== IMPORTANT UPDATE ==
Due to the gatherings ban in Wisconsin and the state of the COVID-19 situation, we have cancelled the July LARP event. Instead, we are doing some online options for player involvement with their PCs based on current storyline.
== DATE & TIME ==
Important Dates:
Wednesday, July 15th
- Resources & Organization Action Deadlines
- PC Involvement Deadline (See below)
== MEMBERSHIP INFO==
***Due to the event itself being cancelled, all players who sign up for a Basic, Standard, or Premium memberships will automatically be awarded the +2 bonus attendance exp.
MEMBERSHIP UPDATES AND EXP BOOSTS
Due to the Covid-19 situation, we have decided to do the following:
1) Continue offering CLOUT as a special Perk option that is available to everyone as one of the membership perks.
2) Expand on the +2 bonus Attendance exp to reflect on the events that would have had multiple days (on top of the base exp offered by each membership). (JULY WAS SLOTTED FOR A SINGLE DAY EVENT; SO THIS BONUS IS +2 FOR JULY)
3) Add a “tiered exp bonus” based on the chosen membership of the month. Basic will give another +1, Standard +2, and Premium a +3 bonus. This is IN ADDITION to the Exp awarded by the membership AND the bonus attendance exp we are offering.
For example, in July:
-Basic membership will award 6 exp (3 base + 2 attendance + 1 tier bonus)
-Standard will award 7 exp (3 base + 2 attendance + 2 tier bonus)
-Premium will award 11 exp (6 base + 2 attendance + 3 tier bonus)

*NOTE: Signing up a PC to get involved in one of the encounters available DOES require a membership to do so:
- Basic allows none
- Standard allows 1 PC to focus on 2 options (different or the same)
- Premium allows up to 2 PCs to focus on 3 options (different of the same)
== STORY INFO & SPECIAL MECHANICS ==
As a concentrated repair and building effort comes to a close last month, the focus of Mardrun shifts over to the annual market faire in July. Many expected the faire to be held in City-State territory and there were rumors that Clan Nightriver was going to make an announcement soon about holding a festival. However, the Prince of New Aldoria seems to have beaten everyone to the punch and announced, rather brashly, that Aylin's Reach will be hosting a market faire this month. Drawing ire from some nobles about "not maintaining etiquette" has little impact on the merchants that have quickly pledged to travel to and setup at Aylin's Reach.
The new home to New Aldoria has seen tremendous economic and structural expansion over the last two years. Between a close partnership with Clan Stormjarl and a great opportunity to be involved in many construction and relocation contracts for the former Clan Squallborn Ulven, Aylin's Reach has solidified itself as a strong rival to the impressive territories of the City-State. Although nowhere near as large in size, the mercantile networks of New Aldoria seem to be involved and invested in everything going on in the continent.
Representatives from all corners of Mardrun are expected to make an appearance, granting great opportunities for attendees to mingle with powerful people on Mardrun. The market faire will be host to all sorts of merchants and the usual tournaments and games of chance are expected to add excitement to the faire.
= JULY MEMBERSHIP SPECIAL MECHANICS =
1) Optional PC Involvement Encounter and Deadline
Players this month have some options to get involved in the current story line if they so choose. This DOES require Standard or Premium memberships to be involved!
A Standard membership allows a player to involve ONE PC in TWO options.
A Premium membership allows a player to involve ONE PC in THREE options -OR- TWO PCs in up to THREE options.
You simply sign up via the link above and detail out which PCs are involved and what their "focus" is.
The options available are:
1) DOWNTIME RECOVERY: Repair equipment and heal wounds, this option focuses on recovery. The more PCs signing up for this, the heavier the discount or the potential for free downtime recovery.
2) ECONOMIC/MERCANTILE: Buying, selling, trading, wheeling and dealing... this option is all about interacting with the market faire's merchants and focusing on coin. The more PCs that signup for this, the greater the impact on the economy and chance to make coin.
3) SOCIAL/POLITICAL: Every market faire draws a number of nobles, representatives, movers and shakers... this option focuses on rubbing elbows and making contact with others.
4) GAMBLING & TOURNAMENTS: This option either focuses on different tournaments of martial prowess or in games of chance; there is a chance to either make an impact with your presence or make some high-risk/high-reward coin.
The deadline for this involvement is Wednesday, July 15th.
Players who assist their involvement with the encounter with Resources or Organization actions will make a significantly larger impact on their PCs involvement; whether that be more impactful or more profitable.
At the end of the month, we will release a story narrative detailing out how the story progresses.
