September News
Summer days are coming to an end, and we are ready for chrysanthemums and cider!
As we get into the swing of things and prepare for the Gourd Gala, we have a few brief reminders and announcements to share with you all. Read on about these five topics:
1. Letter Uploads
2. Non-Player Critters
3. Support Tickets
4. Website Updates
5. Mossquarters on Holiday
1. Letter Uploads
When you upload your letters, please make sure they are a PDF file type. While AirTable allows you to upload other file types, (like .txt and .doc files, for example,) it does not allow us to actually view or retrieve the files. (Sad trombone sounds.) If you have handwritten your letters, you can use an app on your phone like CamScanner or Adobe Scan to use your phone's camera to scan your letters. If you have typed it up in any program or app on a computer, you can "Print to PDF" and it will save an image as the right file type. If you have any troubles, just open a Support Ticket and we can try to assist.
2. Non-Player Critters
Every letter that you upload and send in to Mossquarters should be from your approved Player Critter, or PC. Would you like your PC to have a family member or friend write as well? That's great! This other Critter is a Non-Player Critter, or NPC, and we must approve this NPC as well. It's a simple process with simple rules.
Fill out this form: NPC Registration (airtable.com)
Wait for us to tell you you're good to go.
Up to 5 of your total 15 letters per month can be from your Registered NPC, or R-NPC!
An R-NPC may not Woo or argue with other players. Specific rules can be found here: Rules | Mosswood LARP
We have had a lot of Players choose to Register an NPC and let their real life children play the R-NPC, with their direct supervision and guidance. We think that is fantastic! We only ask that we be made aware of it in advance.
3. Support Tickets
Do you have a question for Mosswood Staff? If you have access to the Discord server, please open a Support Ticket. This will open a private Channel that only you and the Staff Team can see. This system is set up so that whoever is available first can answer your question or let you know when someone else will be available. Please do not send a Direct Message to anyone on the Staff Team about any Mosswood questions. If all else fails, send us an email! admin@mosswoodlarp.com
4. Website Updates
We've made some updates! Staff Bios, Critter Bios, Neighborhood images, and more!
5. Mossquarters on Holiday
Now that we are up and running whiskers forward, MQ is taking a much needed break. While the Staff will still be online and available, checking Letter Uploads and answering questions, Mina & Jordana will be unavailable for a short time, beginning tomorrow! While Jordana will return after the weekend, Mina is flying straight from a LARP to a vacation with her husband, and incoming mail will be held by Post-Master S. car Goh until the 19th of September. Keep on writing and planning, and remember to RSVP for the Gourd Gala in the meantime.
See you in the Forest!
