As the winter months approach, food becomes ever more important for keeping warm and staying healthy. NHC is running one last food drive to give you a golden chance to give the priceless gift of good health. The food bank's current supplies are listed below to give you an idea where the greatest nee...

Dear Monk John Galthen,

Don't be afraid. I leave the side door unlocked so that good travelers like you who are not part of the order and do not own a key can have access to the Abbey.

Grace,
Seori

P.S. The gates are closed when I checked.

It is Findos,the month of Fine Arts! Let's all welcome this beautiful month with a talent show at the Abbey and show our gratitude for the artistic gifts we have each been given. Poets, musicians, and actors are all welcome.

Donations are now being accepted for the construction of public dormitories for the homeless at the Abbey. Every one deserves the dignity of a roof over their heads and the security of having a shelter to go to. Give the priceless gift of dignity and security today!

I have been banned because I had qualms about submitting to the senseless jailing "rp" that PO Punisher sought to impose on me. Why did I have misgivings about the jailing "rp"? 1. The "rp" in jailing "rp" only exists for the jailer 2. Jailing is a one way str...

I enjoyed Arya, Hadrian, Idrandal, and Rachael's roleplaying today. Intense and passionately played out, excellent work! I highly appreciated your dramatic roleplaying, thank you!

Well said, Elijah. It's just not worth the effort to create suspense and tension when people respond that way.

It's a highly motivating idea! I hope more players rally to bring this epic-scale sort of roleplay to life. Shadowbane really has some thrilling faction concepts doesn't it?

A willowy figure in a nun's habit passes by on the elven trail through the forest and stops at the sight.

Kneeling down she asks the orc, "Are you alright?"

Awesome to have you again Ezor! Your long experience here gives you great insight about the community, and that's certainly respectable. See you ingame soon!

Appreciate the incredibly formal yet tender roleplaying tonight at Silverblade for "Kitsa and Altrix's Marriage".

Kudos to Altrix, Kitsa, and Shandra!

A formal, ornamented parchment named "Kitsa and Altrix's Marriage" announces: On this auspicious day, Kitsa and Altrix, were proclaimed husband and wife at Silverblade Abbey by the anointed Prior Seori with order member Shandra as witness. They exchanged marriage vows to forever love and p...

Death seems bad enough to me.

Why are we thinking about ways to increase misery for players? Why not expend this energy to come up ways to make the game more enjoyable?

Please embrace Totski as our new brother in the order of Silverblade. He has donned the white robes of a Novice and will serve in a divine capacity during his trial period.

Bitte heißt Totski als neuste Bürgerin Silverblade willkommen.

A big thank you to Ara, Totski, Shandra, Whisper, Era, Sam, Darian, and Mark.

Highly talented roleplayers each one of you, a joy to be with! Thanks for a memorable night

Please welcome the wonderfully talented tailor Shandra who is our new Clothing Coordinator for the Clothing Bank. Donations of warm winter clothing for the shivering poor may be arranged with Shandra. Shandra is also hard at work using intricate needlework to create works of art that will be worn by...

Come to Silverblade, we're partying and the gate's open!

People tend to think of their characters as themselves, not act their characters as if they would be different beings than the player behind them. Yes, I have to agree. For players to identify with their characters might be a sign of highly immersive roleplaying due to the deep immersion of the pla...

sorry made a double

Really appreciate Slug'Gnar tonight. Props! The effort made to consistently speak with an orc accent was highly admirable! You were awesome, such linguistic creativity, hope to have the joy of meeting you again.

Please welcome the Dwarf Lord Thurik Stronghammer to the Abbey. He has pledged to defend Silverblade with his life and has passed the Rite of Initiation.

Wilkommen Herr Thurik der Abtei Silberklinge!

Magnus, that was an unmanly thing to do. It shows a very mean spirit, devoid of noble and generous feelings, to take advantage of the weakness of others to tyrannize over them. And to do this to a lady who as a female is entitled to your care and protection is base beyond description. Such conduct w...

To address the problem of similar, fixed stats for a majority of characters, why not make attribute points distributable throughout the gaming experience? That might reflect the changing nature of characters as they grow and live. For example, a character born with a weak constitution after a vigoro...

Willpower might help one resist the effects of bard magic such as charming, lulling, and hypnosis by reducing the duration and severity of the spells. When charmed, lulled, or hypnotized by bard music attack speed, dmg, magic resistance, agility, and constitution can be reduced. Willpower might also...

Resolved, thanks.

Someone is trapped underground as a ghost.

Dear Elijah, Please do not frighten the peaceful monks and nuns of Silverblade or startle them with your violent words. You may think little of disrespecting me, but I urge you to show some respect towards the Abbot, the representative of Silverblade Abbey, a branch of the glorious and sovereign Kin...
