONE part of each of those. But one book can not be used multiple times within the SAME event.
Does that make sense?

Absolutely! Thank you so much for explaining it to me so well! I'm sure I managed to make it way more complicated than I needed to. I think what really hung me up where the mini-shard quests in the LRPG. :)

What is the minimum number of pages for all of these challenges?
Jenn wrote: "What is the minimum number of pages for all of these challenges?"I have the same question.
I found an ebook with a bow tie on the cover, but it is less than 100 pages.

Help the mods return to their former forms. The most helpful will be handsomely rewarded before the magic leaves.
There are many ways to earn Leprechaun coins. Spread out or focus on your favorites.
Submit your work to have your coins added to the tally. Link will be added within a day or two.
Rewards
The member with the highest gold return will choose first. The top 3 returns will receive a reward.
☘ Select the next NBRC team challenge from a list of ideas.
☘ Select a NBRC BOM.
☘ Create a challenge idea
All members who participate will receive a NBRC gift card.

Stay tuned for more surprises throughout March!
