Dominion of the Grand River
(Harvest War XV)

This year's theme is an adventuring module based off of the popular card game, Dominion. Players will band into 5-person factions and attempt to collect as many land titles as possible over the course of the event through various adventures and battlegames. The faction with the most overall Victory points by the end of the event gains Dominion over the land and claims victory over the others.

Victory!

Each game will contain many opportunities to collect coins and gold vouchers, which may be used to purchase powerful game items or land deeds. Each land deed is worth a certain amount of Victory points, based off of its size(i.e. a Duchy is worth more than a Shire), and larger titles will cost more coins to purchase. All coins and game items may be looted from a dead person during a game by a living player, but land titles may not be looted during games(although they may be bartered or traded).

Adventure!

I've posted the Dragonspine rules proposals up for a vote at this year's Circle of Monarchs meeting at http://www.electricsamurai.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=22047&start=0

Feel free to review it and send feedback to myself or Francis if you feel that any of them are good or bad ideas. I think this year's stuff is pretty good, and I think that we look far more professional than some of the other kingdoms in that regard.

Some things.

• Image uploads/processing are fixed now.
• I need officer list for updating permissions and a editing a couple
  pages on the website.
• Reign schedule has been blank for a while now. Any logged in user
  can add entries, though knowing a little bit about HTML can help make
  them pretty.
• Who is doing Harvest War this year so I can give them ownership of
  the HW pages?
• Any requests for more functionality or ideas for areas that need work?

I've come to realize that things don't just magically get better on their own. I'm thinking next Saturday(the 23rd), we should have a large and exciting day at the park. People should come out and have fun, invite their friends, et cetera. I will run as many fast-paced and awesome battlegames as I can.

Do you have friends outside the game who might appreciate a day of fun? Have you been thinking about asking somebody to come to Amtgard? This weekend will be the perfect time to bring them out! We should talk to as many people as we can and get people to come to Amtgard on the 23rd. If we really focus on recruiting new people, and they come out to an exciting day at the park, maybe we can hit an upswing on attendance and Amtgard will be a magical and fun place for everybody once again. Loaner garb and weapons will be available, so there should be no obstacle to fun for new players!

Have you been out of Amtgard for a while and are maybe looking for a day to come to the park and see old friends? This could be the perfect time to do exactly that! Old faces that have been out for a time would really brighten everyone's day.
