What You Missed - Pressure Point
Why I Want to Go- Best Forgotten
Best Forgotten
August 3, 2013 (Saturday 12pm) - August 3, 2013 (Saturday 6pm)
Event Type: Quest
This is the second part of the Path of Light series of events for this year. Again the players will be protecting Harconian Keep. This event will be very combat heavy so come prepared for some epic fights. Likewise there is no limitation this event for how many weapons a person can carry. Be aware that PCs will be asked to NPC certain portions of the event; basically players will PC some and NPC other sections similar to Convergences style events. There is an 80 person cap for the event so check to see if there is still room; likely there will be room but check first to be sure.

Why I Want to Go- The Event Which Must Not Be Named II
The Event Which Must Not Be Named II
August 2, 2013 (Friday 6pm) - August 4, 2013 (Sunday 5pm)
Event Type: Quest
Last year this homage to the Harry Potter series was chock full of superb costuming and props. Along with those, there were interesting and fun encounters for the players of various types. You could tell a lot of work went into the event and the people who were there had a lot of fun. If you missed it last year, this is your chance to join in on the fun times. This will be a solid 3 days of questing running from Friday night until Sunday. Honestly, you should go if you can.

Realmscraft: Acteon by Gary "Dagger" Heinstrom
In this
addition, we take a look at the construction of Acteon. There is also a revised version of the Play
Realmscraft section with links to help and information websites. If you are interested, or just want something
built, you can follow those links and learn what you need to get the answers
and assistance you want.
Realmscraft Project
“For over 20
years [Around 30], players in the Realms have met on weekends and played
characters in a fictional world. We have
maps, and imagine that we come from lands with castles, roads, bridges, towns,
and everything else that might fit a medieval fantasy theme. Until now, those lands have lived in our
stories, songs, poems, and fertile imaginations. This project is an attempt to change that.
‘Realmscraft’
could never replace LARPing, but with the right approach it can be a tool to
make our shared roleplaying experience deeper and more fulfilling than ever
before.”
In service
to the Realms,
- Stephen
Johnson, KoR, KoEF

Author’s Notes
Today in Realmscraft, we have a handful of new projects underway. Members of the Blackwood province of Thorne Valley have joined the ranks and have begun the construction of their lands. In the last issue we looked at Eagles Rook City. Today, much of the nation of Eagles Rook, as a whole, is also well underway. One of the longer running projects, and the focus of this issue, thus far is the construction of the City of Flying Tree in the Blackwood Province of Acteon. Toah has been hammering away at temples, shops, arenas and taverns for many months. Here is a glimpse at what he has come up with so far.

Brief History
Far to the west lies the humble yet dangerous land of Acteon. A battle was raged at the base of a great tree. At the end of the battle, the trees’ base had been destroyed but the tree remained floating high above the ground. That tree became the name sake of the city that sprung up around it. Flying Tree is now Acteon’s capital so named after a floating tree.
Lord Saegan Hart is the lord of these lands. In recent years, the nation of Acteon swore to the Principality of Blackwood uniting its strength with theirs.
