Morning Coffee Break
Got your morning cup of coffee and a few minutes? Great! We're continuing our coffee break feature at the View - we're going to be asking a series of questions and we want to know your answers! The question is posted below. So while you sip your morning beverage of choice, ruminate on this one:
You wake one morning to find a perfectly ordinary object from your childhood sitting on your doorstep. You have no idea how it got there. What is it, and who do you suspect left it for you?
Head on back to Social Media to let us know!

KoSD Questing 4 Wrap-up and Thank You!
From John R, Justin BH and Ed D:
Thanks so much to all you adventurers who came to help Danny in Slumbertimeland at "KoSD Questing 4 - Chapter 1 Redux". Your EH team hopes you had a blast diving into Danny's story a little more, hopefully taking back some lessons about fear, family, and being aware of what you wish for.
We want to give special thanks to the rest of our EH planning team: Kelly P, Brookelyn T, Sawyer J, and Becky B. These people put many hours into building this weekend-long event for you. Sawyer: You rocked as a Head NPC, and your help made all the combat encounters shine.
We also could not have done this without our excellent NPCs and supporters, Hannah B, Connor D, Zach S, Peter K, Hillary F, Zack E, Kathy F, Ethan K, Steven N, MJ R, Nixon S, Chris G, Paul T, and Bella. You all pitched in to help make this event possible, and you have our deep gratitude. Special thanks also to Chris G for the use of the Drider/Charlotte rig again, as well as Staycee R for propwork, both of keeping John upright and the Ghostly Dress.
Thank you also to the PCs who stayed and helped clean up: Kanik H, Max M, Owen L, Tim M, and Madi N.
We look forward to seeing you at the opening of KoSD Questing 5, where we will see the opening of Chapter 2. Bring a Jacket.
**Between Game Actions**
Up to two weeks before KoSD Questing 5, you may take up to 3 between game actions. Between Game Actions may consist of:
Casting one spell of fifth circle or lower toward a section of the plot.
Having a short letter correspondence with an NPC.
Having a short conversation with an NPC.
Some other similar caliber action.
BGAs are accepted depending on EH/marshal availability, discretion, and player presence at events. BGA requests should be sent to John Rescigno, Justin Balanca-Hawkes, Ed Drummond, and Kelly Perfetto.

Why I Want To Go - Tournaments Of the Blue Rose 26'
by: Arthur "Aiden" Granger
It’s that time again folks! The Blue Rose has put together another chapter in their length history filled with attractions for players new and old. There's a lot of ground to cover so allow me to list out attractions to expect.
Tournaments- The Blue rose tournaments feature competition of the highest caliber and the illustrious “Blademaster” Over the years heroes of the realm have tested their mettle in a wide array of combat. If you're aiming to live game history this is a stop you should make in your journey. Only few in my time have achieved this rank and if you feel you have what it takes to join their ranks in the halls of time then this should be on your to do list. Making an appearance this year a nation tourney is in place. Offering a larger scale pvp experience entire groups are welcome to take the arena in an exercise of teamwork and field superiority.
Conventional tournaments not your style? Not a problem! There is to be a gold auction on night one and night two a cash charity raffle. Kharma has personally scoured the realms to put together a spread of goods and items from across the realm. If you are the type to enjoy interesting curios, rare and old currencies for your collections, or that piece of gear you have been needing to procure this really should be on your bucket list this year. Proceeds from the cash raffle are going to a family from within the community who could use a little help as we all do from time to time.
Finally can we talk about questing for a second? The Blue Rose team has ensured for years now that even the most novice treasure hunter will not go home empty handed. Not into tournaments? Well take a walk and it would not be unusual to find a box filled with goodies or some other prize around! This year activities are being held within Kalumdaka. For those unfamiliar its actually one of the youngest provinces within Blackwood founded by two old friends Meds and Faust. For those who haven't had the experience of meeting them I can tell you for fact you never know what your gonna find. I hear orcs or some other creatures have been about and we will probably have to deal with that….. Past the fun and games many of you have heard me speak on my own hunt to gather keys for the Church of Shadow. Hopes are high that the rumors that have floated about are true for leads on this goal. Time is ticking and last year we heard of this “raven lady” being. Given my own experiences last year I can say she is not someone we want to deal with more than necessary and I intend to make my preparations between now and arrival to have everything we need ready for expeditions to take place.
