Hello one and all. If you read that in a really serious tone of voice that is how I spoke it in my head when typing it. But this isn’t a serious newsletter, not really. I mean I quoted ‘Les Miserables’ in the title if that says anything about it. But anyway on with the newsletter!!
❗ Announcements ❗

👻Halloweek👻
Boo! What is this? Well Halloweek is an event we’re trying to bring back. Well it's less of an event and more a theme trying to incorporate the theme of Halloween into our society.
This may be through theming our events to match horror themes or running your games that week with some spooky inspired monsters. So have a think about what you can do/ would want and talk to our faction reps about making this happen!! Or I’ll drag you into a grave! (I’m kidding I won’t actually kill anyone that's not very welfare of me)

💭 What happened last week? 💭
Last week in LARP
- Weapon Con: Due to the weather, this week we did an in character social. A mercenary doctor had gathered together the great minds of Bibliyat to convince them to run a convention around the martial and mundane arts. And thus began Weapon Con. Everyone gathered in character to share stories, make deals and meet those they may be adventuring with, with food and drink provided by the wonderful maid Millie, who had a reunion with her brother at the event. Deals were made, people were shot in the name of proving they could walk away from being shot, weapons were tried, and a good time was had by all.
Last week in CCGs

Last week in RPGs
- Showdown in the Badlands: The start of a short cowboy game can be summed up by the dm's words of: "Lotta people got their shit blown clean off"
- Eclion: The 4 princess sisters, discovering their kingdom falling, make their way back towards the capital where a roadblock and refugee prisoner camp has been set up. The sisters make an attack on the camp, with Solstice making big hits due to her enlarged state, Vega drawing on a significant amount of energy, seemingingly harming herself in order to do large scale attacks, and Nova slamming magical blasts into the magically engineered fighters. When faced with the decision as to whether they were to stop, or make those in the wrong pay for what they've done, Pandora steps up and reminds the sisters to act in a way father would have wanted. After the fight, the group gets a brief respite and took a moment to mourn their father, but it doesn't last for long as they make their way to the next stop. There, the man with the coin, revealing his name as Gwyn Veylorn speaks of the trail the sisters must follow, drawing a lot of focus to fate. The group enter the tomb and are bestowed with the blessing of one of their ancestors, receiving a vestige. After, the group make a brief pitstop in Formouth where Orin, the Royal Hunter meets the princesses and makes sure their path is clear. They then head south towards the first Astral they are set to take on: Titan. The sisters share a moment of emotional bonding, starting to share some secrets of visions and feelings from before the kingdom fell, but some things are still kept close to the chest. The next day, Veylorn appears once again and helps the princesses get past an Imperial roadblock stopping access to Titan. Before he leaves, he challenges the eldest daughter, Nova: 'Three of your companions do not know the path they walk nor where it ends.' Upon being pushed further on this after Veylorn leaves, Nova recounts a conversation had with her father where a prophecy was shared. 'The line of Astraea must come to an end. Only then can the world be saved'
