The Local Tavern Showing 251-300 of 9,708

[Kelly]

I went with a pattern of adding the two previous levels experience together to get the next level.

So far for Feb we only have the ones listed. For March I have quite a few in the works. They'll also be some alternative ways to augment your max health. (And probably some full resting heals too)

[Alex]

I missed the resting heals stuff. How long do you need to rest to be fully healed?

[Kelly]

Are you thinking that you'll run out of things to work on in Feb? I'm willing to bump up a few more quests into February if people feel we need to.

Right now you can do resting heals by spelling out healing words. (1 hp per letter).

I'm planning on adding quests that will give the same type of full heal that you get from leveling up since levels will be coming slower as you get higher.

Frankly, yes. So any new quests to gain experience points would be appreciated.

Excellent. Settles in for a drink or 5.

Ok. Let's see what I can pull in.

Enjoy February Quests Round 2.

[Zuzana]

Oh my, new quests. Now I have to change all my February reading plans. :)

I'm kidding, I love that now we have more options. There's so many quests now that everybody can find a perfect one for him/herself.

[RachelvlehcaR]

Oh!!! I'm excited. New Quests.

[Zuzana]

I have a couple of questions regarding the Academy quest.

"2)Read and Participate in a BOM Discussion
6) Participate in a Buddy Read
8) Request a recommendation or choose one already recommended and read it"

Is it enough to read and participate in the discussion (to provide a link maybe) or do I have to "use up" the book I read for this task.

"3) Volunteer to write DQ for a BOM."

A dumb question: What does DQ stand for? I came up with Drama Queen, Disqualification and Definite Quantity. :p Nevermind I figured it out myself. ;-)

[Reva]

Kelly,

For the Queens New Clothes,

Read 3 or 5 books from 2015 or with clothing on the cover to acquire a nice selection of fabrics to construct the Queen's new clothing.

Is it either published in 2015 OR clothing on the cover?

OR

is it clothing on the cover published in 2015?

[ClaireB]

New quests !!! Awesome!!!

[Emma (M)]

Wow!!! So many quests to choose from!

[Kate]

Hello fellow adventurers! I've decided to start my own journey. I hope it's not too late to join. I just spent the last hour reading the old thread and how this role-playing game goes. Sounds complicated but I guess I'll learn along.

[Zuzana]

Welcome Kate! The more the merrier. :) If you have any questions, you can ask here.

[Cait S]

Question for you on the Academy quest:

For the option of starting a spell it out challenge and completing at least one word, can we use a challenge we've already started if we start with an empty word?

For example I'm doing the Animal Alphabet Spell It Out, which I started in October, but I haven't started spelling the word "TIGER" at all. So could I use that or do I need to join an entirely new challenge and use of those words?

[❀Tea❀]

Not Kelly, but I could also answer some of those :)

Zuzana wrote: "Is it enough to read and participate in the discussion (to provide a link maybe) or do I have to "use up" the book I read for this task. "

You're using that book for this task. And it would be great to provide link for at least one of your posts.

This one :)

That would work. As long as you start it after this quest, it's good.

[❀Tea❀]

And now we need new quests for March! *sigh*
Why Kelly? Whyyyy???

[❀Tea❀]

Welcome Kate to the circus quest. Grab a chair, drink a pint and have some fun. :)

[Reva]

Kate, Welcome. It's never too late

[Zuzana]

I like the Academy quest. I've been a NBRC member for a while but this challenge and this quest in particular made me really explore the group and thanks to it I found out so many new things, so many options to have fun within this group. Great job, mods.

Zuzana wrote: "Re Academy quest:

I'd say 3 also. You need to write DQs for BOM. No wait, that's 2nd task book! Is that same book?!


Hm, I'd better let Kelly answer that one.


(Only 3 books for this. Something's wrong! :P)

[Zuzana]

Nothing wrong with that. *smiles at Tea innocently* ;-)

I'll wait for Kelly to answer that one. It might be helpful to add this to the quest description on the notice board, too.

[❀Tea❀]

Yeah, I discovered few things I didn't catch when we were making this one. But, hey, I thought we have whole month to work all the kinks out. :P


Kelly,
1. Does books read for spell-out and monthly/seasonal challenge (4 & 5) count as used here or they are still available to be used in other quests?
2. (I asked that in brainstorming, but repeating it here for others) Those ranks in Academy are exclusive? If you're going for professor, does that mean you also get exp and potion for associate (since you did finish that one)?

Blame Reva ;) She asked. Plus we have a whole 15 days to make up new March ones :P

Heh. The intent of this one is that none of them use up a book. They're similar to the introduce yourself quest at the beginning where it's about participation in other area's of NBRC.

You may keep your book to use elsewhere.

1. They're still available.
2. The ranks are not exclusive. You earn them as you complete enough to qualify for that rank.

Adding the note about tasks not using up your books to the description now.

[Kelly]

Ok. Think I answered all the questions. Let me know if I missed any.

[Dani]

Here Kelly. I think you need a drink after all of that. *passes over mug* (and thanks!)

Give up. You can't bribe her. Trust me, I've tried :P

[Alex]

Dani try threatening her!!

[❀Tea❀]

Alex wrote: "Dani try threatening her!!"

That doesn't work also. *sigh*

[Alex]

Wow she is tough, maybe that is why she heads up this gang of misfits.

[Nancy]

Would the word 'bloody' work for the first Healing quest (i.e. The Bloody Chamber & Other Stories)?

[❀Tea❀]

I don't know. Maybe she's only immune to me :)

[Emma (M)]

For the following two tasks in the academy quest,


2) Read and Participate in a BOM Discussion
3) Volunteer to write DQ for a BOM

Can they be for the same BOM or two different BOMs?

I'd say they can be same, but you could do two :P

I'm ok with that since blood was on our list.

Yeah, but no bribing, begging or threatening gave me any perks. I'm still average hero. *sigh*

And I'm still waiting for my sidekick.

[Alex]

Just to double check, we can start submitting tasks for the new quests today? The books in my infinite tote fit into Date Night perfectly and I fancy a few more exp :-)

Yep.

I was already robbed by necromancer. He took all my goblin bones. *sigh*
