Gonna be missed here <3
I'll always remember every plot session, and every interaction with both Celebrithrade and the couple interactions with Cassian! I know we won't stop chatting, but I'll miss the RP. I look forward to reading any and all of your writing, and know you'll be published someday, you're super talented!

Alright, wanted to give it a couple days for visibility!

Here's my plan so far, if any of this changes interest of anyone, no hard feelings <3

The Guildhall will be located within a Lodge located in Thunderstone (yet to be built, likely once the town itself is rebuilt). Access to the Lodge itself is public. The entrance to the Hunter's Guild will be within the Lodge, but only accessible by the rangers of the Guildhall.

Rules:
-All rangers are welcome unless they commit crimes against nature, including but not limited to; overhunting, acts against conservation, actively destroying or poisoning the wilderness. Proof of doing so will get you removed from the guild and the local druids advised and authorities informed.
-While religious discourse of a civil nature is allowed so long as all parties involved are desiring to do so, arguments thereof are not allowed within the Guildhall. Take it outside and hash it out elsewhere.
-It is acceptable to show off and discuss trophies of previous hunts. HOWEVER, sentient trophies of any kind are NOT to be shown off within the guild. This does include monstrous races such as goblins and orcs, but also unicorns, fey, etc.

Both my PCs would be interested in different aspects.

So long as they have ranger levels they're welcome!

I find this to be highly restrictive and a bit meta.

How does one prove they have ranger levels IC?

Saccharine is a Fae - would the rangers bar a fae from entering and wishing to commune with life?


Fain is a priestesses but her goddess is Eilistraee a strong ranger goddess in a sense, and by being a priestess of her she is inherently ranger like -but I can't mechanically take levels and be viable.

It just seems strange to limit a IC group based off something that is purely OOC.

I'm sorry you feel that way, it's not my intention to be restrictive in any malicious way, but my interest and desire in this idea is to have it be nearly exactly like the canon ranger guildhalls mentioned in Magic of Faerun, as I posted the pictures of. It's something I've wished to put together for over a year now, to give some love to a class I adore the thematic vibe of. As far as being restrictive or meta, it's not much different than the factions and player groups that are specific to a deity, those who worship a different deity are not in those groups.

As Probot said, classes are an IC thing to a degree. Additionally, there are ways to prove the class, like trackless step.
And as Edge said, it's not going to be a nature faction.

Again, while restrictive I do not mean it in any malicious way or to make people feel left out, just....not all things are meant to include everyone.

Where would it be based out of?

Regardless my elf would be interested

I don't have a location set just yet! But thus far I'm leaning towards either in Thunderstone or off in a forest

I would be interested. Is a membership in Starlight or the Conclave an issue?

No issue at all! Any PC with ranger levels! I don't plan to have any limitation on deity or alignment, they'll just have to cover up outside the guildhall if they're ECLs that need to, etc.

Both my PCs would be interested in different aspects.

So long as they have ranger levels they're welcome!

In 'Magic of Faerun' page 48 details Ranger Guilds, I have been holding an interest in getting one started for ages now and finally want to check for interest in it. It wouldn't be a player faction, but more a player group. A place for rangers of various levels to exchange news, tips, advice, companionship. In addition, in starting the Ranger Guildhall I'd also want to try and orchestrate 'The Hunt' on a yearly basis. It's a yearly gathering of rangers where they gather together for practice, camaraderie, and competition. It's nothing deity specific but both the ranger guildhall and the 'Hunt' are specific to rangers as a class. I wouldn't limit it to people with a majority class levels in ranger, but at least a dip and overall the thematic feeling of the character to very much be 'ranger'.

I'm going to leave the parts from 'Magic of Faerun' here and if you're interested in something like this please let me know by posting here and telling me about your ranger! <3

Adding to what all has been said already, Fox, you will be missed. Not just for all the wonderful work you have done, or your hilarious quests and FoxMagic, but just you as a person. Wish we'd been able to RP or chat more, take care of yourself Fox <3

I think there are a few other Divine Seekers, (My Vivienne is!)

I will say, I've run into the same issue, Sacred Stealth does absolutely nothing for Vivienne at this point. I've considered dropping the class but I love the flavor of it too much.

I know nothing about balancing or anything but from my angle your suggestion sounds good!

Okay, I have to add this. Blackheart I've greatly enjoyed the DoM conference! Watching the politics, the delegates back and forth and they way the NPCs interacted was really fun to see. Also though, being able to speak to them. I can't imagine it was easy to go back and forth, having so many speaking to the NPCs and you jumping between. Plus they all just looked so awesome!! The Lion and the Fox, man if they were in a Dragon Age game they'd be in my party FOREVER. Mad props

Wanted to quick drop some feedback I've been compiling together for awhile!

I can't tag all of you so I first just want to offer my appreciation to all of the staff and DMs here, you all do SO much great work! I hope you all know how wonderful you are and take enough rest from all that effort I know you all put in to making CD as great as it is <3

Eidolon Looking forward to how Deeds of Cruelty progresses, I've so enjoyed interacting with Evita again!!!

ladybug Even though I chose the wrong character for it (not due to the plot itself) I enjoyed Coinflip, glad to have been able to be in your plot!

Melody I've been so fortunate to be in several of your plots and I never cease to be amazed. Each time I think, "THIS is my favorite NPC" and then you bring out another. I feel no difference in NPCs you make up or NPCs that have canon behind them, they all feel firmly integrated and real.

Blackheart I knew going into Destiny of Man I'd thoroughly enjoy myself, mostly because of how enjoyable ORTA was! The amount of juggling of various groups, keeping us all updated with the various lore and flavor posts, with rumors and maps and all the juicy bits has got to be so much work! So thank you for all you're doing! I've thoroughly enjoyed the events for the group I've been in, the surprises and set dressing, the lore I've learned through it and the path it's taken us has all been so fun. I've learned Faerun lore I never knew and enjoyed exploring it all as we've gone. I've run the full gamut of emotions through the quests (I knew you'd get me crying at least once!) and I can't stop going over each one for hours after, thinking over all the possible ramifications of each choice, what was learned, and thoughts on going forward. I'll second SpacePope's words regarding the last event, that NPC was perfectly evil but captivating at the same time. I'm excited to see how Destiny of Man proceeds and how it affects, not only the regions, but the characters as well

Adding my own kudos a well for Blackheart. Fantastic as always!!

Just like to leave a note of thanks for aDM Harlequin aliceofthevoid for adding the CW: Arachnophobia in their recent announced quest. It's much appreciated <3

I wanted to take a moment to thank multiple DMs

Melody -Thanks Melody for the crazy quests, so intense in such a good way!

Blackheart -Thanks for jumping in to help with our split party and delivering such a terrifying encounter!

Wolfgar -Thanks for sticking around tonight while I relogged to make sure my new PC could move around

And honestly just in general, thank you all CD staff, wanting to stress once again how happy I am to be a part of this server <3

I just wanted to take a moment to once again thank Blackheart for the amazing questline. I'm so honored I got to be a part of it and truly had a wonderful time, from the very beginning to the very end tonight.
