Blanket Services 2009
Blanket
Services are offered as a way for the players of NERO
Ohio
and NERO West Virginia to take part in the Tyrran Campaign Setting© outside of
the course of normally scheduled events. The services outlined below can
only be offered by the appropriate Plot person and with the express approval of
the WAR Office. All payments must be made in full to the
Wheeling Association
of Roleplaying before any Blankets will be applied, and all fees are
non-refundable once the service has been provided. All of these services
are limited in scope by the NERO International Services
document. To request one of these
services, visit the CONTACT US page and contact the Plot Team
of your choice.
Tailored Adventure (Module): This service involves a 2-4 hour
adventure in which the party will interact with NPCs in an adversarial
environment. We will offer adventures at virtually any time when events are not
running. Advance notice of at least two weeks is needed for an adventure
to be setup and run. Most adventures are run for 6 to 10 people although any number from
one to twenty can attend, and usually have a start and a finish involving one
topic. The cost to PC and/or NPC a Tailored Adventure is the same as that
for a Module Day. Tailored Adventures count as closed modules, and the
group cannot interact with other PCs once the game has begun. Tailored
Adventures are always subject to the availability of the required NPCs, and only
a certified NERO Ohio and/or NERO West Virginia Plot Team Member can oversee a
NERO Tailored Adventure.
NERO ® Plot Submission, small: Players may submit plot write-ups
to the Campaign Plot Team or any one of the Local Plot Teams explaining what
they prefer their character to be doing for any period of time (usually from
5
days) between events. The Small Plot Submission is at least 5 sentences long but
not more than half a printed page of Times New Roman Text at font-size 12. A
response will be sent within 15 days explaining what occurred with the character
for that period of time. The cost for this service is $20,
and a 1.0 blanket is awarded for turning in a Small Plot Submission in this way.
Only one Plot Submission (large or small) is permitted per month, per character.
Coins cannot be used to "max-out" Blankets earned in this manner.
Items, training, and/or coins can never be gained/created by a character taking
part in a Plot Submission or Role-Play Session in this way.
NERO ® Plot Submission, Large: Players may submit plot write-ups
to the Campaign Plot Team or any one of the Local Plot Teams explaining what
they prefer their character to be doing for any period of time (usually from
5
days) between events. The Large Plot Submission is rather extensive, but cannot
be more than two printed pages of Times New Roman Text at font-size 12. A
response will be sent within 15 days explaining what occurred with the character
for that period of time. The cost for this service is $40,
and a 2.0 blanket is awarded for turning in a Large Plot Submission in this way.
Only one Plot Submission (large or small) is permitted per month, per character.
Coins cannot be used to "max-out" Blankets earned in this manner.
Items, training, and/or coins can never be gained/created by a character taking
part in a Plot Submission or Role-Play Session in this way.
NERO ® Role-Play Session: Players may interact with Plot in
a non-adversarial way outside of an Event setting through a person to person
meeting. During this time the player will interact with certain characters
and/or groups while role-playing through what their character does. There are
are two types of Role-play sessions available, a 30 minute role-play session
(Short) and a 1 hour role-play session (Long). The charge for this service is
$10 for a short session and $20 for a long session. A short session awards the
character with a 0.5 Blanket, while a long session awards a 1.0 Blanket.
No more than one full blanket can be gained through role-play sessions per
month, per character. Role-Play Sessions are always subject to the
availability of the required NPCs, and only a certified NERO Ohio and/or NERO
West Virginia Plot Team Member can oversee a NERO Role-Play Session. Coins
cannot be used to "max-out" Blankets earned in this manner. Items,
training, and/or coins can never be gained/created by a character taking part in
a Plot Submission or Role-Play Session in this way.
